	James Cagney won Best Actor for 'Yankee Doodle Dandy.' 'Sunset Boulevard' won for Best Original Screenplay. This quiz is all wrong.

	How is this the Top 100 if there are only 67 answers?

	It's Close Encounters (you left off the 's'). You should give credit for "Sunset Blvd" because that's the official title. Is this list just for those movies in the AFI's regular top 100 that didn't receive best picture?

	Silence of the Lambs won Best Picture in 1991.

	Silence of the Lambs also won Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director (Jonathan Demme), and Best Adapted Screenplay. what more do you want?

	I believe this is supposed to be all the movies that made the AFI's Top 100 Films list (1997 version), but didn't win Best Picture. It could be an interesting quiz, but it needs work. The title should mention Best Picture Oscar, because many of these films won other Oscars (acting, writing, etc.). Movies that actually WON Best Picture should not be included: Silence of the Lambs. Spelling errors should be corrected, and as debbiedoesnothin mentioned, "Sunset Blvd" should also be accepted. And a source should be used - this list is available all over the place, so it shouldn't be hard to add it. Neat idea for a quiz, though. I think the quiz can be pretty solid.

	Patton is another one that won best picture.

	Oh my....in what sense did these pictures not receive Oscars? You need to be more specific. "Star Wars", for instance, did not receive Best Picture, but did receive numerous production awards. Silence of the Lambs was a huge winner for its year, winning Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Director. Besides this, there are numerous spelling errors, such as "Bringin Up Baby" and other entries that should accept other guesses. "Sunset Blvd." for instance is the actual title of that picture, and the shorter form "Snow White" and "2001" should suffice for answers on those titles.

	Do not drink and make Sporcle quizzes.

	If this quiz is just Best Picture you included two films that did win Best Picture (The Silence of the Lambs and Patton). The Silence of the Lambs even won the 5 major awards (something only two other films have done). Also please correct the spelling errors, provide a link, and specify that this is the 1998 list and not the 2007 list.

	Nashville isn't on their list? For shame.

	I've made all of the corrections listed - and I changed the name to Best Picture, for which it should have been. Thank you
