If you need help identifying a long forgotten movie, you've come to the right place.
We'd always recommend a bit of self-sufficient keyword search work through Google and IMDB, but if you're truly stumped the Whirlpool movie buff collective may be able to help.

There are some ridiculously clever and knowledgeable folks lurking in this thread – and I mean ridiculous in the same way baby turtles are ridiculously cute. It's insane. However, to paraphrase Jerry, you have to help them help you.
Try not to post a "wall of text". Remember paragraphs and a little bit of punctuation helps the ease of reading. If you make it clear and easy to read, our members are more likely to try to help you.
So provide keywords, themes, even trivial details may help. Obviously, if you can remember actors, events, genre etc include that.
DON'T tell us how old you were when you saw it.
DON'T tell us where you were when you saw it.
DON'T tell us you were with your grandmother when you saw it.
DON'T tell us when you think you saw it.
DO tell us (roughly) what year you think the film was released.
DO tell us what era you think the story was set.
DO tell us where you think the story was set.
The long standing contributors to this thread like a challenge (within reason) and consider your questions to be a challenge, so the more information the merrier.
If they help you, please thank them. You can also reward them with a Smiley Vote if you wish.
This thread attracts a lot of first-time posters. Please stick around and "Pay it Forward" and help others to ease their frustrations as well. Whirlpool is a big place too – enjoy.
I really need help remembering this movie. It is stuck in my head and driving me crazy. If anyone can help I would be so grateful. I can remember almost the entire movie, I just can't recall what it's called, and I can't find it anywhere online. Here it is:
It starts out with a young girl (I cannot for the life of me remember this girl's name) appearing and talking to the floating head of her master, as he describes her assignment for the competition between her and two other girls for the chance to become a master witch. Her assignment is a guy named Richard. They watch as Richard and his wife (I think her name may be Kristin or something similar to that) are getting ready for a dinner with his boss. She observes that Richard's wife is mean spirited. The girl's master tells her that if she fails in her assignment then Richard will eventually lose his job, his self-respect, his wife and his home. She requests that he let her take Guss the ghost with her and he consents.
So the guy who pretends to be a social services worker or lawyer appears on the couple's doorstep a few seconds later and tells Richard that his long lost brother and sister-in-law recently passed away in an accident and left him something in his will. Excitedly Richard's wife asked how much they were getting and the man holds out his hand to shoulder height and says "Oh, about this much." Richard's wife asks when can they receive it and the man points behind them and says "She's already here." Richard's wife adamantly insists that the girl cannot stay there and says they need to leave. The guy talks them into letting her stay for the week until social services can find somewhere for her to go. After he leaves Richard helps her get settled in and calls a babysitter. Once the babysitter arrives they head for the dinner.
The scene cuts to the neighbors' house across the street where the lady is spying and her husband is trying to ignore her. While the girl and the babysitter are playing a game, the nosy neighbor lady knocks on the door to try and satisfy her curiosity. When they shut the door in her face she decides to find out more by climbing a latter and spying on the girl's room. The girl comes into the room right after she gets in place and summons Guss the Ghost from a duffel bag and sends him on a mission, which turns out to be to frighten Richard's wife while at the restaurant. They return home with her in jumpy hysterics.
Richard's wife works with his supposed friend, Gary (I may be wrong on his name but I think that was his name.) to frame Richard for corporate theft right when he was supposed to be on the verge of a major business deal promotion. Richard's wife regrets her part in what happened, and slaps Gary when he makes a move on her. Then when Gary is on the verge of closing the same deal the following day the girl and the babysitter – who knows that she is a witch – go to his office and cause him to appear to have a breakdown in front of the clients, which in turn causes him to confess that he was the one doing the stealing and that he had framed Richard so he could take his job.
In the end, Richard got his job back, got the promotion and landed the business deal with those clients. The nosy neighbor lady was sent to a psychiatrist by her husband. When the time came for her to leave she started to leave, but Richard pushed past his – still mean spirited – wife, ran out the door, and told the man still pretending to be either a lawyer or social worker that they wouldn't be needing his services. They went upstairs to put her bag in her room and Richards wife started ranting to herself about being stuck with the girl, then right as she begins plotting on a way to get rid of her, a banana peel appears in her path, she falls and hits her head. When she wakes up, her memories of the girl are gone, and she is no longer mean spirited, her words upon seeing the girl and hearing that they are adopting her are “How could I forget such a beautiful (or either wonderful I can’t recall exactly) child.
Looking for two movies:
One: – The scene I remember shows a Civil War officer, possibly in the fog, shooting wouned soldiers after a battle, while humming, whistling, or singing – I think the song was rock of ages. I ma pretty sure it was an opening scene, witnessed by the main character.
Two: Looking for an American War movie – I saw it on TV in the early 70's – Could be black & white – we may not of had a color TV at the time.
Could either be WWII pacific theater or Korean War. I only remember a few scenes.
1. The squad was dug in on top of a hill or ridge and being overrun. They dug holes and covered them – hiding inside.
2. They were going around a hill on a road and there was a camoflaged tank that they had to take out.
3. at the end the survivors were walking down the road towards their own lines or back to base.
I've got a pretty obscure film that's been bugging me for ages.
I believe it was released in the 80s (maybe 70s). A young boy is sent to live with his grandfather (I think) on a farm.
The strongest memory I have is of the boy spray painting his new caretakers truck white (and doing a poor job of it). When he tells a older female neighbor, she laughs uproariously at the idea of the older man having, of all things, a white truck.
Thank you and best of luck!

Greetings. I'm looking for the title of a movie I watched either in the 60s or very early 70s. In the movie I recall men with 4 arms that act as bullies/guards. In another scene, a family is walking in what looks like a huge warehouse and suddenly from above, 4 walls followed by the roof, falls around them, trapping them all. Immediately upon this happening, someone on the outside walks over to the structure and turns a valve on that injects a gas inside and eventually the people inside develop horrible skin lesions and begin to mutate. Sorry I have no more information. Those scenes haunt me since I was a child. Thanks for you help. JeanLui
So I've posted this before but still haven't found this movie and it's absolutely killing me!! It's been in my head for years!
Ok, so all I remember is somewhere in the beginning there are a group of young boys and a group of young girls, I think they are orphans. Anyway, one of the girls climbs on the stair railings and she and one of the boys kiss, then they hear a noise like someone is coming so she tries to climb back down but she slips and falls, I think she dies. Then the next scene is of that young boy years later and he is lying on his bed as if he was remembering that scene...
I would be so grateful if anyone knew that movie, its killing me!!!
one of the girls climbs on the stair railings and she and one of the boys kiss, then they hear a noise like someone is coming so she tries to climb back down but she slips and falls
There is a very similar scene in The Saintstarring Val Kilmer.
I have been trying to figure out a horror movi I saw in the past. All I can remember is one tiny part. A woman is standing over a kitchen sink and cuts her hand with a knife. The blood goes into the sink and it "wakes up" the house. Any suggestions on what this movie might be?
My request will be easy, because I found a part of video of this movie, but I can't remember what is the title:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbxbonOTLUQ
From 3:12 to 3:45
Please replay. I hope you will know it.
I'm looking for the name of a movie involving cannibalism. I am not sure exactly where it takes place. I'm terrible with guessing; it was probably made within the last 10 years.
Three friends (I think it's three) go on a hike/spelunking, somehow get trapped in a very tiny cave, barely able to move. One of the friends gets his leg broken. The broken leg becomes infected over time, requiring the other two friends to cut off the bottom half of the leg. The two uninjured friends decide to cut a little higher than necessary so they can eat their injured friend's flesh (they have been trapped and starving for days/weeks).
Eventually the injured friend dies (I think), and the other two continue to consume his body until there is nothing left but bones. Somehow they are rescued and taken to a hospital. Right before they are rescued, I think they throw the bones of their consumed friend down into the cave so the rescuers are unaware of the cannibalism that occurred.
The two surviving friends are severely traumatized and in the hospital having flashbacks. One friend (I believe it was the girl) visits the other and eats him (in the hospital bed).
I've done hours of searching on google and IMDB. I've read through the synopses of hundreds of movies involving cannibalism but can't find this one. I've tried hundreds of combinations of keywords but continue to come up with "Alive," "The Cave," and "The Descent," none of which are the right movie.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance
I am looking for a US-adventure-movie from the 50´s (I guess, but can also be late 40s). The setting is some Asian country (Korea, Birma, Thailand?). An US-officer leaves his love for some kind of expedition. His plane crashes somewhere in the jungle and he and (in my memory) one or two other guys (or one woman?) try to find back to civilization. I can only remember that one of them is injured (his leg) and the others carry him on a self built stretcher. Later he is left behind while the other(s) try to find help. Something like that. (P.S. No cannibalism like in the former posting). Once I knew the title (something starting with "B" or "Bo"?) but I just cannot remember it anymore. Would be great to receive a tip. Thank you.
There is a movie that me and my friends have been trying to figure out what it was since we were kids. About 30 years ago, early 80's although I'm not sure when it was first released.
There are 2 scenes I clearly remember.
They are in a very big house / estate. One man is hiding from another. The man searching notices some shoes behind the curtain, opens the curtain but nobody is there. As he walks away the camera pans up and the man is holding on to the curtain rail, and had left his shoes on the ground.
Towards the end of the movie, the main character finds what he believes will be the instructions to how to find some kind of treasure (or something very valuable), he removes the wrapping on the package, throws it in the fireplace, opens the package, which has a note saying that the map is on the wrapping that he just threw in the fire! The movie ends showing him digging in the backyard. The camera pans out to show how large the yard is and how difficult it will be for him to actually find the treasure.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!
I really need help with this movie. It is stuck in my head and driving me crazy. If anyone can help I would be so happy, This film is made in 70s-80s. Its about motorcycle gang who fight each others,They smoking alot of weed and fighting each other. I remember some scens in this video and
1. I remember a scen when they lays on "hay" in a open Barn and smoking weed and they kissing and hugging each other.
2. There is a dark scen when they going to the other biker gang to fight and befor the comming to them they sitting on theres bikes in the dark, u cant se the bikes, but you can hear them, All the bikes are in a "line" and in this moment they starting the "lights" on theres bikes 1 after 1, so only thing you se is there lights on motorcycles.
3. There is a scene when they have caught a "Women" and she is tired up to a pole, and 1 biker guy going to her and open her jacket with a knife, Then he cut the bra with the knife and putting the knife to the girls breast nipple,then trying to "rape her" cant remember if he did that.
4. And the last "Fight scen" is between 2 guys, 1 of this guy had a chain in his hand and hitting the other guy with, And if i remember right i think the guy with the chain is falling down to a hole in ground where it is a snake there,
5. I remember one scen in the end of movie, where a "cougar cat" attacks a Biker guy to.
6. When the movie is ending everyone is almost dead, You se a "Snake" crawling on guys dead body.
Iv been search for this movie for over 10 years, but never found it, So please help me find this :(
There's this movie where this man (Man 1) who killed another man (Man 2) then gets kidnapped and they tie this foam or pillow padding around his head and hit him in the head everyday to cause amnesia (I think that's what happened) to cause trauma without breaking his skull. And he ends escaping somehow and wandering around homeless and falling for the wife of the guy he killed but doesn't remember he's the killer of husband. I think the place he was kept by the kidnappers is in like a little dingy barn house looking room. And there is at least 2 kidnappers and he is eventually like in his briefs and is really in bad shape. Pretty much he's peeing and defecating in his underwear, given up on life. The kidnappers make a comment about it. There's this big point in the film where he has just lost it and ties the padding around his head by himself and waits for the kidnappers to hit him in the head like they do every day.
After he gets out of that situation, he's a homeless guy wandering the street and he ends up at a shelter. Man 2's wife works or volunteers there and ends up taking care of him. He gets on his feet and they end up in a relationship before she finds out he is the man who killed her husband years ago.
I have tried so many combinations of key words in Google to try to find this movie but I just can't find this. I'm pretty sure it's 2000's or at least 90's. I remember it being pretty modern.
I don't have much to go by here... but I'll give it a shot. I would have to say this movie was set in the late 80's early 90's. (May possibly be an episode of a TV show)
I remember one of the characters was an Asian guy who at one point jumps through a spinning fan/vent. The jump is in slow motion, and he lands on the other side of the spinning fan blades and kicks the fan from the other side to stop the blades from spinning, allowing the other people with him to get through. I wanna say that the main character/hero is sort of a Robocop-type character. I even thought at one point that it WAS Robocop.. but I skimmed through the Robocop movies and couldn't find any familiar scenes. I remember that the three heroes of the movie were this potential "Robocop-like dude", the Asian dude, and a kid. There may have been a forth but I can't remember. At the very end of the movie, the "bad guy" was in some sort of air craft or space ship or laboratory or something, and he laughs just before the whole place explodes. I'm pretty sure the bad guy had a beard and mustache.
Please help me prove I'm not crazy!!
I really need help with this movie. It is stuck in my head and driving me crazy. If anyone can help I would be so happy, This film is made in 70s-80s. Its about motorcycle gang who fight each others,They smoking alot of weed and fighting each other. I remember some scens in this video and
Some of these scenes remind me of the movie "Werewolves on Wheels," which I saw on tv very late one night when I was far too young to be watching such a movie. I don't remember everything you describe, but some of it is familiar. I remember the scene with the hay, the gang fighting with chains and intimidating people with their headlights. I think there was at least one scene where a woman who was abused by them--think she was the clerk at a gas station they stopped at in the middle of the desert.
I don't remember anything with a cougar cat, but there is a scene where a lady werewolf is shown attacking her biker boyfriend/lover. I think she jumps off a rock onto him, as a cat might.
It might not be what you're after, but I hope it helps.
Hey, actually I dont know if it applies or not, but I am looking for a movie that was French I guess, and it was an erotic piece about a woman who is bored by her husband, Only particular scene that I remember is the one when the woman sits in park on a bench and fantasies two black men touching her.
I guess it was released after 2000.
Thanks for the answear, But it was not that movie, The movie is almost 100% like this movie "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVTAYk0TFcI" Same theme, Same clothes, Same bikes, Same style etc etc, But not same movie :(
I'm looking for the name of a movie involving cannibalism.
probably not this one: The Severed Arm(1973) -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070673/
6. When the movie is ending everyone is almost dead, You se a "Snake" crawling on guys dead body
The Black Angels 1970 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1DBqZzDHVs – definately has the snake at the end. The girl is tied up in barn not on a pole – but close enough.
I have been racking my brain and have exhausted Google trying to find this movie that I recall from the late 1980's-early 1990's. It may have been a TV only horror movie as I recall it seeming low budget.
The plot seemed to center around a doctor/scientist who had developed a machine that allowed for the direct transfer of brains/knowledge/intelligence from one person to another. However, it was not mutual, the victim would sit on one side with his back to the back of the bad guy. The machine would then send a needle into the base of the skull and extract the brain.
I know it is not much to go on and if I can recall any other details I will add them if I can.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Not sure I am doing this correctly, but I will give it a shot. The movie I have been driving myself and my husband insane over, came out a few years ago, it had a big line up of stars in it. The only scene I can remember was a scene of either Bill Murray or Tom Hanks (might not be either) standing on a pier in a light brown uniform possibly shorts but may have been pants. I remember wanting to see it when it came out but was unable to go at that time and have been searching for it ever since. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I read through the comments on that video and saw someone list the movies and the times of each clip from that movie I hope this helps.....
0:54 from "ON THE EDGE", 1:46 from "THE PROTECTOR", 2:39 from "THE ADVENTURES", 4:36,5:04 from "HARD-BOILED", 6:25 from "FULL CONTACT", 6:46 from "HEART OF THE DRAGON", 8:00 from "ARMOUR OF GOD II: OPERATION CONDOR", 10:01,10:14 from "HIGH RISK", 11:31 from "LEGACY OF RAGE", 12:50 from "JIANG HU", 13:14,13:51 from "ANGELS OF MISSION", 14:06 FROM "TWIN DRAGON", but I can't remember 4:31.
Hi everyone,
I've read best-police-movies lists and tried every combination of search words I could think of looking for this, so you really are my very last hope!
This movie has been driving me insane for decades now, because I first saw it when I wasn't old enough to see it, and now I wanna watch it again to see if it's actually as scary as I remember (I'm sure it won't be).
It's an American movie, and I saw it on open network TV in the country where I lived, which means it's not an obscure little indie movie. It's probably from the 80s or 90s, and the character I remember the most is a little blonde boy (maybe 8 or 9, but could be older). There was a scene where he finds a decomposing body hidden somewhere (in a closet? a tool shed? I think the body might have been buried or hidden under something on the floor...), and another where he's running away from some bad guy who's after him (and his mom, if I remember correctly). There's also a nice police guy who is trying to save this kid (and his mom). The scene where he's running away I think takes place in a hospital, or some other large building with off white walls and long hallways. There is a chance the movie mentioned Witness Protection in some way (like maybe the boy and mom get sent into the program in the end). That's all I remember, unfortunately, so I have very little to go on.
Someone told me this was the movie Witness, but I saw that and that's not it. I hope someone else can figure this out.
the victim would sit on one side with his back to the back of the bad guy. The machine would then send a needle into the base of the skull and extract the brain.

That's because you're here in one of the best parts of it :P
I am looking for a certain Korean movie which i forgot the title.
Here are the details:
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama
Story: It was a romance between a north Korean girl and a south Korean guy. The girl was a daughter of a known military officer(i think). The guy was a son of the minister in south Korea. The north Koreans sent teenagers to south Korea for some reasons, one of them was the girl. The south Koreans also sent teenagers for some kind of test if the north or south can really cooperate of some sort. Then, Guy meets Girl, guy falls in love. The girl grows feelings for him but they made it a secret because of their nationality. At the end the girl left to north Korea, the guy was sad, simple story but it was very heart whelming, so I'd like to watch it again. The guy was a magician(magic tricks), also flirty. The girl was composed, disciplined, cold, but gets soft in the middle(kinda like a tsundere). It was modern era.
I know there are a lot of Korean movies out there that fits the description, but answer them anyways. I'm waiting for answers, for now ima google it, see if i can find it. :) Thanks in advance!
Hi, Iam looking for a movie or short film i saw back in 1998. A naked woman with short red hair is seating on a bench inside a house posing for a guy, the guy is either doing a portrait or taking pictures of her, while she is taking to the guy there is a close up of her naked body
Wow, seriously. That is amazing. I love the internet a little bit more today...
I'm happy that I could help. Sometimes it's just being there at the right time when it comes to questions and answers. I've seen the series enough times that I always recognize plot descriptions.
the character I remember the most is a little blonde boy (maybe 8 or 9, but could be older). There was a scene where he finds a decomposing body hidden somewhere
The Client (1994)

Good day folks, I'm hoping you can help me...
I'm trying to remember the name of a movie, set in an old english-style setting (older house, in a village or nice town, rather than a large city) Fairly certain the movie was released pre-90s, as it had an older look and feel to it, although I think it was released to TV in the late 80s/early 90s...
It has to do with the ghost of a man who either killed or witnessed the death of his wife. There were some recurring images, such as crossed swords on a mantle that fell off the wall, and a small pool of blood with a napkin on it.
There is a maid of some sort in the movie, and it wasn't particularly scary....
Thank-you for your time, and your patience with a somewhat frustrated, trying to determine if he's remembering something or just this side of crazy, first-time poster.
There is a very similar scene in The Saintstarring Val Kilmer.
Thank you, thank you!!!
That is exactly the movie I was thinking of!!

