Top Movies on IMDB

This quiz contains all movies on IMDB that have a rating of 8.0 or better. There are 244 as of 9/20/2013. The hint contains the title's initials. All special characters have been converted to the closest letter on the standard English alphabet, but otherwise all titles must be spelled exactly as they appear on the list. So... "Empire Strikes Back" isn't gonna work - it'll have to be the official title: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Similarly, foreign titles like 'Seven Samurai' must be entered in the original Japanese (again, exactly as it appears on IMDB). I'll throw you another bone... the quiz is in chronological order, oldest first. You might have better luck starting from the end.

You might warn us that those movies shot in languages other than English are not translated. I might have gotten Shichinin no samurai and a few others that way. But thanks for the entertaining quiz.
