Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #205 [Empire of the Sun (1987), guessed by StoneKeeper]
The rules:
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.
- Movie must have at least 3500 votes on IMDb.
Let's get it on!
Hint 1: Training Day (2001) - Runtime at least two hours.
Hint 2: Dark Star (1974) - Metascore in the 60s.
Hint 3: Apocalypto (2006) - IMDb rating 7.5 to 8.5.
Hint 4: Doctor Zhivago (1965) - Shares the war genre.
Hint 5: Braveheart (1995) - The director has won at least one Oscar in their career.
Hint 6: Henry V (1989) - Based on previously written material.
Hint 7: Les Misérables (2012) - Setting is outside of the Americas.
Hint 8: Grave of the Fireflies (1988) - Made in the 1980s.
StoneKeeper wins with Empire of the Sun (1987), an excellent movie starring a young Christian Bale, about a British boy who gets stranded in China during the Japanese occupation in World War II.
