Can anyone tell me what this is? It was a film about a normal family in America, who either moved to a neighbourhood, or the main protagonists moved in beside them. Anyway, they seemed so normal, they were even involved in the Scouts, but it turned out they were terrorists. I think it was a kindov a B-rated, straight-to-tv type film.

It wasn't a B movie but it sounds like the plot to Arlington Road

hey all

The movie I'm looking for is set in the 40/50/60s I think. It's about the British invading an african country. It's on the same lines as Zulu. I think there are battles in the african desert.

At the end of a battle they british troops come home and I think one of their girlfriends has married someone else.

That's really all I can remember.

hey everyone, im looking for the name of a movie that i can NOT remember. The small amount that i remember is; a black guy steals a briefcase full of money AND kidnaps a girl. He takes her back to a hotel, when he goes to take a shower, she opens the briefcase and gets dyed from the dye pack because it was stolen from a bank. That is all i can remember, thanks for any help!

Were they fighting Africans in the movie or the Germans?

Hi, I've been searching for a film everywhere and no luck!
It's about a couple who live together in their apartment, very quirky film.
Every morning when they wake they say "Good morning, person" or something like that!
They young enough and the woman was unfaithful. That's all I remember! Anyway please let me know if you know what film I'm talking about! Thanks!

Hey, NoQuarter. It wouldn't be The Four Feathers, would it?

A 1970s or maybe late 60s movie where a young white boy is on the run with a black man,not sure what the relationship between them was.I think it was set in Australia and the black man was not an Aboriginal.They were on the run from a villian who was I think trying to kill the boy.In the end there a showdown at some sort of tourist spot at the top of a sheer cliff and theres a struggle where the baddie ends up falling to his death.I can't remember any more details about it.

Sounds like storm boy.

Backroads (1977) has a pair, one black one white.

May not be it. There is a shooting at the end.

EDIT - should be on YouTube.

... but I'd love a hand. I've been trying to think of the name of this movie for years. I think it's from the last 10 - 15 years ago or so. What I remember:

A stuntman, somewhere in mexico/ arizona (someplace like that) falls off his horse and is convalescing in some kind of hospital or inn or something. It seemed very dusty and rural. It may or may not have had something to do with Harold LLoyd. Maybe I'm making that up, though! There was a cute little Mexican or Spanish girl that would visit him, and I think he would tell her stories.

Anybody know what it could be called? Thank you!

No this was deffo not it.It may not even have been Australian but the setting seemed very Aussie.It could have been South Africa but more than likely Australian.The black man was deffo not an Aborigine,he was African extraction or Carribian which was what makes me think maybe SA but its unlikely an Apartheid era movie would have had a leading black actor.

Edit:the white boy was pretty young,maybe about ten.I think I can vaugely remember a scene where the main villian kills his parents early on in the film.

Hard one to call. Something similar made in 1971 called walkabout by Nicholas roeg but don't think it's your one.

Biketard,

Thanks so much, that may well be it! I'm going to give it a watch this weekend but by the looks of the trailer that's the one!

Cheers!

looking for an old Sherlock Holmes movie. The plot is a bank is robbed by tunnel being dug from the street. The plot twist is that a dummy vault has been build and Sherlock figures out that the depths do not match. I checked a listing of the black and white movies but didnt see any that matched. So may have been a 50's 60's movie???. Its possible the whole thing is a figment of my childhood imagination but I dont think so

Any help would be great

Wow well done never would have remembered Moore and had it pegged as an older movie in my head. Then again had black and white TV at the time.

Unfortunately I can't remember if this one was a movie or a TV show like the Twilight Zone but I would have seen it in the late 70s or very early 80s. It's about an aircrew crashed in the desert sort of like Flight of the Phoenix waiting for a rescue team only it turns out they were all killed in the crash or died later of thirst and the rescue team are only there to retrieve their bodies and the crew are all now ghosts. If I recall correctly as each guy's body gets dug up their ghost disappeared.

Please someone tell me that I didn't imagine this plot.
