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

Hi All,

I saw this thread and my heart just jumped a little, though I suspect my details will be too vague to actually be of use to anyone. I remember watching a film on the TV late at night, so it can't have been new then, probably early to mid-90s. It was colour so probably 70s or 80s.

The basic premise was that when people died they went to this place, not sure if it was a huge house or I just remember a house being part of it. There was no real heaven or hell but but in order to stay in that place you had to be remembered by the people who were still alive. If you stopped being remembered by anyone you went either into a big sea or a big nothingness, I don't remember exactly. If you started to be remembered again, even if by one person your place would be restored.

The film was I think about the people who had died, and discussions between them and not wanting to go into this nothingness.

I don't remember much else but I just remember thinking how much I loved this film. It popped into my mind in the early 2000's and every year or so I make a feeble attempt at trying to find it but fail.

I think the main character was male, or most of the main characters were male and one may have been a musician or composer.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately not, it was a drama, no comedy at all.

Nice one thanks, I dismissed it at first as the storyline didn't seem to fit with what I remembered but just watched the trailer and its definitely it. The rapist jocks were the guys in skeleton costumes, not sure where I got gimp masks from. Its over 30 years since I saw it and think I must have been just half watching it, had totally forgotten what it was about.

i think this was a TV miniseries from about 25+ years ago. I think it was about 3 college friends whom get out of a small town, 2 of them succeed but one of them becomes a criminal. I remember one scene vividly, the criminal is in prison and has just finished drawing a mural on his cell wall. When the guard comes in and throws a bucket of cleaner onto it and orders the criminal to clean it. But the mural runs and the mural now crudely depicts a religious figure. The criminal kneels before it.

About a decade later the criminal now somewhat reformed is the head of a religious cult.

Thanks.

Sounds very like something I remember seeing on Sky One. Did the cult leader have a beard / mullet combo and wear sunglasses?

Edit: found it. Its called Celebrity. Orignally shown mid 80s, saw it on Sky One early 90s, they would rerun a lot of 80s mini series.

Looking for cowboy related gif for a text message I saw this on Google and it is bugging me because I recognise the actress in it.

Anyone know what this film (or series) called or who the actress is?

Okay thanks. I went to sleep and forgot all about when I woke up.

How did you identify it?

never heard of the actress before or seen anything she is in. She must just look like someone in that gif

Sounds like it could this

not a movie but an episode of an anthology series adapting Graham Greene stories.

There is a young woman waiting on a train platform. She is surprised to see a guy she knows approaching and asks why he is there.

Then Saffron Burrows (appears to be the young woman’s guardian) comes out of the ticket office saying her friends in Prague have telegrammed to say German force are chattering in the border of Poland and it is now too dangerous to go. The younger woman is upset as there is a competition in Prague she has always wanted to take part in.

She asks the guy what he would and he says he would probably go and get killed. He also offers to with her and keep her safe. They kids but leave the train staion.

Anyone know what this film is? The young actress kind of looked like Cary Mulligan but definitely wasn’t Mulligan.

Is there an app that do the same as that extension?

I’ve been looking but no joy yet.

That’s V.
