	I've only appreciated Vin Diesel in two movies: Saving Private Ryan and The Iron Giant. Regardless, you're a genius Ben. Keep up the good quizzes!

	the L movie is spelled wrong.

	NATO should use this list instead of boring old alpha, bravo, charlie...

	Klingsta:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 18:36 GMT	6 points
	great, fun quiz.

	Monoclinic:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT	-2 points
	David Bowie's film is spelt wrong. I also believe Bruce Willis starred in Apocalypse in 1998. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176457/

	The number of times I tried to type in the L movie and was convinced I was right - glad to see I'm not going mad and it's just a misspelling!

	Shaft41:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 18:46 GMT	2 points
	I tried the L one about 5 different ways, and was thinking I was nuts, since I was sure I knew it. Now I see it was spelled wrong, so I don't feel so bad. I only missed the A one, which I'm fine with, since I tried to erase that movie from my memory as soon as I finished watching it. Great, great quiz. A lot of fun.

	yep - l has a typo in the answer. great quiz.

	dashoff:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 18:53 GMT	10 points
	I kept thinking up one-word movies for the actors that weren't the right letter (Unbreakable for Willis, Palmetto for Harrelson, Sphere for Hoffman). A very frustrating, but fun, quiz. Nice job!

	zigra:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 18:57 GMT	2 points
	Patrick Dempsey is two Sporcle quizzes today! That has got to be a sign of some sort. And as Diane said, I kept getting hung up on mismatching the clues and the letters - for me the big hangup with Demi Moore in Striptease. Fun quiz, Ben.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT	7 points
	I missed the Dennis Quaid one because I thought it was 2 words and the Eddie Murphy one because I thought it was 'bert' instead of 'bit.' Great quiz. I want a sequel - lots more one word movies out there. :)

	CarpeDiem:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT	4 points
	Ben, KUDOS, once again. :-) Awesome concept!

	buiksloot:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:18 GMT	9 points
	Kate Winslet shut out of the clues for both Quills and Titanic! Ben = Meryl?

	mjenks:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:40 GMT	11 points
	I think Amy Adams should be the clue for E, but then, I'm biased.

	Does Bill Murray win for Most One-Word Movies? Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Hamlet, Kingpin, Meatballs, Rushmore, Scrooged/Stripes, Tootsie

	klogg:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT	7 points
	@ davidr: Sure, but I'd probably leave it at just that. I think the Bible would be taken less seriously if god was all like, "My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Armageddon and the Zoolander, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

	klogg:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:58 GMT	16 points
	Actually, in retrospect, the NATO idea might not be a good move, either: "I repeat--we have a NORBIT-level security breach!"

	melissa:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 19:58 GMT	5 points
	Fun idea, Ben -- thanks! I much preferred this to the "name all the so-and-so movies" format. I must have typed in "Rambo" five times for Stallone, though -- it was driving me crazy -- though I guess the year is what makes the real answer right. It's so hard to think of anything else once you're convinced you have the "right answer", though...

	Should I be proud that I got Meatballs?

	Was anyone else hoping Zardoz would be at the end? Nope? I guess that's just me...

	Great idea for a quiz. I'm sure the guy whose job it is to put the individual letters on the marquis at the movie theater appreciates you highlighing all these one word movies!

	Booger:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 21:44 GMT	3 points
	Fun quiz Ben! Ironically, I have a quiz that's been in the queue for a while called World Leaders A to Z. I see a trend!

	davidr:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:06 GMT	3 points
	I'd do `Letters of the Roman Alphabet, A to Z' but people would just accuse me of jumping on the bandwaggon.

	Statto2:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:11 GMT	-3 points
	Strictly speaking surely "xXx" is more than one word I've always heard it described as "Triple X". On the other hand I challenge anyone to come up with a truly one letter film title beginning with X.

	Booger:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:29 GMT	2 points
	@Statto: There is an old movie called "X"

	lulubelles:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:36 GMT	6 points
	@statto theres a 1992 film called xavier, or a 2005 film called xtacy

	mungar:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:39 GMT	5 points
	lol, I was so hoping you'd put Ishtar in for the I.

	Zalx:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 22:44 GMT	11 points
	@statto - Olivia Newton John was in a film version of Xanadu as well (disclaimer - my mind may have completely invented this fact)

	fatbeard:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 23:01 GMT	3 points
	@statto while the movie is often referred to as Triple X, technically the title is xXx. This might not be commonly known simply because no one wants to try to pronounce how that would sound

	Lean:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 23:16 GMT	1 point
	Somehow I got Quills, then blanked on Jaws.

	Emily_Howard:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 23:33 GMT	-3 points
	Fun quiz, but I didn't do good. Somehow I guessed the Y-one... not sure how I feel about that. Oh, and I was certain that the L movie was called Leprechaun, and that I was spelling it wrong... Bowie did play a leprechaun king in the movie didn't he?

	zigra:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 23:33 GMT	5 points
	@Zalx: Your mind did not invent Xanadu - it is a legitimate film. Well, maybe not "legitimate"...
