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.
