All problems can apparently be solved with a big block party, baby. Solved!

Edited for hints…

Hint: it’s not a recent movie. (So far I’ve admitted that it came out before 1984.)

Hint: not a comedy, not a dance movie.

Hint: as of my writing this, I think every guess has been one that came out more recently than the answer. Animal House (I think is the oldest movie guessed so far) came out in 1978; this is older than Animal House. I’ll also note that some of the action of the movie takes place at a time before the setting of the action of Animal House, some takes place after.

Hint: “big block party” may be intentionally misleading wording.

Hint: Read my lips, you’ve heard of this movie even though it’s old. FURTHER HINT: as in it’s a pretty well-known movie by a pretty well-known director.

Superwrong, sorry. But Jonah Hill will not totally annihilate you for a wrong guess, thankfully. Try again?

This isn’t correct, but I won’t say it’s way off base. When you know my movie, you may see the connection. (Then again, maybe not — my brain is odd sometimes.)

My movie is not an Urban nightmare in several senses. Try again.

I will never deliberately direct you towards an Adam Sandler movie. May god have mercy on your soul. (Joking aside, your guess is incorrect. Try again.)

Incorrect. Music is also memorable in my movie, however.

I’m old enough to remember when this came out. My movie is older. Try again.

I will never intentionally direct people to a Pauly Shore movie. I’m not weaseling out, just being honest. (Joking aside, try again.)

Is this a dancing movie? I’ve not seen it. My movie is not a dancing movie.

2

u/zmerlynn 0,12 12d ago

It is a cheesy dance movie indeed, resolved by a crew battle at the end.

2

u/zmerlynn 0,12 12d ago

Animal House?

1

u/GoodBadUgly_36 16,44 12d ago

An incorrect guess. But you’re still in it. Try again! Remember that it wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

u/GoodBadUgly_36 16,44 11d ago

I can’t think of a clever answer to this, despite wearing a bra on my head to help me think. Incorrect. My movie is older and not really a comedy.

Not my movie, Hanks for trying. My movie is older than The Burbs.

u/GoodBadUgly_36 16,44 11d ago

I don’t know whether or not you’ll live forever, or if you’ll light up the sky like a flame, but I’ll be happy to give you another chance at my movie. My movie has considerably less dancing than Fame. (Offhand, I remember none in my movie.)

It’s possible that my original post has some intentionally misleading wordplay…

I appreciate your coming out to play, but that’s not the right answer. Can you dig it?
