->StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1688, DREAM HORSE (2020), nyctc7 won the race!


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.

Dream Horse (2020) nyctc7 won the race! Based on a true story (with really no significant deviations), Dream Alliance is an unlikely race horse bred by small-town Welsh bartender Jan Vokes. With no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream in the hopes he can compete with the racing elites. Stars: Toni Collette, Damian Lewis, Owen Teale, Joanna Page. Filmed in the UK and Wales. In theaters now, which is where I saw it.

Sounds like a movie I'd like! And I am also a fan of Damien Lewis.

reply

I did not know Damien Lewis, but he and Toni Collette were the driving forces of the film. I don't think the producers had money for marketing, which is a shame, as it deserves a wide audience.

reply

I first became aware of Damien Lewis in the HBO series Band of Brothers, and IIRC he fooled me, I did not know he was British. Then some years later as Henry VIII in Wolf Hall and Bobby Axelrod in Billions. He's really good.
