Ding ding ding, that's it for the two ghosts! I guess the dinner party one was another one? I'll watch it tonight :D

The other one might be Dinner at Eight, I'll give it a look.

Your description of the dinner party made me think of John Huston's The Dead... longshot but it could be.

Some of this fits one of my favourite films, What’s Up Doc. Ryan O’Neal is engaged to Madeline Kahn for about half the movie, then leaves her for Barbara Steisand. She plays a pain in the rear end, and he’s constantly annoyed by her for most of the first half. The only thing that doesn’t fit is the park: the film ends with an almost unparalleled car chase through San Fransisco, including a very famous pane of glass scene and also a Chinese dragon, which I’m sure you’d remember.

Well technically it ends at the airport, but that also doesn't fit. What's Up Doc was the first thing I thought of too, probably because I just watched it like 3 days ago.

not sure it fits exactly (especially because it’s in black and white) but the description reminds me of the rooftop crane shot from I Am Cuba

Starts about 2 minutes in

Yeah this sounds a bit like Outer Space by Peter Tscherkassky.

That's what I was thinking too, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the name.

Not a movie, I don't think, but probably a show.

I think it was PBS. Had a tall white guy, who looks like he was maybe 40, sort of looked like he was a part of Mr Rogers Neighbourhood, or Captain Kangaroo. He's in a room, and he MIGHT have been dressed up as Elvis. Either way, the whole time, he's singing to himself "who's the king of rock and roll? Tell me; I just got to know" over and over again.

The guy ALMOST looks like George Frankley, from Square One's Math Net, but it's definitely not him.

Edit: ok, he looked like Chuck Aber, but I don't think it's him, based on his IMDB filmography.

Wow. Again, thank you. How did you find it?

I had taped it off cable when it aired and watched it a bunch of times back in the day.

Samuel Clemens posted:

I'm looking for a black-and-white film of which an excerpt was featured in Godard's The Image Book. Said excerpt consists of a tracking shot moving from left to right along the outside of a train. Whenever the camera reaches one of the train windows, it briefly pauses to peek inside while a voice-over tells us a few facts about the passenger inhabiting that compartment (namely what they did during World War 2 and what they are doing now). I'm reasonably confident it's a Hollywood production that was made not too long after the war ended, but that's all I have to go on.

Just watched Napoleon and was reminded of a synopsis I read once. I’m honestly not even sure if it s a movie or a book but it was about a French soldier under Napoleon’s army who became a straggler or deserter and was trying to make it home on enemy territory. I want to say Russia but even that seems hazy.

This is ringing some bells for me... picturing the dude hiding out with a family in a little cottage, and falling in love with a woman who lives there or nearby. I feel like my movie was more WWII-era, but could be wrong. I'll keep searching my brain for it.

I just realized I was thinking of the ending to The Grand Illusion, which is WWI.

Longshot but could be Revenge of a Kabuki Actor (1963)? Protagonist is a female impersonator, out for revenge, lots of very stylish set design and cinematography.
