StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2273 [nyctc7 closes on a high note with ONE FROM THE HEART]


It's time line 'em up and see who's going to gamble and win big. After all, what's a day like this without fireworks?

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. 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 and Video. 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: Sirens (1994) - Drama.
Hint 2: On Golden Pond (1981) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 3: Plot keyword 'female nudity'.
Hint 4: Heist (2015) - Casinos and gambling are very prominent in this film.
Hint 5: Asteroid City (2023) - Some family ties between this and the mystery film.
Hint 6: The Good Thief (2002) - Romance.

The fireworks are at full blaze as nyctc7 fires off One from the Heart (1981) - Francis Ford Coppola's ambitious, exuberant, wildly spectacular infamous failure. This is a movie with a capital M, using a clockwork toy box of classic film techniques to deliver a vision like no other. Teri Garr shines in one of her rare leading roles, with magnetic performances from Raul Julia, Nastassia Kinski, and the always welcome Harry Dean Stanton. It'll be intriguing to see Coppola's next film, produced on a sound stage not too dissimilarly from this. We'll see if he's picked up any insights since.

To paraphrase one online review I saw a while ago: If you're going to risk everything, go bankrupt and set your career back by a couple decades, it might as well be with a stone cold masterpiece.

A beautiful movie to watch. Coppola told a group of aspiring filmmakers that losing a ton of money means producers don't want to talk to you anymore, or risk financing your next failure.

reply

He then went on to add: "...anyway, I'm working on this new movie called Jack..."
