    Yes Sir! Thank You! :)

    Kinda funny, when I was looking(searching by years and genre) for it, in toptenreviews.com, I actually opened a tab with that movie but didn't recognize the title or the picture, so closed it... duh.

    Just thought of one as reading this thread.

    Some woman, think a famous enough access, lives with her husband. I think she might take care of somebody disabled or deaf or something. Then someone dies so she heads off in the car with someone else and learns that there is a Springfield in every state in America so decides to visit all of them. The person she is with dies so she dumps him out of the car along the way....

    In Reckless, Mia Farrow decides to visit every Springfield in the USA.

    Looking for an old film here, one with one of the regular tough guys, stallone or vandamme. It started where he was alone living in some mountain region, a retired military man or cop, who gets a visit from someone looking for him to do one more job. Any ideas ? -the scene area looked like the Rockies, he had a small cabin and was splitting logs with an axe...someone must remember it too....

    Sounds like Commando. Brimfull with classic Arnie one-liners.

    Sounds like Commando, but could also be this old flick?

    Sounds like Cliffhanger to me....


    In Cliffhanger, Sylvester Stallone plays Gabe Walker, a member of a mountain-climbing rescue team.
    Gabe is haunted by an incident from his past when he couldn't save the girlfriend of his best friend, Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker), from falling to her death. As the story begins, Gabe has left mountain-climbing rescue work and has set up business in Denver. He returns to the mountain rescue office to persuade his lover, Jessie (Janine Turner), to quit and come back to Denver with him. While he is begging Jessie to head out to Denver, things are happening in the skies overhead. A gang of professional crooks headed by psychotic Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) has hijacked a U.S. Treasury plane carrying millions of dollars. But the plane crashes, and the bad guys find themselves stranded on top of a mountain with the money (put into three cases) scattered around the wreckage and with no way to get down off the pinnacle to retrieve the cases. They put in a phony distress call that is received by the mountain rescue team. Gabe agrees to take part in one last rescue attempt, and they head up to help rescue the thieves. But Qualen has plans for the rescuers -- to force them to climb through the dangerous snow-covered peaks to find the three suitcases of cash.

    Lads, come on! I saw this in my email and didn't bother answering cause I thought it was way too easy and someone would get in before me, but I'm seeing all sorts of wrong answers, admittedly I didn't ask the question but it can only be Commando!

    Here's the intro you're probably thinking of (correction, you are thinking of ;))

    Check out the zoom in on his bicep, the ice cream to his face (it looks like she's taking care of her down syndrome dad a little bit), and the feeding of the deer! God he's so damn sensitive and one helluva father!

    Yes yee are right once again, Commando it was. I had remembered it slightly different, i.e. him living alone and in a bit "rougher" environment...but I had a look at the youtube intro to Commando and it brings back the memories. Cheers to all... off to watch Arnie De Legend.

    American film, crashed US bomber in desert, all crew are dead and are ghosts around the crashed plane. Rescue \ investigation team comes to excavate, as each body is found ghost disappears until there is only one left. I remember a scene where the ghosts saw a helicoptor for the first time.
