đŸŽ„ StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS movie #2417 [VinceD rakes up a win with FALLEN LEAVES]


At long last, I have verified that I am human and can post new topics again. So how about a new round just in time for autumn!

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: Jack's Back (1988) - Director has writing credit.
Hint 2: Ravenous (1999) - Drama.
Hint 3: The Terminator (1984) - Green Metascore.
Hint 4: Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) - VFA runtime under 2 hours.
Hint 5: Speak No Evil (2022) - European filming locations.
Hint 6: LĂ©on: The Professional (1994) - Over 100 critic reviews on IMDB.
Hint 7: United 93 (2006) - 21st century film.
Hint 8: Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013) - Germany.
Hint 9: Antichrist (2009) - No MPA rating.
Hint 10: The French Dispatch (2021) - Comedy.

Seasons may pass, but VinceD locks in a timely triumph with Fallen Leaves (2023), a delicate and sumptuous film buried beneath a visage that is dry by design. Steeped in more whimsy than a Wes Anderson-directed golden age Hollywood Musical, director
Aki KaurismÀki captures high-spirited emotion by way of the mundane. There is not a single frame in this film crafted by accident, delivering a precise experience filled with wonder at every turn. Definitely something to seek out.

Munch on this hint.

reply

Terminator (1984)

reply

Nice night for a hint, eh?

reply

Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

reply

Another hint.

reply

Speak No Evil (2022)

reply

Sharing this hint.

reply

LĂ©on: The Professional (1994)

reply

I provide this hint because the only cut of LĂ©on worth watching is over 2 hours.

reply

I wasn't aware of alternate cuts?!?

I've been missing out on something dammit.

reply

LUC BESSON CALLS THE ORIGINAL THEATRICALLY RELEASED FILM THE DIRECTOR'S CUT...AND THE NEWER VERSION WITH SCENES REINSERTED HE REFERS TO AS THE LONG VERSION

reply

I just checked netflix and they only have the 1h 50m cut. I need to see these other cuts.

Has Besson ever mentioned which cut he prefers? I suppose the directors cuts since he calls it that.

reply

THE INTERNATIONAL VERSION(THE LONG VERSION) IS THE FILM HE INTENDED TO RELEASE.

reply

Gonna have to check sources, but to my knowledge the cuts over 2 hours are the preferred ones.

reply

YUP...HE MADE THE CUTS...SO HE CALLS THE SHORTER VERSION THE DIRECTOR'S "CUT"....BUT HE DEFINITELY PREFERS THE INTERNATIONAL(LONGER) VERSION OF THE FILM.

reply

All that matters is that Gary Oldman gets enough screen time to go completely unhinged.

reply

1h 50m(110 min)2h 16m(136 min) (uncut) (France)2h 13m(133 min) (International)


Well how about that, there's at least 3 different versions. I know I saw the theatrical cut in theaters when it was new, I'm not sure about the ones I've seen since then.

reply

United 93 (2006)

reply

I prefer the two hour cut where everyone gets a happy ending.

reply

ME TOO...THE TOM CRUISE CAMEO REALLY BROGHT THE FILM FULL CIRCLE.

reply

Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013)

reply

A movie I found decidedly less sexually charged than Little Monsters (1989). Hint.
