StoneKeeper's Summer Movie Guessing Game #1160 - Nothing to do with Bill Bixby [Kawada_Kira spaces out with BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS]
Back by popular demand, we have another movie to recommend. This just in, people!
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.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.
Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.
- 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 and 15 guesses, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint.

Let's get it on!
Hint 1: The Incredible Hulk (2008) - At least one Oscar nominee in the cast.
Hint 2: The Mother and the Law (1919) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 3: Jurassic Park (1993) - Adventure genre.
Hint 4: Private Parts (1997) - USA/English.
Hint 5: Jumanji (1995) - James Horner did the music!
Hint 6: 48 Hrs. (1982) - Action.
Hint 7: The Journey of Natty Gann (1985) - Fewer than 50,000 IMDB votes.
Hint 8: The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) - Written by JOHN SAYLES.
Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) is the movie of the round, guessed by Kawada_Kira. It's a fun mashup of Seven Samurai and pulp sci-fi sensibilities in an attempt to recapture the magic of Star Wars on a lower budget. In its own way, this movie works. At the very least the space ships look a heck of a lot more convincing than what you might find today.
