πŸŽ₯ StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS movie #2395 [StoneKeeper dines on victory with ALICE'S RESTAURANT]


I know it's probably a little bit late in the day for a round, but I think someone will be able to guess this movie in short order...

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. Examples 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.

- 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.

Let's get it on!

Hint 1: Faster (2010) - Drama.
Hint 2: High and Low (1963) - Director shares writing credit.
Hint 3: The Decameron (1971) - 20th century film.
Hint 4: The Elephant Man (1980) - Based on previous material.
Hint 5: The Bohemian Life (1992) - Comedy.
Hint 6: The Iron Giant (1999) - M. Emmet Walsh is in the cast.
Hint 7: To Be or Not to Be (1983) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 8: Sunset (1988) - Oscar nominated film.

Today's blue plate special is Alice's Restaurant (1969), ordered up by StoneKeeper. This counter-culture allegory (adapted from the song of the same name), presents a tightly structured immediacy that upends its languid source material and leaps off the screen with ideas as pertinent today as they were over 55 years ago. Arlo Guthrie leads the cast as a fictionalized version of his stage persona, a young man caught in the crossfires of the system and fighting the machine from within - and yet it's mostly presented in a quiet, tactful unsensationalized matter that might be lost on audiences today. Still, this slice of Americana goes down as easy as apple pie
