Saw this on tv late one night in 1992: possible a made-for-tv movie with a circa mid '60s or early '70s feel, washed-out color film. A young couple are the main characters. Woman has longer dark hair. Man's hair is coiffed a la Gary Cooper. Man is wearing a turtleneck, maybe the woman is, too, and maybe a shorter skirt? Vest? They spend a lot of time standing around a car that has crashed into a big tree on the side of the road in the countryside. There's mist, and no other traffic. Nothing much around. In the background or somewhere off to the left down the road is a mansion with an older man living there. There's some interaction between the couple and the man, or one of the spouses and the man. Can't remember much else, but at some point near the end either the husband or wife (or both?) realize that the other spouse (or both of them?) died in the crash. Wish I could remember more. (sounds very much like Topper with Cary Grant, but it was in B&W - me)

I believe I saw this film on Cinemax in the late 80's or early 90's. It was a European made movie set in Victorian times about a husband and wife that visit an inn. The room they occupy is nice but decorated with sensual pictures. The wife is aroused by these but the husband is too puritanical to pursue any action. The slimeball innkeeper, who reminds me of Snidely Whiplash, is in total lust for the wife. One evening she returns to the room to take a nap while her husband is away. The inkeeper waits until she is asleep and then sneaks in. She awakes comically to what she thinks is her husband making love to her while she stares at one of the sensual pictures on the wall (it is really the greaseball innkeeper). She only seems mildly annoyed when she finds out the truth.

Sometime in the mid to late 80s when I was a child, I had a Masters of the Universe VHS that wasn't part of the regular cartoon series. It was actually comprised of a series of single animation frames that were foiced by actors, rather than your average run of the mill motion animation. It also had a couple different stories. One of which was about how Skeletor managed to steal He-Man's power sword and merge their two swords together so he could unlock the front "jawbridge" of Castle Grayskull. Another one of the tales had He-Man entering this giant eye that was inside of Castle Grayskull called "the Great Eye of Eternia" or something like that. I've searched all over the internet and no one's ever heard of it before.

I saw this film on TV between 1980 and 1995. It was set in an American high school and the main theme was a group of students who were organising/performing an end of year concert featuring songs and a band. there was a romance between two of the students which involved opposition from parents and /or teachers both to the romance and the concert itself. There was a cliff nearby which one of the characters fell or jumped off and died. The concert took place as a tribute to the dead student and the film ended with great applause from all concerned in the dispute and tearful expressions of sorrow.

This movie was made in the last 3-4 years (2005-2008). It is about a teenage boy who gets shot by a teenage girl from his school. He is sort of in a coma, but not. She thinks that she has killed him in the forest and has her guy helpers put him in a drain. The boy thinks he's dead, but he's more like in-between life and death. The girl is a small time petty thief and can hear him speak but very faintly. She lives with her mother, her mother's new husband, and her little brother. She is a troubled teen. At the end of the film, she is shot, finds the boy, calls the police, and he is rescued. She then goes to the hospital where he is and lays down next to him in the hospital bed. It leads you to believe that she gives up her life in order for him to survive. The last scene of the movie had the teen guy talking to her brother, who is flying a model plane where he shouldn't be. The befriend each other, and fly the plane for her.
Result: Secret Admirer (1985) with C. Thomas Howell, Kelly Preston, Lori Loughlin, Fred Ward, and a bunch of other familiar figures from the Eighties.

I saw this film late 90's, although it was on t.v. so it could have been released late 80's to late 90's, although the look of the film suggests its a 90's movie in colour. I can't remember much about the plot, but i think it was a typical boy meets girl teen romance.i can remember one scene (possibly the ending) after the boy and girl have some sort of argument( she feels he has changed and isnt the same person anymore so she leaves him), he comes to his senses and grabs his motorbike.he races to find the girl who is set to leave on a boat with her mother. he races on his bike to the end of the pier shouting for the girl, the girl hearing him shout turns round and sees him. they both jump into the water and starts swimming towards each other for a happy ever after kiss.i think that was the ending.

I watched this movie on Showtime back in the early 90's. Began with attractive sarcastic teenage girl (18?) breaking up with her boyfriend who is approx. same age. She may have told him "Your're boring". Shortly later, maybe the next day, the ex-boyfriend seed her father leaving for work and tells him "your slut daughter broke up with me". The girl meets some tough guy mechanic and follows him to big city (maybe New York ?) I thought the movie was called True Love or True ?

