	Did you put Kevin Costner on here to show how his movies haven't made any money since the 90s.

	voljtw:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	-2 points
	Hard...for most of these people their best movies are nowhere near the top...I only got them all for Dicaprio and Will Smith...got 0 for Denzel and Nicole Kidman.

	i typed in every batman movie hoping to catch clooney, carrey, and kidman along with nicholson

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	33 points
	Damn, Robert DeNiro. For such a talented actor it's an absolute shame what his three highest grossing movies are. Get a clue, populous.

	bmo1616:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 04:43 GMT	11 points
	@MovieDynamic, don't blame the public, blame the economy. The only reason DeNiro's highest grossing films are from 2000 on is because the prices are higher than in the 70's and 80's, and that goes for all the people here. And I can't believe Bruce Almighty is already 6 years old, wow time flies.

	Inflation adjusted grosses would be interesting too. The list for some of these actors would look a lot different if done that way since without the adjustment it skews towards almost all new movies. De Niro would certainly look a LOT different. Also - lame, lame, lame to include voice parts for some of the actors/actresses. I understand why it's done, but it's still lame. I was kicking myself for quite a while trying to figure what in the world Reese Witherspoon had been in this year that topped the Legally Blond movies.

	@Jalapeno: Do you purposely try to get negative comments? Becaue if you do, then you do a superb job.

	shamrock:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	12 points
	quite surprised 'remember the titans' isn't on here. also...any movie in which dicaprio's character dies is expected to be one of his higher grossing movies; however, also surprised that 'gangs of new york' wasn't on here as well

	JoeyV:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 04:59 GMT	9 points
	Great quiz. Maybe in the future we can get some with more actors/actresses and maybe even directors top 3?

	Chumley:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 05:07 GMT	1 point
	This just goes to show that popular doesn't necessarily equate to quality. DeNiro is a prime example. {and not just for adjusted gross. Those are BAD movies [especially his highest grosser (one of the worst movies ever!!!)]}

	MRD:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 05:31 GMT	8 points
	Goodfellas is a much much better movie than any of DeNiro's highest grossing...sad.

	Jaspers:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 05:37 GMT	5 points
	Let this quiz prove: box office numbers do not equal success.

	danzam:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 05:40 GMT	0 points
	A lot of great movies like Goodfellas and Taxi Driver didn't catch on to the public until after they were released on VHS For movies like that the DVD/VHS/Blu-Ray sales far eclipsed their theater totals which is more indicative of the movie's success.

	I hope inflation adjusted lists would look different, because this was just plain depressing.

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 06:08 GMT	1 point
	Er, I don't see how that makes any sense, deej. Although admittedly I did only get one: "The Golden Compass." But declaring "cheating" is ridiculous.

	kaiteng:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 06:10 GMT	5 points
	What's the deal with Steep's AI. She only did voice-over for about 10 minutes.

	mungar:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 06:17 GMT	3 points
	wow, surprised at how low Happy Feet and AI were. I forgot to write "Dr. Seuss'" for Carrey, boo-urns.

	fatbeard:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 06:33 GMT	3 points
	I'd love to see some older actors in the future, and someone said directors, which would be really interesting. Either way, great concept and great quiz!

	JohnJF:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 06:36 GMT	1 point
	Robert De Niro, I believe, has been in four movies in AFI's Top 100, all of which deserved to be on the list (and extremely high on it at that): The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas. His three highest grossing movies were Meet the Fockers, Shark Tale, and Meet the Parents. I understand that inflation factors in, but still?

	Pistol:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 08:09 GMT	1 point
	Great concept for a quiz. More like this please.

	lulubelles:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 09:56 GMT	2 points
	I got oceans eleven but didnt bother trying twelve, what an idiot! My favourite DeNiro movie is Sleepers, just for the scene where he's being told about the abuse. You see nothing but his face but the emotion in it is amazing.

	RC_Cola:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 10:40 GMT	1 point
	Wow, just wow.

	ArtVandaley:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 11:32 GMT	2 points
	@deej I got one because I guessed it for jim carrey

	JoeGrzzly:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 12:00 GMT	-4 points
	The only reson I didn't gues Silence of the lambs was because I thought it was way older than '91. I feel so ashamed.

	ted:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 12:09 GMT	0 points
	I am shocked, shocked that Waterworld didn't make it in Costner's top three.

	zalagreensbury:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 13:13 GMT	0 points
	Jack Nicholson is a pimp, plain and simple.

	cmkeller:	Jul 6th, 2009 at 13:31 GMT	9 points
	"Grinch" should really be enough to get credit for that third Jim Carrey answer.

	deej: I got "Batman Forever" for Nicole Kidman by guessing it for Jim Carrey. (Does that count as cheating.)

	not a bad quiz idea
