I have heard about a movie that is supposed to be pretty good, but I have very little actual info about it. Here’s what I know… 1. it’s recent… late 90’s early 00’s 2. French, or at least set in France (Paris, I think) 3. The plot has something to do with a group of (maybe elderly) ladies that find lost cats, although that may not be the main story. Seen it? Know the title? Is it any good? ---

Could it be [**Chacun cherche son chat** (1996)](http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0115856)? ---

vl\_mungo, you seem done, mind if i borrow this thread? It just triggered a memory… When I was a child, I saw 2 movies or shows on tv. This is going back maybe as far as somewhere in the late 60’s. What I saw has, with the passage of time been reduced to a single set of images, which have kind of permanenty etched themselves on my brain. I think at the time i had nightmares about them. It feels as if i saw both in one sitting. I havent been able identify what they were. The first image is of a small girl (which seems in my mind like Shirley Temple) standing on some steps. I think it is winter, possibly christmas time. A large object or weight (the association i have is like the cartoon ten ton weights, or maybe a piano) falls and crushes her. The second image is of a woman trapped in a room. She is clawing at a wall or door to try and get out. you just see here arms, and something is happening to her skin. It could be that she is turning into a wax figure or a mannequin. There are other figures in the room to which the same thing happened or is happening. This one I think might possibly have been a twilight zone. Anyway, I still remember clearly that they both really scared the crap out of me, I was way to young to have been watching them 🙂 would be nice to watch them again and maybe get it out of my system 🙂 ---

The thread title seems to have been mangled, so I fixed it as well as I could. If that’s not what you meant it to say, **vl\_mungo** , let me know, and I’ll change it again. For future reference, when you’ve got “double quotation marks” in a subject line, don’t submit the thread from preview, or it’ll do that to you.
