Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend this Mystery Movie #236 [The Battle of Algiers (1966), guessed by twinA]


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: Fires on the Plain (1959) - War genre.
Hint 2: Land of Mine (2015) - IMDb rating higher than 7.0.
Hint 3: Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) - Runtime over two hours.
Hint 4: War Horse (2011) - Oscar-nominated.
Hint 5: Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (2007) - Fewer than 100,000 IMDb votes.
Hint 6: Come and See (1985) - Made earlier than 1990.
Hint 7: The Dirty Dozen (1967) - French is one of the spoken languages.
Hint 8: All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) - Black and white.

TwinA wins and joins the scoreboard with The Battle of Algiers (1966), an excellent film about the brutality of colonialism.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! The Battle of Algiers, one of my all-time favorite movies, a rare film about imperialism told largely from the perspective of those fighting against it.

Congrats on getting on the scoreboard, I've been rooting for you!
