Hello! This is a coming of age movie set during either WWI or WWII. I saw this movie a year or two ago, but it was on late night UPN and was a black and white movie (I believe). The main character is a young teenager, and he hangs out with his friends in a small quiet town. He lusts after this woman who lives by a house on the beach, and he sneaks off to visit her often, ditching his friends in the process. In one scene, he goes into the neighborhood pharmacy/convenient store to purchase condoms. The man at the register questions him and asks the main character if he knows what they are for and he replies that they are for water balloons. The woman's husband is off fighting in the war (the movie is set off in suburbia, USA). At the end of the movie, the teen visits the woman and finds a letter that states that her husband was killed in action. He turns around and finds the woman in her house and they sleep together. She moves somewhere soon after, and he is alone. I have a feeling this was a 60s or 70s movie.
Result: Dr. Terrors House Of Horrors (1965) is a vignette. The story about the critic stars Christopher Lee and Michael Gough. Thanx Stareater, ALNA70. May 23, 2006
The movie I'm trying to locate begins with a scene from an art exhibition. The guest art critic is bad-mouthing the works being shown and, to give him a come-uppance, someone brings in a painting of "modern art." The critic raves about the painting until it's revealed that a chimpanzee painted it. Needless to say, the critic is dis-credited and embarassed, and is laughed out of the gallery. He gets his revenge by running down the person who embarassed him. The film continues with more murders... one of them by (I think) dropping tons of chains on the person, crushing him.

Back in the mid-late fifties, I saw a horror movie. I remember only one scene in which characters in a painting on a stairwell come to life and leap in and/or out of the portrait. I think at one point someone throws something at the picture and it either causes the folks in the picture to come to life of it causes them to return to the painting... I don't remember which.

this movie is for the late 70's or early 80's teen slasher time. all i can remember is after the killing starts, one girl gets killed and she is found when the main character is trying to hide and sees the dead girls head in the fish tank. i know it's not much to go on, but i thought it was the original, "When A Stranger Calls", but i'm told i'm wrong. sooo, what's that movie?

I wish that I could give you an idea of when I saw this B&W horror film. I was very young and am now mid 50s. It was either British or had some British actors. But, that may be the way that I remember it because it took place in an old spooky British mansion. There was a maze in the back. Occasionally, "the creature" (which was a cross between a frog and a human) was seen with a lantern in the dark traversing the maze. It could be herd in the halls of the house as it required all the doors to all the rooms be locked. Maybe it was too frightened at the results of being seen. I wish that I could tell you more. I've never forgotten the maze. It was BEFORE all the special effects where backgrounds were painted in.

I must have been between ten and twelve years old (I'm now twenty four) when I saw this movie and remember very little. It was set in what I seem to remember was some kind of isolated lab with a team of researchers and maybe support staff like a female cook. The premise was the team opening some kind of possibly dimensional gate and letting some kind of creature into our world which perhaps picks them off one by one. A particular scene that's stayed with me is when a large female who I think may have been the cook sticks her arm into an air duct where the creature is and is attacked or pulled in. She can't scream because she has an apple in her mouth and I can remember being pretty scared. The movie finishes with one of the female staff crossing over to the other dimension, coming back and saying something like "there's thousands of them" before being pulled back through.

Hello,I'm seeking a name of a movie I saw few years ago, back in the 90's. I don't remember exactly when.The movie was in colour, and I'm guessing it was made in the 80's+.I don't remember any names from the movie, country or time period. I saw it on the TV.What I remember about the movie was that there was a guy, which was the main character. He ended up in a church in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of people (the whole movie took place there, in the church, at night). That guy had some sort of a necklace with a blood potion attached to it. Now, there were vampires or some other creatures, with green blood if I remember correctly, outside the church. The main character used his necklace with the blood potion to block every entry point in the church from the "vampires", by spilling some blood at any possible entry point (windows, doors, etc...). The blood created some magic ward or something that doesnt let the bad monsters get in.The blood potion is the thing I remember the most about this movie, and I've never seen anything like it in any other movie.

I am looking for a movie from the late 70's. It was a movie with five separate storys in it. I only remember 3 of the stories. In one story, a man makes a deal (with a supernatural force) to come back to life when he dies. Unfortunately, he has been embalmed when he wakes up and his wife tries to kill him by chopping him up (to no avail). Another story involves a killer dressed as Santa Clause. He is let into the house by a small girl at the end. A third story involves a skeleton (or corpse) on a motorcycle that ends up killing a driver.

