Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #259: In for a Pickle, in for the Brine [HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN Kawada_Kira mutates the win]
Let's be honest - there ain't no stopping this train. The question is - can you hang on? Reading the rules just might help:
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.
Let's get it on!
Hint 1: The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) - Under 2 hours.
Hint 2: The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) - Comedy genre.
Hint 3: Bandidas (2006) - USA/English in common.
Hint 4: Duck Soup (1933) - Under 60000 IMDB user votes.
Hint 6: The Lobster (2015) - 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
Hint 7: Stripes (1981) - Released between 1979 and 1989.
Hint 8: Dick Tracy, 1990 - Director was born in the USA.
Hint 9: The Man with Two Brains (1983) - Male lead.
Hint 10: Diner (1982) - A principle cast member has participated in professional wrestling.
Hint 11: Polyester (1981) - IMDB user rating between 7.5 and 5.5.
It wasn't looking pretty, but Kawada_Kira managed to tick all the boxes with the daring guess, Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988), and I cannot bear to deny that brilliant gem of a quasi-Mad Max ripoff.
