StoneKeeper's Delightful Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #1033 [The Red Detachment of Women (1961), guessed by tcrum]


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you 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 Cabbage Patch Kids.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/

- 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 and 13 guesses, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.

Hint added. I went ahead and added a bonus hint too since it's getting down to the wire.

reply

This is definitely the hardest Stonekeeper I've done.

reply

It was pretty difficult for me too haha. Some of the hints weren't easy to come up with, which is why I resorted to narrowing down previous hints a couple times. It's a common problem when we're dealing with lesser-known movies which often have sparse IMDb pages.

reply

I had that problem a few games ago. I tried to pick a lesser known movie and it took Nync7 all the clues to get it.

reply

The Red Detachment of Women 1961

reply

That is the one! Congrats on a hard-won victory.

reply

I did one with Fred that was really hard but this one really got me. I couldn't figure out which countries were communist. Then I wasn't sure if it was communist in the 60s or now:)

reply

Oh yeah I was referring to countries that were communist at the time the movie was made.

reply

Well done, tcrum. Thanks for the link Kawada_Kira, I think I'd like to watch this one.

reply

Cool, I hope you enjoy it!