I'm pretty sure this movie came out within the past 5-10 years, present day(at the time) setting... All I can remember from it was the main character is a white male. His best friend is a black male. I think they worked for the government somehow. They have matching watches and the black guy has a very nice foreign car. Later in the movie, you find out the black guy now has a cheaper, American made car, and no longer has his watch(maybe pawned it?). The whit guy asks "what happened to your car?" To which the black guy replies, "I drive American now"The white guy goes to his house, and they talk. The black guy has a gun, points it at the white guy as he is leaving, but turns the gun on himself instead. This is all I can remember from the movie, the actors seem familiar but I just can't put a name to them... Any help is greatly appreciated!!
and another where he's running away from some bad guy who's after him (and his mom, if I remember correctly). There's also a nice police guy who is trying to save this kid (and his mom). The scene where he's running away I think takes place in a hospital, or some other large building with off white walls and long hallways. There is a chance the movie mentioned Witness Protection in some way
Just a stab in the dark but could you be thinking of Witness starring Harrison Ford. One of his better movies in my opinion.
Hi I'm looking for help finding an animated movie from possibly the late 80's or mid 90's. I don't remember much about this movie, but from what I do recall I remember three kids and a huge door that a great evil was locked behind. Watching clips from Little Nemo I got a similar vibe, but I distinctly remember that this great door was both opened at one point and locked again at another. Little Nemo only opened a door with evil behind it so that's nixed. I remember this door having huge gears and other locking mechanisms and the great evil behind it was a mix of cosmic blue and black, and the evil forces behind it tried sweeping the kids away with it etc near the climax of the movie. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Hi I'm looking for the title to a movie I remember watching as a kid. From what I recall it was from the late 80's and there was a scene early in the movie of a boy who was a skateboarding event then skating home with his friends. As he was skating home he is hit by a car and dragged down the road while his mother and friends ran behind the car desperately trying to get the drive to stop. From what I remember the boy dies and the mother then searches for the driver as he didn't stop.
Looking for a movie title, this movie should be about 10 years old or more i think and if i'm not mistaken it should be about the templars and the holy grail.
Scenes in the movie that i know is that there is a chase inside a parking garage between a guy and a girl in theyre 20's and the bad guys inside an SUV. The guy i think he doesnt know why he is being chased but i think its about is family that they are encharge of protecting something.
There is another scene where a guy with a sword in the middle of the road in the forest and a Porsche Boxter black if i'm not mistaken is coming at him and he slashs the car like in one of the movies Matrix.
Dont know about this scene, but there should be a scene with 2 people carrying swords trying to get past airport security after arrival or they are inside a police station. And if i'm not mistaken they say that they are antique dealers.
Hello Fellow Movie Buffs,
I have been searching for a movie for quite some time now, on and off, and like anyone else trying to find "that" movie, it's driving me up the wall. I can't recall how many keywords I've tried to make this movie come about, but to no avail. This is certainly my last resort. Hopefully, someone out there can help with the little details I remember:
This movie is set back in what I'd like to say, maybe the early 70s to the late 80s. It involves these three female siblings and a friend of theirs. Their friend comes to visit or live with them, and at one point, she ends up getting saved by this young man from drowning. Once he pulls her out, they end up kissing passionately for quite some time to say the least. The youngest of the sisters gets jealous from that, because she likes the young man, and eventually he moves on from the woman to her. They get caught kissing, I think, in the woods somewhere, (and a gunshot gets fired off somewhere which stops them abruptly). They also end up sleeping together in the same bed after he sneaks up to her room. He may have moved in with them before the whole drowning incident and works as a helper for them. Towards the end, the youngest sister and the young man end up leaving on a train together as they bid goodbye to her elder sisters and the friend.
The female friend was Caucasian, and the sisters were... Exotic looking. I don't think they were Caucasian, but somewhere from Indian or Persian background? I can't be too sure about that. The youngest sister was perhaps around 17 years old or older, as well as the young man. The friend was probably around her late 20s to early-mid 30s.
Thanks for any type of help, and good luck to everyone else that's on a search.

@Ron12 Holy crap, that's it! I've even actually heard of this movie, which just makes me feel stupid now... thanks so much for putting me out of my misery, this board is awesome!
From what I remember the boy dies and the mother then searches for the driver as he didn't stop.

Are you looking for two separate movies?
No. 2 reminds me of "The Guardian" (1990)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian_(1990_film)
Also, it sounds a bit like:
Friday the 13th: The Series (TV series)
"The Tree of Life" (episode)
http://en.wikipedia
Hi Moon
Yes it's a separate movie. I try to find and watch "The Guardian" and refresh back if it's the movie. Check on YT but the trailer didn't bring any memories back LoL.
And the first movie i've stuck for 2 days to find the title.

Here's the link to the movie on YouTube:

At @048, she merges with the tree.
How frustrating! I can't find the scene with the baby faces showing in the tree trunk.
EDIT: There are a number of films about people being hunted after an accident, including "Reeker" (2005) and "Soul Survivors" (2001).
Moon:
Yeah i think it's "The Guardian". The tree looks familiar now LoL.
The first movie i think not "Soul Survivors", yeah it's Reeker but the sequal, Reeker 2: No Man's Land.
I have two distinct scenes from a movie that I cannot identify. I can’t remember anything else of the movie so it’s possible they could be from two different movies, so I’ll post them as 1 and 2 in case they are from different movies. Either way I probably saw both of them like 8 years ago.
1) In the living room the father is yelling angrily, I can’t remember if it is to one of the children or to the mother. I think the father was known for being abusive. The mother comes into the room with a tray full of glass bottles of milk. I am not sure if she was pushed over on purpose, or simply tripped, but the mother falls to the ground. The glass bottles of milk shatter and she lands hands down on the shards of glass. Everyone in the room freezes and the mother calmly stands up, her hands are bleeding and full of glass.
From what I can remember of the décor and clothing, along with the glass milk bottles, I think the movie was set in the 60’s or 50’s.
2) A Mother is moving across the country with her multiple children. I do not believe a father is in the picture, but I could be wrong. In a roadtrip montage, you catch a glimpse of the family stopping for lunch. One of the daughters in sitting in the trunk of the car mixing dozens of hard boiled eggs into a jar of mayonnaise for egg salad sandwiches. I am pretty sure there is a narrator who says something to the effect of “After that trip I never ate another egg salad sandwich again.”
I’ve already tried googling variations of that quote, but to no avail. I can’t recall what decade the scene was set in, but it wasn’t completely modern. 80’s at the most recent.

I almost mentioned the prequel (actually not a sequel but about the character's history), but I read the summary and it didn't seem to match. I guess I should have tossed it in, too.
At least you have "The Guardian" to watch on YouTube to be sure.
["2) A Mother is moving across the country with her multiple children".]
No. 2 could be this:
A Home of Our Own (1993)
starring Kathy Bates
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107130/
Here's the movie trailer:
http://www.youtube.c
Ah, yes that's the movie! Thank you. Now I'm sure the two scenes I posted were from different movies.
1) In the living room the father is yelling angrily,
I just found out what movie this was, figured I'd post it on here for anyone's future reference. The movie is called "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio."
Ah, yes that's the movie!
It's been a while since I've seen "A Home of Our Own", but I thought I recalled them making egg salad that way while they were traveling and trying to save money.
The other film I've seen only part of~but not the milk bottle part. So, I'd never have gotten it from that scene. Someday I'll catch all of it.
2. I think it's a horror movie, i only remember about 1 big tree that have babies or body in them. That all i remember.
This could also be the tree of the dead from the movie "Sleepy Hollow" with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci.
Hi, Looking for a classic english pow escape movie from a castle.
I remember one pow was creating a glider in the roof of the pow camp.
It came out the end of the chaple I think, and they all cheered him as he got away, they used an old bath as a counter weight.
any ideas ?
Yes it was from Colditz, but it was made prior to 2012, someware around 70's-80's
thanks.
What about The Birdmen then?
just watch Escape from Colditz, didn't see any gliders!
your guess of The Birdman is correct. thanks you very much.
Hey friends!
So the movie I am looking for is a bit odd.
Don't remember much about it, but I do remember it involved a little boy who somehow travels to a castle where little kids are held captive by a man in a black mask.
The one scene I remember is when the little boy is talking to another boy about the food and how nasty it is, then the masked man (wrestler looking) flies down to the boy.
I also remember two of his friends, and boy and girl, boy wearing blue, girl wearing pink, kind of looked like kid superheroes, also blobs, yellow fungus looking blobs that try to capture the kid lol
Please help! Thank you:)
@Ron12 Holy crap, that's it! I've even actually heard of this movie, which just makes me feel stupid now... thanks so much for putting me out of my misery, this board is awesome!
No problem. Glad I can help.
Please help me find this movie.
It is a B movie from the 90's, there is a married couple on their boat/yacht and a redhead maid/helper. Three men board their boat in the midle of the sea, turns out they are terrorists/criminals. The redhead girl sleeps with one of the badguys to get his trust. When a police boat approaches, the main bad guy forces the girls to take off their tops to make it look like a fun trip, while having a concealed gun pointed at them.
I am trying to identify a movie that was in theaters in the U.S. sometime around 1968-1971. It started off with a boy and he went into his room, then used some kind of machine and he entered a cartoon world. He went through all kinds of adventures as a cartoon character, then at the end of the movie, he came back to human version – his mother called him and something like only 20 minutes had passed despite all the adventures he had been through.
Hey guys!
Obviously since I'm posting here I just can't think of the name of a movie, and it's driving me nuts! I've Googled it extensively and haven't come up with anything, so I'm hoping you guys can help me.
It's probably from the late 1990's or early 2000's, and I'm pretty sure would be classified as a Thriller. It's about an investigator who is chasing a pedophile, and eventually wants to use the child of someone he knows as bait, without asking her, I believe. So he sets up the girl to wait at a picnic table in the clearing at this convenience store (I think) that the investigator believes the pedophile frequents. Somehow he lets the pedophile know the little girl will be there, but as the guy is rushing to meet the child he actually dies in a car crash, so the investigator never ends up catching him, and it ultimately drives him crazy. The investigator eventually becomes a drunk and the movie ends with him sitting old and alone (I guess a few years in the future) at the convenience store entrance that has now closed down.
In the movie the pedophile drives a black station wagon with a little hangman hanging from the rear view mirror. The car crash is on a two lane highway with fields on both sides and I believe he collides with a tractor trailer when he goes to pass another truck.
Thank you so much in advance if anyone knows what the title of this is!!

whats the name of that movie that has like 3 boys invite a girl to a trip I think and one of the boys strangles her with a rope, I think they strangle her because she refused they're friend of somethign, its foreing the movie :/ please find out
REPOST:
I saw this film because of a girl who had brought the DVD back with her from Korea, and this was around 2002 or 2003 (so it was probably already 4 years old at that point ('97-'98?), but I do not know how old the DVD was). It was subtitled in English. It could have been Korean or from Hong Kong (or maybe someplace else in Asia). I doubt it was a movie that was ever shown in theaters.
The movie is mainly focused on a director talking to the audience about the movie that he would like to make, but can not seem to be able to — he wants to make a truly moving, epic, and profound, love story. He talks to the camera a lot, and acts out parts (even in drag when speaking the female rolls), as he describes the stories he has in his head. BUT there are also well done short films where he has his ideas played out by actors (some of the actors may even be a bit famous ... in Asia) and using real sets/locations. Parts of this film are really well done, but a lot of it is just the director guy in front of a camera and him just talking about how hard it is to come up with a really good love story and the various nuances and obstacles that he has found himself encountering.
Some of the shorts that are in this film:
– The apartment maintenance guy who follows the sleepwalking girl around town at night to keep an eye on her, as he is smitten with her and wants to protect her and get to know her. Coke bottles feature heavily in this one. She remembers nothing, so she starts tying a Polaroid camera to herself so that she might acquire some clues as to what goes on while she is out and about.
– The guilty man who left his fiancee at the altar (when they were both young — riding scooters like rebels) and now frequently visits her shop to buy a cola (and slams the whole thing right there at the register) in hopes that she might recognize him. He is guilt ridden over how he treated her, and has nightmares where he is visited by demons and sees himself grovelling for mercy (burning money for good favor). It's an odd sequence, hellish, but pretty good.
– The office worker who gives away a vacation package he won to a coworker. the coworker meets a beautiful woman on his trip and they fall in love. The office worker becomes insanely jealous and believes that the coworker has stolen his one true love because it should have been his destiny to go on that trip and meet that woman. ... the story dies off, the director discusses problems with it. It's kinda shallow/lame.
There are a few more shorts, but I'm not sure I can describe them accurately. Most of the stories are set in modern times, they are all in some Asian location/setting, all the actors are Asian, there is no English spoken in the film.
In the end, the director says that he hasn't made his love story movie yet, or maybe can't make his love story movie, because he postulates that perhaps he himself has not yet experienced that sort of love personally. Se la vie. Or something.
It's a really fragmented film. And really not very normal. But I really loved some of the ideas he put forth. I'd like to see the it again, but I have no idea what the title of the film might be.
Thanks
Description of the movie i seek:
A black man has a car breakdown, and he is on the side of the road, waiting for
help. A white man, stops and talks to the black man, offering his help.
At first the black man, explains the situation. Than the black man suddenly gets
aggressive, and even pulls a gun! Than the black man, says something like "ah just kidding around".
Moments later they both enter the white man's car. I am not sure if the white
man gets forced into (his own car) or that (despite his odd behavior) he is offering the black man a ride.
From that point on (about 20 minutes from start), the movie takes place inside the car entirely.
The drive ends at a Gas Station.
Being in the car, they talk a lot. In the end (the end of the ride) they respect each other.
Release year: not sure but around 2000 i would say. I don't think the actors are very famous.
List of movies that are not the movie i seek:
- Cactus
- The Man
- Collateral
- Short time
- Changing lanes
- Nothing to Loose
- Breakdown
- Wrecked
I'm new, here, so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. :)
anyway, I'm looking for an asian movie, (Probably japan) It's a movie about photography, where this guy met this interesting girl, who also interested in photography, but she had a unique way of taking pictures.
the girl likes orange, or so I thought, because she always eating them in the movie, and had a tattoo on her hand that kinda look like a handwriting. and the girl had a short hair.
they're both entering a photography competition, but the girl win, even tho she's not really interested in it (if I remember correctly) while the guy really wanted to win it. The guy got angry because of it, and decided to let the girl go, without contacting her again.
I'm not sure about what happen next, but the guy went to where the girl is (I think it's America, but I'm not sure) but the girl went missing, and they found a body in the hospital that matches with her traits, but the face is really wrecked, and can not be recognized. so the guy try to discover the truth by going to the places where the girl have been before through her last photos, until he found the truth that the girl had been killed by her roommate with a gun fired to her face, at the dock, the last place where she been.
so the guy came back to the hospital, and found the same tattoo, on the body's hand.
the guy then came back to his own country. He was looking through his camera in his house, when suddenly the girl appeared in front of him through the lens (I think she was saying something here, but I'm not sure).
And when the guy take his camera down, the girl is missing, but there's an orange right at the place where she was standing.
I think the movie was released around 2008 or before that. I'm not quite sure.
and it's not thriller, or horror movie. I think it can be classified as a romantic movie, with a little bit of mystery and tragedy.
There's also a Japanese movie that had the similarity with this one called 'Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru', or 'Havenly Forest' for the english title. with photography, short hair girl, and she died in the end. but the plot is different.
So if anyone can help me to find this movie I will be really thankful. I've been searching for this movie forever, and I forgot the name.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm looking for a movie. I just watched a few minutes as a kid, so maybe the information are a bit distorted, filtered through a child's mind.
I remember a room, like a classroom, but all the students are teenage girls. One of them stands up, draws a circle on the blackboard and mumbles some words. The teacher tells her to stop but he girl keeps on chanting. The teacher puts her hands on her ears and she runs screaming on the balcony and jumps off. All girls are now on the balcony looking down on her dead body. And I think a strange sign appears on the floor, a circle like the corp signs. The building is very old and classy, like a castle or a big mansion. I would say like an expensive boarding school.
The movie is at least 25 years old. Around the 70s or 80s. The era of the story might be even older, that's the feeling I got from the girls' clothes. I'm not sure about the theme, but it looked like the girls were hypnotized or the one chanting was some kind of witch.
Second attempt. Thanks to cws-swc for the suggestion of The Severed Arm, but that is not it.
I'm looking for the name of a movie involving cannibalism due to being stuck in a cave. I am not sure exactly where it takes place. It was probably made within the last 10 years. Horror, fiction.
Three friends (I think it's three) go on a hike/spelunking, somehow get trapped in a very tiny cave, barely able to move. One of the friends gets his leg broken. The broken leg becomes infected over time, requiring the other two friends to cut off the bottom half of the leg. The two uninjured friends decide to cut a little higher than necessary so they can eat their injured friend's flesh (they have been trapped and starving for days/weeks).
Eventually the injured guy dies (I think, or maybe they kill him), and the other two continue to consume his body until there is nothing left but bones. Somehow they are rescued and taken to a hospital. Right before they are rescued, I think they throw the bones of their consumed friend down into the cracks of the cave so the rescuers are unaware of the cannibalism that occurred.
The two surviving friends (one guy one girl) are severely traumatized and in the hospital having flashbacks. The hospital food is unappetizing to the girl, and she visits the other survivor in his hospital bed and eats him.
I've done hours of searching on google and IMDB. I've read through the synopses of hundreds of movies involving cannibalism but can't find this one. I've tried hundreds of combinations of keywords but continue to come up with "Alive," "The Cave," and "The Descent," none of which are the right movie.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance
I saw part of a movie several years ago and I'm trying to figure out what it was. It was a biographical coming of age drama about a woman working as a hospital nurse who impregnated herself with an unconscious patient (I think he was a soldier) and decided to have the baby. The only other scene I remember was later on in the movie, he has an emotional crisis and is distracted from driving, killing his two children in the back seat of the car. I remember the movie deals with parenting issues, and I seem to remember fatherhood played an important role.
I think the movie was from sometime after about 1985. I know for sure that it was before 2008, because I am 100% sure I saw it (or part of it) on a video disc in 2008.
I did not see the rest of the movie, and am hoping to figure out what it was so I can watch it in its entirety, so if possible I would highly appreciate just the name of the movie rather than any other plot details.
Thank you.
Hello everyone, I am new here and hope you can help me with this movie. I myself have not seen it but my mother has and so has my aunt. I know those two fall under the DON'T category but they remember enough about it to fall under the DO category so here goes.
It's a mid 1900s film maybe 1960s or 1970s about a gang of Dobermans that was trained to rob someone. I know there is one film called The Doberman Gang, but that is not the one I am looking for, although it was a very good movie for it's time. Hopefully the biggest clue for the film I can give is that one of the dogs was named Wrong Way because while all the other dogs would go right he would end up going left. I'm sorry, but that's all I have and know about the movie. I hope they're big enough hints to jog the memories of the experts?
It was a biographical coming of age drama about a woman working as a hospital nurse who impregnated herself with an unconscious patient
That's THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, though only one kid dies in the car, not two.
I know there is one film called The Doberman Gang, but that is not the one I am looking for
It could be one of the sequels, THE DARING DOBERMANS or THE AMAZING DOBERMANS – I haven't seen either so I couldn't say for sure.
hi,
I'm looking for the name of a movie where a man runs a service dumping people's girlfriends or boyfriends for them. Basically he goes to people and tells them that the relationship is over on behalf of the partner who wants to end the relationship. I think it was probably from the 2000's, takes place in the US, and the man was Indian. The man visits his parents house for Thanksgiving, where he meets his distant cousin from England (an Indian girl). He drives back to his house with his cousin and lets his cousin stay for a few days, where she learns of his break-up service. At first, he's very cold-hearted when delivering the break-up message, but his cousin sees him telling a young female student that her relationship with her professor is over, and the student starts crying. The cousin convinces him to go back and comfort the student. The cousin then becomes his business partner, where he breaks up for people and she comforts the victim.
I think the plot also involves the man introducing the cousin as his girlfriend to his friends at one point...I don't remember much more.

