    Probably not right, but my guess would be "Million Dollar Baby" As in, you would find a rich baby in a gold pram.

    Sounds good, thanks Wextext.

    The phrase suggests name of famous movie:

    1. Story of mashed fruit
    2. Michelle & Bo live here but neither speak english
    3. THEBA
    4.confused river rose sounds

    I'm looking for the name of a short-lived TV series that i saw a couple of years back (believe it was cancelled after a few episodes):

    I know it was set in 2 or 3 parallel worlds, one world shows a cop who wakes up from some sort of accident and when he goes home, his home is not there, he later discovers he's in a parallel world, this world looks futuristic.

    In another parallel world, the world looks really desolate and it shows some sort of resistance group trying to blow up some sorta complex.

    In one of the worlds, it shows the machine that can manipulate parallel worlds. I remember it has a long tunnel, and in one scene it shows them activating it, a machine produces some sorta chemical bubble that shoots down the tunnel.

    That's about all i can remember.

    Thanks.

    No, you're thinking of a TV series called "jericho".

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    nobody managed to find me the name of that movie....
    that's a comedy, i think it might be french, where a man works on some project and someone steals it, and he suspects some person.
    one day it happens that this person who he suspects that stole his project runs over him and kills him. this man who got killed id reborn into a baby to the man who killed him (and stole his project). we can hear the baby's thoughts.
    the father in this family (the man who killed that person and stole the project) is the most normal and loves the baby the most. the mother and grandma always put him (the baby) in dangerous situations, but the baby hates the father (as he thinks he stole his project). when at some point the baby discover that someone else stole the project, he begins to love the father, but then he dies in his crib.
    there's some background story going on with the wife of this man who got killed (the reborn baby) and eventually he is born as a baby to his wife.
    i've been looking for this movie name everywhere, will be glad if anyone can tell me it's name, thanks :-)

    Hi all


    I've had some success in this forum over the years, but still have one
    that eludes me:

    *It's an American film in colour.

    *Made sometime between late 70s to early 90s.

    *It was probably a made-for-tv film.

    *It is the story of a man and a woman who are drug addicts, but
    can function in their jobs.

    *The man stops using drugs and gets a job in a cinema making popcorn,
    His drug dealer comes to the cinema try to tempt him back to using drugs.

    *The woman is a nurse and collapses at work in a hospital. When she is
    being revived by the emergency team, they remove her clothes and
    find needle marks on her body.

    *The woman has vivid blonde hair. I've seen her in these kind of made-for-tv,
    family-friendly movies before. She has a very distinctive look and if I saw
    her once in anything else, I'd be able to make an identity. So that's my excuse
    for watching True Movies 1 + 2 :)

    Thanks for any help.
    Happy viewing,
    Barney

    looking for help finding 2 horror films.
    They're both late 80's to early 90's ish i think.
    The first one is about vampires and all I can remember is that it revolves around a group taking refuge in an old church type building, I think they have some artifact or something that the vampires want. sound familiar?

    The second film there is some guy that owns an antique shop in a coastal town, turns out hes the devil or something. ring a bell?

    First one sounds like Prince of Darkness



    and the second is Needful Things



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    First one sounds like Price of Darkness

    €6.66?

    Excellent the second one is right, Needful things.

    The first one isn't the one i'm thinking off, the church they take refuge in and the location its shot is kinda of westernish like in the desert somewhere. I thought it might have been john carpenters vampires but it wasn't.

    Maybe check out the sequel Vampires: Los Muertos or are you perhaps thinking of Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight.

    I'm wondering if the first one is actually one of the short stories from "The Monster Club" (although dates are way out). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Pxj2_CEhw Check out about 1:22:45 for the part that matches up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,749 ✭✭✭Smiles35


    This one is for the Dad. I'm not expecting successes on this one. It's an old b&w British b-movie he saw in 'The State' cinema in Phibsborough, D7.

    He just remembers the ''crooks'' in the film are discussing a bank job. They talk about how that have someone ''casing'' the place right now. Then the camera cuts to a guy in a typically long raincoat observing the bank via a reflection in a sweetshops glass.

    My Dad says this scene had everyone sitting in the cinema in fits of laughter even though it was supposed to be very serious.

    Any ideas?
    Trying to find a western that I think was mainly a cattle drive but one of the villians was missing a finger (or fingers) and wore a black glove to hide it. For some reason I thought Richard Widmark was in it but cant see what I'm looking for on IMDB so just thought I'd pop it in here. Havent seen it for about 30 years and it's bugging me :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget

    Jack Palance wears a black glove in Shane but honestly I know sweet fa about the film beyond it being one of my da's favourites and seeing very small bits and pieces of it over the years but not enough to say if it's the film you're after.

    Don't know the film, but i do know that 'Lee Van Cleef' was missing a finger and he's been in a lot of westerns. It was shown in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Check IMDB on his movies.

    There's a movie I once saw on tv as a Christmas special. It was stop-motion animation, and there was a scene where a young man (I think Saint Nicholas) got into his bed and was dying. Someone cried over him, and then he "slept" or something for some years. He eventually woke up, and had gained a beard and (apparently) immortality, and had turned into Santa Claus. Does anyone know what this movie's title is?

    Is it "The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus"?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 rosiekitty


    Could be. I'm not entirely sure; the movie I'm remembering has a scene where he actually dies, and someone cries over him. I just looked at the movie you mentioned on YouTube, but it doesn't contain that scene. On the other hand, there must be a bazillion stop-motion animation movies about Christmas, so I could be mixing them up.
