StoneKeeper's Super Awesome Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #1066 [Laila's Birthday (2008), guessed by FredBurroughs]


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.

FredBurroughs wins his 200th victory with Laila's Birthday, a Palestinian movie about an out-of-work judge who's forced to drive a taxi to make ends meet. On the day of his daughter's birthday, he struggles to get home with a cake for her while navigating the absurdities of daily life in occupied Palestine. IMDb has this movie categorized only as a drama, but although it has some serious subject matter in it, it's mostly played for laughs and should be marked as a comedy as well. It's a clever, funny, and all-around nice movie. Definitely recommend.

I love you for that guess, by the way lol. You know how hard it is to direct players in this game toward the Middle East? Nobody ever guesses movies with Middle Eastern languages or settings.

reply

Well Ive been trying to pin ya down since hint 2

I'm not even gonna complain about the fact that Tunisia is in Africa rather than Asia. I'm just glad you guessed a movie where Arabic is spoken lol.
