    I'm trying to remember the name of one of the most boring movies I've ever scene. I think there might be the word crossroad in the title, or some reference to it.

    What I can recall is that it was about a really slow moving truck driving on a road, near a crossroads

    Would it be Duel?

    I doubt Duel would be described as boring

    Could it be Joyride? (It was called Roadkill over here)

    Just looking at the IMDB page, it was written by JJ Abrams.

    Heres one for the experts.

    Trying to remember the name of a film from the early 90's (i think). Set in prison where there was an illegal boxing ring. A newly arrived prisoner gets involved, winning his fights but it at the end it was all a con job by him and another guy as an act of revenge.

    Think the boxer was a black guy.

    Could be Penitentiary or one of the sequels though they are way before the 90s.

    Could it be Undisputed ?

    I'm not sure why I thought it was set in a prison but according to my brother it was "midnight sting". It had a different name in the US so that's why I couldn't find it.

    A film about a husband and wife who emigrate to the far east. He is a doctor as far as I recall. Unhappy relationship but circumstances bring them back together. It's set in early 20th century (I think).

    Trying to remember a Film (most likely.. or maybe a tv show) where one or maybe more detective(s) have a murder victim who has been decapitated and had their hands removed to prevent identification. Could well be lots of these but I don't tend to watch much horror.

    You're not thinking of the scene from State of Grace maybe?

    The Shield?

    Think it was in season 2 that the cops were dealing with Armenian gangsters that were removing hands & feet of their victims.

    Hrmm... I don't think I've ever watched those so I don't think so.

    Now I'm thinking it's probably done in a lot of detective and/or horror stuff.

    I should probably stop searching. Google probably has me on a bunch of watch lists now.

    I have seen the wire so that's my best guess so far! Good spot! :)

    This is a long shot people. I remember seeing bits of a movie when I was younger but haven’t a clue of any of the details. The only part that stands out in my mind is a mother running out of her house looking for her child (possibly on a beach) and she finds what looks like a swirling patch of light up quicksand.

    Not sure if that makes any sense. Not much to go on, any help would be much appreciated

    I remember years ago seeing this British film that looked like it was from the late 70's/early 80's. It was set in a rough London school and it had a kind of had a Ken Loach feel or maybe like the prison movie Scum. One of the pupils was a guy with long hair and a moustache and there was a scene where he stole glass beakers from the science lab with what I presume was acid in them and threw them from an upstairs window at a couple of the teachers as they passed below. Didn't see the whole film so its kind of hazy but that scene sticks in my mind.