The movie I am looking for is rather recent in the past few years. I had it written down, but have misplaced it. A man is notified that his father or grandfather died, who is japanese, I think. The young man is married to a pretty american wife and they have a young son. They fly back to Japan to attend funeral, and shortly after the young man is called back to the states because of urgent work. The wife and little boy decide to stay and tend to the widow. Business associates and the widow of the deceased are alwalys acting like they are hiding a secret. the little boy begins seeing a ghost of a girl and she is very scary. She keep leading him to a room in the home that is locked. A series of hauntings begin and the wife of the deceased keeps tight lipped about whats going on, because she knows these are vengful ghosts. It turns out that many many years ago they were in the business of doing traditional ceremonies of bones that were disturbed for whatever reason and paid to respectfully put them to rest. But what they did instead was take the money and not bury the remains. They used the money to drain some kind of liquid from animals. Really disgusting, but can't remember why. they kept the remains that people gave them and put them in a wall and forgot about them and there were hundreds! The girl the little boy keeps seeing apparently caught the eye of the old man that died when he was young, but the woman who is now widowed, murdered her back them because she was jealous. So this old woman knows that this is the girls spirit. Anyways the little boy is being haunted by these ghosts because I think they want him to release their souls, or they want their revenge and decide to take his soul. Can't remember that part, but the little boy begins to get hurt by the ghosts and starts to get really sick. the ghostly parts of the movie are really scary. The young man comes back to get his wife and son after she frantically calls him and tells him that the little boy is very sick and could die, because the ghosts are draining his life. Of course he thinks his wife is just losing it and returns to find out that it is true. They end up following the little boy to the room and they discover the wall and break the bricks and tons of bones begin to fall out of wall. The ghosts get there revenge on those that did this to them, including the old woman hiding in her room upstaris while the bones are being released. I just can't remember the name of this flick. It was on SCIFI channel about 2 months ago. Very cool scary movie and very recent. There were no well known actors in this flick, but it was a great movie.

So this movie is probably from the early 90's or late 80's. I borrowed it many many times form the library. But I was quite young so the details are a little sketchy. I know that there is a boy and a girl who are running away from some people (family?) with dogs chasing them, then they dive underwater and it becomes animated. Underwater I'm not sure all that happens, but I know there are singing cherubs or babies with lots of bubbles and what looks like a bird bath. I'm pretty sure the film becomes real life again when the children return out of the water.

The film may be foreign maybe not, it was set in the 1600's I believe and was about a pretty maiden sent to marry a rich unattractive older man and they lived in a palace type dwelling. The story is about the maiden and the rich mans nephew, they fall in love & have an affair. Some jealous woman spying down the corridor tells on them & they are eventually discovered. The ending is quite sad, as the nephew betrays the maiden he so called loved by having a meaningless roll in the hay with the maidens chamber maids, right in front of her and the maiden finally lands up living her life in dungeon, at some convent. I want to say this movie was based on a true story. I don't remember any subtitles and it was in color and in english but there were accents, I want to say it was french, I may be wrong. I watched this film about 12-15 yrs ago. I thought it was called blasphemy, but I think I am wrong. The VHS case was black I remember with red wording. It was not Moll Flanders or princess Bride. I didn't recognize any of the main characters, but I think the rich Uncle wasn't a complete unknown.

I am looking for a movie that I THINK was in the theatres, but it may have been an after school special. It was in the late 70's or very early 80's.In it, a boy (for sure) and I think a girl, went to their aunt's house for a visit while their parents went on vacation. The parents ended up dying in a car accident and the aunt raised the kids and was a total control freak. I think she wanted them as her own but wouldn't let them leave the house or anything. The only real part I remember was that the aunt cut the brake line on their car and ultimately murdered the parents herself. I was thinking someone like Jimmy McNichol or Lance Kerwin played the role of the boy

this movie is i think from the eighties. The main character is a girl with short brown hair and I think her name is Toby. I remember the movie being a sort of slasher comedy. It begins with some words at the bottom of the screen, cliche horror phrases are written. I know there is a killer on the loose and its high school/college kids that are being killed. I also remember Toby putting on a blonde wig and fake boobs to seduce a male teacher. But i think she does that to steal a file from his office. I think someone gets killed on a parade float and I have a vague memory of a person getting killed in a van. The reason he/she is in the van is to hookup with someone else.I think the movie ends with a hand coming out of a grave to grab onto Toby's arm.

