Stonekeeper's Summer Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #567 - Don't Bring up That Night in Devon [Host gets the point with PONETTE]
BOOM
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.

After a litany of hard work from everyone the point passes on to moi.
It's been a while, but I was recently inspired to watch Ponette (1996) again. It revolves around the general premise of a girl trying to reconcile a drastic change in her world. This film handles the subject matter in the form of a parent's death. I appreciate the way that it captures the innocence of a child's view presented in a stark and straightforward manner. While not the easiest watch in the world, Ponette delivers an optimistically honest portrayal of one's grasp with grief.
