Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #223: Stockings Stuffed to the Brim with Glee [LauraGrace puts a bow on RARE EXPORTS]


Seasons greetings, players. Take a guess on what I've gift wrapped for you this time.

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: Dolores Claiborne (1995) - English language in common.
Hint 2: Love Story (1970) - Runtime 100 minutes or less.
Hint 3: Definitely, Maybe (2008) - Lead actor has co-starred as a lead in another movie opposite Samuel L. Jackson.
Hint 4: Soldier - (1998) - Aspect ratio 2.35:1
Hint 5: Stretch (2014) - IMDB rating between 6.5 and 7.5.
Hint 6: Shattered Glass (2003) - Metascore over 70.
Hint 7: Escape from New York (1981) - RT score in the 80s.
Hint 8: The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - Filmed outside the US.
Hint 9: Beakdown (1997) - Plot keywords: 'rifle' and 'shotgun'.

Still a contender to be reckoned with, LauraGrace dives into the nutty depths of my fruitcake and uncovers Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010). Even compared to other horror-tinged Christmas films, you won't find anything else like it.

Rare Exports:A Christmas Tale (2010)

reply

Look at who just dropped down the chimney!

From the snowy mountains in Finland, Rare Exports offers a unique take on the Santa mythos. Creepy yet charming, this refreshingly goofy film serves up some inspired story developments while still remaining true to the spirit of the holidays. A word of caution, though: this film is rated R for a reason, as it contains slightly more full-on decrepit filthy old man nudity than most Christmas capers. It's one of many bizarre touches that set this pick apart from the more notable holiday fare.

Take a swig of egg nog, Laura. You've earned it.

interesting pick!

I downloaded this from iTunes a while ago, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I'll have to watch it soon!

It's also available on Amazon Prime, though I'm not sure on regional availability.

I'll have to give it a shot. Good game!
