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.

Hownos wins with Doppelganger (2003), a movie about a man who encounters another version of himself, after being warned that if he meets his doppelganger it will kill him. This is a movie that's so strange it's hard to pin down, but it's not really a horror, despite what Netflix says. From memory I think parts of it were creepy, but mostly it alternates between drama, thriller and comedy. I remember laughing pretty hard at parts of it. It's a movie you have to see to understand. I really, really recommend it. It stars Koji Yakusho, who as I've mentioned before is great with unconventional movies like this. Really, you should just see any movie that stars Koji Yakusho. Whenever you see his name on a movie, you're in for a treat.
