Stonekeeper's Autumn Game:I recommend this Mystery Movie #150 [1941 (1979)]

The usual rules apply:

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.

Dive in

Hint 1: Swimming Pool (2003) fewer than 40000 votes on IMDB
Hint 2: Gandhi (1982) Oscar-winning director
Hint 3: Battleship Potemkin (1925) Runtime less than 2 hours
Hint 4: Pacific Heights (1990) IMDB score between 5.5 & 6.5
Hint 5: For Keeps? (1988) Comedy is one of the genres
Hint 6: Shampoo (1975) Events in the film take place in or adjacent to California
Hint 7: Suburbicon (2017) Rotten Tomatoes score 35% or less

To Hollywood... and glory! You got it!

Man, this was a tough one!

Hope it was fun for everyone.
I have a hard time adequately describing this film. 'Big budget comedy spectacular that flopped' is an oversimplification. Makes for another unconventional Christmas movie.

reply

Definitely fun. I enjoy a challenge. Trying to find a dud movie by an Oscar-winning director was an interesting task lol.

reply

It's been a while but IM BACK! Yes!

I watched the traile of this one recently and it looks like a lot of fun.

It wasn't initially well-received at release, but it's become regarded as a silly madcap farce. Not your typical Spielberg outing.