Seen on TV during the late 60's or possibly very early 70's.Film was about people and children living in a remote area of the US, away from others.They had special powers which included the ability to fly, although they kept these abilities and their true nature very secret.They seemed to be in danger from other (normal) people and were very afraid of letting others know of their true nature. They may have been being pursued by the gov't. I -think- that they were actually from another planet and at the very end I recall some sort of demonstration of their flying ability.I think the film was in color, but we did not have a color television.This film is Not escape to witch mountain, I'd guess is was made-for-tv, but am not 100% certain.

I'm searching for an old foreign film. I think it was set in the 1600-1800's about a young lady chosen to marry someone rich & much older and of course not attractive at all. The maiden later has an affair with the uncles nephew. A jealous servant tells on the maiden who is married to the uncle and I believe she was sent to a monastery and sentenced to life in a dungeon. It stated it was based on a true story. I thought the film was called blasphemy or blasphemous, but I haven't found it. I remember the VHS tape cover was black and the words were red. I keep thinking it was the title I mentioned earlier but I could be wrong, I saw this movie about 15 years ago. It is not subtitled. I know in the movie the female character had servants, who also later had an affair w/ this nephew. It was a wild movie.and pretty good for a foreign film of that nature. The male actor was not american, neither the female actress, they were all European. The nephew portrayed in the film had this Joaquin Phoenix aura to him. I'm starting to think it wasn't called blasphemy, but some other cool sounding word, that pretty much meant the same or was related to something bad happening. There wasn't any violence in the movie and i do remember the maiden eventually broke off the relationship w/ the nephew and then the nephew started having a meaningless relationship, with the 2 servant girls, right there in front of his ex-lover, just to spite her.

Early to mid 80's. Saw part of it on TV. Color film.Old crazy man that holds a child or young adult hostage is a multilevel house in a residential area. The old crazy man might be a Nazi and his captive a Jew. House is full of booby traps. I remember someone trying to help the captive to escape, a child friend or suspicious neighbor. One of the traps gets tripped sending a sword or blade sweeping across a exit route in the attic. I remember a projector and film playing in the house, possibly some war footage. I think the captive was held in a cage or box. Windows covered. This is probably some craptastic B thriller.

I am looking for a movie from the late 80's early 90's. It's about a little blond girl and for some reason she is walking in the woods. There was a group of boys who found her in the woods and I think were trying to rape her, there was one boy that didn't really want too. She ends up paralyzed somehow, then her and her mother were at a garage sale and a man sold them a chair, and the chair had some kind of power and the girl was somehow able to send her "spirit" out and kill the boys who tried to rape her. The boy that didn't really want to be there, I think she killed him by first seducing him then somehow fastening his belt buck to some stairs and she dropped a huge chandelier on him.

Hello from Bulgaria, folks :).I'm looking for this movie from a long long time. I've watched it about 15 years ago.At the beginning of the movie there were 4 or 5 guys who went into a basement. There was a pentagram created from laser beams. They summoned "the devil". It was very fast moving little creature (a little devil). One of the lazer beams failed and the devil escaped. Everyone that got bitten or scratched by the devil started turning into very ugly creatures. At some point two of the guys found themselves into another dimension or a parallel universe or hell, I'm not sure, and they somehow returned the devil into hell. The movie ends at a graveyard, where the mouse, they've sacrificed at the devil's summoning ceremony (at the beginning of the movie), came out of an open coffin.

As a child I saw this movie, so I'm guessing it was in early 70's. A man gets locked into a room, like a big Den. He cannot escape. While in the room, the fireplace slides open (or he opens it somehow), revealing a crawl space behind it. The man crawls through the opening, and eventually falls (or goes into) a room from a trap door in the crawl space. He is now trapped in the room with no way to gte back to the door on the ceiling, no doors, etc. Later, another man opens the trap door from above who is obviously the mans enemy, and gives him a gun with a single bullet, implying that the man commit suicide as he will never get out.

Result: The Hand (1981) with Michael Caine. Thanx dillpicklehole. Nov 14, 2009
This was early to mid 1980's and in color. It was a horror film I believe; possibly Sci Fi. Unfortunately there are only a few details that I remember. One of the major things I do remember would be a severed hand. The severed hand seemed to be one of the main characters. I remember it terrorizing a man who may or may not have been its original owner. I recall this man being in a hospital, but I don't think he was a doctor. He may have been a patient. I remember there being a room within the hospital where big black garbage bags were piled up and inside them were body parts that seemed to still be moving. This severed hand would attach itself to things and people at the wrist almost like it has suction cups on it. The only other thing I remember is a man being chased, by what I don't know, probably the hand and he at one point was inside a cabin or an old house where a circular saw had come up from the floor and went right between his legs, but missed him.

