There was a british movie that used to be on TV all the time, I'm fairly sure it was a TV movie and made during the 80s. The plot involved a group of students who kidnap a teacher and put him on trial because they think he is unfair and mean. In the end the teacher ends up hanging himself.

The only thing of the top of my head that comes close to that is Foxfire. It's not British, though.

I know the movie you are on about. They put other children on trial for other such things as shoplifting and so on. I remember that they strip their friends naked and take pictures of them, so thatif the people on trial don't agree to the punishment, they were threatened with having the photos down around school. With the teacher, the main boy involved uses the pictures to convince the police that the teacher was a pedophile. I can't seem to remember the name of the movie, which is a shame because it's a movie that had such in my mind. for the longest time I was sure it was called simply "Police" I found it. After all this time It was a screen one production called the police http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296151 Tsietisin fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Mar 30, 2012 |

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw during the 90s. However I don't know if it was made in the 90s or not. The movie was set in the same time period as Pirates of the Caribbean. The story was told from the view of a kid who was caught between two factions fighting on a tropical island. I'm not sure if any of them were pirates or not. The only thing I can remember from the movie was a long battle scene where the "good guys" fought in this log cabin style fort and the kid reloaded the muskets the entire battle. I also vaguely remember somebody scaring someone else with a story of a ghost pirate named "Duke".

The fort battle was part of the novel Treasure Island, it may have been some adaptation of that? EDIT: in the book I think it was called the Stockade.

There have been a number of adaptations of the story, but I feel like maybe you're thinking of this one in particular: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100813/ It had a fair few respectable actors in it, too.

Me and my girlfriend are looking for the name of a recent romantic comedy movie. It's about a female journalist, working as an intern for a newspaper. She falls in love with a guy working in a job which he doesen't really like but they're living in different parts of their country which hinders their love. There's also a scene with him im a tanning booth in which he gets sprayed with the spray tan and in the end he's somehow finally becoming a band manager which was his dream job all along. And there's a sex scene in a kitchen somewhere in the movie as well.

The whole town is gathered in the (wooden?) church just outside of town because of some crisis. The devil is somehow involved (maybe he visits the church at some point?). I want to say it's something based on a Stephen King novel, probably from the 80s or 90s. Please tell me that I'm not just making this up. EDIT: Maybe the devil has offered the town some sort of deal, and they're in the church to vote on whether or not to accept? I don't know, this may just be my brain trying to fill in the enormous gaps in my memory. From Earth fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Mar 31, 2012 |

Schweinhund posted:In the Mouth of Madness possibly. The main character is a Stephen King like character. Nope, it's not In The Mouth of Madness. The church I'm thinking of is a lot smaller than the one in ITMOM (think wooden church in a rural area), and the movie focused more on the citizens of the town, rather than on one outsider. I'm having second thoughts about the Stephen King connection (none of the King-based movies listed on Wikipedia sounds right), so just ignore that part for now.

I watched the trailer, and I recognized certain characters and shots. Plus, there's this part of the trailer, which has all the elements I described (group of character gathered in a small church, the "devil" offering them a deal, which they then have to vote on). Thanks a lot!

I saw part of a kung fu movie: Two men were fighting on a dock near a waterfall. They were in the standard shaolin kung fu getups for movies. One guy had this invincible armor that blocked swords and anything, that was this scaly metallic stuff that had merged itself in his skin. And he was fighting a normal guy who was losing the battle. It looked like a fairly recent movie (past 5 years or so). Anyone?

Looked around for this in one of these threads years ago, but I don't think it was ever answered: Asian gangster movie from the 90's or early 00's. Lots of dark scenes, and I remember a lot of green-ish and blue scenes for some reason. The end of the movie involves the bad guy decapitating the good guy's girl in a field, in a hugely over the top way. When he chops off her head her head flies high in the air. I don't remember there being much blood, if any. Also, this scene isn't meant to be funny, although I remember it being unintentionally so.

A request on behalf of me and brother. An animated fantasy film where the final scene is the villain who is an evil wizard turns into a dragon. The hero defeats him by pointing out how absurd dragons are and starts listing things like Math Equations and Science stuff. My brother remembers it from the early nineties, I remember it from the british Cartoon Network when they showed it a lot in 2002 (after LoTR and Harry Potter became big). Any ideas for its title?

Okay, I saw the last...15 minutes of this on TV about a month ago while on vacation. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, because I know it starred John Wayne, and was a Western. When I turned to the channel it was playing on, Wayne's character and several other guys were crouched under rocks or a bridge or something engaged in a shoot-out with a posse. Most of Wayne's guys died, but Wayne and another guy who may or may not have been Dean Martin survived because Wayne killed enough of the guys to force them into retreat. I don't clearly remember the end, but apparently the bad guy was the owner of a gun shop, and Wayne ends up confronting the guy, and blowing up the shop in a massive explosion with the guy inside.

I'm trying to think of a kid's movie, I'm pretty sure it was claymation, in which a shady character sings a song about "If I'm lying, may lightning strike me down." I thought it was a Rankin Bass movie, but I looked at their list on imdb and none of the titles looked right. Ring any bells?

Here's one I've been wondering about for years: I saw the film, I believe in the early 1980s, almost certainly on PBS. It had that made for TV/PBS/BBC look to it. I believe the actors/accents were American and not British, but I can't say for certain. I don't recall the special effects being horrible, so it was likely made sometime in the late 70s or early 80s. Plot: Scientists have investigated the planet Venus, and after debate decide on a plan to terraform it. They deploy satellites that drop algae into the upper atmosphere. The theory is the algae will consume carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen, reducing the greenhouse effect and eventually making the planet habitable. Ending: The plan is successful, but scientists landing on Venus discover that there was some form of indigenous life form that they have inadvertently wiped out. I've read a lot of discussions, even forum threads, on terraforming generally and Venus, but I've been unable to find the name of this film. I've come across several other individuals who recall the same basic plot elements and also can't recall it's name.

Its almost certainly not the movie you are talking about, but Red Planet has a very similar plot including the stuff with the algae.

I saw this film about 5 years ago but it was a much older film I would say in the 1960s or so. International film that may have been called 'fancier time, fancy time/happy time' I don't remember the rest. The main plot of the movie is following the actions of one man who keeps missing other supporting characters by a few moments in each scene. Eventually the main character ends up bumping into the other characters at the end, and each scene where he just missed them adds up into one entire story. This may have taken place in France. The buildings were very modern, silver. And there is a scene where a new hot restaurant opens up at the end. All of the characters we have seen before are here, then all hell breaks loose. If I remember correctly there is hardly any dialog for most of the film.

My roommate is trying to track down a movie she saw years ago. It is about a woman who is having trouble getting pregnant, but she is obsessed with trying because of a past miscarriage. She blames her husband for them not being able to conceive and has an affair with their neighbor, who then murders the husband. The movie ends with a shot of a table covered in positive pregnancy tests. My roommate thinks this film was made in the 90s.

The accents were definitely American, it wasn't full movie-length, and I guess it was officially released on VHS if we were watching it in school. (I don't think a public school would be allowed to show something they just recorded off of PBS.) Searching on Google it seems that there are a ton of people who remember this film, but none of them know the name. How strange.
