StoneKeeper's Summer Game: Guess a Movie #18 (Jacob's LAdder)

So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a girl being murdered.

- 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, the point goes to the OP and he gets to start another one.

Good Luck!

Hint #1: The Graduate: Leading actor won at least one Oscar in his career.
Hint #2: Fantasia 2000: Imdb rating between 7 and 8
Hint #3: Ocean's Eleven (2001): Country: USA
HInt #4: Mean Streets (1973): Writer won at least one Oscar in his career

Okay, I'll give it a go. Thanks for explaining how this works, since this is the first time I've clicked in. Fair warning: I suck at most games 😂

The Graduate

Hi StoneKeeper :)

My guess is Fantasia 2000.

[–] fabian5003 (63) 6 years ago

Sorry Catbookss. I clicked the wrong reply :P

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

No problem, Fabian, and welcome! I like your movie choice.

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

guess again fabian

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

The key to this game is perseverence. I tell you I came close to discouraging myself a few times and a few others tapped out a few times too.
Just hang in there.

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

Welcome to the game Catbookss! The more the merrier. :)

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

Thanks, Kawada! I've just read through a couple of the other threads, and despite what Stoney said, I don't think hanging in is going to help me do anything but suck at this game 😂

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

Well each thread is different, some are easier than others, depending on the movie and the hint. And you can always look through IMDb for ideas. It's a pretty fun game! It's gotten me way more active on the site than I was before, lol.

I love to have my asian friend around.

(I dont even know if your Asian but even if you aren't you'll still be my asian friend anyway.)

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

No worries I haven't been able to guess one either. In fact most I haven't even heard of.

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

Nice way to learn new movies!

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

Definitely. I've gotten lots of ideas for movies to watch from these threads.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

Mean Streets - 1973

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

You don't make up for your Hints in church. You do it in the streets...

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

Cast Away (2000)

The Conversation (1974)

P.S. You didn't even have the courtesy to ask before stealing my gimmick.

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

I did not ask but I warned you though!

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

Oh and I almost forgot!

Harry Caul will go anywhere to bug a private Hint.

The Rainmaker (1997)

[–] StoneKeeper (27734) 6 years ago

They were totally unqualified to try the Hint of a lifetime... but every underdog has his day.
