Stonekeeper's Summer Game: I recommend this Mystery Movie #485 [Zemlya (1930), guessed by StoneKeeper]


The rules: 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.


Hint 1: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) - Setting is in Europe.
Hint 2: The Day of the Jackal (1973) - Fewer than 40,000 votes on IMDb.
Hint 3: Steamboy (2004) - IMDb rating between 6.0 and 8.0.
Hint 4: Knife in the Water (1962) - Black and white.
Hint 5: Tais-toi! (2003) - Runtime shorter than 90 minutes.
Hint 6: Black Sunday (1960) - Shared plot keyword: "horse".
Hint 7: The Desert Rats (1953) - The story involves actual historical events.
Hint 8: Pickpocket (1959) - Drama genre.
Hint 9: Cold War (2018) - Director also has writing credit.
Hint 10: Forbidden Games (1952) - Shared plot keyword: "farmer".
Hint 11: The Mortal Storm (1940) - Set in the 1930s.

StoneKeeper wins with Zemlya (1930), an excellent Soviet film about the struggle between peasants and landowners in the USSR during the development of collective farming.

That's in Africa rather than Europe, but I'll let it slide I guess since it was about Europeans fighting in Africa. Hint added.
