🎥 StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2305 [nyctc7 cooks up sumptuous dish with LABOR DAY]
Salutations to all the long weekend warriors out there! Whatever your pleasure might be today, I've got a treat that you'll find just peachy!
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: The Hot Spot (1990) - At least one Oscar winner in the cast.
Hint 2: There's Something About Mary (1998) - Director has writing credit.
Hint 3: Modern Times (1936) - Drama.
Hint 4: The Professionals (1966) - MPA rated PG-13.
Hint 5: The Blind Side (2009) - Yellow Metascore.
Hint 6: Eat Pray Love (2010) - Romance.

Hint 8: Aloha (2015) - Lead actor has appeared in several Marvel movies.
As on the nose as the title is, it took our players eight hints for nyctc7 to land on Labor Day (2013). "If you want to critique a movie, make another movie" - to paraphrase a quote widely attributed to Godard. This is what I see Jason Reitman doing here within the framework of a schmaltzy romance in line with Love Story or The Notebook. All the basic ingredients are in place, yet they're twisted into this brooding, intense drama about two broken people trying to rebuild.
The narrative takes some bold swings (wearing its novel roots in its sleeve at times), but it works for the most part. Spearheaded by committed lead performances from Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet, this sun-spotted slice of late summer treacle offers plenty of nuance to distinguish itself from other movies it might initially resemble.
Currently available to view on Amazon Prime and Paramount+.