I think the movie you're looking for is "Kissing Cousins" (2008)
This movie is definitely from the 70's or early 80's. Mostly remember a small group of young adults being lost in the woods. Crazy large man kills most off using a tree trunk. Two finally find a clearing with those tall electricity towers and know that will be safe when they follow it to a road. If this wasn't a movie then it was a crazy dream I had as a child.
Trying to identify the name of a thriller from the '80s (maybe early 90's).
It involves a blond haired policewoman going undercover as a model to catch a
creepy photographer who killed her best friend.
She goes to his studio and models for him then later when he leaves, she sneaks into his darkroom looking for evidence. Unfortunately for her he returns and catches her in the act. He knocks her out and takes her back to his house where he lives with his half-wit brother.
She is kept handcuffed to the bed and they decide to make her a bride for one of the brothers going so far as to get her a wedding dress.
Eventually she escapes and the two brothers are killed.
Unfortunately I only saw a Japanese print of the movie so the English title was swapped out for Japanese characters.

More than two survive, but I'll suggest this one:
The Final Terror (1983)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Terror
I suppose I'm suggesting it because of the use of a tree trunk. Traps are set for them, and they end up fighting back.
I don't know if anyone tried to help find the movie I was looking for, if so Thank You very much, but I don't need it anymore. I was in the middle of doing something not even remotely related when the name just popped into my head. Just in case someone is looking for it later it is:
Little Miss Magic, with Vanessa Koman as the young witch Deirdre, Michelle Bauer as Kristin, and Ted Monte as Richard.
Again thanks everyone for looking.
Nice job on the boiled eggs in a jar movie. I read the post and knew that I'd seen it and loved it but couldn't remember the name. I didn't have to awing too long before I read ur answer. Excellent work

Answered my own question. "Red Room" from 1992

However if any knows where I might obtain a copy I'd be very happy. It appears to a hard to find video.
Hi everyone!
I have very little information but hope its enough to jog someones memory enough to get me an answer!
Im looking for a movie made in the 90's set in the 90's about a couple who kill children and in a end scene it is discoverd they are hidden in the walls or floor wrapped in plastic.
Upon reading this i realise people may think i have a sick taste in movies. This is not the case i just remember seeing it and being horrified and would like to look up what the story was. It was an American film.
Wish i had more info but this is it guys!
Thanks in advance,

a couple who kill children
Nearly every time this has been asked, the answer has been this:
Running Scared (2006) ~ I know: It's much later than your estimate.

The summary on this page gives more details:

It's possible that this is a complete miss, but most people placed this one in the Nineties for some reason.

The People Under the Stairs?
After much soul searching I eventually found ANDRA (1976) a telly sci-fi series broadcast in OZ when I was a lad. Am most chuffed.
I am stumped though for the name of a Japanese post-WW2 film as I saw it only once about 20 years ago on the box.
Set in a Japanese villiage just after WW2, the central character was a ex-soldier who was regularly locked up by the villagers for his own safety. Whenever he heard a truck approaching, he would suffer flashbacks and run out onto the road diving under the truck to "plant" an explosive as if he was still attacking allied tanks.
This film was shown as part of a Japanese film week as I also recall seeing another splendid film at the time .... Kuroi ame (Black Rain) 1989.
I seriously need help with a movie that's really been bugging me for practically half my life. I'm nineteen and certainly more than 6 years ago, when I was around 9 to 13 years old:
I saw my bigbro and dad watching this pretty disturbing-looking movie... Now I assume that it was a horror/scifi/fantasy movie, but I'm not really sure. I only saw a very short clip of it. It COULD also have been a tv series, but I cannot tell. I'd guess it's a movie.
It is easy to assume that this movie probably was not released long after 2005. It could've been released long before that.
My memories could of course be all splintered or I didn't understand what the movie was about, after all I was a pre-teen or even younger. But it in that scene I saw it looked like this:
It was possibly underwater in some cave-like place, there were at least two characters there who looked like humans talking to each other (most possibly one female and one male?) but who seemed pretty malevolent and weird to me. Were they some kind of underwater-living humanoids? If i recall correctly, their faces did NOT look like those of frogs.
In the area very close to them there were a few or several humans put in some kind of tubes/tanks/containers/pods that maybe had water in them, and the humans trapped in them were probably asleep or dead or in some kind of statis, with their eyes closed? They could have been stasis pods of some kind. Those two suspicious humanoids were probably part of those who put the humans in the pods.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? It would be absolutely wonderful if I found out what it was! I really feel like watching it soon :D
I have talked to them about it throughout the years, but they've never been able to remember...
It was just a movie among many that they watched in those times, I guess...
Ok I have one and it's been bothering me for a while.
The film is one of those thriller/serial killer films and is about a group of young adults that stay at a big warehouse type home. Someone kills them one by one, and at the end the survivor thinks he/she escaped but turns out that he/she was the killer.
It was one of those movies trying to be clever and the protagonist thinks he/she escaped. He/she opens a closet door and the girl who he/she thought the killer was is standing inside the closet and then falls down dead.
He/she tries to convince the police that they're innocent but the home was filmed and he/she was shown recordings of him/her killing the others.
I think it was around 2006 when the film was released, and was set in the modern US era.
I don't recall of there being famous actors/actresses in it but it's not Mindhunters.
Thanks!
I seriously need help with a movie that's really been bugging me for practically half my life.
It sounds like the TV mini-series 'V' or 'V: The Final Battle' where lizard-like aliens came to Earth disguised as normal looking humans. They captured humans and but them into stasis tubes to be used later for for food.

They remade the series in 2009 which perhaps is what you saw:
Hi everyone!
This is about a movie I saw a few months back. In the initial scenes of the movie, a guy tries to talk to his friend (the protagonist) who is probably an ex army man, and was sitting inside a huge pipe. Soon a full convoy of tanks arrive and start shooting at them. The friend of the protagonist is badly injured and succumbs to the injuries, but not before urging the main lead to save his wife & child.
The protagonist then proceeds to save his friend's wife and child from these people who seem to be trying to wipe out all humans in the area.
I am sorry but that's all I could remember. Also no idea about when the movie was made, but it looked to be not made too long back.
Thanks in advance.
I asked my bigbro and dad and they're pretty sure that they have never seen the original V series. And it could not have been the newer one because it's way, way too new to fit the description that I gave.
I'm quite sure that it was a movie.
I'd like to add that the area in the scene of that movie was totally sterile, as in it looked cold or something like that and without any plants or warmth. Space ship? Cavern? Underwater cave?
Im looking for this movie I watched a couple of years ago :/ maybe 3 or 4 years ago I don't know could be longer. Anyway the movie is about this girl n her mom sends her to stay with her dad n his new wife who is pregnant (I think this is in the summer. Anyway the girl doesn't get along with the step mom at first n I think I can remember her shop lifting at 1 point, near the end the girl actually likes the step mom n they paint the baby room together n the step mom goes into labour??? Anybody know it. Oh n I'm pretty sure it's set in America. :) thanks
New to here, hope someone can help!!!
A group of soldiers (Romans I think) are sent to retrieve a wealthy man and his family and take them into hiding?
Upon arrival one of them notices these underground cells and soon they realize there are alot of underground cells filled with innocent people and children... they free all the prisoners and lock up the "healers" or whoever they were that decided who went into the cells and they proceed to brick up a wall to seal them in.
Later they are being pursued by bad guys (Gauls, or Persians???) they cross a frozen lake and realize they can use the weak spots to there advantage. There is an arrow fight and I think some hand to hand... that's all I have hope it's enough, thanks
they cross a frozen lake and realize they can use the weak spots to there advantage.
King Arthur (2004)
From Wikipedia:
Tristan returns from scouting the area and tells Arthur that a whole Saxon army is on the move. The group soon encounter the Saxons at an ice-covered lake. The knights stay behind to hold up the Saxons and allow the refugees to escape. Greatly outnumbered, Arthur, Guinevere and the knights attempt to repel them with arrows; the battle is won when Dagonet runs to the middle of the ice and breaks it with an axe...
Hello My first time posting here but I'm at a loss i've spent the better part of the last few months trying to find this movie and have had no luck.
It was an animated film science fiction in nature. the only scene that has stuck with me for the better part of 20 years is 2 people are crawling through ventilation trying to escape something. Slug like creatures start melting through the vents and falling onto the protagonists burning into there armor and making them panic. i believe the film was made in the 80's maybe early 90's.
I need to see it though because i have a horrid recurring nightmare of this scene haha, i think it might put my mind to rest seeing the movie again.
cheers to you all and happy hunting!
I think the movie your thinking of it King Arthur http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2may9C26lk is this the scene? starring clive owen
Hello all, I'm looking for an animated film I saw in the late 1980s/very early 90s at a friend's house. I believe it was a fantasy movie. I think the hero of the movie went to some sort of foreign land (like a through a portal? not sure). I remember the villain was pretty scary to me as a youngster. Something almost like a furnace. Here's the part I remember for sure: at the end of the movie, he has to leave/go home. I feel like he was walking away during the credits (vague memory of him walking from left to right on the screen).
I know it is not The Elm-chanted Forest or The Dark Cauldron
Sorry I know that isn't much to go on!
I have one that's been bugging me for a while. All I remember is a scene where a smartly dressed woman is trying to hide from a killer or stalker in a parking lot, so she gets into a passing red car and ducks in the foot well of the passenger seat. A romance then develops between her and the driver.
This is memorable to me only because of the red car I just cant get it out of my head. The movie was a 90s release I think.
I saw this movie on TV in the mid-90's so I am assuming that it was released in theaters in the 80's or earlier (it was still in color though). The only scene that stuck in my memory is: two guys are driving futuristic flying cars that use magnetism to connect together. They entered this forested area while connected and as the trees got denser they switched the polarity of the cars and repelled away from each other, weaving through the trees before returning the polarity back to the original and linking back together. Sorry I don't have any other info... I was just a boy then
Im looking for this movie I watched a couple of years ago :/ maybe 3 or 4 years ago I don't know could be longer. Anyway the movie is about this girl n her mom sends her to stay with her dad n his new wife who is pregnant (I think this is in the summer.
Your description reminds me a little bit of "My Girl 2." Her step-mom is the one who is pregnant, but she has been the only mother the girl knows. The girl goes to stay with her maternal uncle's family for the summer to find out more about her birth mom's family.

Hello all, I'm looking for an animated film I saw in the late 1980s/very early 90s at a friend's house. I believe it was a fantasy movie.
Fire and Ice?
I'm trying to identify the name of a TV movie isaw back in 1993 that was about an incestuous relationship. Not sure, but may have been a niece/uncle or something. Don't remember any names but know that it was shown around the holidays. Brought back memories so I didn't see the end.
I am trying to recall the name of an 80's movie. Where a young boy (10yo area) gets made fun of because he wont zipline out of a tree. Later He gets kidnapped, and breaks free from his kidnappers and has to go down the very same zipline to freedom. I want to say that during the escape there is a scene at a river, where the kid has to catch fish and he stabs one of his kidnappers?
I want to think that the name is something along the lines of "The Breathtaker" "Windtaker" etc.
Sound like "The Game" with Michael Douglas
Sorry, I didn't do it right either. lol
So, as i was asking, which post were you replying to?
This has been driving me crazy as of late and I really need some help.
I remember seeing a movie as a kid and it just struck me the other day, but I can't figure out the name of it or even find anything similar on the web.
It was an Italian sci-fi(ish) movie, where a family was about to eat dinner and all of a sudden the dinner comes alive, or turns into robots (if I'm not remembering it crazy). A particular shot from the movie is in my head, where we see the dinnertable from up in the ceiling and there's robotic tentacles (or something) snaking across it, trying to get at the horrified familymembers, and the cutlery etc. starts turning into something that wouldn't feel out of place in a Terminator movie.
I remember the film looking like it was made sometime in the 70's/80's, and had entirely practical effects which was really well made. I'm pretty sure it was an Italian production and it may also have been a short film as opposed to a full feature.
Does this ring any bells for anyone? Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
This is a hard case. I am afraid no one can help me on this one.
From the movie:
A cheyenne, I think, is being chased by cowboys through a desert/prairie. The plot is all about this chase. In the end the cheyenne reaches a fort/castle and with the cowboys at his heels he runs towards the fort to get to safety, but then he gets shot by a soldier at the fort and he dies and the movie ends – almost. Now the movie takes us back on a rewiev from the end till the start of the movie.
I just can't seem to remember what this movie's called.
All I remember is that it's from around 2000-2009. The "bad guy" puts up surveillance cameras in a woman's house, he becomes friends with her, helps her carry grocery bags etc.
Apparently he kicks her husband off of a horse too...
It's an English speaking movie, the husband of the family works with computers somehow, and the "bad guy" wants his help to steal some money. He installs some cameras in the family's home which the police then finds.
It's thriller/drama.
Friends have been suggesting "Firewall" but that's not it. Please help!
It was a movie seen on Comedy Central years back made around the late 80s early 90s. It was about a man that traveled through portals to catch a demon/devil woman to redeem himself since he wasn't a very good person when he died. He accidentally slept with the demon woman & then tried to kill her which hurt her feelings/ made her mad. Chasing her through a portal He ends up at a house with teenagers/ early 20s. He hits on one of the girls and tells her he invented condoms or birth control or something like that when they go through a portal and end up stranded somewhere in the desert. I don't remember much else.
I saw this movie on TV sometime between 1981 and 1984 and have been wondering for 30 years about its title and actors. I was just a young kid and am not sure I saw the beginning. There is a girls' only boarding school (teenagers). It might be set in a wooded area, but I can't remember for sure. The headmistress talks about girls escaping to an employee and how they have to make sure they don't escape (implying no one wants to be there). One girl has a secret boyfriend, who she plans to meet in the gardening shed at night when it's dark. Strange to have a boyfriend because there are no teen guys around otherwise, just the adult employees of the boarding school and the teen girls. Someone kills her, and I think the camera pans to the dirt floor of the gardening shed, implying she was buried there. There's another girl. I think she is meeting the boyfriend? She has to hide in an unused furnace (or wall pipe that carries heat from a fire) to not get caught and in trouble for meeting the boyfriend. Of course then someone starts the fire. I think she gets out in time, not sure. I was so nervous about it as a little kid watching this. There's another girl in the main foyer late at night. Maybe also to meet the boyfriend? Not sure. Someone grabs her hair from behind with a knife to her throat (thick dark hair with some curl, probably brown eyes) and her death is implied. You never see who the killer is of course.
At the end, the headmistress goes up to the attic one night to talk to her teen son Louis (Lewis?) who is always to be kept away from the girls. He might be the headmistress' secret. He is the cute boyfriend of all these missing girls. She finds he has a very old corpse of one of the "escaped girls" lying on a plank that he dotes on. Very creepy. He's clearly crazy and the killer. Somehow he locks the headmistress up there and now has the keys to the entire place. Cue ending. I was so scared trying to process this as a maybe 7 or 10 yo kid.
I really want to know what this movie is and who was in it. Any clues?
Hi Jackelope! Is the film called "The House That Screamed"?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064888/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Hope that helps!
I saw a movie in the early 90s, and it was probably a crappy B movie on Lifetime or USA network. It was set in modern times in a suburban/city setting.
The key scene I remember is a man swimming in a pool during the night and the wheelchair-bound villain rolling up to the pool side to start a conversation. The villain and man start arguing, which ends with the villain brandishing a plugged in power tool and threatening the swimming man. Finally, the villain tosses the power tool into the pool, electrocuting the swimmer.
This thread is a godsend (I hope). I don't know why this scene suddenly popped into my head, but it's been bugging me for a month. I cannot remember the movie. It would most likely be from the late fifties or early sixties. The main character, a writer I think, is accused of killing his wife. (I think he actually did it.) The wife's father is a rich, very well-dressed older man. They are talking on the roof of the writer's apartment building and he sits on the ledge with his back to the father. I am thinking this is in New York City. The father touches the writer's back with the tip of his cane. As they talk he applies more pressure, obviously trying to push him off. But the conversation ends and they leave the rooftop. I thought the father was Lloyd Nolan but I can't find anything in his filmography that fits. I though the name of the film was "American Story" or "American Tragedy", but obviously that's not right either because I can't find any films with that name that fit.
HELP! For some awful reason this is driving me crazy. :)
Okay I’ve searched for hours but I can’t find this movie.
I remember it was about a little kid who was diagnosed with brain cancer and knew he’d die soon. I remember a scene when he was lying on his bead and his face was to the pillow. his father told him "stop it" so he told him "I'm going to die anyway".
I remember him and his father (I think) going out on some journey. they asked some guy for directions. the guy made them go on a blocked road and came after them, showed them a knife and stole their money
their car was stolen also. I remember they they stopped for some guy who needed a ride. they were chatting. he told them about his wife and that she had breast cancer and the kid told him that he has brain cancer. they stopped (can't remember why), the boy and his father stepped down from the car and the guy stole the car.
I remember the kid on his father’s back. the father shouts I’m a moron and the kid replies gee up moron.
they enter a bar. and there’s some game of a pistol duel (the guy has a pistol in his pocked, the guy in the game counts to 3 and you should shoot him on 3) the father tried a lot but couldn't win.
…in the end the kid died. the father got back to that bar, played again and won and walked away and the bar tender asked him “don’t you want your money” but he didn't reply.
I want information about two films as a start!
1. This film was probably made in the 1980’s. It had the word ‘mission’ in its title. It was set in the American west. The two characters I remember were Chade Clay and Morgan- an African American.
2. The other film was made in the same era I saw it in 1988. it was on in one of the British TV channels on the 25th of august 1988 I came into the hotel room I was staying at and saw only part of it. It ended with a quotation written on the screen ‘mid pleasures and places though may we roam … there is no place like home’
2. The other film was made in the same era I saw it in 1988. It ended with a quotation written on the screen ‘mid pleasures and places though may we roam … there is no place like home’
I couldn't find the movie but I found a similar quote in several places on the internet:
Mid pleasure and places though we may roam.
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home..
The author may be Henry Bishop.
Hope this helps.
The movie I'm looking for must have been filmed in the 70s or early 80s. Set in the current time, english speaking.
A guy stops outside a house to cool himself with some water. A woman comes out crying "He's back, I told you he'd return", she's mistaken him for her missing son. The guy tries to explain but in the end he decides to play along and stay with her, pretending to be her son. The woman also has a daughter. She never believed that this was her brother but also played along for her mother's sake. In the end she tells him that she knows that her brother won't be coming back because she killed him. Accidently. He was making fun of her, she threw him a rock that hit him in the head. She hid his dead body in a dry well or an old fuel tank.
I think the fake son and the daughter fell in love...
Hi everyone, this forum is an excellent find.
I am trying to find a movie that I saw in the late 80's or early 90's. It was about an electrician who did some work in an attractive female neighbours house but also installed a spy camera into her bedroom. She eventually discovered the camera, but instead of reporting him she began bringing men home to 'perform' for him. They continue in this way, with each 'performance' more daring than the last until, i think, the electricians wife finds out.
That's all i can remember but i have been trying to find this film for years so any help would be greatfully recieved.
Many thanks!
Found it. The father was Lloyd Nolan. And the movie is See You in Hell, Darling (1961) starring Stuart Whitman as a radio talk show host. The reason I had so much trouble finding it is that after the movie failed at the box office, it was retitled from the original which was — An American Dream.
Case solved. :)

Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!
Disney put out a DVD of this recently with missing scenes restored and reinserted.
I need help finding this movie. This movie features a magical nanny to 3 teenaged kids- 2 boys and a girl and their dog.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks
During the Blitz, the Rawlings children, Charlie, Carrie, and Paul, are evacuated to the Dorset village of Pepperinge Eye. They are placed in the care of Eglantine Price, a reclusive woman who reluctantly takes them in. Ms. Price is actually an apprentice witch and a student of the Correspondence College of Witchcraft, hoping her magic can bring the war to an end. She receives a broomstick from the college, though her attempt to fly it ends with her crashlanding. The children observe her, Charlie challenging her skills, prompting Ms. Price to briefly transform him into a white rabbit, and being chased by Ms. Price's Cat "Cosmic Creepers". Cosmic Creepers corners Charlie, but Charlie reverts to his normal form before he is harmed. Deciding to form an agreement with the children, Ms. Price enchants a bedknob, which will transport them to any location when attached to her father’s antique bed, giving ownership to Paul.
I'm having trouble working this website, maybe because I'm browsing with my phone. It is!!! I'm soo excited. Thanks a lot
please help with this movie:
I think it is from the late 90's or for sure before 2009.
It is about a student young woman and a detective. All along the movie we think the former boyfriend or anyway a male friend of the girl is a murder. The girl and the detective (or teacher, I don't remember :( ) like each other.
The detective finds an old house, they're are together in a basement I think. Then she starts to behave like if there is her former boyfriend and he is dangerous and is going to kill her, so the detective tries to protect her, but at the end it is she is the killer and she kills the detective.
After that (at the end) we can see her elegant in an office, graduated, and she is asking someone (boss I guess) a push on the job, or some advantage. She is trying to seduce him while asking the favor but he doesn't fall and she gets angry and she throws him through the window.
does anyone know the title? :-( I thought the actress was Katie Holmes but I already checked her movies and I couldn't find this one :-(
Plot: A couple decide to do a spot of wife swapping with another random couple they find in the personals. They don't enjoy it and decide they won't continue but the random couple start stalking them (might even kidnap their kids?). One of the male leads is an Australian actor (I think) but the movie is American.
Made in the last 20 years I think.
Any ideas?

Abandon (2002)
starring Katie Holmes and Benjamin Bratt
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267248/
I've watched this a number of times. I'm not sure why. Since I have only Encore and Starz, sometimes viewing is limited.
EDIT: Why can some people leave a synopsis, but I was told that I couldn't do that? I'm very confused because it helps people know whether or not it's their movies.
This is the only site I know where I was told I can't use a synopsis from IMDb or Wikipedia, even when I leave a link to the site as a source.
New to this forum but i thought i would give this a try.
Might not be a lot of description but ill do my best.
This one or two scenes are stock in my head from when i was a young kid so im talking late 80's early 90's.
i believe the start of the movie is in a parking lot (night time). From what i remember its 2 guys jumping on cars maybe even with some sort of superpowers and one of them is trying to get away. The one guy has somewhat long hair maybe a long leather coat (pretty sure the other guy has some long leather coat on as well) and seem to always find the guy who is trying to hide in between the cars? and it does have to do with some blood sucking or hunting the other guy down for something, maybe some potion or red liquid lol... Im pretty sure it was a scary movie and i wasnt allowed to watch it at the time so i only remember parts of it.
There might also be another part to this (not sure if this is from the same movie). Its just this same dude with the long hair walking towards a house with some people in it and i think he gets in somehow and kills them the same way he killed the other guy in the parking lot. Also at night time and the guy might even possibly have some kind of a weapon...
Im pretty suer its under horror.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Can anyone remember the name of a movie from the 90's. I watched it only once and did not catch the name. It was a fiction film, a ship falls on to earth and the military will seek for aliens, but who makes contact is an ex-military dude. But that was not really an ugly monster type alien, was a very hot babe from another planet, explaining to the guy that her race is suffering from a degenerative genetic disease that ends the life energy of her body, and she came here to seek healing. Detail: to "recover energy" and rebuild their genetic structure she needs to have sex every 24 hours, and one side effect is that the degeneration affects appearance genes. Each time they had sex, she changes her appearance, Blonde, Red, black, Asian. The dream of every man. PS. believe me, I saw this movie and it exists
Greetings!
I remember seeing a movie on a home viewing system sometime between 1997-1999 and I'm thinking it came out in the 90's. I only remember one scene, where there are 3 or 4 teens hijacking a purple 60's Volkswagen Beetle and taking it for a joyride through town to the desert outskirts where they abandon the car due to mechanical damage. I believe there were 2 girls and 2 guys, and they were running away from some authority figure. I know it is not any of the Love Bug films or Walkabout. Please help, and thank you in advance!
Each time they had sex, she changes her appearance,
I've never seen it, but I know the answer:
Dead Weekend (1995 cable movie)
starring Stephen Baldwin
IMDb review excerpt:
Set in the "not-too distant future", martial law has been declared in The City in leu of a looming earthquake. However, the earthquake is merely a ruse, a story fed to the public so the TWF (True World Forces) can capture an alien spotted over the city some few days earlier. A TWF agent runs into the alien (a *hottie* who can change her apperance, while always remaining – of course – a hottie), and the two go off and, um, compare their respective physiologies (yeah, that's it).
that's the movie! thank you very much MystMoonstruck ^_^
You're welcome! It is rather an interesting film, keeping the viewer guessing for a while.
The one guy has somewhat long hair maybe a long leather coat (pretty sure the other guy has some long leather coat on as well) and seem to always find the guy who is trying to hide in between the cars?

Hi madetolove,
"On our Own" involves 4 orphans taking their mum's VW after she dies. These review might confirm if this is the right film.
I'm trying to remember a movie I saw a few years ago and I'm a little fuzzy on the details but I remember parts where the guy is trying to be a good guy for once and save these people in the building from the bad guys. the building may be on fire and they may be trapped in a safe or something. I also remember them showing in a scene the guy talking to his wife or ex wife and telling her hes ok while shes watching a news broadcast of the event the guys stuck in. Sorry for the fuzzy details but please help?
the guy is trying to be a good guy for once and save these people in the building from the bad guys
This sounds like Die Hard
Thanks Ron12! It is the film not the poem which I seek. Many members find what they want only a few hours after starting a thread. Five days have passed and I haven't found anything . Thanks again for trying to help me !
Hello everybody!
Any ideas on this?
-Horror movie released before late 90s (when I think i saw it).
-Something about some young "scientists" "killing" each other, one in a turn, just to wake their friend up from the dead in the next minute. This because they want to "see the light" and so on. When they manage to get their friends heart to a standstill they wait for like 1 minute, which they've decided in advance, then they do some sort of resurrection and the friend wakes up. Then the other wants to try to.
-Something about a guy getting his girlfriends face tattooed on his stomach. Big "complications", bleeding and "life" from the tattoo.
Not much but I believe in you!
Thanks // J.
I am trying to find the name of a movie from the early 1980's. It was a movie about a little girl that moved in with a relative in a nice apartment. I think her parents divorced or died. She was not happy about it and ran away. She met up with some other young run aways and they moved in to an abandoned building. I remember they all created their own little spaces in the building. They put together inventions that they used like pulley systems to open doors and such. The girl I remember did move back to the apartment towards the end. Any help would be appreciated.
Obsessed aka Hitting Home (1988 TV movie)
starring Kerrie Keane, Daniel Pilon, Saul Rubinek
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093196/
Wow that is awesome. Thank you very much!
Wow that is awesome. Thank you very much!
You're welcome! I saw it a couple of times years ago and always remembered it. I could swear that it was shown with a different title, but those were the only ones listed.
Trying to find the name of a movie probably made in the 70's. It's in a fantasy world (medieval with witches and spells). A God or a King as a daughter that he has to get married. There are 2 young candidates, the hero and the villain. They have to go on a quest to accomplish difficult tasks and solve riddles in order to get a key or a crown (the one who gets the key of crown can marry the princess). They begin their journey by passing through gigantic stone doors that open to a valley and some kind of other world.
I think the hero gets a white horse from the King... The villain seems to be helping the hero until one point where they have to go down a well to get something. When they get what they need, the villain leaves the hero in the bottom of the well.
At one time I thing the hero loses his horse in a swamp but I'm not sure. Then he gets to a black witche's cabin, and I think he has to solve a riddle.
In the end the hero has to fight the villain and succeeds to get back to the world of the princess with the item he needs to marry her.
Sorry for the vague details, but I was very young when I saw the movie. Thanks!
That is the one!! Thanks !
You're welcome! I thought it sounded very familiar. Once I watched the trailer, I felt fairly certain that it's "I Come in Peace".
I am trying to remember a movie i liked but i can't. Also i don't have much. I will post it anyway and maybe somebody thinks of something. It's a movie of the 60's, black and white. Most likely european. It's shot in a house, two men and one woman (i think brunette). That's all. I know it's not much but thanks anyway. It's not a comedy
Hi!
I'm looking to identify a movie:
- It's a medieval/fantasy setting.
- It was possibly shot in the 1980's?
- A character kisses or falls in love with a girl with short hair (tomboy-ish) in the forest.
- A nobleman/king is turned to stone and lies on his back. I think that if the person he loves kisses him, the stone curse will be removed. His wife kneels by his side and kisses him, but he does not return to normal. He cries a round stone tear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Well this is a long shot but...
I saw a film in the mid 90s in French but it could have been a Belgian film. Basic plot was:
2 former child stars (now adults) plan on taking some girl (who they're pretending is their daughter) sell to a brothel. They change their mind on the verge of the sale and end up fleeing into Spain. It's kind of a road film about them traveling through France.
Not withstanding the above, it was actually a comedy. Any help would ease decades of annoyance. I seem to recall the title being something to do with the name of the main characters but it was a long time ago!
Does anyone know the name of an American movie made and set in the 80's about a group of college age people spending the summer at a beach house? I don't remember if they were there working or if they were vacationing. The female character is somewhat reserved and a "good girl" type and the male is popular and a "bad boy". It's one of those "girl likes a boy, boy doesn't know she exists" kind of movies. At the end of the movie... as everyone is getting ready to leave the house for the season, the guy realizes he is in love with the girl. I want to say the word "Shangri-la" was in the title but I'm not 100%.
Co-workers think I'm nuts, but I swear this was a movie so I need some help here. All I remember was at the very end or near the end of the movie a man and some children dress up in crazy outfits and chase a Google street view car. It may have even been one of those snip-its AFTER the movie they sometimes show during the credits???
That's all I remember. Some thought the man may have been Vince Vaugn and the movie possibly "Delivery Man", but I watched the trailer on IMDB and it's not looking familiar.
Saw a movie preview in roughly around Jan 24 with a soundtrack that sounded like Rihanna, tried to google it but can't find it..
It looked like a either sad drama or a feel good drama.. and I think someone had a terminal disease in it?? HELP ME PLEASE!!
Alright, I certainly hope you folks can help with this one. I remember seeing it in the mid to late eighties...basically from what I remember is it's a highschool (or possibly a college, hazy after all) where the students take over. One scene in particular I remember was on woman being forced to disrobe as an "entrance exam" or something. Trying not to be too graphic to stick to the rules. I know, not much to go on. I know for a fact it wasn't a troma film though...
Hope you have more luck than I!

Could that have been FAME?
Sadly, doubt it. Movie I'm thinking of was much more violent and gritty, actual on screen nudity, etc. Can't for the life of me remember more about it though
I am looking for the name of a mid-90's movie shown on SBS.
It's sort of an Asian style western with a young boy trained in the use of twin swords. He carries these swords, one in each boot.
He is sent to a village in a desert and somehow a group of bandits want to attack the town (don't they always)
The bandit leader is something like "one-blow" or "one-strike" because he always kills on the first hit.
There might also be another part to this (not sure if this is from the same movie). Its just this same dude with the long hair walking towards a house with some people in it and i think he gets in somehow and kills them the same way he killed the other guy in the parking lot.
This could be Demon Knight, the first of the Tales from the Crypt movies.

you are amazing! Thank you for that, been looking to remember what this was called forever, almost sure that I'd just made it up!
This is a fairly modern looking movie, but it could be from the 80's or last year.
It's a teen romance/sex comedy, in English, set in a U.S. city.
A late teenage, almost college age, boy moves in with his father, a philandering gold-digger who has married a rich woman. The woman has an attractive, blonde daughter about the same age as the teen, who is now the son's step-sister. They all live in what looks like a multistory apartment building, except that whole building is their mansion, complete with butler, chauffeur, maid, cook, etc.
The step-sister is the leader of a clique at her private school, as well as being the student body president, although only a junior. She's pretentious, and becomes irritated when her new step-brother shows her up in both piano playing and vocabulary on the very day he moves in.
The teen takes a liking to a female student as the private school he is now forced to attend, who turns out to be the daughter of the school director. She comes across as a down-to-earth type. The teen begins to court her, the step-sister finds out, and makes fun of him. He doesn't want any interference from his step-sister, and a rivalry ensues.
It starts to look like the typical boy-gets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl back movie.
The step-sister tries to sabotage his relationship by having some of her friends come over, spend the night, and join him unannounced in the rather large shower the next morning. They look like they could be sisters, are both pretty and very well-endowed, and make a point of flaunting themselves in the shower with him, including flirting and making out with each other. When they leave, with a smirk, they toss a hand towel onto his new towel rack.
The stepmother acts more than a little flirty with him. He catches his father fooling around with another woman on a yacht, and the next thing, that woman is coming onto him as well. Temptation is everywhere. He manages to stay out of trouble, because he thinks he is in love with the school director's daughter.
They date, they make out, but it looks like it could be a several months long courtship before they might go all the way. She start teasing him sexually, but is somewhat tentative. He wants to be a gentleman, and so doesn't pressure her, but it is getting to him. The step-sister is betting that the sexual frustration will drive him crazy and he won't be able to hold out.
The step-sister has a friend gather information on his activities at previous schools, and finds out he is not the well-mannered person he acts like, having gotten into various sorts of trouble in the past. She makes a last attempt to mess up his courtship by appearing in a fishnet dress and trying to seduce him herself, telling him that he is as bad a person as she is. They make out passionately and he almost caves. He tears himself away, and leaves, to go meet the director's daughter, who is at home alone, her father being away on a trip for the day.
Somehow, the step-sister beats him there and hides in a closet. The director's daughter leads him on, but then tells him that she sees no future in the relationship. Here is where it takes a radical departure from the boy-gets-girl trope. The step-sister pops out of the closest, and they both laugh him out, because the director's daughter is her good friend and has been pretending to be a 'good girl'. He admits to flat losing in the conflict with his step-sister, but it all turns out OK when they invite him to have a threesome.
["This is a fairly modern looking movie, but it could be from the 80's or last year." ...]
This sounds a lot like Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair.
No, it's actually Cruel Intentions 2 (2000).

I do not know when this movie was made but I think I saw it about 10 yrs ago...
Hi there,
I'm looking for a movie that was probably made in the seventies. I only remember the end of it where a couple are in a roller-disco and the girl is being taken back up to heaven as she is an angel. The guy is understandably upset as he's in love with her and doesn't want her to go. It's not "Date with an Angel" as it was definitely made earlier and included a roller disco. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.

Xanadu (1980)
starring Olivia Newton John, Michael Beck, Gene Kelly
IMDb synopsis:
The Greek muses incarnate themselves on Earth to inspire men to achieve. One of them, incarnated as a girl named Kira, encounters an artist named Sonny Malone. With the help of Danny McGuire, a man Kira had inspired forty years earlier, Sonny builds a huge disco roller rink.
I'm trying to remember the name of a movie about an inventor of gadgets. At the start he is delivering newspapers with a machine on a car (I think a moke). The machine even makes the newspapers into paper airplanes.
I think it was an 80s movie.
Inspector Gadget? It starred Matthew Broderick but it was made in '99.

