🎥 StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS movie #2437 [nyctc7 sinks it into the net with BASEketball]


Time for a special edition of this time honored game. Who will emerge this round's champion? Just remember to keep your eye on the goal and don't get psyched out.

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: The Mighty Ducks (1992) - Sport.
Hint 2: Bend It Like Beckham (2002) - Director has writing credit.
Hint 3: Gladiator (1992) - At least one Oscar winner in the cast.

Only three hints? I call foul!

Against all odds, nyctc7 drops one downtown with BASEketball (1998) - an overlooked sports comedy which I am honestly shocked did not involve the dearly departed Jim Abrahams.

It is, however, headlined by his creative partner David Zucker and starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone as a couple of wacky slackers who make waves in the professional sports world due to their half-baked idea for a new sport combining the cherished American pastimes of drinking and hurling insults at each other.

Featuring several gags per minute and a host of hilarious performances from Ernest Borgnine, Robert Vaughn and the late great Jenny McCarthy, this is a solid entry in the sports parody movie hall of fame.

Hint.

Gladiator (1992)

A walloping hint.

BASEketball (1998)

reply

Oh, my word - someone actually read the preamble!

That's the one. :-)

reply

Yep, I did and it obviously helped!

reply

Stealing Home (1988)

reply

Sorry, not this round. That's a great pick, though!

reply

I’m frustrated I missed this one. BASEketball was a favourite of my friend and I back in high school. We used to get high and have big laughs watching it. Rewatching it as an adult, it didn’t make me laugh so much anymore, unfortunately. My favourite scene: When he takes his “new best friend” out from the bottom drawer.

reply

A great scene indeed, though there are so many to choose from.
