Describe a movie you saw and liked as a kid but can't remember its title

ahhh… thank you, I have to see where i can get a copy of it.

Tidbit: footage from AS was used in the first episode (not the pilot :slight_smile: movie) of “The Six Million Dollar Man.”

I saw the Bridget Fonda one as “Point of No Return”

I was thinking “the Long Kiss Goodnight” but no videogame

I remember that episode and the beginning is the same theme, but I didn’t know any footage was recycled.

In a response it was stated that the movie I described sounded likeThe Thing from 1982… just watched it, decent movie, but not the movie I am looking for… the search continues. if I figure it out i will let you all know.

Well, since this thread has been zombified, I’ll ask this again:
80’s movie, set in LA. Ex-army sniper as protagonist.
The only particularly memorable scene in the movie is set up like this: His girlfriend complains to him about some asshole drug dealers who live in the same apartment building. He tries to reason with them, and they tell him to get lost. The next scene shows them(the drug dealers) sitting around their kitchen table playing loud music and drinking when the lead asshole’s head explodes. Cops talk to asshole #2 and he tells them exactly what happened - they were sitting at the table when his head exploded. Cop looks out the window, and sees mountains in the distance, and knows who might have been able to make the shot.

one more for the pile:

The basic premise, I think, was about a colorless austere world (maybe subterranean) when a flower inexplicably appears and is promptly treasured by the populace. They take turns housing the flower, but one couple grows covetous and take it for themselves. Naturally, this causes the flower to wither and die, but not before producing seeds which are distributed across the community, including the greedy couple.

Any ideas?

It was a movie about these two twins separated at birth and having different upbringings. One wore glasses. I recall a Jeep being involved and an electric vehicle. Both had blond hair about ears length. It was definitely a late 80s or very early 90s movie. I remember seeing it when I was 7 or 8.

Male or female twins? What age?

Maybe Big Business.

Other than the electric vehicle, that sounds exactly the The Parent Trap.

The original was from the 60’s IIRC (but even now it’s on TV all the time) and it was remade it in the late 90’s with Lindsey Lohan.

In the original one had long hair and one had short hair and by the middle of the movie they both had matching hair cuts.
The remake may have involved glasses.

Great call. The timing threw me off. If the twins are now grown, Parent Trap II, maybe? It came out in 1986, the opening credits used clips from the original movie, so that would explain seeing them as they looked when they were kids (ear-length hair).

Am I too late to the party? This is a movie from perhaps the early '70s. The child actress that voiced Lucy in the Peanuts cartoons was dead or a ghost and she sang a song with the words “The worms go in, the worms go out. Through your stomach and out your mouth. . .”

Scarred me for life, that song did.

It’s called The Hearse Song and the only thing I’m coming up with for a movie (granted, I didn’t spend too much time) is Picture Mommy Dead.

Xtro 2?

That’s gotta be it, although it isn’t Pamelyn Ferdin. Here’s a YouTube clip:

I saw a movie…may have been t.v. mini series…it was in America. But the Germans had won ww2…everybody looked sickly and grey…and real skinny…the only scene I can really remember…is a youngish mother had some how grew tomatoes…and everyone was so fascinated on account of the hadn’t had fresh veggies for a long time…also. the Germans insisted everyone speak German all the time…does anyone remember this?

An animation movie about rabbits who spoke. There were good guys and bad guys. There were scenes where they had to watch out for cars, a fight in the end.

What movie was this?

Did the obvious choice, Watership Down, have cars? I can’t remember.

There was a scene near the middle where one of the rabbits was playing little-kid-tough-guy and stood in the middle of the road, daring a hruu-du-du to squash him. It went up one lane, missing him, but a second one came up the lane he was in, just barely missing him. Funnier than it sounds, honest.

Yes, that is it. I looked up the title on the web.

It had some violence not shown with understood outcomes and also, showed the death scenes of the rabbits. A tough life for many rabbits, but one with a happy ending for most. Hardly a movie for small children, I do remember seeing it.

I just had forgotten what the title of the movie was.