I saw this film on VHS in 1997, colour, and believe it came out within 2 years prior, I doubt it ever hit the theatres. It's set in around the 80s, in a swampy area (maybe Florida, Georgia, the Appalachians?). It concerned a beautiful young woman who was newly-confined to a wheelchair, who goes to live at a country house near a swamp (with alligators). She is bitter, rude and difficult to get along with, and thinks her life is over now that she's in a wheelchair (I think she might have been an actress before). There is an old grizzled man (who I believe was the caretaker) who tries to help her, gradually befriends her, saves her from alligators in the swamp, and eventually she falls for him.

Hi, I am looking for a movie that I saw in the mid to late 80's maybe early 90's. It is a cartoon movie about dogs that are all a different color (each one is only a single color. All I remeber is that they are tring to go home, I think, and they have to find these magical doors and only one leads them home. They finally find the door and are able to go home. Through out the movie i believe it is a little girl and a little boy that are trying to help them. The very end shows the little girl and little boy playing in the snow and they are sad that the dogs left, but when they look up in the tree the dogs are there. I think they could talk too.

This movie is in the late 80's or early 90's. Here the things I remember, near the end of the movie this teenager tries to save his girlfriend. Near the end, while he is skateboarding, he holds onto a car (ford mustang?). The kid does a ollie and hits the guy holding his girlfriend with a gun. He skateboard frame is broken and the couple kisses. Also he and his friends are skateboarders and I think one of the friends work for a pizza place.

Older movie -- wish I knew the movie category -- the latest release of King Kong reminds me of the genere. Probably 1980's film. Long time since I have seen the movie--but most likely a color film. Probably an unkown actor stars. Starts in a bar where a normal guy (the movie star) is talked into finding a lost relative (daughter?). This guy must travel to a distant place. From then on the adventure unfolds from one lucky escape after another from tragedy. The main actor is not a superhero, but rather lucky and semi skilled. I believe the movie was made for a theater, but never was very popular--my luck.
Result: The Burbs directed by Joe Dante, starring Tom Hanks, Henry Gibson, Bruce Dern. the man escaping from the house (Tom Hanks) was only bandaged, it was a person in the ambulance who tried to inject him, and the movie continued with a tiny bit more action after the attack in the ambulance. Thanx Juniper, Simnia, Bobbilee, marilynnnnn. May 24, 2006
I don't remember much about this film, but being unable to figure out what it is has been bugging me for some time. I know I saw this on tv, and I think it was probably around 1998 when I saw it.The things I remember very specifically are there were two men who, I believe, broke into this old man's house/basement, perhaps to steal something. In the basment (or cellar) they found bodies/bones buried. The old guy found out they knew he'd been killing people (I think he was killing people with some sort of lethal injection, not sure) and was going to kill the two of them.Near the end of the film, there was either a booby trap that was set, or the guys decided to blow up the house (maybe to kill the old man?) and there was a huge explosion. One of the guys had either already died, or was killed in the explosion. The second guy walks out of the explosion and is pretty seriously injured and I think his eye had exploded/popped out of his head. He believes the whole ordeal is over and gets into an ambulance.As the ambulance beings to pull away, the guy says something about how it's over, and the murderer comes out of the shadows with the needle/a huge needle and says something, and then the movie ends.

Please, Please, Please help me. I saw this movie between 1985-1992 and it scared me almost to death. I believe I saw it on USA (Up All Night), it was in color, and I think the time period of the movie was suppossed to be the 80's. I just remember one scene. A woman (white, mid thirties to early 40s, short dark blond hair) is walking down a street (i believe in a subdivision) and she sees that a car accident has occured at the end of the street ( i think this is near her house) and she walks quickly up the street and she gets closer and there is an ambulance and paramedics and she sees the woman (i guess who is dead) and when she looks in her face, she sees that the woman is her! She drops the coffee mug she is holding (in slow motion it crashes on the street) and at first backs up slowly and then turns around and runs. FOr some reason I also remember a bird being important in the story. It has been bugging me for years and I still get chills when O think of it.

