A good few years ago I saw a movie about a boy who doesn't have a fantastic home life, but he's into either model aircraft flying or kite flying. Something along those lines. The film was interesting because whilst it had sound and was in colour, none of the actors ever spoke, effectively making it a silent film. In terms of when this film was made, we're most likely talking the 90s. Also, I believe it was a short film, but I don't know how short. Could anyone help me find out what this film was called?

I was in Junior High in 1985, and we were shown a strange anime-style short about the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan in WWII. I distinctly remember setup after setup showing peaceful scenes of everyday life in Japan until everyone looks up to see the bomber (an evil glint of evil *shink* light highlights it just before it drops its payload). The bomb hits and it turns into an absolute bloodbath. The most startling deaths are of a mother breastfeeding her child... they melt into one gooey mess. Please help...

I also saw this in class around the same time. I think it's Barefoot Gen, but when I watched it a few years ago, I couldn't be 100% sure because it had been so long.

A while ago, I saw this short film on the internet and I've forgotten the title. It was just five or ten minutes long. The whole thing is of this dude with a bag on his head violently killing British gangsters/wiggers. Does anyone know the title?

I just had a flash of a movie that I think I saw recently. The only part I remember is that the main character is in a post office, and you think the movie is over, but then the post office falls away to reveal that it was just a trick designed to fool the character into thinking that everything's normal. I think that's it, at least. Somebody help, because this is driving me insane.

These have been bugging me: 1. Kids make a spaceship out of washing machines after being instructed to do so in a dream by aliens, then go meet the aliens and the aliens are all wacky because all they know of earth the learned from watching TV. Kind of like Flight of the Navigator, but definitely not Flight of the Navigator. 2. A film I saw at uni, I think it was French or Italian, I'm struggling to place the date but I think it must have been the 60’s or 70’s. Anyway, what I remember of it is a young woman (maybe she was a teacher) who has a heart condition. Her husband (I think) dies (drowns?) then spooky stuff happens. The conclusion, as I recall *spoiler* is that she finds her husband’s body dumped in the bathroom. The corpse slowly rises to its feet and she drops down dead from shock. The husband pop out his creepy white contact lenses, because he wasn’t dead, it was just an elaborate means of murdering her.

This is the same movie where somebody is impaled by a statue of a golden unicorn that is catapulted across the street too, so yeah, you should see it again. Modern horror is sorely lacking the unicorn impalement element. You can get the original and sequel on the same DVD (it's a flipper) for cheap too.

This one is from the late eighties or VERY early nineties. It's one of those bad seed/good child type movies where there's an evil kid who everyone thinks is great except for one lone kid no one believes. The only scene I remember involves the evil kid and his lab partner sitting at one of those two person counter desks in chemistry class: They have a large burner with hot liquid in it at the center of the desk. The evil kid wraps the cord of the burner around the student's leg so that when the student gets up this magically causes the burner to fly up and spill all over him.

Okay. I would have seen this probably around 10 years ago or so. It was on television, and it was probably something from the early to mind 90's. The movie is about a guy who has no hands. So, somebody makes him these robotic hands, and with these robot hands he is able to play keyboards like a super-genius. There is some drama with record labels trying to get him to sell our or something. I don't know if I'd ever care to see it again... but it was 'interesting'

I saw a trailer in college, it was for some horror film.. It starts off with these 2 kids, they are running in a field and stop at a riverbank and dig out a worm and put it in a jar..then randomly all these dead bodies in the sky just start floating down strapped to like parachute things. It's really pretty messed up (can't wait to see it!) and apparently the dead folk are reanimated Nazi soldiers or something.

According to the website, this is still in pre-production; the trailer, however, has been around for a while - longer, I think, than any actual work on the film.

There has been this movie which has been going through my head for the past few days now and I cannot for the life of me remember what the name of it was. I believe the basic plot was some woman either inherits or somehow becomes the owner of a detective agency. To help her, she has this voice activated VCR where she asks the question and the guy on the video gives a response. The guy in this video looked kind of French and for some reason Bond Villan comes to mind. It turns out that the first mission she goes on is purely a test to see if she can handle running this detective agency. There is a scene where she gets capured by the bad guys and put into some sort of storage area for a while. Thankfully there is the male good guy that helps to get her out of there after a period of time. Finally after completing this inital mission, she goes to this VCR thing once more and gives a response to it as if she had passed, and failed, as she was curious to see what the answers were for each of her questions. I have no idea if this is enough to go on, but hopefully someone out there has some knowledge.

Some 80's flick I saw as a kid. Two dudes are hanging in cages and all around them are unmoving figures cloaked in robes. One guy manages to get out of his cell and starts to run away, but he stumbles and bumps into one of the figures. At this point the robe opens up and engulfs the dude. Some screams shuffling rattling and we see bones drop drop out from underneath the robe. The other dude in the cage just kinda chills there thinks for a minute then calmly walks out of his cell and steps VERY carefully around the robed dudes. That's about all I can remember other than that I think both guys were white and one guy didn't have a shirt on for most of the movie.

Here is something I recall watching, I think it was a movie, maybe TV movie, probably made late 70s early 80s. It had to do with a bunch of students who kidnap their teacher who they feel is being to hard on them. They take the teacher to a secret hideout and all the class have like a courtroom trail about him. I recall they come back one day and he has hung himself, I don't remember much else. I think it was a british movie.

It starts with them creating their own court where they take the bad class members in there. They might charge them with stealing a chocolate bar or something. they put them in front of the court, strip them naked, take a polaroid of them to use it as blackmail if they did not abide by the court ruling. They take the teacher into the court and charge him with the offence of "being a bad example". They do the same polaroid thing with him. They charge him and leave him there. However they leave him there for so long that, as you mentioned, he commits suicide. There is an investigation at the school, so to get out of it, one of the kids involved in the court says that the teacher was a paedophole that used to touch him up and offers the polaroids up as proof. So the kids get away with everything. - Now as for the name of this film, that's a tough one. I always thought that the name of it was simply "Police", but i cannot find something that matches that name. I shall hunt a little more.
