StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1659 - I Got It This Time [tcrum conquers nature itself with JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO]


All right, let's DO this.

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 incorrect 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. No documentaries.
- 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: Out in the Dark (2012) - Romance.
Hint 2: The Portrait of a Lady (1996) - At least one Oscar winner in the cast.
Hint 3: Arthur (1981) - Main character name in the title.
Hint 4: Orlando (1992) - Director has writing credit.
Hint 5: Sid and Nancy (1986) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 6: King Kong (2005) - Oscar-winning director.
Hint 7: Annie Hall (1977) - Comedy.
Hint 8: Mighty Aphrodite (1995) - Yellow Metascore.
Hint 9: Shallow Hal (2001) - Same exact IMDB rating - 5.9.

tcrum is certainly no flibbertigibbet in finding Joe Versus the Volcano (1990), a surreal romp of magic realism and the reigning champion of Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan team-ups because, for one, it has three Meg Ryans. Brimming with romance and wit, this movie also showcases some outstanding production design to support the fantastic whimsy. With a mythic and philosophical bent belying its goofy charms, this overlooked popcorn classic provides some feel-good times.
