Hello CD.
I've got two that I cannot for the life of me remember the names of.
Both are German (the versions I've seen both had subtitles), set in the modern day (I think), are live action and both star rats as their antagonists.
One has a generalised rat plague, and has a group of exterminators as the heroes. There's a female doctor as the love interest and her daughter gets bitten at one point.
The other involves a literal army of rats. The only thing I remember about this is a scene where the leader of the rat army talks to the human lead in a sewer chamber or something.
Hopefully this rings some bells.

I've never seen it but there is a movie from Italy called Rats: Night Of Terror.

In this movie there is a girl. She is in need of adoption, but the man she wants to be adopted by cannot adopt because he is a single man. The girl has an odd pet. Like something that is usually only seen as a wild animal. Like a squirrel or a raccoon or something. At the end the man gets together with a woman in a little serendipity and he can adopt the little girl. I saw this in the early to mid 90s on VHS and it was buried in the general release section of the Family Section so it was nowhere near new. I want to say it took place in France and was dubbed into English, but I'm not actually sure of that one.

Big ol' flashback to childhood, right here... this has to be the Quebec classic Bach et bottine, or Bach and Broccoli. The girl owns a skunk, and the man is her bachelor uncle. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090684/

Alright, I searched the first 30 pages and the last 30 pages and didn't find anything that identified the movie based on what I know about it, which is very little.

I saw it probably about 10 years ago on television so it is older even than that. All I remember is that there was a man and a woman building a jigsaw puzzle upside down. The man was probably the woman's father or grandfather and I think he died so she finished building the puzzle by herself and then at the end she flipped it over. I don't even remember what the picture was.

I tried Googling and just got a Yahoo! question where someone asked about the movie and no one had answered it yet. A girl I work with remembered the same part too, but nothing else about the movie.

Thanks in advance.

Well I can tell you that happened on an episode of Salute Your Shorts when Budnick and Michael pretended to be sick. Budnick starts the puzzle upside down and Micheal is incredulous but soon the puzzle is finished. Micheal flips it over to reveal what the picture is...ice cream! As he sees the picture, he looks up to find that Budnick got the key to the padlocked refrigerator somehow and they ate a bunch of ice cream.

Yeah, I'm thirding the idea that that's just an episode of Salute Your Shorts, but reading your vague recollection of it is really funny because of how it mixes up a lot of different elements of the episode but is still identifiable.

It's not an actual movie, but a concept for one that may have a trailer, although I'm not sure. It was about how a bunch of huge alien spaceships landed in the middle of a city or were found somewhere, but instead of aliens coming out, they just sat there, completely closed off. So by a few decades later, the city's built up around the giant ships to the point where there are restaurants and other buildings and whatnot on the ships themselves. A major plot point may or may not have been the ships finally opening up or about to open up. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's neither of those. I remember one of the shots or maybe a picture was of this giant spaceship dwarfing all the buildings around it, and there were kind terraces built onto the side of it. I think two guys were having coffee or a meal at some restaurant that was built on one of these terraces.

Hi guys, I'm trying to remember a name of a sort of horror/action movie. I think it takes place in a museum and the main character is a woman I think and somehow some monster gets loose in the museum and kills a lot of people. I think there's a scene where you see the monster and it has almost ape like movements and big snarling teeth and it's swinging around a big two story room. The films may or may not contain some sort of antidote type cure or something.

I only saw this movie once and have been looking for it forever. It's a western that starts in "modern day" I think the late 60's with a man looking at a painting in an old saloon of a man killing a bunch of other guys in a shoot out. A character asks what that painting is all about and the barkeep says something along the lines of "Oh that's the legend of El Tigre"

So basically what happens in the movie is this guy is headed back into town after the war or something and he is jumped by some guys who think he is a horse thief or frame him as a horse thief... anyways they brand a big loving T on his chest and leave him for dead. For the rest of the movie Big T goes on a rampage killing the men who wronged him...

But all the searches I have done I cant seem to locate this movie, any help goons?

This movie was on TV over 30 years ago, so I am not sure if it is a TV show or movie.

And again, since it has been over 30 years I may not be remembering these things correctly. I just remember seeing two scenes shortly before being sent to bed:

Someone has a bag of 'magic sand/powder/whatever' that he uses to make a solid line of sand just a few inches wide, stretching from one side of a pavement road to the other. I believe they were being chased by someone(s) who were driving a car. When the car reaches the line of sand, it crashes, as if it had hit an invisible brick wall. I think there was an explosion.

Later (or before) a man is attacked by a black animal of some kind. Wolf or panther or ?. He struggles with the beast and manages to squeeze the life out of the creature with his arms. After the beast is dead/unconscious it appeared to switch back into a woman. Maybe she was dressed shaman-like. I can't remember.

This has been bugging me off and on for years.

The main character was like supposed to be dead but came back to his wife and son. His wife doesn't want him. He acts like an older stewie griffin. Kind of racist and not a good person. We see when the meet and she's like girl who comes up on roller skates at the drive thru. I think he was like an explorer or a newspaper tycoon. But anyway stories are told.

Life would be simple in the forest except for Cyril Sneer. And his life would be simple except for The Raccoons.
I saw a preview for a movie once, a few years ago (mid-2000s) and have never been able to track it down. All I remember is that it was a sort of adult coming-of-age type story, featuring an (I think) white collar working schlub expressing his hidden depression/disatisfaction with society's structures/obligations. I recall it being of a somewhat supernatural nature, like the Truman Show or the Lost in Translation (I remember this point specifically as I like these sorts of movies, and so this preview jumped out at me). I could've sworn the lead was Ben Stiller, but upon revewing his filmography, I don't see any movie that matches the description. I still think it was a similar type of actor though - someone known for comedies but plyaing a more serious roll here (think Jim Carry, or Bill Murray).

This isn't much to go on, I know, but hey its worth a try.

An interesting suggestion. I've never seen PDL, so I can't explicitly rule it out, and the description fits pretty well. However I recall when PDL came out thinking it had a stupid name and general thoughts of it looking like some silly chick flick, so I'm pretty sure that's not it. Also I hate Adam Sandler.

Supernatural maybe isn't the right word; I just meant done in that sort of artsy, expressionist style.

I'm a bit older than you and actually saw this as a kid when it came out. Dated cheesy effects, but a good movie. I like it. A couple scenes are really scary too if I recall. Report back after you've seen it! Young Jan Michael Vincent in his prime, I believe.

Hello all. Here's a fun one. When I was 13ish I went on a school trip, and on the coach one of the teachers put a movie on to keep us quiet for a while. The movie was innocuous enough, so much so that I don't remember much about it. There was a scene in an airport with parents and a kid, I think. Then suddenly there was a sex scene out of nowhere, both parties buckass naked in their kitchen, the man standing and the woman bouncing up and down screaming "don't stop loving me!" or something similar. Obviously being a bunch of teenagers we all fell about laughing and the movie was turned off. This was in December 2001. I don't remember any of the actors, but the woman was blonde, I think.

Sorry it's vague. I just want to know what on earth it was and why a teacher thought it was a good movie to show a bunch of 13 year olds.

That sounds suprisingly like a scene in the movie "Jerry McGuire"...with Tom Cruise. Was the guys response "I'll have to stop loving you."?