This is a movie I saw at the theaters within the last few years, not before 2000, I don't think. This movie was about a husband and wife and she was doing some kind of work in another country, possibly Africa. I remember it was with tribes of some sort. She went missing or died and her husband was constantly haunted. For some reason I believe he kept seeing butterflies or something. He ended up going to that country and going to the tribe who had taken care of his wife and he found that all this time they had been raising his child. The movie ended with the tribe giving him back his child.

These aliens come to retrieve the suit i think and he has to fight them and nearly gets killed but manages to kill them all in the end.

I checked this movie out in the video store about 10 years ago, but it was old then. The best way to describe it as a horror b-movie. From what I remember the killer was some kind of hermit whose gypsy parents had died. The movie was set in the woods or a small town. The movie ended with the killer kidnapping a woman and the sound of a baby crying in a cave(implying that the killer had impregnating the woman.)
Result: Ghost And Mrs. Muir starring Gene Tierney. Thanx Bobbilee. May 26, 2006
I saw this film about 40 years ago on television in Chicago. It was already an old black and white movie. I believe the movie began with an old woman sitting on a bench reminiscing about her long marriage to her beloved late husband. The movie goes on to show the story of their life together. The final scene is the woman sitting on the bench and the ghost of her late husband approaches her. He is young and dashing and we see the woman's spirit leave her now dead body and she is now young as well and the two of them walk off together. The ending still moves me to this day.

I saw a really cool independent film on the IFC channel a couple of years ago. It was in black and white but was a modern film. Its hard for me to remember all the plot but here is some of it:A man who lives in modern times lOOKS and ACTS like he is from the 1920's era. In one point in the film he gets in the wrong place at the wrong time and the these guys in the Mob are beating him up asking him if he knows anything about some plans they are looking for. The bad guys all use modern foul language like "listen fucker" and this guy tells them to "go suck a lemon" and they take it like he just told them to fuck off. Very funny!The man from the 1920's gets a girlfriend and she wants to have sex and starts making moves on him. He is shocked by her actions and says stuff like "you're a swell kid" or "keen girl" but that they just can't do that. She starts to get mad and thinks that he is gay. Remember that everyone else looks like they are from today or modern times, he is the only one that looks and acts like he is from the 1920's era.Its a wild movie and I've never seen anything like it before. But alas I FORGOT the name! If you have heard of a film or films that sound like this please just give me a list and I'll be able to find it. I have no idea who the actors were because this was an indie film. It was so well done though and just had a great idea for the story. The "man in modern times who looks and acts like he is from the 1920's" should give it away pretty quickly if you have evey seen it.
Result: L'enfant D'ea (1995) aka The Water Child Thanx Midnight Creeper. Apr 28, 2007
I think that it's a French film, or at least the film is in French. Anyway the story is about a retarded boy and a normal girl (about 13 years of age). They go on a flight and the plane goes down and they are the only ones who survive and are alone on a deserted island (i think in the Pacific).It's a drama and I think that girl dies in the end of blood poisoning after hurting her leg on a stone on that islad. It's a drama and a good film, I think it could have been filmed somewhere between 1985-2000, I realy can't put it in a smaller year range. It is more of a TV film.

This movie was in the early 80's (I don't believe 70's). It reminded me so much of an episode of The X-files with all of the Eve girls. Its about a troubled young teen girl who lives with her parents and has an older brother in his late teens/early 20's. One of the scenes, she has problems with her piano teacher who constantly points a sharp pencil under the girl's wrists to make her have proper hand position. Another scene shows her stealing cosmetics in a convenient store.The parents send the girl to a hospital. The people at the hospital lock her up in a room. She escapes by stuffing food or toilet paper in the lock. She finds monitors at the receptionists desk that show the other rooms. Inside each room, is a girl that looks exactly like her. She freaks out and tries to learn what is going on.There is a woman that works at the hospital. I think she had dark hair and was in her mid 30's. In the end of the movie, you find out she was the "missing" older clone. All of the girls were an experiment. The main girl escapes with the help of her brother. At the end of the movie, she purchases eyeshadow and sits infront of a fire with her brother. She no longer has problems looking at fire.Please help! Everyone I ask, has no idea what I'm talking about. I saw this movie as a kid on regular TV a few times in the 80's.