It reminds me of "Honey I shrunk the kids". He was an inventor making many funny machines that usually didn't work.
I have only just found this Thread. I have spent hours on google and IMDB looking for a movie some 20 or maybe 30 years old.
Set in the US...the story is about a Fire Department and other Rescue Persons and an aircraft crash...somebody chooses to "wear" a red suit (could be a Sants Claus suit) as a means of being "obvious" to surviving crash victims.
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks............\\\
I'm new here, thanks for your time...
I've only seen part of this film but I ran into a friend who has been obsessed with finding the title for several years.
Probably a film noir, about a sleazy American GI who returns to a town where he served during WWII. There is a local policeman keeping an eye on him while he tries to search a hotel about to be torn down. I believe that the soldier had hidden diamonds in the ceiling or a ceiling light fixture many years earlier.
Sound familiar, anyone?
Thanks!
I'm new here and hoping that someone can help me! I've had a movie on my mind for several years and haven't been able to come up with anything on Google. I saw it around 40 years ago. I believe it was a 1950s B-rated Sci Fi movie. The only thing that I can remember (and scared me to death at the time) is that several people were walking underground, through a cave presumably, and looking at the walls. The camera panned over to the walls of the cave and there were faces of people embedded in the wall. They almost looked plastic but, if I remember correctly, they were people who were killed by something/someone...I'm thinking it was some sort of electric process that made them part of the rock. It was really creepy! I appreciate any help that you can give...I wish that I remembered more!
I believe this is Wild, Wild Planet. It's a really freaky Italian horror-sci fi that I think is part of either a trilogy or a quadrilogy. There's a mad genetic scientist who experiments on people and keeps them in a weird cave/dungeon place. It's a disturbing hoot.
There's also a chance that this could be Barbarella... there's an exterior scene where she's walking with an angel (or perhaps a scientist played by Marcel Marceau) and people are embedded into the wall. Hopefully this is the movie... it's a lot easier to find than Wild, Wild Planet.

Well, I can't be all that helpful except to say that you're not crazy. I've seen this, or part of it, but I can't remember what it is. There's a character who, early on, dresses up and performs for the Google street car. At the end several others join in.
Co-workers think I'm nuts, but I swear this was a movie so I need some help here. All I remember was at the very end or near the end of the movie a man and some children dress up in crazy outfits and chase a Google street view car. It may have even been one of those snip-its AFTER the movie they sometimes show during the credits???
Hi all,
The movie was set in the 80-90s at most. I would say Los Angeles. Vampire-comedy.
A blond woman lives/moves in a flat and finds a vampire asleep – wakes him up. They get to know each other, the last time he was awake was in the 19th century, they fall in love. They go to a party of her friends. He decides to quit being a vampire and stops drinking blood, starts with food again.
A year later, he is (about to be) fully human again and very well adapted to our world, to the point that she finds him boring.
Then his vampire companion (a dark tall woman) wakes up too and it starts a fight.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Maybe "Love bites"?

Just a guess, but this may be the same film I mentioned above, or from one of its sequels. Wild, Wild Planet, an Italian sci fi/horror film. There are these bald henchmen characters in black trench coats and sunglasses that turn out to have four arms. There is an evil scientist who is all about mutations. Otherwise it's set in the (cheesy) future and people are shrunk down, etc.
Greetings. I'm looking for the title of a movie I watched either in the 60s or very early 70s. In the movie I recall men with 4 arms that act as bullies/guards. In another scene, a family is walking in what looks like a huge warehouse and suddenly from above, 4 walls followed by the roof, falls around them, trapping them all. Immediately upon this happening, someone on the outside walks over to the structure and turns a valve on that injects a gas inside and eventually the people inside develop horrible skin lesions and begin to mutate. Sorry I have no more information. Those scenes haunt me since I was a child. Thanks for you help. JeanLui
Hi everyone! I saw a movie i think 6 years ago about two teenagers (brothers?) that somehow went in a place where people and dinosaurs coexisted and humans used dinosaurs for transportation. I think they got separated at some point because of a wizard that lured one of them to follow him. Magic was involved and it looked a bit like steampunk movie. (If anyone here is from Greece used to be on star channel every easter). Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am trying to find a movie I watched on TV, or VCR long time ago and would love if someone knew the title name. I believe the movie was released around the 80s, now sure exacly when.
The movie is about about a crazy, vulgar, and i think a bit uneducated family (Parents, around 3 boys and a girl, most of them teenagers) moving to a new neighbourhood of higher class families. Perhaps the family got the new house as inheritance, i'm not sure. I remember a scene where one the boys in the family wanted a new car, and since they cant afford it, they hooked a plan to blackmail a mature married neighbour who is a banker. They used photos, that had secretly been taken, of their attractive sister seduces him in his garage after being impressed by his car. Most of the movie is about the interaction and situations between the the lower class family and the higher ones.
I dont remember much more, but I'd be happy if someone remembers the name of the movie and could share.
A film I haven't been able to find the name of:
Its set in a post-apocalyptic future where life has returned to simple villages and farming without technology. The people have develop mental powers like telepathy, telekinetics, etc.
A guy who was cryogenically frozen, because he had a terminal illness. He is awoken and operated on with psychic powers. Reaching directly into his body with a bare hand, while using telepathy to control his mind/pain.
They need him to re-activate old technology to shoot down what they tell him is an asteroid. However at the last minute he discovers that it is a spaceship returning to Earth full of people. They say these are the politicians, scientists and engineers that killed the planet, only to leave in their spaceships.
Hello... I have a what I think is a tough one.
Probably black and white – Film noir? – Set in the '40s? Saw it on Tv in the 70's.
Two brothers in love with the same woman.
The evil one frames the good one by concealing the knife inside a pull with which they would call the butler so that his fingerprints would be on it.
The evil one ends up suicide throwing himself at a knife which he places in the door hinge after the brother has left his fingerprints on it so that he'd get framed.
Thanks.

I watched a movie in the late 1980's about the end of days with a nuclear explosion possibly set in Russia. There was a thin female character with long black hair and a large tattoo on her back. She was possibly Asian. The woman followed others warning them of the end of days. There was a scene of her sitting on a rock or mattress with her long hair pulled over her shoulder showing the tattoo on her back.
There is one scene I remember: After the nuclear bomb sets off, a couple is barricaded in their apartment. The woman insists on looking at the aftermath of the bomb going off. She removes a mattress from the barricaded window and her face becomes scorched by bomb's thermal blast.

Hi All,
Does anyone remember the name of a Sci-Fi movie, probably from the '80's that had about 6 strangely shaped hot air balloons in the last scene? It was in a desert type environment on an alien planet with the 2 survivors of some battle, a man and woman in their 20's.
One of the balloons was in the shape of a new moon, another a sun etc. I had seen these same balloons one afternoon around 1987 flying together over the San Francisco Bay and never forgot them. Then I caught the end of a movie a couple of years later and saw the exact same balloons but couldn't catch the name and no DVR's at that time.
I have been searching since then to find the movie but never could, Can anyone help?
TIA in advance for any help,
2ninup

Ok, I saw this film not so long ago (about two years or something), I do not know the exact year of release, but sure is between 2000 and 2010 (between 2005-2010 if I have to take a guess) and the story of the film takes place in this same era.
The film starts by showing a woman kidnapping a baby from a hospital, then the story gets shifted some years into the future. A group of friends is having a reunion when a group of criminals break into the house (wich is the house they lived as kids), the hole story is set in this house and showing the group of friends being held as hostages. After some time the captors call their mom (who is their leader, and the woman who kidnapped the baby on the first scene), the captors need money to escape from the country and the story goes on in this scenary.
There is a very remarkable scene where one of the captors crushes a hostage hand with a snooker ball to make him confess about having money hidden in the house.
Hope you guys can help me, thanks a lot.
Hi, I'm new here. I'm looking for the title of a 3d animated film about five psyhic teens (two girls and three boys) with ability to control any living things. The main protagonist also have the ability too, but he's an adult and vow to never to use this ability again after killing his parents with this ability. He was working for his adoptive father who die at some point, and also have a step sister who took control of the his adoptive father's company. He found these five teens to bring them into this genius type of competition to bring them together. I could remember there was scene in a park, where the five teens was assaulted by two guys after which one of the teen fell into coma.
The other four teen then planned to control the president to exent revenge on everybody. In the end, the protagonist with the help of the teen which came out of coma stop them. The protagonist die while trying to save his pregnant wife from the leader. The movie ends with four of the teens (including the one which was in coma) continued to look for more teens with abilities like theirs, while the leader (not part of the group anymore) watches them from a hidden ally. Thanks you so much. I can go into more detail, but it would be too long, Thank you.
It's not an English-language film, but that sounds a hell of a lot like FLODDERS.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There are some sequels too.
The scene I remember was 2-3 people being trapped in a room. There were holes in the walls and sharpened poles would force through – triggered by noise.
Every word they spoke would bring more poles and push them further into the room. Pretty sure a guy gets stabbed.. and the screaming/scrambling of his friends made it worse D:
/edit was Krull.
Hey, all. I think it was in the 90s, there was a movie where a young Scottish boy is abruptly transplanted to a different country (?), and while walking to school one morning, is teased about his kilt by the local kids. He is given, and accepts, a dub step challenge, and completely owns them with some intimidatingly fierce highland footwork. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I saw a cop movie may be 15 years ago. Don't remember the main plot.
The side plot involves the rockie cop investigating an illegal brothel pretending to be a massage parlor. The rockie cop went inside trying to get the staff to say on record what type of services they offered, so he can arrest them. But the staff was smart and will not say clearly. The cop ended actually paying for a full service. hahaha.
In the early 80's there was a movie shown in my elementary school a couple of times. I estimate that it was produced in the mid to late 70s. It was about 2 or 3 children on a journey to find their father. I think that they were being mistreated or there was a threat that they would be separated. I think that there was a lot of countryside that they were traveling through. i think I remember there being a train ride and I think that the kids may have even being followed.
This might be hard because I only saw the preview of the movie in the 90s.
Its Medieval im pretty sure.
All i remember in the preview is a group of younger guys maybe older teens, mostly this blonde guy sword fighting grown men. Its not Hook.
So i think this will be easy, there are 4 guys, 3 mid age and 1 younger.
They all go to this old hotel where they hanged out when they were yunger, later that day they all went in jacuzzi and got realy drunk and they spilled a drink on the whires end the jacuzzi was actualy a portal which brought them back in time and they all do lots of crazy shit and so on, and they are all loking for the drink that was spilled over the whires so they can go back in they'r time.But when they finaly find it one of them decides to stay and they all meet him and he invested in all big things like google and he gave his friends what they all wished and could never have.

You're not thinking of Hot Tub Time Machine are you? It came out a year or two ago. Never saw it but just the title makes it a posssibility.
Thank you for answer me, i was searching for this movie since then, and never had found it. Now i can watch the film again
Hi everyone, this forum is an excellent find.
I am trying to find a movie that I saw in the late 80's or early 90's. It was about an electrician who did some work in an attractive female neighbours house but also installed a spy camera into her bedroom. She eventually discovered the camera, but instead of reporting him she began bringing men home to 'perform' for him. They continue in this way, with each 'performance' more daring than the last until, i think, the electricians wife finds out.
That's all i can remember but i have been trying to find this film for years so any help would be greatfully recieved.
Many thanks!
Its Medieval im pretty sure.
All i remember in the preview is a group of younger guys maybe older teens, mostly this blonde guy sword fighting grown men.
Could it be "A Knight's Tale?" Heath Ledger was very blond in that movie, and he always looked young.
No, Thanks though. Its going to be tough since all i saw was the preview, but I always wanted to seet the movie. I was young so I know it had to be in the 90s. It not Hook, or dragonheart.
I have a very vague movie synaposis.
Was done in the 1980's, Mom and son where living on a school bus when a gang came up, killed the mother and the boy ran away. A few years later, like 15 he came back to the small town, seem like it was out west and took vengence on them. was 6-7 guys with shotguns and he killed them all. A plot twist, one of the bad guys daughters was falling in love with the kid.
What was that movie with oculus glasses?
I remember early 80 or maybe 70
there was a film when a company release some glasses for customers and they try it to sell it but before...and the owner almost die and he left the lens glasses in house and when he return his boy use the glasses and I think he die
Its Medieval im pretty sure.
All i remember in the preview is a group of younger guys maybe older teens, mostly this blonde guy sword fighting grown men.
Could it be Timeline?
im not sure. Its not the same preview i saw when i was little but it matches up. But this movie looks pretty sweet so im going to watch it and find out

Plz help
hey guys i have a film i need to know what is it's name but its kinda hard to figure it out but hoping to find it out with you..
i will tell some segments of it that i remember:
it goes around a plot of 2 brothers who meet a girl and go out on an trip, most of the film has sexual content where the girl flirts with either of the 2 brothers [ the ages of the 2 brother i think is 17 and 20] and the girl is probably in the 20's..
the movie basically have many erotic and sexual content in it so its probably an R or x rated film,, also the film i think is french..
i know i didn't give any good details but hoping someone at least might have seen this

It sounds alot like Y Tu Mama Tambien..differences being the movie is Mexican and the boys are friends not brothers but very much the same plot.
Im guessing the movie was made between 2005 and 2009. The movie was set in modern times, in a busy city like New York or LA. The main character was an African american painter living with his hispanic best friend. The movie centered around him and his friend going out and doing heavy drugs, while this man struggled with his art. The friend ended up angering another man, and someone was shot and died in the end.

Except for that bit about getting shot, it sounds pretty much like BASQUIAT to me.
From foggler:
It was about 2 or 3 children on a journey to find their father.
This is a guess, as several came to mind.
Flight of the Doves (1971)
starring Jack Wild
IMDb synopsis:
After the death of their mother, two children in Liverpool run away from home to escape their cruel uncle who treats them harshly. They flee to Ireland in hopes of finding love and safety with their kindly grandmother. However, their uncle is a failed actor who is a master of disguise. He uses his skill to pursue them in hopes of finding them for his own financial gain. The children must rely on their wits and the kindness of strangers to stay ahead of him or their lives will be in mortal jeopardy.
Hi all,
What a great forum!
I'm looking for a Sci-Fi movie that must have come out around 1987-9 and the scene I remember is the very last one. A young 20ish man and woman survive a war possibly on an alien world in a desert like atmosphere and are standing by a big rock, then in the distance there are about 6 or so hot air balloons of various really odd, strange shapes, one is a gold, thin new moon, one is a yellow sun and the rest are similar to those.
I actually saw these balloons in about 1987 over the San Francisco Bay one afternoon and of course never forgot them because they were so freaky looking, then I saw caught the very end of a movie and there they were. the exact same ones, probably just coming from or doing the shooting itself.
So, it's not Around the world in 80 days like was the response many times the last place I posted this, it's a Sci-Fi flick, alien desert like world, possible a B movie.
Thank you for taking the time to ponder this, I have since 1989!
I did not see a place to click on for a new post all I saw was the reply at the top of the screen and I have a feeling that is wrong but a movie just popped into my head and I can't think of the name or 1 star. It starts out with soldiers in the jungle doing something for the government like take out some drug dealer and they complete their task at hand but they find a bunch of kids where the drug dealer was so they rescue the kids and bring them with to the extraction point, a helicopter arrives to take them back to the USA but there is not enough room for everybody so they put the kids on the chopper and they will hump it out, well as the chopper takes off it blows up with all of the kids inside of it, so now our stars are presumed dead and can't get can't back into the USA so they are living somewhere in south america or mexico and the leader is approached by a woman who says she can get them back to the usa and smuggles them thru the border in caskets as dead people I believe, she has a job for them to do by stealing something from an armored car and I also remember towards the end of the movie our leader of the group is on a crane at some port, the type of crane they use to unload container ships and the bad guy is up there with him waiting for a helicopter to pick him up and he is holding some type of grenade or a detonator with a dead man's switch. I also now remember sometime in the middle of the movie the bad guy is getting 3 or 4 scientists to make something for him and when the middle eastern scientists want more money he has his tough guy henchman kill one of the scientists to show he means business. I hope someone can help me remember this cause it is driving me crazy and I know it is not the A-Team but that movie keeps jumping in my head when I try to figure this one out. Thank you for any help.
I was going to say The Saint too

Its called " the Losers"
WHAT's the MOVIE?
-80's comedy
i only remember one part, near the end i think. there was a group of guys, aged 20 to 30?...maybe 5 or 6 of them at a small crappy, unpopulated private type airport, maybe in mexico. and i think one of them was supposed to get married soon...perhaps that day and they were all hungover from the previous bachelor party/night. for some reason 1 or 2 of the guys were up in the sky in a small plane ready to skydive and the guys/friends on the ground realized they/he didnt have proper parachute (i think) so they were down on the ground trying to signal the plane by spelling it out with clothing, sheets and their bodies.
not much to go on, help me if you can...thanks
"Co-workers think I'm nuts, but I swear this was a movie so I need some help here. All I remember was at the very end or near the end of the movie a man and some children dress up in crazy outfits and chase a Google street view car. It may have even been one of those snip-its AFTER the movie they sometimes show during the credits???"
i saw that happen on the sitcom with mathew perry called "go on" i believe it was within the first four episodes of season 1
one of the "kids" was black and mathew wanted to cheer him up....when they saw the google camera car go by...the whole group (not an AA meeting but something like it) all grabbed another groups props (costumes & swords, etc) and chased the car down the street.
thats got to be what you saw...sorry, not a movie
Ok I remember seeing this movie some six or seven years ago. I don't remember a lot only that there was a house full of insane deformed humans. One was a man in a wheelchair and his head was stretched, it hung over the back of his chair. I also remember something about a convenience store and a bullet belt. I'm sorry if my description was horrible but if anyone has any idea what movie this is please let me know!
SCI FI MOVIE set in London I think...group of friends stay overnight at a house the next morning all power stops...alien invasion....aliens take the form of humans...
The friends save a woman who turns out to be an alien...she escapes...
Next thing she is on tv as a newscaster telling people to remain calm...that's it..

The movie is called Fandango
Hi, I need to know the name of a teenage foreign film (not sure what language) about a group of teenagers who visit a creepy old house inhabited by a deranged man who stoking them and converting the teens into wax mannequins. I saw a clip of this movie on YouTube and I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me the name of this movie. The name of the clip on YouTube is called "deranged man turns teens into wax mannequins" again your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Tough one here:
Movie (TV?) released and set in late 1970's or early 1980's.
Scene:
African-American cop (Gregory Hines?)
In a gun shop?
Searching for information about a weapon?
Is introduced to a man in a wheelchair who, "...is just back from Rhodesia."
Man in wheelchair says, "...when they come out of the hut, you just pick and choose, pick and choose."

I checked the clip and the uploader says in his profile "I see the concept of PETRIFICATION as a beautiful art form", people ask him where he got his clips but he never answers. It makes me think that they're amateur movies. The language is Dutch, if it helps you narrow down your search. Sorry for not being much help. :(
I should know this one! It was the film where a group of people are having dinner and one reveals/claims to have lived forever. Can give more details, but they might be spoilers. Something like The Last Supper, but it wasn't.

