	PLEASE accept Philosopher's Stone

	jaymc:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 20:24 GMT		4 points
	I actually tried "Who's Harry Crumb and Punishment."

	agstilp:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 20:36 GMT		25 points
	If you make it an 1980 Candy/Belushi film and an 1880 Dostoevsky novel, you get The Blues Brothers Karamazov.

	Seconding Beanz57, Philosopher's Stone is the name of the book.

	Charlie's Angels and Demons sounds like a biography of a man with schizophrenia

	Meltha:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 23:07 GMT		16 points
	"The Truth about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" sounds like the title of a tell-all revenge biography by Augustus Gloop.

	A number of these sound like great film ideas. Major League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Classic literary characters form a baseball team and scrap their way to the World Series. Soylent Green Eggs and Ham - Dr. Seuss' darkest work brought to life on the big screen. The Rum Diary of a Mad Black Woman - Tyler Perry's secondary personality finally takes over after he is trapped on a desert isle with nothing but rum and local flora and fauna. I could go on and on, but I have already given too many away as it is.

	The Stephen Hawking book is "A Brief History of Time" and not "Brief History of Time" as the answer would have it. Also, please accept Philosophers Stone. It cost me about 25 seconds of typing it and then looking for a spelling error when it wasn't accepted.

	SeriuosUsurious:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 01:36 GMT		5 points
	HST wrote Rum Diaries back in the 60s. So "1998 fiction novel" is misleading. "HST novel published in 1998" would be clearer. And all novels are fiction, so the phrase "fiction novel" is silly.

	There seems to be many mistakes in this quiz ...

	alistardragon:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 03:39 GMT		8 points
	Mewkam1: I agree, however I am a little worried at the prospect of 'Dirty Harry Potter'.

	Kitimat88:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 05:43 GMT		12 points
	Seriously, fix the Potter title. I'm not going in to the whole debate about which is 'right', but you have definitely got to accept both.

	juviejay:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 06:12 GMT		1 point
	How about just drop the whole title and accept Harry Potter? I thought I did pretty good just to get that much. But no, I had to try to figure out which of the four or five or six or seven different titles you were asking for--having never read any of the books and only seeing one of the movies. Sorry, just never got caught up in the craze.

	AHK:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 14:26 GMT		7 points
	That is a serious, SERIOUS boner not accepting Philosopher's Stone.

	Derek_Agony:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 21:48 GMT		-2 points
	The Zac Efron film is called "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud".

	Tahnan:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 20:13 GMT		1 point
	Derek_Agony, the film is apparently called that in some places (and that should be accepted as an alternate answer), but in its primary release the book's title was shortened to just "Charlie St. Cloud". This wasn't a bad quiz, though I wish it didn't play quite so loose with the articles (in A Brief History..., The League..., and The Life Aquatic...; possibly others?).

	lyss027:	Jun 6th, 2011 at 04:57 GMT		-2 points
	i typed in "dirty harry potter and the sorceror's stone" and it wouldn't accept it...

	livfred:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 00:33 GMT		1 point
	@lyss027: ...sorcerer...would have worked.

	thunderdan:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 13:09 GMT		1 point
	as it is a published quiz, i can't make any changes but i'm sure the editors will take care of my mistakes. but thanks for the comments.

	stugenvier:	Jun 17th, 2011 at 04:27 GMT		3 points
	@AHK, please never ever ever again use the phrase "serious boner" on the internet. Just don't. Trust me.

	feste26:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 06:26 GMT		3 points
	I have a weary suspicion that the reason for the excellent, funny quiz being rated so low is because THAT many people were upset about the Harry Potter question. While I realize it would have been better for thunderdan to pick ANY of the others in the series, or accept both titles, if you're a halfway Harry Potter fan, you really should have known to try both anyway. Great quiz, thunderdan.

	stevoreno79:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 03:31 GMT		2 points
	I would definitely read Soylent Green Eggs and Ham.

	stevoreno79:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 03:35 GMT		1 point
	I don't get the low score for this. I love this mquiz better than most of these kind. Some truly funny combos. I say kudos.

	The Purpose Driven Life Aquatic saved me from drowning. Excellent Read.

	eleyezee83:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 15:52 GMT		1 point
	Soylent Green was released in 1973, not 1971

	thunderdan:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 14:20 GMT		2 points
	thanks for the feedback! again since it's published, i can no longer make corrections but i'm glad most of you enjoyed it.