I am looking for a 80's to early 90's film, it was all in color, I can t remember much other than a few scenes. First thing I remember is a boy in his bed room talking to a big machine and the boys mom talking to the boy from outside his room, the device tells the boy to let his mother in, but the boy says no, the machine wanted to do something to the mother if I remember correctly. I vaquely recall it was nighttime in the scene and the machine hasd lights all over it. The next scene I remember is a girl in a car listening to music,I think she was wearing pink.but not too sure on that. Anywasy she was alone in the car and then suddenly her clothes start to either come off on their own, or they are taken off by some invisible force, perhaps the music is doing it.the last scene is a guy yelling at another guy about how his girlfriend ended up in the hospital or something to that effect.

I saw this move on Plex nearly 10 years ago (1999 or 2000) late at night. I only saw the last five minutes and have been curious ever since about the title. The ending is set inside a large mansion. There are grand stairs which lead to a landing, and then the stairs split and go right and left. There is a large window at the landing. In the final scenes of the movie, a man in his thirties who is dressed very nicely (and perhaps wearing an ascot) is backing slowly up the stairs as he is approached by young girls dressed in white or pastel dresses. They are dressed more old-fashioned than he. I don't remember that they physically push the man (in fact I don't think they do), but they are menacing him all the same. He falls to his death through the window as a lady screams (she is clearly not a part of the girls and is more his age). The movie is in color and has the feel of a 1970s film, but I can't be sure. I remember that the girls were wearing old-fashioned white or pastel dresses, and I want to say the lady who was screaming was blonde or strawberry blonde. The mansion appeared to be very formal. I doubt this helps, but the movie which followed that night on Plex was Incubus.

I've been searching the internet for this movie. I believe it's from the 90s & I saw it on tv. I'm pretty sure it was HBO, or a channel like that. I don't remember too much about the movie, but what I do know is that the film is set in a prison of some sort. There are a lot of tough guys, and they're always fighting. In one particular scene, I can remember 2 guys arguing. One has a large gun and he shoots the other guy. The gun shot victim has a HUGE hole in his stomach, but is still standing. They were standing in this room, where it was empty, and there was a catwalk type thing, which the shooting takes place.

Sometime before 1983 at the latest, I saw a movie at the drive in, and the only scene I remember is a monster chasing some people into a cabin, and as they close the door, the monsters hand gets chopped off and falls to the floor, where is sort of shatters and the fingers go chasing after the people in the room. The hand as I remember it was rather grey green and almost clay like.

Result: House Of Mystery (1961) Thanx Midnight Creeper. Aug 9, 2009
A black and white film that I saw in c. the late 1960s in a cinema in the UK: I now only remember the final scene. A woman is explaining the history of a house. There, a jealous husband had entrapped his wife in a room in which all of the exits were electrified. The wife died in that room. When the listeners ask how the narrator knows all this, she says "I was that woman" and fades away - she was the ghost of the victim.

I worked in a video store from 1992 until 1994. There was a horror sequel that came out on video at that time. I can't remember the name. It had a wild looking woman on the front that had blades and knives in her skin. She was normal to begin with and had a boyfriend with her but she turned into a killer and I believe he was one of her victims. She had sharp knives or razor blades sticking out of her face, lips and all over her and I think alot of piercings. It seems like she had red hair if I'm not mistaken. This movie was either a part 2 or part 3.I'm not sure.

I recently saw a movie on the Showtime network of Austar (2009) and am wondering what it is called.Some keywords I remember are: - psychic sister - doctor husband - deformed wife - Dark Thing (what the daughter called her mother) - captive in the basement.A bit about the plot:The sister, who I think was named Christy, was called back to her home town for the funeral of someone she knew. Once she got there she went to visit her sister's (who had "died" after a car crash) family but is rudely turned away.She begins to think that her sister is not really dead and does some investigating. Thanks to her psychic skills though, she realises that her sister's husband, who may have been named John? is trying to capture her and put her in the basement. But it turns out that she is only seeing this because that's what he did to her sister when the sister (who is deformed and can't speak) killed her nurse who happened to be having an affair with the husband.So the sister, Christy? ends up killing the husband in self-defence and the daughter of the deformed woman kills the deformed woman and then the daughter and the sister are the only two left.Thank-you very much.
Result: Trick 'r Treat (2008) Although there were some screenings, it never had a wide release. It will be released on DVD this October. This is the as-yet-to-be-released flick (not to be confused with the similarly-named "Trick or Treat" from 1986), an anthology tale with a host of familiar names such as Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, Tahmoh Penikett ("Battlestar Galactica"), and Lauren Lee Smith ("CSI").