Sorryyyyy. I didn't know :P
Sci Fi movie either 2000/2001. This one might be a TV movie.. A man falls off his boat into the sea and enters a parallel universe. (I think there was a storm, and he might have fell into a whirlpool, although not really sure about the whirlpool). He goes back to his small town (it's a town by the sea).. and everyone he has known (friends, girlfriend?) there is completely opposite personality-wise. The good turn bad, and the bad turn good. So basically everyone is suddenly evil there except an old man (who was really mean and evil in the other world where he was from). I think the townspeople try to kill him or something, and the old man helps him get back home. They both go out to sea on a boat, and there is another storm.. He jumps in and bops back up to his old universe, where everyone is nice and normal, except that old man.
Hi all, this is my 1st post, so, be nice ;)
I am trying to find out a name of a film not mainstream. From what i remember is about a Asian detective hired to figure out about some weird crimes, probably by wolfs of some kind. The detective uses a samurai sword as a weapon and has some real strong powers (not conventional ones).
I remember that the cover or back over of the DVD had some 6/7 rice farmer "floating" over water (it a scene from the movie itself, where they appear from under water in a small bay/beach...
The Detective wears usually white
THANK YOU ALL
Hi everyone. I just found this forum after searching and searching for a name of a movie/documentary that I watched only 4 years ago but have NO CLUE as to the title. So, here goes!
I do not recall if it was a movie or a documentary, or a mix. The story followed a poor family that lived near the sea.
Father and son were salt farmers who would go daily out in their small boat and use poles and hands to bring salt from under the water into the boat. At the end of the day they would take it to a huge pile of salt where all the workers would dump their loads of salt. All the work was very manual, no machines used.
The daughter of the family caught and sold fish from the beach near the village they lived in. She'd wander through the village, door to door.
1. Black & White film which was possibly shot in the 1960s (I could be way off here, though).
2. Set sometime between 1930-1960 (very rough estimate, sorry).
3. I believe it was set in the Mediterranean area.
Thank you for helping me! :)
I am trying to remember this movie where at the beginning the people live in a city and are linked in to a virtual world. This girl gets kicked out of the city and placed in the desert. There are bandits in the desert, who capture her and take her to some mining tunnels as a slave. The leader wheres a mask I think, and she eventually kills him and becomes the new leader.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a movie about a hispanic girl living in America whose father is a wealthy widower. She falls in love with a boy who isn't wealthy after he takes her to see the 'slum side' of town. She's loves swimming. And she has her quincinera in the film.
I think it may have been set in California, modern day. I think it was released in the 90s or early 2000s. It may have been a made-for-TV movie – I'm not sure as I saw it in South Africa.
In the last scene, she and the boy she falls in love with, end up in the swimming pool together and kiss underwater.
I would really love to find out what it is and watch it again!
Thanks for your help!
Hey guys, I am trying to remember a movie I was watching as a kid in an old philips 2000 video player.
I am pretty sure it was an asian movie, probably 70s – 80s, involving a red robot that its arms could detach and punch the enemies (other robots probably). I do not remember much of the plot, but I remember a scene in a mine, so there is this old guy, kind of a mentor to the main actor, who gets captured or surrenders to the bad guys and they put him in the mine to dig for a redish ore – crystal like thing. At some he used a powder (crushed this ore?) and mixed with water or something, drunk it and he looked like dead. The bad guys left him somewhere, so the good guys find him and do a funeral for him. The leading actor goes into the robot, and uses some of the robot powers to destroy or maybe fossilize the coffin (or something like that) but instead he ends up resurrecting the "mentor" guy. There might be a yellow submarine (or other colour) involved in the movie, but I might confusing it with another movie.
Thanks for all your help!
Greetings!
That was a Terence Hill and Bud Spencer film they were travelling across Europe. one of them would say for instance ‘’ we haven’t seen an accident since we entered Italy or France … and the next moment they see an accident involving a train and a bus or we haven’t seen an aeroplane since.. And in seconds a plane flies overhead. What was the name of that comedy?
I am pretty sure it was an asian movie, probably 70s – 80s, involving a red robot that its arms could detach and punch the enemies (other robots probably).
A quick Google search for 'red robot japanese' brought up two popular entries, 'red robot baron' and 'robocon'. Do a Google image search and see if these are at all familiar, maybe? There does seem to have been a Robocon movie in the late 70s, but there's almost no information on it via IMDb. Both had TV series in the 70s, I believe.
From the images I think "red robot baron" is what I was looking for, I will try to find the movie just to be sure. It is very interesting that you found it this way, I was searching for "asian red robot movie" and other similar, but never using your terms...
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!
Well, you suggestion was close enough but after watching some episodes and trying to find the movie, I found the actual one I was looking for and it is called Mach Baron!
Thanks again!
I got an interesting one would have been 80's I am sure.

Hi! I'm looking for a movie (Sorry for my bad english.)
Its a drama.
It's about a boy and an old strange woman!
The boy destroys her fench with his bicycle i think and she makes him fix it.
Then slowly they become friends.
If i remember correctly,the communicate with light signals.
At the end the old woman dies.
It's not a new movie.. I think i saw it 10 years ago?!
Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, so i want to ask you very humbly to help me to find the name of a movie that i can't remember.
I guess i'ts released around the 80's or early 90's
It's set at the same time line as it's release.
I remember it's set at USA.
The part i only remember, is that it was a group of teenagers looking for the brother of one of them, or camping for some reason. There were 3 couples. And were attacked by a bigfoot-like creature. The creature kills some people, and near the end of the movie, they kill the creature and discover it was the longlost brother, that was turned into the creature by some kind of alien who infects people by stabbing them at the chest with some root-like appendix injecting the fluid that turns them into bigfoot like creatures.
In the end of the movie, one of the guys is infected by the creature, but as he transforms, it intend to kill the alien, using the strenght and savagery the mutation gives to him.
Then the boy awakens, to find that he's in a dream into another dream or at least that's what i can remember. Thanks in advance
The boy destroys her fence with his bicycle i think and she makes him fix it.
I've seen this move and I can remember many scenes from it, but the name escapes me.
I have searched in vain and hope someone can identify it as it's giving me a headache too :)
I'm looking for the name of a movie, I remember watching bits of it years ago and can't remember too many details.
From what I can remember, it was about a German rocket scientist taken from after the war to help with the American space program (operation paperclip). It also has a bit of a side plot with his son, who is having trouble fitting in at school because of his German heritage (other kids picked on him, since there was still anti German sentiment after the war).
I can't remember much else, and from what I know it's not a very well known movie since I cant find anything through Google.
No no. It's not that old movie..maybe 1990-2002??!
If it helps the old lady seems a little "crazy" with white hair.
I've seen this move and I can remember many scenes from it, but the name escapes me.

Oh,you've seen it?? Maybe if you remember some scenes except the ones i wrote it would help the others
It's killing meee!!!
Movie from the 80ies or 90ies ... a tropical jungle, soldiers captured by other soldiers, have to line up and take off cloth ... all males except one woman nude soldiers standing and i think they have to wash themselves. no porn-movie ... i guess it was a war movie or action flick ...
thats the only scene i can remember ... but its so special i never saw it in another movie ... it remembers me a bit of a Vietnam movies ...

You're welcome! I've seen it once, but, of course, anything with Vanessa Redgrave is especially memorable to me. I liked the touch of mysticism to it, with the signaling lighthouse.
I'm happy that I could help and that I can watch it on YouTube.
I forgot the name of a movie I saw on Netflix about 2 years ago, about a few people (like 3 girls) in Mexico get kidnapped and find this demon sanctuary that worships sex. The people there are demons that are having sex with people until they die. I really want to remember the name please reply if you know it.
This could be a long shot. I have only ever watched the first 10 minutes.
I think it is a somewhat scary film, made sometime between 2008 and 2012.
I get the feeling it is a post-apocolyptic/dystopian type of film, set in the near future.
It starts with people (poor-looking) travelling on a train and when they reach their destination there are people outside the train with deformities/scary looking of some type.
That's all I can remember from the little I have seen of it.
Undercover cop and abused boy bond on a road trip
OK so this was set in america or canada, around 2000-2010. I've googled the hell out of it with no joy.
Main character was a young boy who his mother forced to be a prostitute to pay for her drugs (nice...), she overdoses and he runs away.
He meets this stranger who he thinks is a criminal (turns out to be an undercover cop) at a diner.
The cop takes a phone call from an informant or something and writes down an address or phone number from another city which the boy memorises and then gets rid of to force the cop into taking him along.
They go on a road trip and bond, until the cop hooks up with an ex-girlfriend.
The boy gets upset and thinks the cop is going to abandon him so he offers to sleep with the cop if he lets him stay. Cop says no and the boy runs off and tries selling himself to a stranger.
Cop turns up, saves the boy and catches the criminals he'd been after. Drives off back to his girlfriend with the boy. Happy ending.
The boy spends the whole film in a yellow smiley face t-shirt.
I think it had quite a short title, maybe started with an A or W, maybe not!

I don't remember anything else about this American movie that was probably released after 2005 other than this scene:
A beautiful woman (in a black dress?) is alone at an outdoor cafe. It is probably foreign (Italy or Spain?). Two 20-30 something dark haired men are hitting on her from the next table. The younger one is handsome, I remember longish hair and an unbuttoned dress shirt.
She is polite but not interested. Another man (English- speaking) shows up and does the same, but to their surprise she leaves with him. They mutter something about Americans.
Turns out the two are already a couple and just having some fun.
I recall them being fairly famous actors. Also possibly a spy theme.
Thanks for any help!
ok do you remember this film
released around 90-92, it had some sort of time traveling element to it, im sure its a horror comedy. in one scene they end up in space with like space marines and an alien creature is trying to get though a closed door, another scene is in like medieval times, it jumps around a lot in time? the film time bomb with micheal biehn reminds me a lot of it sure it was released about the same time, im sure I seen the trailers together and decided to rent both films thanks

Hi all,
Looking for movie that is set in the country side. The woman as a girl is in love with a cousin but he is in the army and is deployed. While he is away she marries a local boy-- idk if the cousin was MIA or she gave up. The marriage is not going well. The husband ends up an alcoholic and cheats on her. Her cousin returns some time while this happens and he is missing a leg. The woman still in love with him takes care of him but after she finds out her husband's infidelity, she runs to the cousin. The husband cuts off his leg in order to get her back.
I do not know when this movie was made but I think I saw it about 10 yrs ago... and it may be a foreign film...
Can anyone tell me what move this is from....
I swear this happened. A guy goes into the washroom (maybe to get away from someone?) and pretends to pee for a long time by filling up cups of water or water bottles and pouring them into the toilet??
I watched this movie in the late 80's early 90's. A woman and her disabled daughter move into an old house after the car accident that crippled her daughter and killed her husband. Some developers show up to buy the house but she refuses even though the house is haunted. The developers set the house on fire with the daughter trapped inside. The fire bursts a seal in the floor and water pours out that heals the daughter and she is able to escape.
A long shot. Possibly a Disney movie possibly circa 1960's but I could be way off. Watched it in the 80's
The only thing I remember about it is that at the beginning an Uncle? is with two kids on the beach and he gets washed out to sea.
At the end of the movie it's discovered he survives and returns back to the same beach I think.
May or may not include pirates

So i wanna say this is a late 80's early 90's animated film, and all im really able to remember is that its about two kids who end up concentrating and learning to see through peoples clothing, but then end up not being able to turn it off. Anyone have any ideas?

This was a made-for-tv amish movie released in about 1991-1992. It was about a blanket that could kill people if you slept with the blanket and had a lucid dream dreaming that you were killing someone--for example, someone slept with the blanket and dreamed they were stabbing someone in the eyes with a fork--meanwhile, that person being stabbed in the dream was at a party, and their glasses cracked in the middle & their eyes looked gouged out and were bleeding everywhere. This was a blanket that was within the amish community, but someone outside the community found out about the blanket and dressed up as an amish and joined the community to make use of the blanket to kill those in his social circle he wanted to dispose of.

To Save a Child (1991 TV movie)

Synopsis:
A doctor and his pregnant young wife move to a small New Mexico town. At first, the locals are friendly and pleased to see them, but soon the wife begins to suspect that their neighbors' motives are more than just hospitality.
ok this is my first post :/. I am looking for a crazy movie , really strange.not sure about the year, If I guessed . 90s or better.. so there is this strange guy dressed in black rags and hides his face. his face is pale with a enormous nose. he committed suicide but does not know it. now it gets even more strange! so there are these people watching over other people sleeping while having nice dreams. there is also evil people who speak as if using radio static, and their faces are framed behind a glass screen, I think they are evil spirits. there is magic , portals, and the big nose guy must deliver a boy to the evil guys to join their ranks..he finds out it is his son and remembers the suicide. then rights the wrongs
I know crazy right!
just remembered the people watching over the sleeping people are guardians or good spirits. one of the female good spirits gets her butt kicked by the bad guys or maybe big nose. the other good spirits question if she should be replaced for not being strong. oh and theres one good spirit assigned to each person I think
Would greatly appreciate help with this one:
Something about a robbery. One of the two guys ends up in the car with the money, stealing it from his friend/accomplice.
He crashes on a windy road. Found by wholesome farm girl who in another (maybe the opening) scene, we see kill a pig, graphically but compassionately.
The guy has a life threatening disease and is dying. He and the girl become lovers. She is under financial pressure at risk of losing the farm.
Eventually, he gives her the money to save the farm, as his condition deteriorates. The other guy, his friend, eventually shows up.
I think the guy dies in the end. The implication (or the outcome) is that he trusts her to end it for him compassionately like he witnessed her do with the pig at the beginning.
Was screen on SBS in the last year. I think it was a foreign film with subtitles. If my life depended on saying something... maybe it was Polish, maybe 2010? totally guessing though. Maybe a two word title with her name beginning with C or G like Gretta's Lover, or Claudia's Farm...
Thanks in advance for any leads!
All that recollecting helped me find it myself!
The movie is called:
Emma's Bliss

Hi,
Trying to remember the name of a supernatural horror movie from probably early 2000s where a couple is living in (has just moved into?) a newly built/renovated house in a suburban neighbourhood, and through some ghostly occurances experienced by the inhabitants, it's discovered that a girl's body has been buried within the walls/floors of the house.
It turns out that she was a teenaged, socially-awkward resident of the neighbourhood who was tricked into coming into the (then-unoccupied) house by the teenage son who lives next door, and one of his friends I think. They tried to sexually assault her and ended up accidentally killing her, then wrapping her in a clear plastic tarp and stashing her body in the walls. I think the father of the killer son knew what had happened and was helping to cover it up, and possibly he was also actually the owner of the renovated house next door to his own and was renting it to the couple who now live there and see the young girl's ghost.
I had it in my head that this was What Lies Beneath, but nope, turns out that movie's plot is completely different
Thanks!
Alright so I've been trying to figure out the title of this psychological thriller.
I've seen this movie 2013 from a red box that probably didn't come out in theaters.
A woman and two suspicious male friends return to a familiar house that was abandoned and boarded up. As they try to clean the house up the woman encounters what seems like ghosts and robbers. A specific part is when the two males come across photos and they hide them from the woman. As the movie progressed the two male friends are barely on screen and it's just the woman trying to survive while slowly getting triggers and flashbacks of her past in the house.
Turns out the photos are of the woman being molested and raped and drugged out by the two male friends in order to be unconscious and forget. As she slowly realizes this the house begins to symbolically crumble as the boarded house might be a symbol for her brain. Anyways, she tries to fight back the ghosts and robbers in the house and ends up vengefully killing the two males.
It might have been an independent film or something. There are no famous actors from it but it was mind blowing and I ended up really liking it. I just don't remember the title and I want to watch it again!
Please help!
I'm really hoping someone here can help me remember this movie. I remember watching it on SBS (I think) many years ago. Maybe 10 or more years ago. I have tried googling everything relevant from my memory but I have no luck..
It's a japanese samurai film. I'm sorry if someone knows this and I'm butchering the story but this is all I remember...
This samurai is fleeing something (can't remember what or who) and he winds up at this temple I presume, I think it might have been on a mountain. And it's very rainy and stormy. There's this other dude there who helps him out, feeds him, he's badly wounded. But he heals suddenly. I think he wound up there with his friend, who he later finds out died, and the dude who was in this temple/house cut him up and fed his friend his heart or liver or something, which aided his healing. The dude who did this turns out to be a cannibal and he draws strength from eating people. Different organs provide different benefits when eaten I think.
For some reason I've always associated the word 'ogre' with the movie, I don't know if that was part of the title or what the good dude called the bad dude or whatever.
One scene in particular that stands in my mind, there's this really cool fight scene where there is no light in the room and all you can see is the light off the two swords hitting each other and flashing....
At the least I hope someone else remembers this and I don't sound crazy.

One possible movie could be Kevin Bacon's Stir of Echoes. It came out in 99 so it's not far off the mark.

I'm trying to find a film,
It's about astronauts exploring planet venus,
Really sure it was the planet venus,
Tried googling it and can't seem to find the film,

Hi everyone,
I need help finding the title of a subtitled film. I don't know any of the actors that were in it, one was a white guy baldish (Jason Stathamish) ....there was non stop action, martial arts, shoot em up. I recall a warehouse of sorts, came out in the 2000's (mid approx) Off the radar film, wasn't one with Jet Li or big budget....
Anyone that knows is my hero, googled the heck out of google with no luck....
Ok this is an American movie from either the 80s or early 90s. I used to think it was called "Murray" because the main character is a long haired guy (brown and curly) whose name is Murray. He can do magic I think? And he wears a hospital gown at one point? And he drives a plane on the roads and the wings get cut off in a tunnel. Also he falls in love with a young hot nun with honey blonde hair.
And that all I remember folks....wtf movie is this?!??!

The new guy gets his newer boots stolen for some other guy inside the prison, but later in the movie the guy who stole the boots gets beat up and the new guy gets his boots back.
another scene i remember is some other inmates in the laundry room and one of them gets raped and just left there.

