Stonekeeper's Autumn Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #136 The Duellists (1977)

For anyone new to the game:

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.

Let's ride!

Hint 1: Earth (1930) 85-95% Rotten Tomatoes score
Hint 2: Village of the Damned (1960) IMDB score 7.2 to 8.2
Hint 3: Jurassic Park (1993) No fewer than 3 Oscar nominees in the cast
Hint 4: No Country for Old Men (2007) 'Honor' is common to both keyword lists
Hint 5: Mystic River (2003) 2-word title
Hint 6: Captain Phillips (2013) Directors were both born in England, UK

Kawada_Kira carries the day with The Duellists (1977)

Oops. How did I miss that?!

I had a brain-fart and forgot to list the films with the hints a couple times before I noticed. Easy to get in a hurry.

You have the point on this one. Good game.

reply

Cool! This was a good one.

reply

This game or the film? I enjoyed both, but I got a bit hung-up on hint 5; then I figured out how bad I was over-thinking a clue.
I think we're pretty much all getting better at this. If Fred stands still, we might catch up someday. Might, maybe.

If you haven't seen this film, definitely check it out. Ridley Scott's directorial debut and well worth a watch.

The game. I haven't yet seen the film. I definitely will, though. I generally enjoy Ridley Scott's stuff.

Good job! Congrats.

Thanks!