Result: Help Wanted: Male (1982) (TV) Thanx Marphisa. Jan 12, 2010
This film is a romance, seen in VHS, somewhere between the mid 80's and early 90's. The film is about a woman who's about to get married with a man who is sterile. Since she wants a baby, her fiancée, a rich and influent man, accepts her to hire (I don't know in what terms exactly - if for money or favor) another man to get her pregnant. This hired man, then, moves in with her, in her mansion (don't remember if hers or the fiancée's) to sleep with her until she's withchild. The problem is that this man ends up falling in love with the woman, and then starts to sabotage her chances of getting pregnant. One of the tactics I remember he used was putting contraceptive pills on her breakfast juice. But she finds it out and, instead of confronting him, substitute the pills for vitamins. Another scene is one when she is finally pregnant but, after an argument with someone, trips on a stair, falls and suffers a miscarriage.
Result: Something Wild (1961) starring Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker, Mildred Dunnock, Maureen Stapleton A girl who is raped is saved from a suicide attempt only to find herself the captive of a would-be rescuer. She blinds him with a kick in the eye, but he's not the one who raped her. Thanx MystMoonstruck, Midnight Creeper. Aug 2, 2009
I saw this movie on television before 1965. In it a teenage girl was on her way to school when she was "seduced" away from the bench she was sitting on and ended up being kidnapped. He took her to his basement (with a window) apartment where he raped her and she blinded him in one eye in the fight.She ended up pregnant and continued to fight her kidnapper, with him complaining about her not cooking and cleaning. He eventually left her money and the door unlocked. Instead of running away to the police she went shopping, got a haircut and bought a bunch of baby things. She also invited her family over and he came home surprised.

I'm searching for the name of a film that I think is from the 80's, in color, and I believe I watched it on a cable movie chanel. I'ts about an agent(maybe FBI) who is looking for a killer. He get's his son involved because he is some kind of genius kid. The only other part I remember is that they end up in some caves, I think in Utah, and the killer is building some kind of Noahs Ark or something.
Result: Sudden Terror (1970) aka Eyewitness starring Mark Lester (best-known as the star of "Oliver!"), Lionel Jeffries, Susan George After witnessing an assassination, a boy who is noted for his many lies claims the killers are after him. Thanx MystMoonstruck. Aug 2, 2009
I saw this in a theatre in the late 1960's or early 1970's. It was color (I think) and a foreign film. No subtitles but it may have been dubbed. It's about a young boy known for his vivid imagination who witnesses a murder. The murderers know that he saw the crime and now they are after him. No one believes there are people after him. I am pretty sure he survives at the end, but is a suspenseful movie. I think of coastal scenes when I remember this movie but I was very young so don't remember too well.
Result: Back From Eternity (1956) starring Rod Steiger (You're right!), Robert Ryan, Anita Ekberg, Gene Barry, Fred Clark, Beulah Bondi, Jesse White, Barbara Eden (film debut) This is a remake of "Five Came Back" (1939). In the final scene, he shoots an elderly couple, with no bullet left for himself, as the headhunting natives (unseen) approach. Thanx MystMoonstruck, Marphisa. Jan 7, 2010
A film from the fifties or sixties, with I think Rod Steiger (though going through his films on imdb it seems not). Memorable final scene where hero and girlfriend are surrounded by group of savages in a jungle, with only one bullet remaining, hero shoots girlfriend to save her from much more grizzly death.Would be fantastic to know the title, and see who isn't Rod Steiger who plays the lead!

i saw this movie on what was called watl aka the wb in atlanta. i think the movie was made in the 1980s maybe early 1990s. it was a bout a group of troubled foster kids who decide to escape one day. i remember one of the kids was black and he burned down a house. there was also a girl in the group but she was posing as a boy. i also remember that one of their many adventures in the movie included them going to some house with a white guy so crazed with japanese culture that he dresses like a japenese man and ate raw fish out of the fridge. it was a delightful movie and i would love to see it again.

