Stonekeeper's Summer Game: I recommend this Mystery Movie #53 Winner is Fredburroughs with Paper Moon


So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

- 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, the point goes to the OP and he gets to start another one.

Hint 1 Ben-Hur= Adapted from a novel
Hint 2 Swept Away (1974) = one of the genres is comedy
Hint 3 Dr Zhivago (1965) = both best sound Academy Award nominees
Hint 4 Young Frankenstein = b/w film
Hint 5 Mary Poppins = female protagonist


A miraculous win by FredBurroughs. The Mystery Movie is Paper Moon (1973)