The movie was on NBC on a Monday between 1998-2000 and centered on a high school athlete with a life-threatening illness; he runs away with his girlfriend to a city that looks a lot like Vancouver BC "because they may not have a future,"; meanwhile back at the ranch, the boy's mom and the girl's mom - I'm pretty sure either Patty Duke or Valerie Harper were involved - look for their missing kids, and Patty/Valerie's character gets fired at a glove-making factory for not showing up; sparking a Norma Rae-type sub-plot. The whole movie was so overdone, and very bizarre, kind of like a Lifetime movie medley.

This film was from the mid to late 1970's. This was a segment type movie (like the twilite zone or something similar). There were I believe 5 separate stories. One story was a man who made some kind of deal to never die. He ends up being embalmed and his wife tries to kill him by chopping him up (to no avail). Another story was of a killer dressed as Santa Claus who ends up being let in to a house by a little girl. Another story was of a motorcycle "ghost" driver who ends up running someone off the road to kill them. I don't recall the other 2 stories, but they had similar death endings.

Probably released in 2001 it is a british comedy with probably simillar extras used in The full Monty. It was filmed in Northern England, with no famous actors that I can think of. It was about 3 daughters grown up very differently reunited back to their home town when their mother dies. it looks very funny, as one daughter is conservative and responsible, and another is slutty and a drunk etc. The only scene I can remember is when one sister walks in on the other sister while she is attempting to seduce the priest while smoking and drinking.
Result: A Wig For Miss Devore This mostly happens in an episode of Thriller. The woman buying the wig was a has-been actress that wanted to play the witch in movie. When she puts the wig on, she becomes more youthful and radiant; but when she takes it off, she turns into some kind of gnarly clawed creature.However, the ending is a tad different from how I recall it. (Details: I think after she drops the wig or it falls off, she gets hit by a car or something. Everyone within range of the accident rushes over; they seem revulsed by the monster. Meanwhile, a random female nobody had picked up the wig and put it on....) Thanx Apostic. May 23, 2006
It's a movie that has haunted me since I saw it in the 70's. A woman buys a wig at an antique shop or museum. The wig was apparently either the hair of a woman hanged for witchcraft or it was a wig that she wore when she was hanged. The woman buys it and takes it home. When she puts it on she seduces men and then there were scenes when you see the man grab her hair in passion, pull off the wig and she becomes a kind of monster that kills her lovers. At the end of the movie I vaguely remember her running and a building is on fire and crumbling and a pillar falls on her, pinning her and knocking off her wig. Then we see her horribly scarred face.

saw this as a little kid i think sometime in the early 80's. its a color movie made 70s or 80s that was a bunch of stories. cant remember if they were connected or not. very weird demonic movie. one of the stories was a group of rich weirdos who get off on doing dangerous stunts (or this may have been their punishment) they all get in these sleeping bags and lay in a circle on the floor. theres a huge heavy ball hanging from the ceiling on a string circling above them with the rope unraveling. it hits some guy in the stomach. then theres a huge blade type thing going back and forth above them kills a lady i think. another part of this movie this guy walks into a really long board room and throws this copy of time i think on the table at this other guy sitting at the end of this really long table the magazine says "god is dead" on the cover. i think theres also another part where god and the devil are playing chess, cant be sure. i may have mixed up a few movies, i saw this when i was like 4 or 5. i think i may remember seeing someone else use the "god and devil playing chess" on here. sorry if this is a repeat!

i sw this as a child in the early to mid 1980s and it used to haunt my dreams. from what i can remember, there's a doll. i'm almost certain it was pinocchio, or a doll made to look a lot like them. i believe it was wooden as well. at any rate, it's alive and when no one's around it moves. there's a particularly scary part where a woman is in the shower and when she opens the shower curtain the doll is sitting atop the toilet seat, staring at her (but it's not moving of course and looks entirely lifeless). it's creepy as hell, at least to a child. that is one of the only two specific scenes i can recall well. the other scene is the end. i believe the woman beats the doll to death or throws it out of the bathroom or something, but at any rate, the camera shows the doll lying on the floor with no one around it when all the sudden it sits up. i believe that is the last scene in the film, just the doll sitting up, so you're left to imagine what happened next. as i said, i saw this film in the early to mid 1980s (so it is definitely not the 1996 flick pinocchio's revenge) and it was probably made in either the 70s or 80s. i wish i could remember more. the movie scared the hell out of me at the time and still sticks with me.

