	Thanks, Sporcle, for allowing me to prove to myself that I have officially blocked "Armageddon" out of my mind.

	I got a lot of correct answers from guessing movies that another actor on this list was in.

	I didn't realize the Pitt-Jolie movie did more box office than Oceans 12 & 13. Fun quiz.

	JohnJF:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 08:48 GMT	7 points
	@voljtw: Raising Arizona didn't make much money at the box office, as movies with that level of wit and originality tend to fare poorly in theaters. Which is why Nicolas Cage decided to make movies like, well, the ones on this quiz.

	i know driving miss daisy was a while ago, but i stillthought it would be up here, considering its basically his, and one of hollywoods, best achievements.

Yeah I know...its a cult classic...in a just and right world however, it would be her highest grossing film...plus this quiz tends to favor more modern movies since ticket prices are so much higher now.

	According to www.the-numbers.com, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, should be on the list for Holly Hunter, not Always. It (barely) outgrossed it both internationally and domestically. http://www.the-numbers.com/people/HHNTR.php

	On the results page it gave me credit for guessing the Sixth Sense when I most definitely did not guess it on the quiz.

	Fatbeard: Try www.the-numbers.com Tropic Thunder comes in 18th for Cruise.

	Ok, who else typed in top gun for Tom Cruise and got it for Meg Ryan?

	ATQ:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 09:19 GMT	10 points
	Nick Cage has some pretty bad movies. He and Kevin Costner should be the inaugural members of the crap movie hall of fame.

	Could we have a quiz for which movie sold most tickets? Grosses are going to be increasing as the ticket prices go up, giving the many doggy dirtbag movies a patina they do not deserve.

	Gordo:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 09:51 GMT	3 points
	Using international grosses makes this significantly harder.

	danzam:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 09:53 GMT	1 point
	@steeltown Internet piracy and Blu-Ray/DVD rentals and sales take away from ticket sales now more than ever. How would you account for that?

	Die Hard 4 should count as Live Free Or Die Hard.

	IHateRegistering:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 10:52 GMT	2 points
	@danzam yea but world population is also increasing.

	joshow:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 11:49 GMT	2 points
	great quiz, but could've used a little more time

	Hen1:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 12:11 GMT	5 points
	A correction: Morgan Freeman was in War of the Worlds (Narrator), which grossed much more than either Bruce Almighty or Robin Hood.

	davebesag:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 13:37 GMT	11 points
	The fourth Die Hard film was realised as Die Hard 4.0 outside North America. I wondered why I'd never heard of the answer here.

	did robin hood prince of thieves really outgross batman begins? I find that damn near impossible to believe

	devonportney:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT	2 points
	How can you justify calling Top Gun a Meg Ryan movie? She's on screen for 2 minutes! A bit of a stretch, don't you think?

	Jenzy:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 19:17 GMT	0 points
	@cedwards90... Good to know I'm not the only one who tried that. And I think the reason that Mr. & Mrs. Smith made some much money is from all the drama of his "affair" with Jolie at the time. Which was good thinking on their part because withouth the hype... The movie stunk.

	Chumley:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	3 points
	Jeremy, I had to look it up and they are right. Batman Begins $371,853,783. Robin Hood: Prince of Crap $390,500,000.

	Garipeto:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	-3 points
	@devonportney I couldn't agree more. Same as Bruce Almighty and Dark Knight are hardly "Morgan Freeman" movies. He has a marginal role, but not even close to being the star of either.

	Reed:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 23:08 GMT	1 point
	I was surprised O Brother, Where Art Thou? was not one of Hunter's top 3. I am trying to figure out if I am surprised or not that many of these movies are total c*@p, even from the "I just want a distraction" perspective

	chikka2:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 23:57 GMT	0 points
	I suppose superb professional actors like Hunter and Lee justify "acting" in the big payoff movies knowing that these let them afford to do the ones that really challenge their ability. Or not.

	52% guessed Men in black. But only 39% guess Men in black 2. Isn't that naturally the next thing you guess when you get the first one right?

	how is the shawshank redemption not on freemans list?

	Keonyn:	Aug 28th, 2009 at 07:15 GMT	2 points
	What's wrong with Holly Hunter Camden? She's a talented actress. Besides, what do you want, just the biggest names and people that you know? Just what kind of quiz would that be? This quiz has diversity, actors from all levels known for films of many genres and catering to different crowds. That's what a quiz should be, I'm sorry this meant you might miss one of them.

	Chumley:	Aug 28th, 2009 at 08:34 GMT	1 point
	Because Shawshank Redemption did bad at the box office. I don't know anyone who saw it in the theater. Became a big hit on video and television broadcasts.
