Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #258 [Les Misérables (1998), guessed by FredBurroughs]


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: Waltz with Bashir (2008) - History genre.
Hint 2: Taboo (1999) - Based on a novel.
Hint 3: Blame it on Fidel (2006) - Setting is in Europe.
Hint 4: A Bridge Too Far (1977) - Runtime at least 2 hours.
Hint 5: The Heroes of Telemark (1965) - Country in common: UK.
Hint 6: Tom Jones (1963) - Shares the plot keyword: orphan.

FredBurroughs wins with Les Misérables (1998), my favorite adaptation of Victor Hugo's masterpiece.

Les Misérables (1998)

That's the one! I had deliberately planned my hints so they could apply to both the 1998 and 2012 versions of Les Misérables, but you beat me by guessing both at once.

Personally I didn't like the 2012 one very much (I felt that a number of the cast members weren't suited to their roles and weren't very good singers), but I absolutely love the 1998 version.