OKay, when i was three (1987) my mother and i would go to the "video renting store" ie:Blockbuster, and i would pick out the same movie every time. I have no idea what it was and its been driving me crazy for about 6 years. Heres what i remember. It was animated. kind of like japanimation, atleast the characters had the same kind of eyes. there was a bad guy with long hair(dont remember the color) and a little girl (may have been a women or teenager) she was friends with a black horse, it was either a unicorn or a pegasus (it was a little one). The bad guy kidnapped her and at the end the two of them were on a cliff arguing and she kept saying no. well about that time the horse thing came to save her and the bad guy either threw or knocked him off the cliff. when that happened there was a flash of light and the horse transformed into a fullgrown horse with wings, still black, and he rescued the girl.

All his efforts to escape are in vain and the phone booth with him inside is crane lifted on to the back of a lorry, where he is transported to some type of freight train which leads to an underground network. He is eventually dropped off into a warehouse containing hundreds of phone booths that are also holding people captive.

I saw a movie on television probably back in the sixties when I was a kid. The movie was black and white, American or British (but I'm pretty sure it was American).The only thing I can remember was that it was a kind of screwball comedy type of film where a young married couple find a dead body in their apartment or either in a rented cottage or cabin. It seems like the rest of the film involved them sleuthing the murder. I got this film mixed up with the old Hitchcock "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"I would guess that the film was made in the 40s or early 50s.

Probably a late 60's/early 70's film. A ship sinks and many people are stranded on a life raft in the ocean. The raft is filled and people are hanging on the sides as well. There is also a dog on board (more about that later). Either the captain or the first mate (or maybe just a passenger) takes charge and for some reason, they need to start eliminating people from the raft. They begin choosing who must go and even keep the dog ahead of the some of the people because they considered they may have to eat it. That's pretty much all of the memory I have of this.

Hi. This movie is about 1 or 2 teenage boys in a coastal town, cape cod, east coast, summertime, and they meet an older woman who has a beautiful beach house. The 1 boy is smitten and ends up having somewhat of a crush on her or maybe even has an affair with her. It is like a first love movie. I'm thinking it is 1960's, maybe early 1970's but I don't think so. I thought maybe Natalie Wood or Ali Macgraw, but I can't even remember if the woman had blonde or brunette hair. Maybe she offered them lemonade at first meeting. I apologize that I can't remember more. I know it was a popular movie in it's time. Thank you for your assistance! This is a hard one, as I've spent a couple hours searching myself. I don't have character names. I haven't seen the movie for years. Thank you!

I seem to remember that it was very dark and there were cameras watching them?... was kinda spooky at the time but I was a little under the influence (hence the lack of memory!).It wasn't "My Little Eye" but came out about the same time (perhaps a little earlier) and I think it also had something to do with the internet but I may be getting confused with the latter film.Very vague I know but any ideas anyone may have please let me know.Cheers.

I am looking for an independent film made in the 1980s, possibly around 1985. It opens with a photojournalist returning to the U.S. (I think he might live in San Francisco) from a stint covering the suffering of people in an impoverised country in Africa (I have a feeling it was Biafra.) When he gets home he sees his long time lover, a female ballet dancer, and wants to resume the relationship with her, but she has started seeing a male ballet dancer. He has trouble accepting that their relationship is over. At one point they do "their dance" together. It is a little dance routine that she choreographed for them to do together even though he is not a dancer. Then they argue and she ends up hitting him and glass breaks and he cuts his hand. Somehow this really sparks their passion and they make love for one last time on the dance studio floor. But then he realizes it is over. The song of the opening and closing credits is by Peter Gabriel and I think has African themes in it. The opening credits have scenes of African dance. Also, there is a very minor side plot with one of the main character's friends who is practicing his really bad stand up comedy act.

I think the movie was made in the last ten years or so. It involved a woman living with her young son, he was maybe 12 years old. It was set in the 50s and they lived in a new housing estate and you see the fathers leaving for work each day and the other kids would make fun of the kid as he didnt have a dad. They had somehow come across a homeless guy (maybe form a car accident) and the mother was looking after him. The kid bonded with him and wanted him to be his father but he was keen to get back on the road. I thought it had starred someone like Russell Crowe as the homeless guy but I cannot find it listed against him.

