🎥 StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2390 NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959), FredBurroughs has been identified!


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie and Video. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints and 15 incorrect guesses the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY
- Post one Hint at a time.

Inspector Gadget (1999)

reply

Hint added.

Inspector Gadget had a $90 million budget; grossed 21.9 mil the opening weekend in 1999.

reply

Back to Black (2024)

reply

Hint added.

I've heard the name Amy Winehouse, but know almost nothing about her or her music or whatever. Apparently a lot of her fans will not see this movie, because her father was apparently involved in making it.

reply

Manjummel Boys (2024)

reply

Hint added.

This Indian film did play in a theater near me for a few weeks, but I did not see it.

reply

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

reply

Hint added.

It has been rerun in 2000+ theaters for three weeks. The attendance dropped 89% this past weekend. They drew over 26 people in one show near me, per online reservations. They'd been averaging 5 people during the late weekly shows.

The kid was too young for Natalie Portman's character. A three-film origin story for a major villain seemed ill advised to me.

The Message (1976)

reply

Hint added.

Did not meet Hints #1 or #4, but I gave you a useful hint anyway.

reply

imdb says action, adventure, biography?

reply

Mine says Biography, Drama, History, War.

There are two films by the same name, both in 1976! Same director and writers, but they added Anthony Quinn to the cast and got an Oscar nomination. I did not notice before.

reply

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

reply

Hint added. this narrows it down to 23 or fewer movies.

AMC theaters is re-releasing the Tom Holland trio of Spider-Man films, Monday-Thursday for $5 plus tax, starting this week. The FX channel was airing them yesterday and today.

The Tobey Maguire trilogy and the two by Andrew Garfield were near sellouts, in bigger theaters, at the first two AMC shows Monday-Wednesdays,
