StoneKeeper's Summer Movie Guessing Game #1165 [Kabul Express (2006) Winner: MonStar]


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.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- 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 15 guesses, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY
- Post one Hint at a time.

Hint 3: Selam (2013) - IMDb rating in the 6s.
Hint 4: The Patience Stone (2012) - War genre.

MonStar wins with Kabul Express (2006), a movie about two Indian journalists who go to Afghanistan in 2001 to see the country as it emerges from Taliban rule, but then they and their Afghan guide get hijacked by a Taliban fighter who demands they take him to the Pakistani border so he can escape the country. It's a decent movie, and it also contains a lot of beautiful shots of the Afghan countryside.

I cannot believe how close to the mark you hit lol. I was seriously conflicted as to whether I should use such a specific hint as the one I went with, or if I should go more vague. In the end I decided, what the heck.

reply

Really?

reply

I didn't see the harm in it. I figure, if nobody's online to play, no harm done and the game could sit and wait until someone's available. And if someone is online and in the mood, then so much the better. And if anybody misses out on it, well, it's not like there won't be more rounds coming right behind it. Plenty of movies out there in the world to use.

It's not as if the rules specify that the game can only be played at certain times of the day anyway.

True, let’s do it....I didn’t mean a anything by it, just lol cause it’s even later if you’re not in the west coast USA....could be different if your pressing up against the dateline