Result: M (1931) German, with Peter Lorre as a serial killer. Thanx elwileycoyote. Jun 18, 2006
The film in question is definitely not "Citizen X". "Citizen X" is a film about the hunt for real life Russian serial killer Chikatilo, who "found" his victims in train stations and similar places. There is no telephone or telephone book involved, and not even an "X" refering in any way to the victims, as "Citizen X" is the name given to the at that point still unknown killer by the profiler. It's a HBO-movie, in colour, not a European/German black-and-white movie from, possibly, the Thirties and Forties. I sincerely doubt that there is even the remotest chance that the film the request is looking for is "Citizen X".- Juniper
This movie is about a killer who selects his victims from a telephone book. The names are selected from different pages and form an "X." This is why the movie is named Mr. X or perhaps Dr. X. Someone told us it is a German movie from around 1933 and said he saw it in a film festival in California. Black & white. It is not the well-known Dr. X of 1932. My father saw it in a theater around 1940. Thanks for any help to find this film.

I was a teenage boy so the sex scenes seem to be the parts I remember the most. It was about a man that was sleeping with a mother and a daughter. Although he spent a lot more time with the daughter, I remember she was talking to her mother on the phone while he teased her naked body with red rose peedles I think. And another time she was in one of these parades or parties in the street where everyone had on a mask and he grabbed her and pulled her into an ally and where they had sex again just a few feet away from the crouded street. And at the end the mother was getting out of one of the boats and went into this big house where she was going to meet him or both him and the daughter and he was going to kill the mother but the daughter killed him.

He had her necklace in his hand, and then suddenly threw it off the boat into the water. As it sank down a giant sea turtle swam up and swallowed it.I'm afraid that's all I can remember, as I was very young when I saw it, maybe four or five.I would love to know what it was. It was so sad that I've never forgotten it in all theseyears! Thank you!

This was a short take on HBO that was played in the 80's maybe 80-85. I think it was about a guy who answer a job ad. He walks into an empty home and a reel of film comes to life and starts to chase the guy around the office...the film crawls around like a snake. At one point the guy slams a door and locks himself in a room but we can see the film slide underneath the door and start to wrap around his foot. It ended with the film wrapping itself around the guy's entire body and I think it burped and then spit out his shoes. We then see the film go back to its reel and I believe another person looking for a job rings the doorbell.

I enjoyed this movie and would love to watch it again...but only if I could remember the name!The name of a made for TV movie '?' (not 100% sure about that) escapes me because I think I was too young, probably about 4 or 5, maybe 6 or 7. That would make that time frame from 1979-1982 roughly.The plot: All I can remember is watching the TV and a "man" appears to be being chases in the woods or a jungle. The man is hidding and covering his body with mud and also jumps into the water in attempt to hide and there are lots of explosions. For some odd reason I think there is a link (time frame) between the actor from the movie "My Bodyguard's Adam Baldwin" and the man on the run in this movie. Maybe the man on the run looks similar before he transforms into this animal-like man on the run? I think I was watching the movie with my father so it was definitely adult oriented. The man on the run did not talk much and I think he was animal-like in some ways. Animal-like means he was like prey on the run, but also maybe he had some physical gift to out run the predator...which I think was the law or maybe the military...again not sure.The best way to sum up the plot is to call this movie RAMBOesqMovie was in color and I think it was a made for TV movie but have no real reason to say that only because I did not see it in the thearters and perhaps it was a CBS SPECIAL

I watched this movie on TV around 1993. I can only remember the end scene. It takes place in like a desert on some type of pyramid. A man shoots this woman in the leg with an arrow from a bow. He then walks over to her. She rips the arrow out of her leg and stabs him to death.

Hi,I have tried other places and the Film dept. in the Uni where I work, but...Australian film. Small town/village/trading post. Teenage boy likes girl, girl ends up liking other boy who is a bit of a rebel and in trouble with police(?). tanage boy no. 1 plays guitar and either his parents or hers run a pub in outback - rain on tin roof. All three (?) end up in a derelict/deserted house with boy no.2 hiding out and girl preparing/deciding (?) to go off with him. Probably late 80's early 90's.
