	Hard to judge the time needed on this one, but I'm starting at 15 minutes and hoping it's enough.

	Fred Zinnemann, not Zimmerman.

	The King and I did not win best picture in 1956 - Around the World in 80 Days, directed by Michael Anderson, did. And Cimarron won in 1931, not 1937.

	It's just Gentleman's Agreement, there's no A before it. For the display answer, it's also The Godfather Part II, not part 2.

	THank you, johnlk, tk925, for catching those embarrassing errors!

	Tahnan:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 19:35 GMT		1 point
	Also, "Minghella" and "Levinson". (It was the misspelling in "Levinson" that made me forget Rain Main. Yeah. That's totally it.)

	Thanks, Tah. Get back to work. :)

	Wow. Tough but fun...

	FilmJunkie:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 03:07 GMT		1 point
	I think the quiz would be better if there was no year, because that way it would be guessing them only by director.

	gnatural:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 13:41 GMT		1 point
	Thanks, FilmJunkie. I included the year partly to help clue the film, but also to help organize answers where one director made several films on the list.
