StoneKeeper's Super Awesome Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1073 [Tokyo Chorus (1931), guessed by MonStar]
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 Cabbage Patch Kids.

MonStar wins with Tokyo Chorus (1931), a lesser-known gem from the great Japanese director Ozu Yasujiro. It's about a hapless salaryman who struggles to find a way to provide for his family in Depression-era Tokyo. Sounds serious, I know, but it balances seriousness with humor and parts of it are quite funny too. Highly recommended.
