Fruitvale Station (2013)
I just noticed that I wasn't posting a Reply to each guess, that a hint was added. The guesses got ahead of me and I just posted the new hints.
I got bogged down on "1917," It was too new, it had higher ratings, and lots of them, and I couldn't find much in common. I wasn't going to post "same director" to Taxi Driver, as it would be a dead giveaway. I wanted to post Comedy, but I didn't get a chance.
Since I only saw two of these guessing games, I didn't know if I could use Golden Globe nominations or Metascore rating. Martin Scorsese won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.
WINNER. I loved this film. A dark comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, run time 1 hour and 37 minutes!
New guessing game #1063 posted!
So when you set one up, there is no initial hint at all? It's just a wild guess by the first reply?
I looked at this game before anyone posted.
I was on IMDB's message boards for years, but I don't remember if I used this user name. I haven't logged in there since they closed the message boards.
I looked at one last night. I was about to post something, but someone else guessed the correct answer.
The Man in the White Suit (1951)
Singer/actor Bobby Sherman left the public spotlight and became an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). He volunteered with the Los Angeles Police Department, working with paramedics and giving CPR and first aid classes.
Too bad that he wasn't recently working with the cops in Minneapolis.

There is actually a board game called <b><i>Leaping Lemmings</i></b> that simulates this. Players try to get as many of their lemmings from one end of the board to the other, where they leap off. It is played at several board game conventions. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29687/leaping-lemmings
Where the Buffalo Roam as Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
When the MTM show was on the air, Mary Tyler Moore's picture was regularly and constantly on the cover of many women's magazines. Her agent or whoever was handing her public relations knew what they were doing.
People who smoke look 10 years older than their actual age. If MTM also had an alcohol problem, that would only make it worse. So whoever handled her makeup and lighting knew what they were doing too.
I never thought she was all that attractive. I think her greatest acting performance was in <i>Ordinary People</i>, playing against type.
Claude Debussy's <b>Clair de Lune</b> (1890), frequently used in films.
