	Harder than I thought it'd be. But pretty interesting topic

	apologies for committing the grave sporcle sin of suggesting an extra answer... 'on the waterfront'?

	Brilliantly challenging. Thanks Ben!!

	I totally misunderstood this quiz as I was trying to think of movies with actual bodies of water in the names such as "Pirates of the Caribbean," "South Pacific," and "Death on the Nile".

	DaMiz511:	May 5th, 2009 at 17:21 GMT	42 points
	umm, last time I checked, the word "water" wasn't the name of a body of water. just saying.

	Thalia:	May 5th, 2009 at 17:32 GMT	4 points
	There are enough movies with actual bodies of water to not have "water" count as one. For example, movies like "Beyond the Sea," "The Deep End of the Ocean," and "Pearl Harbor" could have been included instead.

	Escaho:	May 5th, 2009 at 17:36 GMT	14 points
	I even tried "Seabiscuit" and was amazed it wasn't an answer.

	great quiz! I really enjoyed this one thanks!

	I kept thinking rain man should be on it, but then I realized that it is body of water and not precipitation. I need to go back to middle school earth science.

	Escaho that is a brilliant one, shame they missed it. Weird how many lake movies there are in just 2 years!

	RyanUR:	May 5th, 2009 at 18:10 GMT	8 points
	@montecarlo: That movie could have been a contender to be on this list.

	dsee:	May 5th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT	2 points
	how about waterhorse, legend of the deep

	livfred:	May 5th, 2009 at 19:19 GMT	3 points
	This was great! I really enjoyed it, although I missed the second Kirk Douglas film because I always just think of it as a Tom Burlinson film. :o( I agree -- another quiz of movies with actual bodies of water in the title (Pacific, Atlantic, etc.) would also be fun.

	GreySector:	May 5th, 2009 at 20:07 GMT	2 points
	If you are going to have Waterworld as an answer, you should probably have The Weight of Water as an answer as well.

	Dubliner :	May 5th, 2009 at 20:49 GMT	1 point
	What about 'Water ' with Micheal Caine , Billy Connolly and Leonard Rossiter all poncing around on a Caribbean island in the middle of a coup d'etat ?

	Camden:	May 5th, 2009 at 21:12 GMT	3 points
	"The Deep End of the Ocean" - Michelle Pheifer(sp?)

	Thought for sure that Wide Sargasso Sea would make it and I was just spelling it wrong...

	Dutch:	May 5th, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	4 points
	"Up the Creek" with Tim Matheson is an all time classic...wait...is a creek a body of water? Does any movie with Tim Matheson count as a classic? Never mind, I withdraw my comment ;).

	Iceberg:	May 5th, 2009 at 21:51 GMT	2 points
	The Abyss? The Fountain? (Hey, it's as much a body of water as "water")

	donruss:	May 6th, 2009 at 01:24 GMT	6 points
	The Waterboy is NOT a body of water. I will mention a classic called "Creature from the black lagoon" however.

	organicearthmama:	May 6th, 2009 at 01:41 GMT	2 points
	For the kirk douglas film I kept trying Cape Fear. I couldn't figure out why it didn't work. I can't believe I missed the two correct ones. Sheeesh.

	YankeesJets2310:	May 6th, 2009 at 04:03 GMT	3 points
	Animal House features Tim Matheson and it is definitely a classic. How about The River with Mel Gibson?

	mokos:	May 6th, 2009 at 04:20 GMT	1 point
	Although it has already been commented on several times, I have to chime in. Water is a body of water?

	Dutch:	May 6th, 2009 at 08:34 GMT	2 points
	@YankeesJets2310 I stand corrected. I was being silly when I typed that. And I too typed in "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and was suprised it didn't pop up...however, that movie triggered "Swamp Thing" in my over-sporcled little brain.

	Dont mean to beat a dead horse but "water" is not a body of water

	Catherine_F:	May 6th, 2009 at 11:22 GMT	8 points
	Water IS a body of water - well it can be. I can think of several lakes (in England) that are named "Water" instead of lake, Derwent Water (Cumbria) and Virginia Water (Surrey) are a couple of well known ones.

	Ribhump:	May 6th, 2009 at 11:23 GMT	3 points
	no creeks there, missed opportunity. Wolf Creek was good fun. Plus, Watership Down surely, for the kids :S

	HalfWelsh:	May 6th, 2009 at 14:10 GMT	4 points
	No taxi driver?!! Geddit?!

	Statto2:	May 6th, 2009 at 19:48 GMT	0 points
	I'm shocked how few people got "Reservoir Dogs". Surely one of the iconic movies of the 90s.

	chambers:	May 7th, 2009 at 11:23 GMT	-2 points
	turprisingly tough. got oceans eleven though!

	chikka2:	May 10th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT	1 point
	@halfwelsh..it's a stretch, but kinda cute. Helped to say it aloud

	Chumley:	May 13th, 2009 at 17:29 GMT	1 point
	@Ribhump--There is a creek in there. One of the All time spectacularly awful movies, "Cold Creek Manor"

	ifreebasetrivia:	Jun 9th, 2009 at 08:09 GMT	1 point
	Although, I agree the misuse of "water" as a body of water dampens the quality of this quiz (no pun intended), the most egregious error here is the inclusion of so many terrible movies including Lakeview Terrace, Dark Water, and The Lake House.

	how are these bodies of water?

	brothrslim:	Sep 2nd, 2010 at 18:50 GMT	1 point
	Would have been 5 balls, but had to mark down for a lot of the answers not fitting the title. Still gave it a 4 rating.

	Kiss:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 22:15 GMT	1 point
	for the clue for oceans eleven I would have put brad pitt instead of george clooney
