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

'tis Gone Baby Gone.

I_am_Jebus · 10-11-2009 6:56pm

now that that one is answered, hope you don't mind if I jump in with one of my own that has been on my mind for the last couple of years (details very sketchy):

I think it is set in the UK. A guy is framed (or just wrongly convicted) for something he (obviously) didn't do.

When released he gets real paranoid etc.. and so films every second of his life so that if he ever gets accused of anything in the future he will have evidence that he did nothing wrong. (i think he lives in a sewer or basement or something).

In the end he gets acussed of something (murder I think) and it turns out a cop was involved and has stolen or deleted the guy's film footage from around the time the crime took place.

Thanks.

Hi,

I need help!

I am trying to find out the name of a film ive seen clips about.

In it, there is a man who is trying to board a plane with drugs taped to his body, when he gets caught by armed security guards.

Has anyone an idea what this is, its driving me mad. Im sure it was references in the systems as well!

Thanks

Alanstrainor · 17-11-2009 8:22pm

Midnight Express?

rosenallis · 17-11-2009 9:00pm

If you can find this movie it will be a miracle.

I remember seeing part of a movie when i was a kid. must have been the guts of 18 years ago now but god knows when the movie was made.

Remember seeing it as a kid and we recorded it as it was on too late. When we went to watch it the next day only 1/4 of the movie had recorded

Themes:
Time Travel i think
Dinosaurs bring in the present (mainly a t-rex if i recall)
Military

The main scene i remember is a small group of people, a guy and two girls i think hiding behind a crate as a dinosaur comes walking through the warehouse that they are in.
Guy is armed with an assault rifle. I cant remember if he started shooting or not.
There is very little else about this movie i remember

I know its very little to go on but ive been on and off looking for this movie for years.

thought id bring this back as noone found it the first time. anyone have any ideas.

One of the greatest films ever made. Lead died of HIV few years later. I remember his mother on Oprah.

Have you seen The Cable Guy?

If so - then you most likely laughed at this clip but had you of seen Midnight Express you would have bent in two laughing ten times harder

ya its too new but the look of the movie is very similar to what i remember with the military aspect.

cue · 24-11-2009 11:39pm

I saw this movie in the early 80's.
It was a fantasy adventure movie set in some forested european country in pre-Industrial times. All I can remember is a scene where the hero is persuaded to throw his weapons up into the sky for no particular reason. They disappear by the strenght of his throw and he carries on with his travels. A long time later he finds himself back in the exact same spot being attacked and his weapons (clubs, i think) fall out of the sky and knock his attackers out.
Any ideas?

cue · 24-11-2009 11:46pm

While I am at it...
A black and white movie, I think, about a group of guys who continue to meet in a bar or cafe every few years after serving in the war (WW2?) together and its just about the changes in their lives.

If it's that they decide to meet up to play Golf every year after the war then it's Boys Of Sunset Ridge.

Nope. No golfing, just chatting in a bar. It was an old movie - 50's probably.

actuallylike · 26-11-2009 6:38pm

Had a read of the previous posts but I'm afraid I can't help with any identification. I do have a film I'm trying to trace of my own though.

It's an old film, colour, possibly made in the 50's or maybe 60's America. All I remember is it's about a sniper and I remember the last scene involves him taking out people on the highway from a hill (I think) and taking out people in their cars at a drive thu movie theatre, he's shooting from the screen. I wanted to remember it because the I remember the footage of the sniper scope while aiming at the people driving was really well done and I'd like to see it again.

Thanks chums!

CyberGhost · 29-11-2009 5:56am

Alright, my turn.

I don't remember much at all, except it's an 80s movie, about a young guy that is very shy and a loser basically and then I remember a snake or something growing out of his head and it gives him super powers or something.

Aka Ishur · 29-11-2009 6:44am

Really hard one for you guys-
80's/early 90's film, set in california. stars 2 friends in early 20's trying to make it. Has an 'Almost famous' feel. I think the female star was an aspiring photographer who worked as a waitress. the guy is an aspiring writer. No hopes of getting itt solved but this has bugged me a looong time.

allanb49 · 03-12-2009 11:45pm

Hey my fianceé is trying to remember a movie she saw a few years ago, all she can remember is there was a guy masturbating with a knife. As in using the knife to get off, any ideas or is she just crazy

Rustar · 10-12-2009 8:45pm

Looking for any info on a 70's film (I think).
Russian (I think), some people overdubbed and some people speaking English.
Giant hero named Ilya Moromentz (I think), who saves the country.
Outlandish claims on the cover of the movie like "largest epic ever made! 10,000 men! 15,000 horses" and so forth.

Rustar · 11-12-2009 1:44pm

Found it, after much searching.
"The Sword and the Dragon", Russian, 1956(!!!!!).

"Cast of 106,000 - 11,000 horses! - Largest cast ever used in any motion picture!"

Special effects were waaay ahead of the time!

natsuko · 17-12-2009 12:36am

Couldnt find another thread dealing with short films, im stabbing in the dark here but i said id give it a go.

OK, its a short film about a homeless alcoholic guy that wakes up in hospital at some stage in the film attached to another more frail man.

I think I saw it on Rte but im not sure... been looking for it all over.

I think it might have been called something like "the body" "parasite" but they are just guesses.

It would be great if someone knew the source, thanks!

ok im on my dinosaur in work so i cant see what clips people posted (wont do flash) to help you so forgive me if im repeating what others have said.

but this sounds an awfull lot like one of my favourite films.

"my science project"

basically a guy finds an alien engine in a military junk yard and tinkers with it to pass off as his science project. (he's a petrol head in danger of flunking)

waala the thing starts warping time and space when hooked up to the mains (which a nerd does and promptly bails leaving the main blokes love interst in danger ) and the blokes have to work theyre way through the school to get to the science lab to disconnect it.

on the way they face lads from the korean war, gladiators, mutants from the future and the bit that'll interest you...

.....a tyranosaurs rex in the PE hall.

the three lads are basicaly cowards, and crouch behind *something" before one of em does indeed empty a clip into it before pumping a grenade from the M60 into it.

its really a fun little B movie and it came out circa 84 or 85.

about the only guy you'll recognaise is fisher stevens who was the indian bloke in short circuit (and the baddie in hackers ), oh and dennis hopper as his hippie science teacher.

again its just a wild streatch but that scene is very close to the dino scene in it.

Cussy · 20-12-2009 1:43pm

Hi all. I saw a kids cartoon movie about 5 years ago on one of the irish channels. It was about a young duck or goose or something like that, who got lost and couldn't fly south with his parents and flock. So he battled out the winter with his friend moley ( a mole!!) and some others. I think the duck's name was sean. Please help, it is driving me bonkers.
