Cover BOTH rears!"

Googling "cover both rears" says this was The Hallelujah Trail from 1965.

Looking for a movie..
Is real people (not cartoon)
About heroes, I believe
The main character is a woman, blonde, who is a high school science teacher, with some kindof of slight genetic mutation/deformity. Something tells me it might have been with her foot, but I'm not sure.
She is giving her science class a lecture about hell, and the only quote from the movie that I remember is..

"Hell is people seeing you for what you really are."

Some of the boy students proceed to make fun of her for her deformity.

Classic US TVM from the golden era [1969 - 1977].

I remember Chuck Connors and Buddy Ebsen also being in it.

TG4 showed it in the early 2000s - I still have it on tape.

Im looking for the name of a film or maybe tv programme from the early 80s i think. All i can tell you is the one scene i remember - a boy vampire floating outside a little girls room. I think they were friends......

Sounds like Salem's Lot although it was outside a boy's room and not a girl's room iirc.

Could have been a little boy all right. If i remember right it was based in modern day(at that time)

edit: just googled some pics and i dont think its it. I remember the vampire boy floating with his legs crossed and wearing more trad vampire clothing

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 29-05-2014 12:27pm

There was an adaptation of "The LittleVampire" from the 80s, but that was where both the vampire and the child were boys, and it was a TV show, so not sure....

There's a scene like that in The Lost Boys. It's in the trailer at the 40 second mark:

Was his brother not a girl in this case though.

kunst nugget · 29-05-2014 12:51pm

This is the other window scene in Salem's Lot. The young lad looks a total girl's blouse and the guy in the window is a bit more formal in this…

eisenberg1 · 29-05-2014 12:58pm

^^

Well, it was the late 70's, so that may explain the hairstyles............

Hi, trying to identify a movie from my childhood, so it's probably at least 20 years old. I have only a few firm memories, so this is just going to be a dump of those details and hopefully someone will recognise it:

Probably fantasy genre.
Grumpy old man helps young adventurers.
Grumpy man has walking stick with ornate carving (animal head?) on top.
One of the younger ones is very fast, always zipping around and ahead.
They have to infiltrate castle, and the fast one runs ahead, the grumpy old man stops him and puts stick in black water of the moat of castle to show him danger: the stick is melted (or something).

Thanks to anyone who can help, this has been bugging me for ages!

I don't remember that scene but for some reason your description is making me think of Krull.

There's this movie I watched years ago and it's been bugging me that I can't remember the name of it and can't find any info anywhere on it.

I vaguely remember it, it goes like this. A man somehow ends up in a parallel/alternate universe and he ends up causing trouble or something, so it's broadcasted on the news/billboards to capture/kill him. While on the run,he meets this other woman, who I think was Asian and she was in the exact same situation, so they build some machine while people are hunting them down and they end up getting back to reality.

The Running Man?

Philidelphia Experiment ?
A sound of Thunder ?

Sounds like an episode of 90s TV series Sliders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliders

Sounds a bit generic SF to me. How about Logan's Run, or The Island?

sailorfoley · 12-06-2014 4:05pm

Hey,

the famous line from The warriors is "Can you dig it?". This was used in another film, a comedy. I'm thinking something by adam sandler or of a similar style.

Can anyone help me out with the film? It's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

sailorfoley · 12-06-2014 4:11pm

Figured it out - Adam sandler bedtime stories

krudler · 12-06-2014 4:17pm

For the record, The Warriors is brilliant, such a cool opening.

the whole movie is on youtube too

AlanS181824 · 13-06-2014 1:18am

There's a film I saw years and years ago and I just can't think of the name!

It's about this woman whom has special needs and she lives with her boyfriend/husband whatever in an assisted living facility (I think) she gets support from her mother.

Her daughter hasn't got special needs and it's about the daughter accepting the mother.

I remember there being a scene where the daughter said she left her lunch box in the car so she had her mother go get it and went into school with her grandmother to avoid being seen with her mother.

Slightly vague and I'm woeful at describing something but hopefully someone knows what I'm on about.