Movie or TV show I saw on TV as a kid in California between 1978 and 1983. The lead character, a man, somehow ends up shrunk to a few inches tall and is at the mercy of some kind of sorceress. He is forced by the sorceress to jump in a cup of liquid (which he can fit into because he's so small) to see whether he turns red or blue. The idea is that which color he turns will somehow magically determine whether he's good or evil. If the color indicates he will be evil, he will be killed. He jumps in, turns either red or blue, but then explains that he knows it's all a trick to justify murdering him that works on whether the mixture in the vat is acid or base. To demonstrate that it's a trick, he picks up some small onions or herbs or something, throws them into the cup to change the acidity of the liquid, jumps into the cup again, and turns the other color, which exposes the sorceress as a fake. The characters all seem to be wearing clothing from a medieval or pre-Renaissance period. Anyone have any guesses as to what movie or TV show this was?
Hi, I have a movie I saw several years ago that's bugging me since I can't remember the name. It is a fairly older movie,I believe late 80s/ early 90s. It's about a tall dark good looking man who is a writer. He meets a beautiful dark haired woman who is very mysterious. She has an accent, I believe Eastern European. She also is deadly. One scene shows her kissing him and then she throws a knife and kills a bug on the wall. He also gets an arrow in his butt while he is talking to a friend on the phone. His friend thinks he is getting laid but the woman is taking the arrow out of his butt. Her parents turn out to be clowns who are defecting. If anyone can help me figure the movie title it would be much appreciated.
Dear movie gurus: I've been trying, for many years, to identify two "movies"
that I recall very vividly – however, they are TV mini-series, not theatrical movies.
So, first, one question, if you please: Does this thread also cover TV mini-series?
If not, could you point to another thread that does? – Thank you.
If not, could you point to another thread that does? – Thank you.
Here ya go – The "What was the name of that TV show?" thread
Thanks a lot – OK, I tried on that thread – but, since a TV mini-series is more like
a movie than an actual TV show, I hope you allow me to also try here:
Let me start with the first: It was german, from the 80's or 90's. Its title was something like "A love
in Berlin" and it was about a teenager boy in Berlin, starting immediately after the end of WWII and
going until the end of the Berlin blockade, some years later. It showed all the difficulties he (and
a beautiful girlfriend) faced to stay sheltered and fed on those difficult years. One particularly
funny scene, on the first episode (there were something like 6 to 12 episodes), dealt with the boy's
grandmother sewing nazi flags to sell to the occupying soldiers, eager to take home an "authentic"
souvenir.
The 2nd mini-series is canadian, I think (may be american) and tells the story of a nun, from entering the
convent until leaving to marry a few years later (no,it's not "Brides of Christ" – this is much newer)
Most of the later episodes (there are 6 to 12 episodes in all) take place on a beautiful small canadian
fishing town. The nuns are allowed to leave the convent to work on some charity, wearing "civilian"
clothes, and that is where misunderstandings begin...
One of the nuns (a friend of the "heroine") has an affair with an older man, a fishing boat master.
At the end, there is a tragic episode in which this nun commits suicide by jumping in the church,
from a high balcony to he floor... Anyone? Thanks a lot.
a tall dark good looking man who is a writer. He meets a beautiful dark haired woman who is very mysterious. She has an accent, I believe Eastern European
Her Alibi?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Alibi
It was on Channel 9 last week in their lunchtime movie slot.
the story of a nun, from entering the convent until leaving to marry a few years later
I remember a movie with this basic plot, although some of the elements you mention don't ring a bell with me. It's called "Shattered Vows."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt
I remember the plot as going like this: A young nun has difficulty fitting in with religious life, but doesn't spend all of her time in the convent. She does charity work in the community. She falls in love (with a priest) and decides to leave the Order to pursue a career in counseling (or maybe social work). She eventually marries a man she meets through her work.
However, I don't remember anything about a suicide.
I hope that helps. It's something you can eliminate, at least.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for this movie, I believe it was form the late 90s, and is set in a magical realm. It tells the story of boy and a girl who met when they were about 12 but got separated (I think his caravan was passing by and she was trying to run away). However they could still see each other in their dreams and tell each other about their lives. The girl has lost her parents and lives with this wicked woman who makes her clean and is quite mean to her. She keeps telling the boy she will escape but every time the woman catches her. I can't remember if she was a witch or not.
The boy lived with his father, a king, who is training him to be the next king. He is ruthless and the little boy is afraid he will turn into his father. At some point he gets into an argument and the father, or someone related to the boy, throws his sword into a lake and dares him to go get it. The boy dives and he re-emerges as a young man (time has passed).
I am not sure wether the girl and boy are still in contact through dreams between this time and during their grown up year, but if they have, they still can only see each other physically as when they met that one time. At some point the girl escapes and finds herself in the guy's kingdom. He has become ruthless and they don't recognize each other.
He sentences her to death by tying her in the middle of his lake and telling all his men that starting at sunrise, whoever kills her wins a prize (I think they have to reach her with arrows). He says no one should try to stop this or save her, not even him, and whoever does shall die too. He goes to sleep and so does she.
That night they see each other in dreams and she tells him someone is trying to kill her, they realize who each other is and they are able to see each other in their present physical form. The wake up as the sun is rising and he rushes to save her despite all his men trying to kill him. I think he succeeds and they live happily ever after.
If anybody has any clues about the name of this movie I would be so grateful , its driving me mad not to remember! Thanks!!!
He is forced by the sorceress to jump in a cup of liquid (which he can fit into because he's so small) to see whether he turns red or blue.
The Three Worlds of Gulliver (1960)
starring Kerwin Mathews

There are several parts on YouTube, but I couldn't find the part where the sorcerer and his equally evil little daughter test Gulliver. But, he does outwit them by changing the chemical balance.
so this one is driving me mad!
i'm looking for a six parts movie or a miniseries
it's about a young man that finds a crystal or something in his backyard,
he then meets a man that takes him to different worlds to find the missing pieces, while another man try's to stop them, in the end we find out that the older man is evil and the guy chasing is the good guy
please help!!!
Hi everybody,
I am looking for a movie from which i have only seen the trailer. The film itself is definitely not that old, i have no idea where it is set but the main characters do speak English so i am pretty sure its either America or the UK.
I remember from the trailer: A couple lives together with his/her (grand?)mother. The (grand?)mother ruins their lives, mostly by making decisions for everybody else and just generally being evil.
At one moment the (grand?)mother trows a book in the fireplace that the man of the couple had been writing (with a pen :( so it is lost ).
They plan revenge or something and there is a shot where the man says to his wife/girlfriend something like: your sexy when your plotting revenge.
I also still remember a shot of the trailer where the (grand?)mother is in a bathtub but i have no idea why.
English is not my main language so sorry if i made mistakes in my post.
Thanks for helping.
it's about a young man that finds a crystal or something in his backyard,

MystMoonstruck, thanks so much! This forum is amazing.
You're welcome! It's always wonderful when a questioner returns to verify an answer.
Even if we didn't get it right, it's still nice to know so that we can try again.
Looking for a movie probably made in the 1980's, possibly 1990's.
Set in rural America circa 1930, an unlikely romance between a drifter and a widow-woman turns tragic when he kills a man.
I recall only bits and pieces:
-- the drifter chatting up the woman while he's working on her house, boasting that he once had a lot of money "but I pissed it away" (pardon the language, it's the only quote I have)
-- he claims to be a war veteran but awkwardly declines when the woman's brother (?) offers him a chance to shoot a Colt automatic in the back yard
-- he steals the pistol, tries to stick up a motorist, then accidentally shoots the man
-- his attorney is a decent soul but bottom of the barrel; when he speaks we see he has green teeth.
If I remember right, the robbery had a "Gift of the Magi" aspect, in that the drifter did it so he and the woman could be together, instead it forever parted them.
Thank you. It does seem similar, but the movie I'm thinking of is a romantic comedy. It's definitely not Misery.
The rock star is drunk or roofied and crashes his car. A college girl finds him and keeps him handcuffed to her bed in her dorm. I think she's kind of a nerd or a walkflower. It's a light hearted movie.
I've been trying to track down a movie I saw back in the mid-80s.
Here's the pertinent information that I can recall.
The story revolved around bringing a boy, probably around 12 or so, from the "real" world into a fantasy world, in which he had magical powers. The alternate world was much more sword and sorcery, including a party of adventurers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be 'Time Bandits' though I don't recall the kid having magical powers. he did have a band of people with him, he was the right age and the movie was at the right time.
Hi guys, I have a vague challenge here for you sorry!
All I know is that this movie has a scene where the this guy's son hides bullets/shotgun shells from him, then the son gives them to his father at an opportune time when his father needs them.
I think it's set on a farm or at least rurally (might not be)
Hello All,
Long time ago I watched a movie on the TV and I can't remember the name.
I will write down what I remember from it and if anybody has a clue about the name, actors or anything else that could be in help I will be very thankful.
So here is the plot that I remember:
The main character goes for a crazy drunk night with friends and wakes up on a beach.
The next thing he sees is the body of an young girl lying next to him covered in blood ( later it appears that the girl is alive and the blood is actually ketchup from the nearby fast food restaurant). So the main character is in panic that he maybe the killer but he can't remember anything from the past night because of the alcohol he drank.The next thing I remember is that a homeless man appears and tell him that he saw him killing the girl and he could help him cover the killing and "take care" of the body against money and shelter ... So the main character agrees with the terms and invites him at his place. Very soon the homeless man starts to takeover his life( steals his girlfriend, business contacts and so on...) The main character is not very happy about the intruder in his life but doesn't know how to get rid of him... after all he is witness of a murder scene where he is the killer. Next thing I remember is that he finds out that the girl from the beach is actually alive( not sure if she is in team with the beggar) and he realizes that the "killing" is actually a setup made from the homeless man, the blood is ketchup from the fast food restaurant where the girl is working. So ... the main character decides to expose the homeless man and setups a meeting between him, the homeless man and girl from the beach. After this the two men start a fight were our guy(main char) accidentally hit the girl with glass bottle on the head and kills her.At this moment the terms are like from the beginning – the girl is dead(this time for real), the main character is the murder and the homeless man is the witness and helps him rid of the body.
Next final scene that I remember is that our guys is sitting on char with a drink in his hand and looks at the homeless man kissing his girlfriend.(after all he steal his life)
This is all I remember from the movie.
Hello,
I've got another film I'd like help finding and my recollection of it is very simple. There's a mansion by the ocean (or some large body of water) atop a cliff (I think) and very wealthy people live there. The two characters I can remember are a wealthy white woman and a black male servant.
If memory serves, she's dead and he's helping her figure out who killed her. It's a comedy likely made in the 50's or 60's as the VFX of her appearing and disappearing are very crude.
I vaguely recall someone falling down a long passageway to the ocean below and another where the ghost disappears as though a zipper is closing over them.
I could also have it completely backwards and HE's the ghost. It's been ages since I've seen it.
There's also another film I haven't been able to find and is posted much earlier in this thread if you'd like to take that on, too.
thanks!

scene where the this guy's son hides bullets/shotgun shells from him
I can recall something along those lines with an Australian moving set in the outback/bushland. Does this ring any bells?
Greetings Friends!
There are many wereolf films. Please can any one help. That was a black and white werewolf film . The wolf attacked its victims in a wood when there was a full moon.
Hi! I been trying to decipher the name of this movie for a loong time! I think the movie is from the late 1900´s or early 2000´s, I´m not sure.
What I can remember of the movie is that it was about a boy who was a loser in junior high or high school (I don´t know) and he finds a genie or a godmother who grants him the wish of being popular and becoming the star basketball player of his school. So because of his wish he becomes taller and more handsome. Also he wanted this wish because he had a crush on the most popular girl in school.
I can´t remember what happens after, I just remember that in the end the boy transforms back to normal and learns that the popular girl was also a geek who wished on the same genie or godmother to become pretty and popular. So both transform back to normal and start dating.
Please help me find this movie! I would like to watch it again!
I think the movie is from the late 1900´s or early 2000´s, I´m not sure.
gee a few things are off but could it be Big starring a very young Tom Hanks that you are thinking of?
The wolf attacked its victims in a wood when there was a full moon.
that's like super, super vague to the point that it's impossible to drill down to the film as most WW films have them changing in full moon and in the woods or parks etc.
is there anything else that's unique that you can remember about the movie.
No it's not that one. I have seen that movie and it's not that. The boy doesn't turn into an adult he just grows taller so he can be a basketball star. But i don't remember so well so maybe he doesn't turn tall.
Bumping two of my older posts, in case someone missed them :)
Hi, I'm looking for a movie. I just watched a few minutes as a kid, so maybe the information are a bit distorted, filtered through a child's mind.
I remember a room, like a classroom, but all the students are teenage girls. One of them stands up, draws a circle on the blackboard and mumbles some words. The teacher tells her to stop but he girl keeps on chanting. The teacher puts her hands on her ears and she runs screaming on the balcony and jumps off. All girls are now on the balcony looking down on her dead body. And I think a strange sign appears on the floor, a circle like the corp signs. The building is very old and classy, like a castle or a big mansion. I would say like an expensive boarding school.
The movie is at least 25 years old. Around the 70s or 80s. The era of the story might be even older, that's the feeling I got from the girls' clothes. I'm not sure about the theme, but it looked like the girls were hypnotized or the one chanting was some kind of witch.
-----------------------------
The movie I'm looking for must have been filmed in the 70s or early 80s. Set in the current time, english speaking.
A guy stops outside a house to cool himself with some water. A woman comes out crying "He's back, I told you he'd return", she's mistaken him for her missing son. The guy tries to explain but in the end he decides to play along and stay with her, pretending to be her son. The woman also has a daughter. She never believed that this was her brother but also played along for her mother's sake. In the end she tells him that she knows that her brother won't be coming back because she killed him. Accidently. He was making fun of her, she threw him a rock that hit him in the head. She hid his dead body in a dry well or an old fuel tank.
I think the fake son and the daughter fell in love...
Can any one say the name of the movie described below
Its abt 5 or 4 children who is fighting against thieves.In an exhibition(fair) these thieves increase the speed of the rolling coasters and other machines .The kids control them all.They(children) also use a remote controlled toy helicopter to tear falling bags of money from helicopter thrown by the thieves.There is a grown up person to help them.At last the children are locked inside a dark room and tried to kill by some people having guns and night vision glasses.The movie ends with the climax of burning of a ship with the help of a time bomb that was kept in the exhibition premises.The children uses gas cylinder(I think it is oxygen) and transport this bomb to the ship by cutting the head of this cylinder and placing it in the sea.It goes very fast to the ship and the ship is burned.
you just made my day!!!!!thank you!!!!
You're welcome! I've seen only a couple of episodes, but I hope that someday I'll see all of it. It's a lot of fun.
The story revolved around bringing a boy, probably around 12 or so, from the "real" world into a fantasy world, in which he had magical powers. The alternate world was much more sword and sorcery, including a party of adventurers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll give this a try:
Mio in the Land of Faraway aka Mio min Mio (1987)
Synopsis:
It tells the story of a boy from Stockholm who travels to an otherworldly fantasy realm and frees the land from an evil knight's oppression.
The rock star is drunk or roofied and crashes his car. A college girl finds him and keeps him handcuffed to her bed in her dorm. I think she's kind of a nerd or a walkflower. It's a light hearted movie.
Rock and Roll Fantasy aka Sorority House Party (1992)

The gorgeous male model Attila plays Jamie Z., a rock star who is the victim of an attempted murder plot. He's also comically 'kidnapped' by a fan named Alex, with whom he eventually becomes involved.

It could be the second and final sequel to "Topper":

Hi, this is my first post.
Can anyone remember which Sinbad movie of the 70's had the huge whirlpool or sinkhole happening in the middle of the ocean and Sinbad was on a raft lol. I am sure it was a Sinbad movie. It's all I remember of the movie. What was the name of it ?
It could be the second and final sequel to "Topper":
Topper Returns (1941)
YES! That's the one! The details are quite a bit different from my recollection but the chauffeur is exactly as I remember him being. If it weren't for those wonderful voice and facial expressions, I don't think I'd recognize the movie.
Thank you so much!

There is a black and white movie that was already quite old when I saw it; I think it was filmed in the 1930's. There's a man in a hotel room and he is attacked by a lion that was behind the sofa – I guess that makes it a hotel suite instead of a room. Anyway, you don't actually see the man die, you hear him screaming in terror.
I thought it was "Grand Hotel" but I just watched that on TCM and there is no lion in the movie.
Anyone know what movie this is? I can't find it when I search. Hmmm.
An animated movie, maybe even a series. I saw it about 20years ago. Set in a dystopian future with elements of cyberpunk. Centered around two cops, one male and one female. They had cybernetic augmentations installed by their department. These mods had to be returned if they ever left the police force. This kind of made them slaves as they really enjoyed the mods but didn't much like the work.
They had to rescue a child who had been taken hostage. This involved fighting a six legged "tank". Notable scenes involved: the female cop tearing open the tank's hatch with such force that some of her bionics tore through her skin. The male cop talking about how important it is to have "a really big gun" when fighting a tank. The female cop saying something like "about time that thing ran out" when the tank's machine gun was finally empty. Using the dead tank drivers brain-link to access information about the bad guys, or something.
Any help identifying what this was would be appreciated.

You're welcome! Yes, Eddie Anderson was a terrific comedic actor. He's wonderful combined with Jack Benny, but he starred in films on his own, too.
The other two "Topper" movies are a lot of fun. The movies inspired a TV series. Much later, then-husband-and-wife Andrew Stevens and Kate Jackson revived "Topper", with Jack Warden as Cosmo.

If it was in the bedroom, I'd say it was this:

Classic Animé: Ghost in the Shell
I saw this movie around 1985. It involved a magician moving in with or being sponsored by some wealthy family. He amazes at rich parties with some creepy tricks like moving a lump on one lady's neck down her arm and out her finger which he then chops off and eats the disease....He used slight of hand to substitute a carrot for her finger. He totally freaked everyone out then amazed them with the switch.
There's something more sinister about him tho as he begins influencing the sponsors son and it turns out he is a real wizard.
By the end he is killed but it seems he finished his work and possesses the child.
Any ideas?
I've been searching for this movie for two days, any help would be great.
- It's an anime movie based around a forest
- Forest spirits / demons / monsters are involved
- the start of the movie has a family (mom, dad, a newborn baby girl) and their friends going out to this meadow/forest on a picnic. The family's friends compliment on the baby, and they let the baby wander off. The baby gets lost in the forest.
sorry it's super vague. o-o;
It isn't Princess Mononoke, Mushi Mushi, origins spirit of the past, or Hotarubi no Mori e.
He amazes at rich parties with some creepy tricks like moving a lump on one lady's neck down her arm and out her finger which he then chops off and eats the disease....
This scene rings a very loud bell. I've seen a similar movie when I was very little and I don't remember much about it, only that it was about Rasputin. I was so young that I only knew the song, lol.
I can't help with the movie title but sure it narrows down your search.
Hi, I'm looking for a movie about a boarding school I saw on TV when I was 7 or 8 years old (1977). I think it was in England and all the kids in the school end up going against the dictatorial teachers so the main characters (a girl and a boy about 12 years old) could escape in the last scene of the movie using a railroad handcar.
It was a romantic movie from the late '60s or '70s, at most the early 80's.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Harlequin (1980)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080842/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I have wanted to watch that movie again for about 20 years now. It always stuck with me for some reason.
PS: Sorry '76pfred' I completely missed your response. You are 100% spot on.
Hiya-
I'm looking for a name of a film I believe it was made in the 1970's maybe extremely early 80's, set in the same time period as when it was made.
It's a horror movie set in the usa, reminded me of the south-western usa. I remember a father and daughter travelling by car and they stop or have car trouble, at or near a tourist trap or very small town in the desert. they and the town are terrorised by this lizard or bat person. The creatures only wake up to feed and then go back into hibernation I think. I remember the dad finds the cave where the creature lives and there is a female of these creatures and a young offspring as well. I can't remember if the dad destroy's the cave, or lets them live.
I remember there is an old man that tells the father and daughter about the creature, I think he's the one living at the tourist trap type place with all his junk. There is a town cop (i think he gets killed).
Any help would save my sanity. cheers.

