	Spielberg, James Carmeron, George Lucas, and Peter Jackson own this quiz

	@cjurcyk: Zemeckis too. He has three on the list as well, and probably should have had four, but for some reason Back to the Future wasn't even nominated.

	Incidentally, this reinforces my belief of "wow, the early '80s were the best possible time to be a geeky little kid." All Lucas and Spielberg in their prime, and then look at what the also-rans were from those years: Dragonslayer, Blade Runner, Poltergeist, Ghostbusters ... man, even 2010 is good even if it's not anywhere near the same league as 2001. Tragic oversight of the era, though: The Thing was not nominated.

	Was anyone else like "what's with the sheep?"

	A question: would you rather watch the films from the first 3 rows or the films from the last 3 rows? Curious what people prefer, since there are tons of good movies in both categories.

	BonnieH:	Apr 25th, 2013 at 15:54 GMT		1 point
	I have to say top 3. I own the Star Wars trilogy, Raiders, ET, Jurassic Park, and Forrest Gump (refuse to own Temple of Doom). I can watch most of those over and over and over, with the exception of FG. In the bottom three rows I own Titanic, the LOTR trilogy and Hugo, and Hugo is the only one I can watch endlessly and never get tired or bored with it.

	These special effects are so clear · You'd think we'd all stand up and cheer · But before I holler · I'm down to my last dollar · Cuz ticket prices rise every year

	@deugea: Top 3 rows I'd say. I would rather watch the Star Wars trilogy than LOTR even though I like both. I couldn't sit through Avatar again. Once was enough. Gladiator's good though.

	dlauthor:	Apr 25th, 2013 at 16:31 GMT		5 points
	13 films in the top three rows I'd watch at any time. Six in the bottom three. So yeah, guess it's the top three, LotR notwithstanding.

	@akak907 You're the one with bad taste

	@PDepew2181: The Phantom Menace was completely upstaged by the Matrix. The visual effects blew everyone away even though the sequels made some pretty horrible CGI mistakes. In 2002 and 2005, Weta just ripped the special effects crown of Lucas' head. When you compare Jar Jar to Gollum and King Kong, it's clear which is better done.

	Nice Quiz. I am kicking myself for not getting Forrest Gump, even though I have watched that movie O.O

	shamrock1014:	Apr 25th, 2013 at 20:43 GMT		4 points
	Tired of all the movies that have the extra title (i.e. Lord of the Rings)

	RonB:	Apr 25th, 2013 at 21:05 GMT		4 points
	Inner Space. Long time since I've seen a reference to that one!

	WeaselKing1000:	Apr 25th, 2013 at 21:39 GMT		1 point
	Kicking myself for not putting 'Innerspace'. Thought it might be that but somehow convinced myself it wasn't a high-profile enough film.

	chronosaurus:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 01:21 GMT		2 points
	I love how Jurassic Park looks more real than almost every single winner after it

	stormymac:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 01:28 GMT		2 points
	I'm sorry, but I will never forgive the Academy for voting for a meow mix commercial (Babe) over Apollo 13.

	drn211:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 02:11 GMT		5 points
	@cjurcyk: Forget the directors, It's ILM that owns this list. The did the visual effects on 19 of these.

	beccalise:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 02:21 GMT		0 points
	Got them all, yay! My husband had to help me with Innerspace and Cocoon, shhh!

	@dlauthor Back to the Future Part II did get nominated for Best Visual Effects. Unfortunately, it had to go up against The Abyss.

	Tanner3:	Apr 26th, 2013 at 05:46 GMT		1 point
	Forrest Gump, Gladiator, ET, and maybe even Temple of Doom (were there that many VFX shots in that?). If you made an FX heavy film in those years, you got screwed.

	randomguess:	Apr 27th, 2013 at 20:07 GMT		-1 points
	IMO, the most wrong choices in that list are Hugo (over Rise of the Planet of the Apes or Transformers: Dark of the Moon), Golden Compass (over Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End or Transformers) and Spider-Man 2 (over anything else, like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or The Day After Tomorrow or House of Flying Daggers or I, Robot). I also think it's a shame that The Impossible wasn't even nominated this year, even though it had some of the best visual effects in any movie I've ever seen.

	The instructions say "You have to enter the specific film's name.", yet "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" is not accepted with "episode v" (or "episode 5") included in between even though it's part of the name.
