	No Cary Grant? He was named the Second Greatest Male Film Star of All Time by the American Film Institute (behind only Humphrey Bogart).

	I'm thoroughly disappointed that there's no Cary Grant. To me, he personifies classic acting.

	I got all the women but missed three of the men. I wish we still had great female stars like this today. There are so few great actresses left.

	i'm kinda surprised James Dean isn't on here, I know he had a pretty short career, but still...

	This quiz would be one of my favorites had Cary Grant and Grace Kelly been included.

	Phenomenal quiz. I have heard all of these names but didn't know many of the faces. We had some good-looking actors and actresses back in the day.

	Happy to see Marlon Brando but sad there's no Cary Grant.

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 04:47 GMT	18 points
	That being said, Ronald Reagan = WTF. I mean, really? Instead of Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Katharine Hepburn, Anne Bancroft, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Laurence Olivier, Burt Lancaster...???

	Please insert yours "I cannot believe [name] wasn't on the list." Seriously, folks, with this quiz's popularity it will eventually receives a sequel.

	The sixth column beats the fourth column on any day.

	NightOwl:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	8 points
	Sigh. They just don't make them like this anymore.

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 05:03 GMT	1 point
	No, but we can still be thankful for every Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Sean Penn we have.

	Did anyone else recite the lyrics to Madonna's "Vogue" in their head to make sure they got them all? It's how I finally got the last one!

	joshow:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 05:21 GMT	5 points
	I can't believe only 50% got Jimmy Stewart. Shocking.

	Okay, I'll break the ice: Nobody in the history of the world has aged more poorly than Marlon Brando. Seriously, that's the same guy who kissed and sang with Larry King?

	John Wayne kicks so much ass.

	geowiz85:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 06:10 GMT	2 points
	something interesting i thought, the actresses on here share something in common (if you count common law marriages for two of them). they all have had at least 3 marriages

	jmarshallg:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 06:23 GMT	1 point
	I don't think having both Katherine and Audrey Hepburn would be very fun.

	Great quiz. Might be more fun if we had to match the name to the face. I didn't recognize Gary Cooper without a cowboy hat. I knew Harrison was British but kept guessing Niven, Plummer, Howard, etc.

	Missed 4.So annoyed 'cause I recognized them but couldn't remember their names on time!

	Travolta just looks older. Brando looks like a completely different person.

	Side note: If you played the Four Word Movie Review quiz last week, I've added a kind of poll at the bottom of the comments to determine the desire (and theme) of a sequel. We apologize for the interruption. Now back to our regularly scheduled Sporcle.

	@captain: My first instinct was Cary Grant without looking at the photo's. Movie stars where so much better back then.

	chrispaz:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 13:39 GMT	6 points
	Agree with MovieDynamic - Ronald Reagan, a classic actor? He is so out of his depth on this list it's ridiculous. Obviously a lot of more deserving names have already been mentioned so I won't go into that. Definitely should be a sequel though.

	estivator:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 13:48 GMT	-1 points
	A list without Cary Grant is - well, an incomplete list. I instinctively typed his name first without even looking at the images.

	LTH:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 13:54 GMT	3 points
	No one's mentioned Edward G. Robinson or Peter Lorre, but I'd love to see them in the next one

	"Ronald Reagan? The actor? Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady? And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!" -Doc Brown

	Missed Lana Turner, only because she's completely unrecognizable in that picture. I was tempted to type "Angela Landsbury" but I knew that would be wrong.

	btroup1:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 14:08 GMT	2 points
	Look guys. We'd always get 100% if every quiz just had the answers that we wanted to see.

	@Wendy: I did the same thing with Hepburn--only I didn't get the one I was thinking of.
