Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #227 [The Firm (1993), guessed by StoneKeeper]


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.


Hint 1: Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) - Over two hours in length.
Hint 2: The Last Emperor (1987) - Made between 1980 and 2000.
Hint 3: Gigli (2003) - Rated R by the MPAA.
Hint 4: Die Hard (1988) - Shares the thriller genre.
Hint 5: A Time to Kill (1996) - Based on a novel.
Hint 6: Baazigar (1993) - The lead actor was born in the 1960s.
Hint 7: Das Boot (1981) - The film was nominated for Oscars.
Hint 8: Starship Troopers (1997) - Metascore in the 50s.

StoneKeeper wins with The Firm (1993).

The firm (1993)

You got it! I saw that movie for the first time early this year and really enjoyed it. Definitely a movie I recommend.

You knew we were catching on to your flair for Asian cinema and changed things up to keep us off guard! (^ ^)

The Firm (1993). Hmmm... It looks like quite a nail bitter. Cool to see Tom Cruise in an early role I haven't seen.

Hahaha yeah I try not to do the same kind of movie twice in a row, keeps people guessing. :) I've used movies from East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and America in my game threads.

It's very good. I think Tom Cruise is pretty underrated as an actor. He's done some great stuff. He did well in The Firm.

Yes Thanks!

What spirited competition, SK, a worthy opponent.

StoneKeeper hit VERY close when he guessed A Time to Kill, because it was written by the same author who wrote The Firm. I contemplated saying so in my hint, that it was based on a John Grisham novel, but I decided that would make it way too easy.

reply

Looked it up - darn! A lot of John Grisham's books have been turned into films. With 8 to choose from, it would have been a fast game knowing SK. Glad you keep us on our toes, Kira. It adds to the thrill of these games and why I chip in when I can.
