Stonekeeper's Summer Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #457 - More than Just a Lucky Seven [LauraGrace knocks it out with PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE]
Independence Day is upon us, and the fireworks are a-poppin'. How's about we celebrate a spectacle of cinema?
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. Otherwise, add a Bonus Hint.
Let's get it on!
Hint 1: Reign of Fire (2002) - At least one Oscar winner in the cast.
Hint 2: Cleopatra (1963) - IMDB rating in the 7s.
Hint 3: Sophie's Choice (1982) - MPAA rated R.
Hint 4: From Here to Eternity (1953) - Partially filmed in Hawaii.
Hint 5: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) - Rottentomatoes score in the 80s.
Hint 6: Tropic Thunder (2008) - Comedy genre.
Hint 7: The Master (2012) - A film by Paul Thomas Anderson.
LauraGrace drops another win in the bucket with Punch-Drunk Love, a movie that's become somewhat of a 4th of July tradition in my viewing habits for reasons I am not sure I can fully articulate. Something about the high contrast coloring, the score that alternates between notes of needling dread and sweeping sumptuousness, and utterly bombastic explosions of pent-up feelings. No one quite captures the romanticism of the everyday like PTA.
