StoneKeeper's Super Awesome Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1063 (AFTER HOURS (1985) Kawada_Kira wins!


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.

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 Cabbage Patch Kids.

WINNER. I loved this film. A dark comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, run time 1 hour and 37 minutes!

reply

Yes! :D

Good job hosting.

Since I only saw two of these guessing games, I didn't know if I could use Golden Globe nominations or Metascore rating. Martin Scorsese won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.

reply

You can use Metascore rating, rotten tomatoes score, and any award wins or nominations that you like.

reply

Yep you can use those. You can use literally anything that the guess movie has in common with the movie you have in mind. Metascore ratings are a pretty common hint too.

reply

You can also do things like if it has the same number of words in the title, plot keywords, actors or directors in common. The hints you gave were good though.

reply

I remember in one of the games I hosted, one of my hints was that the movie (or maybe it was the director) won a certain award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

reply

I just noticed that I wasn't posting a Reply to each guess, that a hint was added. The guesses got ahead of me and I just posted the new hints.

I got bogged down on "1917," It was too new, it had higher ratings, and lots of them, and I couldn't find much in common. I wasn't going to post "same director" to Taxi Driver, as it would be a dead giveaway. I wanted to post Comedy, but I didn't get a chance.

reply

Ditto good job hosting

reply

It's a great film!

reply

The competition is fierce on this one lol. On the one hand I want to win, but on the other hand I feel a bit guilty for how we're all piling on MonStar in their first game. XD

reply

Same.
