If you are looking for a movie, I suggest you contact Burpo the wonder mutt. He knows more about movies than any 2 or 3 other people (all put together) that I have ever seen on this board. He found some movies for people that seemed like they were going to be impossible to find. I don’t know how the mods would feel about you sending him a Private Message to ask for help. I don’t think he’d mind. But maybe you should chek with a Moderator just to be sure. Here is a link to another thread in which he found a move that I thought would be hard to find. See post #10 for an amazing example of his knowledge!