Is it possible? The exact same scene in a completely different movie?
I'm 100% sure it was Rasputin, I even remember his long hair and beard and the black chericals. Typical appearence of a Greek or Russian priest.
The czarina was giving "shows" where her beloved priest proved his abilities. Ok, maybe it wasn't a tumor that made move from the head to the end of the hand and I don't remember him eating it, but the scene is extremely similar.
Any ideas what movie I'm talking about? It was made about the same time, I'm not sure if it's black and white...
A long time ago, maybe when I was like 10 or something, I saw bits and pieces of what seemed to be a suspense or horror movie, but I don't really know. From what I remember, the main characters were a black family. I remember the little boy finding a secret tunnel hidden in the walls of their house that led to some cave in the woods outside their house. Later in the movie, he attempts to go through the the cave to get back to the house, but I don't remember what happened after that. Also, the father of the family went to work and noticed the lock on his office had been changed, and the whole family was scared and maybe hid in the house for a while, Imdon't remember the details on that. Help?

Tom Baker looked very familiar, maybe it is the correct movie after all. I'll come back as soon as I find it and watch it, to tell you for sure.
Thank you!
Hey everybody, first of all I am astounded at the amount of obscure movie knowledge in this thread! Looking forward to participating.
Okay, the movie I'm looking for is one I read a review of years ago, and I got the impression it was an older movie, possibly foreign, possibly french. The main plot involved a woman who is trapped overnight in an art museum, with a man who becomes increasingly bold and intimidating in his advances towards her. Sort of a psycho-sexual thriller examining boundaries of consent.
It sounds somewhat similar to the opening scene of Dressed to Kill by Brian de Palma, but I'm pretty sure it's not that. And in fact I'm thinking it may have helped inspire that scene, as many of de Palma setups are 'inspired' or 'homages' to classic thrillers.
Thanks!
MystMoonstruck, you saved my sanity! Cheers for that!You star!
You're welcome! I loved this film when it debuted on TV and would watch it every time it was rerun. I wish I had an uncut version and hope that Starz or Encore might air it someday. I loved the creature design and the slow-down motion of them. The cavern design with the eggs really stands out.
Okay so I don't remember much about this movie so here goes: A man or woman was running away from someone trying to kill them and they came to a house that was occupied by a few people. These people took this person(i believe it was a woman come to think of it) in and were going to help her. These people that took her in ended up being affiliated with the person trying to kill her and she found out that they were going to kill her. I remember a gun being mounted on a wall and someone getting shot. It was pretty gruesome. I'm thinking it was probably a japanese or foreign film.
I believe strongly that it was a japanese movie and i remember a scene where the main character takes a knife from one of the assailants and puts it through his hand into a table then breaks the handle off so he can't take it out. any ideas?
Hi all, I want to find name of a movie which I am trying to find over a couple of weeks.
plot: A newly married couple goes to honeymoon to a small island(sort of), which is in the middle of a forest. They park their vehicle in the forest and goes to the island with the help of a small boat. There is a small wooden house on the island. They enjoys their honeymoon for some days. Then the girl for some reason wants to go home. The guy won't allow her to go back to home. He cuts all means of communication with the outer world. The girl doesn't even know swimming.
He is very nice to the girl but he never allows her to leave the island. Once the girl comes to know about this, she tries to escape from him. At one point she some how crosses the river, but she doesn't have the keys to the car. So she returns to island again. There are similar scenes in the movie. At the end of the movie, the girl kills the guy and finally manages to escape.
I am very sure its an english movie made in late 90's or 00's.
I know you guys are going to help me.Thanks in advance for all of you.

No problem...but your English seems to be awesome!
Horror movie, circa 1982, filmed in 3d.
The mental asylum was supposed to let out Howard Johns, but they let out John Howard instead.

Hi All,
This is not only a nightmare to me, but also to my brother (so it ain't a hallucination). We think it's a movie from 90's, perhaps a TV movie? We do not recall any major stars, but then again, what do we really know. Here it is:
The movie tells a story about young group of people, musicians, or interested in music, maybe a band... they meet in this bar? club? place where there is a scene of a guy who plays on the piano, he had his drink on the top and he was smoking while playing. There was also a scene, where one guy played an electric guitar on the top of the roof of a house, and another guy hear him playing, and played to him back on his guitar, from downtown? At the end of the movie, there was a description how this group of individuals end up. We are pretty sure that it wasn't a biographical movie (we think). There was no real action as we remember, just struggling musicians finding themselves in the world.
That is all what we have, not much, we understand. But endless love, and t-shirt with your name on it will be printed, and we shall wear it with pride and joy till the rest of our days, if you know it. I mean it.
The movie tells a story about young group of people, musicians, or interested in music
it's somewhat vague but many of the scenes you mention have a passing resemblance to Almost Famous.
a really great film.
Silent Madness
Well done, that's what it was. The cinema busted out in laughter when the names got read out.
Thank you for helping.
The movie Im searching for was highly likely released between end 80's and end 90's.
It was an American movie.
In the first scene a teenage guy receives a new bow or crossbow from his father and on his wall are several bows or crossbows. (Uncertain: was a birthday gift from his dad, who couldn't be present – away on business or in general)
A teenage girl comes around the house on her horse while an arrow from the guy shoots in the fence past/beside her.
This is all I can remember. Sorry I don't have any more.

These people that took her in ended up being affiliated with the person trying to kill her and she found out that they were going to kill her. I remember a gun being mounted on a wall and someone getting shot.
Could it be Eden Lake?

It is a movie from the UK in 2009 with the same plot.
A specific part is when the two males come across photos and they hide them from the woman. As the movie progressed the two male friends are barely on screen and it's just the woman trying to survive while slowly getting triggers and flashbacks of her past in the house.
Could it be Silent House?

I am not very computer savvy and I have never been on a forum before. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to post a question in the "What Was The Name Of That Movie" forum. I am hoping that this is the correct way to post my question and that it posts in the correct forum.
I have been trying for several years to find out the title of a movie for my son. He watched the ending of the movie at a friends house in the late 1990's or early 2000's and has always wanted to watch the whole movie.
Here is what he remembers:
1. An alien space ship lands/crashes on earth.
2. Two aliens kill a human male and a human female and put the dead bodies in the space ship.
3. The two aliens take on the identities of the two dead humans.
4. The aliens were sent to earth to assassinate one male human in particular.
5. The aliens, in human form, lead the male human they were sent to assassinate back to the space ship under false pretenses.
6. When they all arrive at the space ship the two aliens themselves explode in order to kill the male human they were sent to assassinate.
7. You, the viewer, do not know any of this (#1 – #5) until they all arrive at the space ship.
I appreciate any and all information that you may be able to supply.
Thank you.
I expect this one to be a real challenge.
I only caught the ending of this movie, back in the 70's, I was around 10-12yrs old.
Old Black and White Western. I THOUGHT it might be a John Wayne move.
At the end, there is a horse drawn carriage (like a four low-sided wagon, open/no cover).. outside an old mexican? church .. I think there was a woman, and a young girl (less than 10) .. she has been with the leading male character, throughout the movie, and you get the idea that he has been redeemed or saved (maybe he was alcoholic/crook/spiritually) .. and the little girl is like his guardian angel/guide but he didn't know .. anyway, the movie is winding to it's end, and she ? maybe says goodbye to him/he's had to bring her home/to this church..
She runs into the church, and he goes in after her and cant find her ... she has disappeared.. but then he sees this statue ... and my vague recollection is the statue IS this little girl.. or her headstone/she was buried in the church/or she is a patron saint and the statue is in honour of her ... and anyway, our hero of the story realises the little girl was sent from heaven .. or something like that...
I've always meant to try to find out WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT MOVIE?!!!
I'm looking for a movie i believe in was from the 1990's more specifically 1995 or 1997 it's about this troubled teenage boy who gets sent to his grandparents and his grandfather is a police detective but the other police want him to retire because he is a honest cop and they're involved with something bad in an animal shelter i remember a scene where i believe the boy is chasing after a van i think the van is white an i believe there were a man and woman in the front i also remember a scene where the boy sees a store i think like a grocery and there's a sign that says help wanted and he goes in and asks about the boy and i someone there i think a woman tells him the position is already filled and i believe there's a man in the store more middle aged with a little beard i think black hair there's this movie from 2007 called you've got a friend and i think the man looks somewhat like a character from the movie called jim kliekan but perhaps a little bit older and with black hair who throws a gun into a garbage can in a backroom there and i think maybe the boy takes it i believe i watched it on vhs and i think the boy is accused by the cops of stealing the gun please help me find it i'm at my wits end how to find it i've searched so long for it but i can't find it
Hi all.... Looking for two different movies I can`t remember the titles on...
1. This one is a story about a small smart boy with a heart disease, mating up with a big "not so smart" guy. They play basket ball in school, the small smart one riding on the shoulder of the big one. Solving also other problem together. In the end, the small one dies from his heart disease and the big guy writing the story.....
2. This one is about a young boy starting as a sailboat seaman, and discover a blind-passenger girl, without telling it to the captain. The captain will force another seaman to punish this young boy. A storm coming and the ship sunk, I think, but the boy is somewhat saved and end up in an island, for later to return home with the girl ... I thought the title was MS bounty, but when searched for it, could not find this one..... I think the boy was from Norway, but not sure....
Tnx for any help....
I believe this movie was made sometime in the mid 90s but definitely no sooner than that.
It was an animated film about a giant who lives in a castle by himself. Kids would climb over the wall and play in his garden and one of the kids get's bullied by some other kids and the giant intervenes and of course they become friends. I'm fuzzy on what happens next, but ultimately the kid dies and the giant becomes super depressed and angry and no kids are allowed over the wall anymore. The part I can vividly remember comes during the giant's depression: some mythical creatures show up (I strongly believe one of them to be Jack Frost who dances on the rooftop) and a woman or possibly Jack Frost again walks along the garden with a long white cloak and as they pass the garden becomes snowy under the cloak. I then believe the boy appears to the giant again at some point as a vision or something and tells him to get over it (much nicer I'm sure) and eventually he does by running off Jack Frost and the other creatures (I'm pretty sure it's just the Jack Frost guy and a Woman) and the giant finds kids have climbed over the wall again and are having a snowball fight.
I have no clue as to anything else and have tried looking for ages but I can't figure it out. I did watch it in school so I believe that it could have been a book at some point but I am unsure. Any help would be greatly appreciate. I have lost sleep trying to figure this thing out, haha.
I really don't remember much about this film, only 1 scene, but anyway, there are all these kids that I think they ran away from home and they are walking down this railway line in an American desert (arizona?) and at the end of the line it comes out in a woods and they have to go through a river and when they come out of the river these really big leaches are covered all over them and they are trying to get them off.

Help! I once watched an English movie set in London and in the English countryside. It looks like a late 90 movie. A man quits his “good” job, hangs out in café late at night. He then has children on a farm with several women and becomes rich by finding a cure in the blood of a crocodile. It was told from the point of view of the woman who took his “good” corporate job.

The Selfish Giant (1972 TV movie)
Hi all, this has been bothering me for a long time, as a young fellow i watched a series of movies on the saturday afternoon tv, but for the life of me i cannot remember the title .
The problem is i know some scenes but when i google it i get so much disney stuff or unrelated things that i cannot find the title.
So i hop eyou all can help me as it is driving me nearly to madness.
I will be describing some scenes i remember and i hope you will be able to snap your fingers and say "Thats the movie your looking for"
First off the film series was named after the heroin, and if i recall correct she is a very attractive princess. ( arent they always)
There is a scene with two witches who need to get somewhere fast and the most "evil"One decides to take brooms, the least "evil" one complains about them riding on brooms as witches, and the most evil one says something like "Who knows we might be starting a trent.
There is a scene where the main heroine has to learn magic, and the most evil witch helps her by making her envision a frog, and then tells her she has to blow up the frog in her mind, but the heroin refuses to blow up the frog in her mind.
There is a scene where the heroine, the most evil witch and the least evil witch amongst some others are trying to escape from some kind cave, and the only way they can escape is through this stone mouth that has stone teeth going up and down, they could time the teeth exept for the last set as they go to fast, the most evil witch says that the only way the last teeth will stop is if the first teeth stop moving too, so the most evil witch sacrifices her self to stop the first teeth so the rest can escape.
In the movies the heroin falls in love with the evil wizard she battled in the first movie.
One of the movies might have had the prince turn into a statue by the evil wizard.
But i am not sure about this for the full100%
Thats the scenes i can remember at the time, i really hope you all can help me
Hi all,
This one has been eluding me for years:
It's from the late 70's/early 80's and I'm sure it's essentially a pirate movie.
The one thing that really stands out is the fact that the lead bad guy had a young, blonde henchman/boy who had these metal blades that he would put on his fingers to torture and kill at his masters bidding.
Apart from that, I'm lost. Saw it as a boy and that part really stuck with me, but I can never remember the movie title!
Thanks in advance

First timer:
This is a black and white sci-fi film from (probably) the early to mid sixties. It could also be TV, but does not appear to be The Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone (I've checked).
The scene that sticks in my mind has the following elements:
Outdoors, desert. There's a kind of cave-like opening with a tilted rocky overhang.
A man (I think it's an astronaut of some kind) is hiding in the shadows. He's been warned to keep out of the sunlight.
Another man who might be a pursuer is also in a deep shadow some distance away. Somehow he gets caught in the sunlight (I believe there's a closeup of the shadow/sunlight line creeping up on him). When the light hits him, he is turned into a skeleton.
Anything?
Thanks,
Blair
Hi everyone, this forum is an excellent find.
I am trying to find a movie that I saw in the late 80's or early 90's. It was about an electrician who did some work in an attractive female neighbours house but also installed a spy camera into her bedroom. She eventually discovered the camera, but instead of reporting him she began bringing men home to 'perform' for him. They continue in this way, with each 'performance' more daring than the last until, i think, the electricians wife finds out.
That's all i can remember but i have been trying to find this film for years so any help would be greatfully recieved.
Many thanks!
OK, here goes:
It's a typical black & white tropical 30's/40's movie scene. A couple of sweaty guys in white linen suits are in a room with a slowly revolving ceiling fan & bamboo shutters. In the background you hear a bird call. It starts at a low pitch and goes an octave higher, then higher and higher. The pitch continues to rise, possibly into infinity. One of the guys says to the other one, "That's a (something) bird. If you listen to it, you go crazy." That's all I remember. Anyone know it?????????
I've given up trying to find the answer on Google or IMDB, so I'm hoping by some miracle someone might know this movie based on my limited memories.
I saw the movie on TV in the mid 90's [I think '95]. Some artists [roughly college aged] had moved into an old house, and were painting these rather large, intricate paintings on the walls, only the paintings included people painted to match the painting [similar to the Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know video], so as the screen pans across the painting, you see subtle movement and then realize there's a person hidden within the artwork. The artist would then take pictures of the art. At a certain point, the house gets burned down [I believe intentionally/maliciously], but it is mentioned that the important thing is that they have the pictures. That is, sadly, all I can remember.
Any ideas at all?
hi I have been searching for the name of a movie. my co-worker mentioned me a movie she can't remember the name, now I can't think because I have that in my mind please help.
so she said there is this woman(young adult) and her father dies, she finds letters her father has been hiding from her, they're kind of like love letters from her uncle that is apparently in a asylum. he gets out and finds her, the woman had a friend who she was messing around with and one day he was trying to go too far so the uncle pulled him back and basically killed him, uncle & niece together got rid of the body.
I don't know what else to say apparently the woman was kind of crazy too but I can't say the last part my co-worker told. it might be too much for this site :) hope u find the name.
This film is fairly modern, possibly 2000. It centers around this black guy in the usa, Washington i believe and hes a solider, well he thinks hes a solider and that they have just won a fairly recent war i think Pakistan but the theory in the film is that the whole was faked completely and that him and his solider buddies where actually hypnotized into shooting each other inside what looks like a pyramid or secret facility. He had nightmares about scenes of the war that where fed to him but he later finds out in the film that they weren't real scenes. Its a very controversial film But i can't for the life of me find it. I didn't like war films at the time, which is why I've forgotten the name of it, but i want to watch it again now, if anyone can help i would be very grateful. Thanks.

If this is a recent movie, it could be 'Stoker' (2013), from Chan-wook Park, the South Korean director of the original Old Boy:

I don't remember much of the plot but there are strong similarities.

And this could be Jonathan Demme's 2004 remake of 'The Manchurian Candidate':

It's set around the Gulf War and mostly takes place in Washington, it stars Denzel Washington, plus there are hypnotized soldiers. The rest I'm not sure about.
Thanks so much i'll check it out. I wasn't sure if i was explaining properly cause i knew i had the wrong war.
So, here's all I can remember about this movie:
- I believe it was made in the 80s and I watched it on TV, but I don't know if it was ever in theaters.
- It takes place in a U.S. city roughly when it was filmed.
- From what I can recall, it's mostly about a guy who befriends some homeless people (or perhaps works with them in some way, or becomes homeless himself--I can't remember).
- The main character, for some reason, resembles Dennis Boutsikaris in my memory, but I have no idea if that's actually him or even actually resembles him at all.
- One of the homeless people (perhaps the only one) he befriends is an overweight guy who occasionally gets donuts out of the garbage bin in the back of a donut shop or diner even though it's perfectly feasible that someone could have discarded their dog's business in there after taking it for a walk.
- At one point, the overweight homeless guy falls ill, and later jokes about how a dog must have "slipped one past him," or something to that effect.
Don't know why I can't remember any more about it or why I even care, but it bugs me.
Thanks for reading.
OMG I can't believe you found it, I showed my coworker the trailer and she was surprised. thank you, thank you, thank you. this really is a good forum. and of course I told her how I found the movie. ;)
I have been trying to remember the name of a short film I saw quite a few years ago (early 2000's?) on the Sundance Channel. It was about a man who ran over a dog and went to return it to the house he thought was the dogs home, but no one was home. He starts out writing a simple note, but then the everything slowly starts to avalanche out of control. He ends up breaking in the house, finds mice, releases snakes to kill mice, gets bit by snakes, falls down stairs and hurts his back, etc..There are several other mishaps, then at the end the person returns home and it turns out they dont have a dog...any ideas or thoughts?
I actually have 2 movies that have haunted me for years.
1st movie – probably from the 70's. I saw it on a local channel before cable was common in every household. It was one of those creepy (I think satanic-style) movies the 70's was known for and the only thing I remember was a woman who walked outside from the guest house or hotel or where ever she was staying and came upon some sort of ritual. The images I remember are a woman (the one that snuck out or another one) being tied to some sort of turntable platform while native tribal type men (I think) were throwing paint on her. I'm pretty sure it was paint and not blood because I seem to remember it being different colors. I'm sure it was supposed to be erotic but to me it was creepy and scary.
2nd movie – Back before cable when all we had was OnTV and other pay tv boxes, there was a british movie on this contraption. I recall there being a lot of the color red in the movie. This guy keeps waking up from a dream where he murders his wife. Every time he wakes up he ends up murdering her again and then running from the police, but wait, then he wakes up again. Finally he goes ahead and intentionally murders her but then you find out this time it really was real. Oh no, wait, it was a dream again. It goes on and on like this. I don't even remember how it actually ended but I remember a lot of red and that it was british (or at least non-usa)
