🎥 StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2386 [StoneKeeper apprehends his target with FUGITIVE NIGHTS: DANGER IN THE DESERT]


All right, gumshoes - this one is going to take a bit of detective work to solve, but it's out there for the person willing to put together the clues.

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!


***UNDER 3,500 IMDB USER VOTES***

Hint 1: Elvis Gratton (1981) - 20th Century movie.

Hint 3: Firstborn (1984) - TERI GARR.

Hint 5: Vixen (1968) - Plot keyword 'bare chested male'.
Hint 6: The Moonshine War (1970) - Based on a novel/previously published material.
Hint 7: Out Cold (1989) - More than one Oscar Nominee in the cast (besides Teri Garr).

Hint 9: Red Line 7000 (1965) - Under 1500 IMDB user votes.

Bringing the investigation to a close, StoneKeeper nabs this one with Fugitive Nights: Danger in the Desert (1993), an attempted pilot repackaged as a movie of the week that provides some solid detective action and some of the juiciest verbal jousts this side of a Mamet script. Sam Elliott and Teri Garr headline as a boozy pair of investigators snuffing out cases in the greater Palm Springs area. Why this didn't takeoff as a four or five season syndicated series is the real mystery here, since Garr and Elliott showcase some sizzling chemistry with Thomas Haden Church bringing firecracker energy as their rookie sidekick. For all its bizarrely idiosyncratic banter and potboiler shoe leather, this is a fine piece of small screen cinema.

Currently available to stream on Tubi and Amazon Prime.
