Definitely has the chair bit

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

My 10 year old self thought so, but hey, maybe I should give it another go

kunst nugget · 26-04-2018 3:53pm

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

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

A contender for 'The Room'?

Owryan · 30-04-2018 5:12pm

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.

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.

radonicus · 04-05-2018 7:02pm

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.

Outlaw Pete · 11-05-2018 1:41am

The Shield?

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

Slydice · 11-05-2018 4:45pm

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.

Slydice · 11-05-2018 4:47pm

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

roganjosh · 27-05-2018 2:24pm

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.

MfMan · 20-06-2018 8:12pm

An appropriate one for the time that’s in it. Horror Film /TVM from 70s/80s. A group of treasure seekers or holiday makers aboard a boat in tropical waters. A valuable artifact, an idol, is discovered and taken on. However it has demonical properties and soon terrible things start happening, including a few horrible deaths. The horror only abates when it’s thrown overboard. As the credits roll we see it lying face up at the bottom of the sea. The fact that it’s midsummer seems relevant to the plot. Any ideas?

New Home · 20-06-2018 8:32pm

There's a film I watched on TV what feels like 10-12 years ago, but it was probably made a few years earlier than that. I was almost certain the title was "Miracle at Santa Anna", but the only film with a similar title was "Miracle at St. Anna" and it doesn't seem to match what I remember about it. Both were set in Italy during or just after the War, but the one I saw has a scene where films were projected on bedsheets hanging from a line, there was a local beauty, and there was a priest (who was originally from the area but went away as a young man and returned there as a priest) whose church had been bombed, I remember that the roof had caved in. When the middle-aged priest was about to die (I think it was because of the collapsed ceiling), he admitted to his best friend that his greatest regret was not to have told the truth to his congregation, namely that he had never actually been ordained, that he had dropped out of the seminary, that all his christenings, marriages, etc. were not valid at all, so his friend convinced him that saying something now would harm his congregation more, then the priest died.

Can anyone help?

No, would have been later than those and it had that kind of neo realist Ken Loach feel to it. I thought it might have been by him but doesn't match any of his films.

An Irish film about the IRA.

A group of youngsters get caught up with the IRA, most of the friends get kneecapped in one scene, one gets away, the end scene is of the last boy in a church where the priest turns out to be an IRA supporter who leads them to him, says something along the lines of "why didn't you just take the bullet".

The end then is the boy writing a letter to his mother before being killed, this is to make her think he just left and isn't dead, the IRA agree to post it outside Belfast in order to make it look authentic.

I can't think of the name or find it anywhere.

Film I saw (most of, I think) years ago and it stuck in my head for some reason.
guy and his girlfriend are driving across America seems like the desert and the car breaks down but they make it to this tiny little town but the people are all creepy and when they give the car to the mechanic (classic deliverance vibe staring at the female lead, hillbilly kind of guy) he kind of makes excuses and actually disables the car more, so they cant leave and I think there was a kid who was important to the story for some reason. Its basically about them trying to escape this town back to civilisation, they're too polite in the beginning to do anything until they're stuck and I think I remember there was some psychedelic, hallucination scenes.

I doubt anyone can get this one it didn't look like a big budget production. I think it was one of those 3am movies on tv3.

cavemeister · 03-07-2018 11:23am

Ok guys, need help. I have been trying to find out the name of this movie/maybe tv show I once saw about 30 years ago when I was only a child.

Set in rural America with mountain roads.
Features corrupt cops who drive the roads and force unsuspecting drivers off the edge and over the side of the mountain to their death.
Our hero is a guy with a supped up car who drives similar roads while practicing various driving maneuvers and handbrake turns to try to avoid the cops.
They target him and after a long chase, he forces them off the road to their deaths.

This movie has stayed with me my whole life and I have no idea what it is..

Anyone?
