Movie Identification (Post here if you're looking for the name of a movie)

darkdubh

In this movie I can only clearly remember one scene,a caveman having a picnic with another guy dressed up like a posh English gent complete with bowler hat.And no it wasn't The Flintstones.From what I remember it was some sort of surreal fantasy film,maybe British from the 60s or 70s.I remember when the caveman appeared my brother saying"is that a caveman?" cos he was kind out of period.

The man in the bowler hat reminded me of The Avengers/The New Avengers, it was set in the 60s/70s.

As to which episode it might have been, I have no idea.

No,I've seen the old Avengers series a few times and the guy with the bowler hat in the film deffo wasen't Patrick Macgoochan from that.I think the caveman was talking like a normal person,can't recall what the context of the scene was but him and the bowler hat guy weren't main characters I think,they were just in this one brief scene from what I remember.

Trying to remember a movie I saw around the late 80's /early 90's, could have been a mini-series.

It was based in Ireland about the IRA I think. Vaguely remember it was in the country side mostly.

One scene that stands out to me is, a family were held captive and one of the bad guys cuts off a ladies finger to remove her ring as it wouldn't come of.

Sorry there is not a lot to go on but hopefully someone remembers what it was.

Any of these ring a bell?

Possibly a german/french film, subtitled, where a male biker is knocked of his bike in the final scene by a prisoner transport van with an iconic building in the distant horizon, maybe the Brandenberg Gate or Arc de Triomph.

Anyone know the name?

Not sure if its any of these, it's not any of the mainstream movies from the 90's anyway.

Could possibly be this one. Could be hard to track down a copy of it though.

Possibly Darkman?

They were shot back to back, Darkman 2 was supposed to be Darkman 3 and vice versa, but they swapped them around before release.

There's a scene set in a prison and a prison guard forces a prisoner to clean/eat faeces off of his shoe by eating it. Probably made in the 1990's.

Randomly found it: Power of One

When I was a kid I watched a film where three teens (White guy, African American guy and (Asian or white, can't remember)girl), at the end of the movie they are given medals and become embodiments of virtues. There are 5 elemental guardians that look like a bit like ratchet from ratchet and clank, I can't remember all of the elements but water, fire and bronze were definitely in there. I really want to watch this film again, so If anyone has any Idea where I can look or ask next, or if you know what movie it is, It is most appreciated.

This film was heavily oriental, lots of martial arts and oriental mythologies, if this helps, but was american.

Thank you so much, been looking for that for ages.

This is a scene from a movie that I saw on the TV circa mid 80s so dating earlier than that I'd imagine.Political thriller I think,American.Theres only one scene that I remember clearly.A woman is preparing her two young daughters ,who are aged about 4 to 6 for their bath.She leaves the two of them alone in the bathroom and in the kitchen is confronted by two guys who are dressed like the men in black,suits etc.She pleads with them then they shoot her dead.The two hitmen are about to leave when the two little girls run out of the bathroom shouting "Mommy,Mommy".The hitmen turn around,clearly not expecting them.The scene then ends without showing what happens next but as far as I remember its implied that they shot the girls.

The Bed-Sitting Room with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Spike Milligan, etc.

Think that might be it alright,I've looked up a few clips on YT and while I can't find the bit with the caveman it looks very much in the vein of the film I remember seeing.

There's this movie set on a Scottish island. The people call this orphan girl a witch or say that she has a curse. She found a painting by the sea. A boy's family went to the island to look at the painting. The boy is obsessed with detective work.

The Witch's Daughter ?

Looking for a British comedy movie, from.. I think.. Between 2005-2010, in which these guys try to make an arthouse porn movie. There was a big name American actress in it, but can't remember who.

I Want Candy?

That's the one! As it turns out, "porn comedy movie british" is not something that is easily searched for on Google.
