Seems to be up; however, the first try went to Yahoo!
I may have to go to the library just to use some other computer to try the site.
I swear I’m either jinxed or on some secret internet blacklist.
Site finally responding again. Also, I’ll repeat my mystery movie question here:
I once caught the very end of an animated movie on television. An army of shrews (dressed in Napoleonic-era army uniforms) were being catapulted over the battlements of a castle where a human girl was being held prisoner by reptilian creatures similar to a cross between dragons and velociraptors. The shrews had venomous bites and each raptor would quickly succumb when bitten on the tail.
I think this might have been aired on the Sunday (not Saturday) morning children’s programming time slot that CBS had once upon a time. But I’m far from certain about that.
NOW I find the exact right combination of search terms to find the needle in the haystack:
“The Talking Parcel”: adaptation of the book (a.k.a. The Battle For Castle Cockatrice") by Gerald Durrell. Featured on PBS’s “Long Ago And Far Away” series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kamWetCF65g(OK, they’re cockatrices. Mostly bird, although they do have long reptilian tails and clawed hands).
I remember an old movie (black and white, I think) with the premise that a guy is stranded at an old house with secret passages where girls sing a weird song and where the end scene takes place in a barn and he gets stabbed with a hay hook but pushes the person into a wheat thresher. The whole movie takes place in the creepy old house and the creepy girl uses the secret passageways. Movie is probably from 50’s or 60’s.
When did it come out? Late 70’s early 80’s
Who was in it? Don’t remember :smack:
What plot if any do you remember? No clue :smack:
What was special to you about it? It was the first time I got to watch a scary movie
:eek:
Any other clues you can think of? Ok bare with me I was live 5 when I saw this and I only remember a small bit.:o So I know there was blood coming out of the pipes in the kitchen. ( kitchen was a bright color maybe yellow) The family was getting ready for a kids birthday party.
This is what I think I remember a family consisting of a Father, Mother, a teenager child & maybe 2 or 3 smaller kids (maybe 12 or 11 in age on down) no toddlers or babies.
They moved into a new house before the party, wasn’t in a big city more like rural area but not like out in the country.
Not much to go on I know but I’ve been looking for this movie for over 30 years
PLEASE HELP!!:)
It was probably Child’s Play, an episode of the Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense. I can’t describe it without spoiling the twist, but it’s a commonly half-remembered movie. This link covers the plot well.
Much of this description fits Beyond the Time Barrier
It was an animated movie about Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood. However, it was very different from all the other animated versions because this one did not look hokey like the ones for children. It was almost like paintings. There was very little dialogue. In fact, when it came on I didn’t see the credits so I almost didn’t know what it was.
It was on t.v. I want to say late 90s or early 2000s. I think the same time as “Prince of Egypt”.
Fantasia 2000? Or a clip from it?
Was it “Death Game” 1977 with Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp?
I had this happen to me bad and I actually figured it out myself.
All I could remember was a guy driving a brown first-generation Ford Bronco up to an office building downtown.
I thought about it and thought about it and thought about it for such a long time.
Somehow I figured out the guy driving was Ben Chaplin and that the movie was The Truth about Cats & Dogs.
Man that was a relief.
Wild guess: La Femme Nikita?
It was remade in English with Bridget Fonda and is known in some countries as The Assassin.
Thanks, this could be it.
One of the first movies I can ever remember seeing in the theater was some sort of adventure where some sailors were looking for some mysterious place “where the whales go to die.” I was around 5-6 years old. I have a vivid memory of certain scenes, including the ship following whales, and the adventurers trying to outrun a lava flow.
For the longest time I wasn’t sure if the movie existed or if it was some childhood dream or false memory. “Where the whales go to die.” Really?
But as an adult, aided by the magic of the internet, one day I googled the mysterious phrase “where the whales go to die” and there it was–a Disney movie called The Island at the Top of the World. I Netflixed it. Good movie!
There is a horror / comedy movie that I can’t remember the name of. I only saw the first part of the movie, but I remember that the plot was just like Beetlejuice. A couple along with their daughter, move to a mansion in the country. The daughter hates it there and wants the family to move back to the city. The mansion is haunted by a man ghost that can only be seen or heard by the daughter. He is the girls only friend there, and they both come up with a plan to scare away the adults from the house, so that the family will move back to the city. There is a bloodstain where the man died in the house, and it keeps turning into colors like green and purple. Something very bad would happen if the family does not leave the house before the bloodstain on the floor turned brown.
Is this Beetlejuice?
It sounds like it might be some adaptation of The Canterville Ghost.
No, that’s a good suggestion, but the “Kali” scene in ToB is quite a bit different in details from what I remember.
