StoneKeeper's Fun Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1885 [Cossacks of the Kuban (1950) Winner: tcrum]


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, nominations. 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. 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.


Under 3500 votes

Hint 1: Letters from a Dead Man (1986) - Made in the Soviet Union.
Hint 2: They Fought for Their Country (1975) - Color.
Hint 3: Rasputin (1981) - Under 1500 votes on IMDb.
Hint 4: Quiet Flows the Don (1957) - Release date in the 1950s.
Hint 5: The Idiot (1958) - Directed by Ivan Pyrev!
Hint 6: The Twelve Months (1956) - Director does not have writing credit.

Tcrum wins with Cossacks of the Kuban (1950), a nice Soviet musical comedy about life on two competing collective farms in southern Russia and the relationship between two of their members. Good movie, funny and with good music too IMO.

Oh interesting, it actually says it's from 1949. Wonder why IMDb had it as 1950 then.

reply

I wonder myself.

The movie FullHD and with English subtitles.
Maybe I give the movie a chance.

reply

Cool, hope you enjoy it. :)

Want to go ahead and do a famous person round?

reply

I will start a easy famous person round in 5 min and this will be my last game for today.

reply

I actually don't think those subtitles are too great though, it looks like it misses some lines and there are some time delays, and although I don't speak a lot of Russian it seems to me like some sentences are mistranslated. I think there's another Youtube video of this movie with better subtitles.
