	So. Difficult.

	Yes, but such fun when you get one! Very original.

	For Hannibal, the only thing that came to my mind was Silence of the Lambs, and that wasn't. But, I did get 8 right. 5 globes.

	Contact is a great film... amazing the same director did Forrest Gump too.

	I would have had four, but I didn't realize answers had to be in order. I think it would be better if you changed it so that the answers weren't forced in order. I'm still giving it 5 globes, though, because I think it's a brilliant idea for a quiz!

	As it turns out, in the vast majority of cases, I cannot name the Best Picture winner based on the next film the director made, but thanks for asking!

	Fun and difficult. Great combination.

	Original idea, fun, hard, let's have a sequel

	@ChicagoRed - I didn't vote your comments down since you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But there was probably a better example of the better follow-up than King Kong to LOTR:ROTK (maybe Flags of Our Fathers is better than the Oscar Winner - debatable). While King Kong wasn't bad, it also wasn't very necessary or groundbreaking. Besides, the Best Picture Oscar was probably more of an acknowledgement of the entire series rather than just the last film and would be more in keeping with Tolkien's vision of the series as one book broken into three parts - I liked the Two Towers more, personally. Only my opinion. P.S. I also liked Road to Perdition more than the Oscar winner (no more spoilers) but that's just me.

	I tended to free associate based on style or type and got several. What I loved was the directors who's next film was completely dissimilar to their oscar winner. A Chorus Line followed what?! Oh yeah, I saw that coming.
