Two movies I saw when I was a kid, placing them somewhere from the 70's to the early 80's, I have a vivid imagination, so some of this poo poo may be wrong or made up.

The first was a cartoon movie about a young elephant that maybe gets orphaned, there was maybe an evil vizier-type dude as the villain who gets his comeuppance at the end, and it seemed to last about 4 hours, and seemed to have fairly ornate drawings.

The second, another animated movie, but with marionettes, like a Thunderbirds/Joe 90 thing, except the lead guy fell in love with a robot girl marionette, and at the end they were in a boat on the ocean and discovered he was a robot too.

I’m in bed with a cold-flu thing, so I did my homework: this was ‘Hugo The Hippo’, from Hungary in 1975. Really un-pc, blood and terror and massively psychedelic visuals, plus songs from Burl Ives and the loving Osmonds. No wonder my generation are so hosed up.

TV series maybe?

I remember him and some girl running around somewhere in Ireland or London being chased by armed people. Multiple movies/episodes like that. It was like a lower budget Snatch minus the comedy. Contemporary 80/90s Britain. Gangster and stuff and certainly the IRA which he may have inadvertently assisted but not because he cared. The girl might have been IRA too.

He doesn’t have anything like that in his Imdb credits. He did play a soldier in a Paul Greengrass film, but it’s not what you’re describing. Any chance you’re confusing him with another raggy rear end English guy?

Close. The Spy Who Loved Me. Can't find a clip, but he needs to get through an armored door and the only explosive big enough is the HE section from a Polaris missile, but if he touches it to the side of the missile while extracting it it'll explode.

Here's from the script:

Bond: Blast!

Dude #1: What's the problem?

Bond: I mustn't touch the impulse conductor circuit.

Dude #2: This ring houses the impulse conductor circuit.

Bond: It's magnetic. I mustn't touch it with any part of the detonator.

Dude #1 What happens if you do?

Bond: It'll go off.

Also that guy died yesterday, weirdly enough.

I've just remembered one scene from some movie. Someone goes to meet their friend(?) who is teaching a class. They stand in the doorway and watch as the girl is teaching. She is blonde and writing on a chalkboard about Marxism(?) There is a testy exchange between her and a male student. This is a color film from the 60s or 70s...

Anything else? This is familiar.

I saw some sort of historical drama or adventure movie set in India. The only scene I really remember from it was of a widow burning, where the, presumably British, main character shoots the young widow so she doesn't get burned alive.

A tv show called ‘The Far Pavilions’ has a sutee ceremony in it, though I don’t remember a coup de grace at the end. Kind of sticks with you, I can’t remember sutee shown in any other western media.

This was about 25-30 years ago. It was a trailer of a movie with a plot that somehow got stuck and never let go. From what i can remember it was an american movie.

The story was that it was about a guy, i believe it could have been a college movie, in which the narrator talked about a guy, between 20-30 perhaps who had it all, good grades, good family, friends and a nice girlfriend, and then it asked the question of why he killed himself as he clearly had it all mapped out.

I dont know if it was suppose to be suicide or murder, no clue. But i have wondered since what this movie was about and ofcourse which movie it was.

That early Keanu movie?

what a weird and mediocre show; it feels like i was a part of some focus group for watching it and i can't really explain why

Mediocre is the right word. I get what you mean about the focus group too: if I’d been specially selected to watch this a year ago, with the caveat that it was a visual story board that still needed a ton of edits and inserts, an actual soundtrack, effects polishing, and a complete story overhaul, I’d have been extremely impressed.

Good things include the baby, Werner, the Ughnaught, the robot, and the speeder troopers. The set design and decoration and the costumes were all on point too.

Bad things, almost everything else. Lots of poor cgi work, incomprehensibly bad music choices, Gina and Carl, the ‘simple people of the land’ episode, making the jailbreak boring with that cast, the pathetic rpg ‘gain companions, level up your gear’ feeling throughout, and, most egregiously, that the initial episode predicament ‘bad guy wants thing’ was resolved eight episodes later with the thrilling ‘slightly more powerful bad guy wants thing’.
