trying to remember an old black and white British based detective series (probably 40's era), something similar to the 1940's Sherlock Holmes, it would have been early evening fare back in the day on RTE or BBC2 maybe.

Charlie Chan?

Slydice · 14-07-2019 10:56pm

I wasn't expecting much luck by googling this but..

I found this wiki page of BBC programmes and searched for "194"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programmes_broadcast_by_the_BBC

The candidate that jumps out was Telecrime (BBC 1938 – 1939 & 1946) but it says all the episodes were lost:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecrime

A whodunit crime drama, Telecrime showed the viewer enough evidence to solve the crime themselves. Most episodes were written by Mileson Horton. All seventeen episodes are lost. Aired live, their preservation was technically difficult at the time.

Not Charlie Chan , though I see a lot them are up on Youtube, I might have a look at a couple of them.

I think I found it , one of the plot lines I remember was about a ghost train and gunrunning in Northern Ireland so it seems to be the Will Hay comedies.

There was a U.S film that came out either this year or last year, its a drama end I also believe it has some dark humour about a cop (with a moustache) whose son dies.

It got really good reviews but I can't find it on various sites that have lists foe the best films of 2018/19.

Bulldog Drummond?

CatHerder · 13-08-2019 5:26pm

I seen a movie or tv show recently where women were using some sort of dating guide on men, The men realized this and started using the same guide unbeknownst to the women. What movie or show was this on?

New Home · 13-08-2019 9:08pm

There's an old film with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin which had a very similar theme - she was using a dog training manual her mother had given her. It could be a remake of that.

Hey guys, trying to remember a movie I saw years ago, maybe 10 years, a group of young ones go to a cabin for the weekend, typical horror fair. Another guy shows up and holds them hostage or tries to kill one of them. Think he is related to one of those already there. Ring any bells?

Tucker & Dale Vs Evil

or

The Cabin In The Woods

Kolido · 23-08-2019 11:59am

Not those either, I've checked this list and it's none of these.

https://www.google.ie/amp/s/ew.com/movies/18-best-cabin-woods-horror-movies/amp/

kunst nugget · 23-08-2019 12:29pm

Maybe something from this list? In fairness, the cabin in the woods is a pretty well-established trope in a lot of horror movies. Do you remember any of the actors in it?

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls062654405/

Kolido · 23-08-2019 12:46pm

Yeah I figured that, have searched google to no avail.

May not have been a cabin in the woods exactly, may have been just a secluded house. Cant remember anyone in it unfortunately.

Tony EH · 07-09-2019 5:32pm

Right, this isn't a movie as such. It was a British episode of a horror show that used to be on in the 70's.

In the episode a rich professor, psychiatrist or author (or something) invites a load of dinner guests to his house. They are all students or fans of his. But they find out the he's been keeping people locked up in padded cells upstairs in his mansion. He has a servant that goes mad when a bell rings I think, like Pavlov's dogs or something.

Saw it years ago and it never left me.

But I cannot remember the TV show. It's not 'Hammer' anyway. Or 'Armchair Thriller'.

No, neither of them. Although that 'Dead of Night' show looked great. There's only a few episodes surviving off of that. All on YouTube.

Though it doesn't accurately fit the description, 'Children Of The Stones' ?

(Excellent and creepy TV series from back then, if you've never seen it.

Cheers. Unfortunately that's just a episode list. There's no synopsis. However, 'Thriller' seems to be up on YouTube. So, I'll have a rifle though that and see if I can't recognise the think I'm looking for.

Tony EH · 14-09-2019 7:20pm

So I finally found this thing.

It's 'Thriller', S04E04 - A Killer in Every Corner. It has the great Patrick Magee in it, if you're old enough to remember who that is.

Brilliant....I was looking but didn't get that far into the episodes.

Thought this one was brilliant though.....bonus Liz Montgomery and Mr Bickley

Tony EH · 15-09-2019 9:31am

That's the wrong 'Thriller'

. That's the older American one, with Boris Karloff. I've seen some of them on YouTube.

The one I was thinking of is a British TV show (repeated in the 80's) that was produced by Brian Clemens, who used to do 'The Persuaders', 'The New Avengers' and 'The Professionals'.

This is the episode I remembered as a kid. TBH, it isn't great, but it was just one of those things you see once and never forget for some reason.

Irish movie set in Dublin. Teenagers. Groups.
Use of smartphones. The main character is texted by phone to meet up with the rest of them in Henry Street. When she reaches there, she texts them to ask where the rest are. Oh they didn't actually go to town. She tries to take her life.

2011 thereabouts

Quiet Achiever · 21-09-2019 9:20pm

I saw a type of horror/mystery movie over three decades ago that I think we had on video.

There was basically a big house where a son had been locked in the attic, may have been eating rats.

And then there were guests being hosted in that house and he was sabotaging the whole thing.

The scene I really remember is that a lady was in her room and going to wash from one of the old Victorian washing bowls with a big jug. When she splashed the water on her face it turned out to be acid and all her skin started melting off.

Thanatosgratus · 21-09-2019 11:09pm

maybe this clip may help, I remember the acid scene as I had to look up Vitriol in the dictionary as that is what the water jug contents had been replaced with and I didn't know what that was back then

my3cents · 12-10-2019 5:27pm

For some strange reason I thought there was a recent film The Goonies 2?

wtf can I be thinking about? I saw a film in the last couple of years about kids that I would have sworn was the non existant The Goonies 2.

Is there something similar I could be thinking about?
