StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1210 - Once Again [Vastuntitled breaks the ice with SHY PEOPLE]
All right, youse. It's time to dip into the bag and fish for another popcorn classic.
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.

Let's get it on!
****UNDER 3500 VOTES****
Hint 1: Reform School Girls (1986) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 2: The Young Savages (1961) - Drama.
Hint 3: A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988) - At least one Oscar nominee in the cast.
Hint 4: Fear City (1984) - MPA rated R.
Hint 5: Night Game (1989) - USA/English.
Hint 6: Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) - Director was born outside the US.
Hint 7: Walker (1987) - Plot keyword 'independent film'.
Hint 8: Spinning Boris (2003) - Color.
Hint 9: Maria's Lovers (1984) An Andrey Konchalovskiy joint.
The round goes to Vastuntitled with Shy People (1986). Here is a fantastically shot movie of big, sweeping themes couched in intimate character moments with a fantastic cast as well as a sparkling sense of levity to punctuate the drama. This was a Cannon production, and due to a hastily made distribution deal this movie got lost in the shuffle. With a proper release this may have very well been a major awards contender. It even won nabbed some gold at Cannes for Barbara Hershey's performance. Add all that up, and you've got a popcorn classic for the ages!
