    there is a movie from the 80's where the lead character is whisked away to fight in a space war after getting the highest score in Space invaders.

    We have been tearing our hair out trying to find the name, Does anyone out there want to put us out of our misery?

    It's "The Last Starfighter"

    Haven't seen it years actually... must track down a copy.

    Well done, that was impressive! I've never seen it but it's something I'll look out for.

    Now for a harder one. Insanely hard in fact, so much so it may belong in the Films forum, but I'd probably get a better response to it here! ;)

    About ten years ago I saw a fantasy film on TV. All I can remember about it was the really tacky 80's synth music on it, and one bit where the hero rides on a horse through some kind of magic doorway (only to disappear (badly) with accompanying (bad) sound effects).

    The only other thing I can think I remember is that the hero had a mustache.

    Ok. If anybody actually knows what the hell the film is I will be SERIOUSLY impressed.
