StoneKeeper's Summer Movie Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1196 - See What Sticks [Kawada_Kira camps out with WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER]


What a day, what a day. All aboard for another exciting play.

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.
- The OP cannot win a game before 12 hints are on the board. After Hint #12, there are 3 final guesses. With 15 incorrect guesses the OP gets to start the next game..
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY
- Post one Hint at a time.

Let's get it on!

Hint 1: A Taste of Honey (1961) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 2: Gravity (2013) - Multiple time Oscar-nominated actor in the cast.
Hint 3: Ghostbusters (1984) - Comedy.
Hint 4: Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962) - USA/English.
Hint 5: Jojo Rabbit (2019) - Yellow metascore.
Hint 6: RED (2010) - Plot keyword 'cleavage'.
Hint 7: Silver Streak (1976) - Over 15,000 IMDB votes.
Hint 8: Instant Family (2018) - Director has writing credit.
Hint 9: Click (2006) - Aspect ratio 1.85:1.
Hint 10: The Addams Family (2019) - 21st century movie.
Hint 11: The Hangover Part II (2011) - Bradley Cooper's in it!

At the end of the day, Kawada displays some true talent by zeroing in on Wet Hot American Summer (2001), a zany spoof on '70s/'80s teen summer camp movies featuring an all-star ensemble of comedy heavyweights and many gags that are inspired, bonkers, and frequently both at the same time. If you're looking for a movie that knowingly makes fun of its own conventions, this one's good for a ton of belly laughs.

Not enough votes for this round's minimum.

RED (2010)

There's a rather convoluted hint I was considering, but this one probably makes the search easier.
