π₯ StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2369 [nyctc7 lights up the scoreboard with PINBALL: THE MAN WHO SAVED THE GAME]
The flagship game is back for another round that's free to play, no quarters needed. Anyone with a desire to play is welcome to step up, take the plunge, and aim for the high score!
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. 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 and Video. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

After a fair bit of bouncing, bumping and flipping, nyctc7 lands the shot with Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game (2022), based on the true story of one Roger Sharpe who was instrumental in reclassifying pinball machines for a new generation. It's a fun, light romp that revels in the relatively low stakes of what would become the standard for generations to follow. Could've used a cameo towards the end from Brooke Shields, but no movie is perfect.
Currently available to Stream on Hulu.
