	The only one that really surprises me is the religious one. I guess it makes sense, but it doesn't really fit with the rest of the movies on the list.

	josette:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 17:45 GMT	13 points
	Why does numbering the movies work for things such as Pirates, but not for Potter?

	Rose:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 17:53 GMT	6 points
	where's the fifth HP movie??

	Great quiz, the naming messed me up with the Harry Potter films though. Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, X Men 2, and X Men 3 are accepted but Harry Potter 1-4 are not and the only Potter movie I typed in the full title for was Order of the Phoenix. The HP movies are almost never labeled with numbers though (certainly not as often as the others) so that's my own fault :-P

	Nelroy:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 18:15 GMT	8 points
	You disappoint me greatly, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

	sevorak:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 18:26 GMT	7 points
	Why isn't The Matrix 2 acceptable?

	Kicking222:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 18:29 GMT	2 points
	Loved it. Missed two, but I'm actually upset about not getting all of them. Almost forgot about the "Pirates" films... but to be fair, they stunk.

	Aquaman for a bonus! Lol. I couldn't remember the exact name of the HP movies. Nice quiz.

	@ Avi : I guess I haven't seen it which is why I don't know which movie you're talking about? Care to enlighten me?

	frey553:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 18:51 GMT	6 points
	@DRB: If I had to guess, he's referring to Passion of the Christ. Oh and while we're at it, why don't we remove all the Potter films, satanistic witchcraft so popular?!? just goes to show... :-P

	Cheeseknight:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 18:54 GMT	2 points
	Harry Potter 1 should give Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

	tcalleen:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	12 points
	Does anyone else think that Hollywood is getting a little carried away with these novel-length titles?

	Tim_Allen:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:06 GMT	9 points
	@Avi: Admist all your ranting and raving is a valid argument about the movie, but I would bet that most people will overlook the argument, and focus on the ranting. Just an FYI.

	vogz:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:16 GMT	4 points
	wow...the only ones i missed were stars wars...slaps self in face

	robclarke:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	14 points
	Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone should count

	retsyn:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:23 GMT	-1 points
	i saw 7 and 19 on opening weekend... i still haven't seen a vast majority of them. i got 0 out of 20 because they didn't accept star wars episode ii/iii

	Tank:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 19:32 GMT	8 points
	Nice Quiz, 20/20. I thought that Titanic or the first Matrix would be on there, though.

	Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released on a Wednesday (7/11/07) instead of the typical Friday. It's opening weekend (Fri-Sun) gross was $77,108,414 (which would put it at #22).

	@slew - Action adventure movies typically have a big opening weekend and drop off over the next few weeks. Critically acclaimed movies don't have a big opener but they build an audience over time and can make their money that way. The problem with movies and TV now is that the executives don't give them the chance to build an audience. The money men are looking for instant gratification.

	@frey553 - I was assuming he was talking about the Indiana Jones movie. I know one of the old ones had something to do with Nazis, but I haven't seen the newest one so I'm not sure about it.

	Hungover:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 21:45 GMT	-2 points
	i did not do very good, but i'm also not a nerd

	jzev:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 21:52 GMT	4 points
	I can't believe I contributed to Attack of the Clones being up there. I want my 9 bucks back

	Rackie:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	0 points
	I'm just lazy - I presumed that the numbers would be allowed on Harry Potter and gave up when they weren't! My bad... Good quiz though.

	DerKomissar:	Mar 3rd, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	3 points
	I was shocked to see that Titanic wasn't on here.

	JulieD:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 00:07 GMT	1 point
	Argh. Seeing that Star Wars Episode I wasn't an answer, it didn't occur to me to try episodes II and III. Episode I was quite expected, after all, and left many disappointed...

	smillerakalilnoz:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 00:15 GMT	-1 points
	I got 12/20. I would have gotten the Harry Potter movies but I forgot which one was which. The Dark Knight and Spiderman 2 are the best superhero movies of all time.

	smillerakalilnoz:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 00:17 GMT	10 points
	Also surprised that none of the Lord of the Ring movies are up here.

	jawa88:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 01:50 GMT	3 points
	This quiz should take inflation into account. It costs a lot more now to go to the movies than it used to.

	drza:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 01:59 GMT	0 points
	The only movie I saw out of these was the passion of christ and dont tell Mel Gibson but I didnt like it. I think sporcle should recognize that certain people only play every game because theyre addicted to them and when they type in star wars prequels all 3 answers should've popped up. When i typed in Harry Potter I should've got all of them as well...in fact the only answer I got before I gave up was the top one. The reason I gave up...Simpsons movie didnt show up no matter how many exclamation points I put at the end of it

	loki1983:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 02:37 GMT	2 points
	The list is meaningless without INFLATION taken into account. Please use the Box Office Mojo "adjusted for inflation" chart, not this. Openings like "The Lost World" (1997) would be near the top of this list. It's telling that the list is entirely consisting of post-2000 movies.

	zalagreensbury:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 02:46 GMT	2 points
	I don't understand why people are shocked that 'Titanic' isn't up there; most of the reason why it was so successful was because it opened up modestly but slowly but surely everyone on the face of the planet went and saw that movie...over and over again.

	AKDforlife:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 03:06 GMT	2 points
	BelowZero: I tried Aquaman first. It should be a bonus. I'm sure there are other Entourage fans.

	MovieDynamic:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 03:12 GMT	1 point
	Why does Spider-Man 3 not have a dash in it, but the other two do? Continuity, Sporcle. Continuity.

	JoeGrzzly:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 10:37 GMT	1 point
	@jawa there is a quiz that takes into account inflation, it has been on here before. This quiz purposely does not include inflation, which is why later films are on the higher end, and there is nothing from before 2000.
