    That's the one I was thinking pod but couldn't remember the name! Wasn't bad iirc but very odd by the end.

    There's also one called Dark Mountain that might fit the bill. I haven't seen it but it would fit the bill.

    My Aunt told me about a psychological thriller she saw in the 1970's. The only part she can remember is there was a few people male and female visiting at a house having dinner.One of the men fancied one of the women but she did not fancy him.

    Something frightening happened and she wanted to leave so bad she said to him " If you take me away now you can spend the night" so she was really scared. I am not sure was the source of fear in the house or on the way. It could have been earthly like a killer or supernatural like spirits.

    I would love to see it if anyone know what it was

    I was reading an article in Sight And Sound from a couple of years ago about BBC horror/supernatural shorts from the 70s,many of which were part of the Play For Today series.Sounds a little like this one maybe,which starred Clive Swift(Richard in Keeping Up Appearences)

    Want to identify what the movie was that this scene I remember was from.It was a subtitled movie set in a village in either Italy or Greece during the second world war.The scene was a group of resistance members who were discussing assassinating a local bigwig who was collaborating with the Germans.They were sitting around a table drinking wine and were pretty drunk.The discussion got round to using a bomb for the assassination and one of them starts off laughing and going "boom boom" then they all start,laughing and shouting boom and making big explosion gestures with their hands.

    Hmmm.it could well have been set in Facist era Italy but I don't think it was that film,I saw The Conformist years ago and certain its not that.The one I'm trying to remember was as far as I recall set entirely in a village.Thinking about it I'm sure that scene was all done in a single take or something unusual about it like that.

    A film trailer from way back late 70s/very early 80s; adolescent boy meets girl, relationship frowned upon, boy probably a bit of a tearaway. Boy also a good swimmer, scenes of him swimming in competition. Later, scenes of him in hospital, electrodes attached to his head, possibly in a coma. A teen movie of sorts I think. Any ideas?

    No, more teen-based I think rather than adult-centric.

    Movie - i think British made ...
    A group of new age hippies meet in various locations and are burned by some high intensity light (like a laser) coming from the sky.
    There was one scene where a survivor was in hospital, and he started levitating despite being in an induced coma, and reached the ceiling lights, was electrocuted and died.
    From memory, all the hippies were always talking about "the planet"

    It frightened the lard out of me at the time.

    Anyone know what it was/is?

    Right, when I was a kid I remember seeing this movie really late one night, and what I remember clearly, and I know I'm too young to have dreamed of something so vivid… is that it was about a man who is in a large and dark room at a desk with a lot of people. Everyone has a desk, like a large classroom, but it's got gray walls and looks corporate and sterile. They all have a piece of paper and a pen, and a large screen has a ****ed up film being displayed on it. There are no decipherable images as they flicker by so fast, but the man goes into a seizure-like trance and begins scrawling something on the page. He draws the image below.
    I forget what happens between then and the next part, but he finds a girl and the two of them are walking along train tracks. She asks him questions, but he can't talk for some reason.

    That's really all I can remember.
    Nobody I know can recall this movie, but I know I'd never be able to imagine something that vivid, considering the fact that my dreams at that age were filled with Spyro the Dragon, and Pokémon.

    I wouldn't know, but I think it would have been around the early noughties that I saw it. It may have been out before then, as I watched it at home.

    I'd say OP was part ofnsome sort of top secret government program as a child and, somehow, his experiences are trying to break through his subconscious.

    Not sure if this was in a movie or a tv show

    My dad had it on vcr back when I was a kid . I would say the late 80's early 90's

    I just remember it used to scare me even though it might have been a comedy for all I remember

    The scenes I remember are a group of people in fancy dress running across a road , one of them dressed up as a rabbit .

    Then the scene that scared me was this weird guy in like a big house or factory , like a creepy servent and then this lift starts coming up through the big house and it opens and this older gentleman comes out and he looks like a Christopher Lee type character and the servent is calling him master . For some reason i think the guy in the lift is Satan .

    Long shot if anyone knows it

    I wouldn't be sure about the rabbit, but the lift, and Satan (eating a boiled egg), remind me of Angel Heart - brilliant but absolutely terrifying film for a kid to watch. Robert De Niro as the devil didn't look like Christoper Lee, though... Whether that's the right film, that's a whole different story.
