Stonekeeper's Autumn Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #135 [The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006)]


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 love triangle.

- 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/she gets to start another one.

NEW RULE: Movie must have at least 3500 votes on IMDB.


Hint 1: Cannibal Holocaust (1980) - Movie has under 100,000 votes on IMDb.
Hint 2: Audition (1999) - IMDb rating between 6.0 and 8.0.
Hint 3: Bullit (1968) - Director was born in the UK.
Hint 4: Halloween (2018) - Shared plot keyword: "shot in the head".
Hint 5: You Were Never Really Here (2017) - Metascore over 80.
Hint 6: The Death of Stalin (2017) - Setting is in Europe.

SkyCoyote grabs a surprise win with "The Wind that Shakes the Barley", an excellent movie about the Irish national liberation struggle.

The guesses seem to be drying up already lol. I went and took a shower, came back and there were still no new guesses (before Stonekeeper joined in). I probably could have done better with one or two of the hints, but in my defense, most of the guesses have been pretty wide of the mark so it's been tough to find commonalities lol.

You've assembled a chain of good hints that don't all lend themselves well to any automated filtering. So far, finding films that fit all the criteria has been like looking for hen's teeth in an ocean. I like a good challenge. You're doing fine.

reply

Ah, I'm glad to hear that! It can be tough to strike the right balance and avoid making it either too easy or too vague.

Wow, you... you got it! Lol. I thought I was just starting to narrow it down with "setting in Europe", and that it was going to take three or four more hints. But you got it! Congrats!

Thanks. Sometimes the 'luck' & 'stubborn' curves cross.

reply

haha true dat!

Good one Sky
