	It's tragic that so many people are more familiar with American Gangster and American Gigolo than with the REAL classic-- An American Werewolf in London. It really is a fun movie. And The Quiet American is NOT funny, but it is excellent.

	Should have included "American Movie". Still a good quiz!

	Good stuff. I forgot a few, but after seeing the answers, I wasn't that upset about forgetting utterly forgettable pieces of junk like An American Carol or American Outlaws. Other possible additions could be "American Me" w/ Edward James Olmos and "American Heart" w/ Jeff Bridges.

	@Karras and wolfpackjaw: Coming to America doesn't fit the criterion--the quiz is asking for films with "AmericaN" in the title. OTOH, why couldn't "American Splendor" make this quiz? Ah well, maybe the sequel. (And there are a number of films that could make that quiz, including some delightfully cheesy films like "American Ninja" and "American Anthem.")

Two things. 1. Why was the Hugh Grant movie out of order? 2. This is the second time on Sporcle I missed American Flyers, a movie my uncle was in. Once again family I fail you.

	Glad that you included Wet Hot American Summer, love that movie soo much. By the guys that created Stella, not to mention the film has a star-studded cast.

	Great. You just reminded me of how bad Madonna's American Pie cover was.

	Thank you for including one of my all time favs: An American in Paris. Gene Kelly is amazing!!

	chikka2:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 10:40 GMT	8 points
	In 1963 Marlon Brando starred in a movie about Vietnam, called The Ugly American

	schulace:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 11:24 GMT	12 points
	@TypicalMoron: No, they probably left that one out because it hasn't got "american" in the title. Anyway, it's ronery, not wonewy.

	franzfredric:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 12:53 GMT	10 points
	how to make an american quilt. i only know it because my wife made me watch it. i promise.

	ostroffj:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 13:14 GMT	10 points
	Great, now "American" doesn't look like a word anymore. Thanks, semantic satiation!

	Goldash007:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 13:26 GMT	4 points
	How did I miss "American Psycho"? :P Otherwise, fine and difficult quiz. I actually prefer that every "American" movie wasn't included for difficulty's sake. A lot of these recent "American" movies have been box office busts so it makes things a bit harder despite being fairly recent.

	American Yakuza. You can't add "coming to america" because it doesnt contain the word american!!

	redsxfenway:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 15:52 GMT	2 points
	doh. I got the Gene Kelly and Griffin Dune movies mixed up. It's not 'American in London' and 'American Werewolf in Paris.' (although the latter does exist)

	wilsonhubbell:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 16:24 GMT	24 points
	What about American Pie 8, American Pie Presents: A Scenario That Will End in Gratuitous Female Toplessness.

	toucan:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 18:21 GMT	4 points
	"American Movie" is a great documentary, won the big prize at sundance in 1999.

	adamnvillani:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	8 points
	People, wake up! "Coming to America" does NOT have the word "American" in the title! Neither does "Team America: World Police." Niether does "Angels in America." Sheesh.

	jnb987:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 19:28 GMT	2 points
	I'm just sad less than 10% of Sporclers know American Splendor. See that movie folks! It's wonderful.

	jonnywardy:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 19:50 GMT	1 point
	Always taken the word American for granted... it's only now I've seen it repeatedly I've realised how decidedly un-English it looks.

	caramba:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 22:03 GMT	1 point
	Big thumbs up for NOT including one of the worst movies I have ever seen - Born American. Over 20 years later and I can still recall that ridiculous human chess scene

	05dempc:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 22:48 GMT	0 points
	American Virgin - Rob Schneider. Why can't you just write 'Pie' instead of 'American Pie' the word 'American' is implied considering it's the topic.

	@sporcle admins: I hope the clue for American Gangster wasn't changed simply because of ifreebasetrivia's stupid comment. That's just soft if so.
