Pretty sure that's True Identity starring Lenny Henry.

I am looking for the name of a film I saw only a small part of but it looked funny. It was about a couple who go to a cabin for a holiday and they want to have sex but run into contraception problems. There were parts of the film where they demonstrated how the different contraceptives work by showing men dressed in sperm suits racing around a race track. It probably isn't very good, I just need to know the name of it.

It's pretty decent actually. I like the sequence with the giant tit maurauding the countryside.

That's the one thanks. Can't believe I didn't realise it was a Woody Allen film but to be fair i was quite a bit younger when I came across it. I'll have to check it out again

Worth it, if only for the Gene Wilder in love with a sheep scene...

OK, I need a thriller. Some military dude gets frozen with liquid nitrogen (Not Golden Eye or Jason X). Set on an island, the FBI sends some people to investigate something or other. Possibly starring a rapper turned actor (Like Ice Cube or Ice T but not Vanilla Ice, or possibly no Ice person at all, but still a rapper). The twist at the end was the killer ended up being the guy that sent them there.

It's Mindhunters and LL Cool J you're thinking of.

Thanks, dude! It was for someone else who does not have faith in the power of Boards Film dorks. We sure showed her.

This is either a Mini-series or a TV movie. Can't remember much, believe it was 80's, I don't know why but i always thought it was Christopher Eccleston that starred in the title role.

It was British, about a young man whom has some sort of mental health problems, he somehow meets another man (might be a friend) whom has just finished Medical School and is about take up his position as a junior doctor at a hospital. He kills the doctor and assumes his identity and takes up the position himself.

He causes some accident and a patient dies and he frames a nurse for it.

That's all i can remember.

Thanks.

I'm looking for a foreign film, suspense/horror, I think it was most likely in French. It was about a family (possibly a politician or some sort of public official) who start to receive videotapes of recordings of the front of their house on their doorstep. I'm sorry that is all I can remember, thank you in advance.

Right, trying to think of the name of a film, most likely a really, really famous one. Set during the holocaust, in colour. The only scene I can remember is when the Jews have all been rounded up and are waiting to be put on the train to a concentration camp. There's a young boy selling some sweets (nougat?) for a ridiculous amount of money, even though he's going to die. The main guy in the film buys some and cuts it up and shares it with his family/friends.

Had a moment eerily reminiscent of that scene today at a cycling event! I had one bar left and gave it to a guy, but his whole family of 5 arrived and he broke up the one small bar and shared it with them.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was The Pianist!

Anyone know the name of this movie. Chris Kleine is in it, he fancies some girl at school and in one scene his sister kisses her on a swing - his sister has long dark hair and braces. He's pretty depressive in it?? Its been doing my head in for months, I saw it years and years ago and this is literally all I remember!

Any chance it is election http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126886/,
I remember he has a sister with long dark hair and braces but cannot remember the swing scene.

Election is a great movie.

This is purely out of curiosity (as in, I'm not sure I ever want to see this film again).

Something I saw on TV probably in the 70s. It was a black and white horror movie and I only remember the end, which was that the heir to this aristocratic family was actually a giant toad/frog, so they kept him in the attic of their stately home/castle?

I realize that this sounds like a hallucination (maybe it was! but I was only young at the time, so no drugs involved).

The Maze! That's it! It's just as odd as I remembered. I really was starting to think I had dreamt it. Thanks a mill, brian_t.

Kerryman1973 · 27-09-2013 7:10pm
