This sounds like Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
it’s a tv film about a young blond woman who tells her story about how she became dependent on dope. it’s not go ask alice, but similar. early 1970, 71 or first half 72. it also showed how they coped in those days with rehab, she was in rehab and was tied up at the wrist to an other girl, in rehab longer who was to guide and control her. i remember this movie having a huge impact on me have been searching for it for years never finding it. please anyone, sound familiar…?
Okay, I am going to find out where that image in my head is from.
Can anyone recommend good sites for quickly scanning movie and television stills from the 50s and early 60s?
I saw a movie sometime in the 1960’s when I was a kid. I have this vague memory of a father leaving his two children either at the beach or on an island and they are crying. I’m pretty sure they called him papoon.
I know this is very vague, but if you can solve this mystery, you’d be my hero.
Apparently, this scene made an impression on me, but I’ve never been able to figure out what movie it is from.
There was one that had a prologue and epilogue of the woman showing pictures of houses and who lived in them. I think it was about a navy pilot and Rick Jason was the anti-hero.
A woman in love with a soldier in the French army, and she was called Mdmsl. Cigarette.
Three misfits in a private military academy (the Red Wooden Indian?)
A couple of submarine movies including the one that starred Tony Curtis. There was another one wherein the submarine was painted pink, and another that had women on board and they had to jettison even women’s brassiere to fool the Germans.
Two James Cagney pilot movies. One wherein he was test flying a plane with de-icers through a snow storm, and another wherein he had to ram an enemy fighter head-on.
A western that starred Ernest Borgnine and Sammy Davis Jr. SDJ played a detective sent to help find EB’s daughter who was abducted.
A John Wayne western that featured young boys being trained to be cow pokes.
Another western wherein the man was called Bushwack Gentry(?)
A mayan/aztec setting starring George Chakiris and Yul Brynner. I think it also featured a young Michael Douglas (the archer shooting from a wooden tower already set on fire by the enemy.)
At least two Custer movies wherein they played the Irish Kilt.
[many more that will come out since you popped the question.]
This isn’t the original Blue Lagoon wherein they grew up, became lovers and had a baby?
Operation Petticoat and “The Cowboys”.
There was this movie I swear starred Andy Griffith and what was different was that Griffith played a bad guy terrorizing a young man who he had gone into the desert with. I’d read once the Griffith agreed to the movie to get away from his good guy role on the Andy Griffith show.
Only I cannot find it on Griffith’s website.
Poppi?
Reminds me of Bless the Beasts and the Children?
IMdB to the rescue: “Savages”
Yeah, Griffith was going through a phase in the '70s where he was trying to “nasty-up” his image.
<snip>
Looks like “Kings of the Sun”
Nope, that was a 70’s movie about semi-runaway kids, with a Karen Carpenter theme song. The one I mentioned is a black and white romcom.
Mid-80s. Probably a made for TV movie. A little girl is kidnapped (I think mistakenly) by two older guys for whom she grows an attachment. I just remember them out camping and singing something like “oh whiskey, oh whiskey, I wish I was a duck, because if water where whiskey, I’d go down, but never come up”
Savannah Smiles?:
Wow. That’s it. You’re good. Apparently the song was “Rye Whisky”
The Silencer, 1992. The DVD cover is horrible; I’ve also linked to the laserdisc cover, which may help.
When I was young I saw the opening of a movie that I thought would be fun - it showed a cartoon mouse getting into a spaceship in the opening. It was on TV in about 1971 late at night. Of course it wasn’t at all what I expected but the opeing has always stayed with me - and driven me nuts trying to figure out what movie it was!
The Mouse on the Moon.
It isn’t a literal mouse, it’s a fictional tiny insignificant little country, about the size of the Vatican. The opening credits show a cartoon muse, but there are no mice in the film.
It’s a sequel to The Mouse That Roared. You might like to watch that one first.
This has been bothering me for a very, very long time! I’m so glad I came across this thread. I have been searching for months for a movie from my childhood and I’ve even requited my friends to do the same but I can’t find ANYTHING.
I was born in 1994, to give some kind of timeline and I remember watching this movie when I was pretty young. I recall my family owning a bunch of VHS tapes with animated fairytales. This particular movie was one of those. I’m not sure if this was a full feature film or if it was just a segment on this tape with other stories. I remember a title screen and opening credits. The animation is similar to what we associate with 80s/early 90s animated films/cartoons. The style of “The Princess and the Goblin” or “The Swan Princess” comes to mind.
From what I can recall from the plot, a group of children (I think they may have been siblings) wander into the woods to look for something, I believe. The children leave a path of breadcrumbs which of course are eaten by birds. As night falls, they realize that they are lost in the woods. However, they come against a house in the distance where a giant lives. His human-sized wife invites them in to spend the night. The giant and his wife also have some human-sized daughters of their own. At this point, my memory is so blank. I recall the giant getting the urge to eat one of his daughters and he even attempts to. I think that the kids all escape and find their way back to their father’s house. So there are a couple fairytales that are referenced in here but no amount of googling has given me results.
ANY help would be majorly appreciated! I believed for a long time that I must have dreamt this movie up, but my brother says he remembers the giant who tried to eat his daughter, so it’s bothered me beyond belief.