I am looking for a movie that i saw a long time ago when i was a kid, which was in the 90's. I don't know if the movie is from the 90's or not. It was an animated movie that reminded me of a Miyazaki type anime style. The only real parts i remember are that a large crowd of people are standing in front of this massive curtain and behind the curtain is a huge cave. Some people go inside, on a carpet i think, possibly trying to save someone, again i dont know if they are, but they start to get chased by this black stuff, be it smog or goo i don't really know.

I am looking for an episode from a show from the late 80's or early 90's. If I remember correctly it was a Tale From the Crypt like show. I recall a young man who is gambling and at the end of the episode he has to light his lucky lighter on one try or he gets his fingers or hand cut off. And the guy who is betting him on this is missing a few fingers. I thought it might be the episode "Cutting Cards" from TFTC, but I just don't think that is right.

I don't recall the exact plot, but remember that towards the end, the lead caracter (male, dark hair) got closer to the answer (of a conspiracy? or murder? don't recall) and that he was put in a small submarine or unit that went down below the sea (or lake) and he ran out of oxygen (on purpose to kill him), but he managed to survive.

I saw this film on TV in the very early 1970's (sorry- that's my best guess for timeframe). The most I can recall is that there were some children who seemed to have strange capabilities like psychokinesis. In the end, a bunch of kids boarded a spaceship and I remember Neil Young's song "After the Goldrush" being played. That album was released in 1970, so the movie was likely shortly thereafter.

Looking for a film that may have been a made-for-TV movie from the 1980s about an alienated American teenager/young adult who moves to either East or West Germany with her father. While staying in an old apartment, she begins to become possessed by another young East German woman, who unhappily lived and died there years before--possibly by suicide. I believe there is a scene where she experiences an episode from the other woman's life while in a bathtub.

I am looking for the name of this movie. a suited guy with a briefcase is just finished work and he is walking home through a big city park. he gets in to a verbal spat with a group of teenagers gang types. they chase him and he climbs a big tree to get away from them. they gather at the base of the tree to wait till he comes down - they want to get him.night falls and the gang and the man are still in the park - he gets to know abit more about the gang especially one young couple who turn out to be brother and sister though all along its implied that they are lovers.During the night a really evil gang roams through the park and the first gang tells the man in the tree to be quiet and they all hide from the bad gang.the scene where the bad gang is silently moving tru the dark is one of the most scariest scenes ive ever seem.

The movie I am looking for was shown on TV in the early 2000's but was probably made earlier, maybe in the 1980's or 1990's. It appeared to be a film and not made for TV. I only saw a bit of it but would like to identify it so that I can see the rest.It is a gritty western with a darker tone than most but I can remember one scene which is probably unique enough to identify it. In this scene a boy (teenager) seems to be on a mission to go somewhere. He is on horseback but he stops on the way to relieve himself. He collects some leaves with which to wipe himself after wards and proceeds to squat in some bushes. While there a man (or two?) sneak up on him and steal his horse at gun point. But they don't kill him and he continues on foot.

I'm trying to find the name to a movie I saw in the 1970's. It's about a young girl who was taken in by a family when she was a baby. The family's children start to die in unfortunate accidents, and the father catches the mumps from the young girl and is therefore made sterile, when he and his wife try to have more children. It turns out the girl's mother turned up on the couple's doorstep and soon after went into labour and had the baby girl. She then disappeared leaving the baby girl behind, and then when their own baby mysteriously dies, the couple decide to keep her and raise her as their own. There's a reference in the film to a bird that lays it's eggs in another birds nest, and when the eggs hatch they kill the other bird's young.

I have this reoccuring vision from a movie and all I can remember is that people are on a boat (maybe submarine, I'm not exactly sure) and they drown in there beds. I think that they might trapped or pinned under the beds some how. I thought I had found the movie that I keep seeing over and over in my head, but when I watched it tonight, it was not what I was looking for (Cocoon). I'm thinking it's older because I saw it when I was young (I was born in 1985) but I can't remember for sure.

I saw a movie in the mid-80's about a woman who leaves with a family then leaves her baby there. The children in the movie begin dying starting with a baby that the abandoned baby girl was in the crib with. As time goes on the keep the girl and the next scene I remember her is the girl pushing one of the older brothers in some water where he drowns. So it is like this abandoned girl is picking off the kids. The only other scene I remember involves the dad at the very end. He leaves the family and sees the same woman that left her baby with a new family. He freaks out because of it.
