Stonekeeper's January Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Mystery Movie #888 - Strap on Your Skates [nyctc7 is on the mark with OFF BEAT]


It's time for another flight of fancy brought to you by moi.

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.

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 naked girls.

With Off Beat (1986), nyctc7 uncovers a hidden gem in a strong character-based comedy that was overlooked by many at the time of release. The setup, contrived as it is, paves the way for some revealing moments and genuinely funny story payoffs that seem more in line with a mid-2000s indie flick than a light and zany mainstream 80s comedy. With an astonishingly eclectic cast and a weird tropical/steel drum-themed original score for some reason, it's an odd combination that works out to be greater than the sum of its parts.
