Hi all!

Can anyone help with a kid's movie I saw a few years ago?

It is about a boy who finds this sheepdog. The dog leads him to a tree in a field. When the boy leans against the tree he and the dog are transported back in time. There is one scene where a girl can't breathe and she is in hospital. He rushes over to give her a puff of his inhaler before he is dragged out. She survives because of him. I think that he read somewhere that she died and that is why he knew what to do.

I would love to find out what this movie is. Any brainboxes out there who can anyone help? Thanks

I need help remembering an old sitcom.

I don't remember much about it. I think it was probably produced in the late 70's or early to mid-80's.

It was about some sort of media, I think about a newspaper. I'm not for sure on that. It could have been a radio or TV station. (It's not WKRP in Cincinnati.)

In the opening sequence, a guy (I think the sportscaster) almost took a bite out of a baseball, thinking it was an apple.

My father used to watch this show, and I've been wracking my brain trying to remember what it was. All help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

Haaaah. Found out what it was on my own. Turns out it was "Barney Miller." Not about media at all. Oh well.

New here, I was looking for a message board just like this cause figuring out this movie is driving me nuts. It's about these four vampires that have fought in all the wars...that about all I remember, think the last war they fought in was Vietnam. I saw the trailer for this movie and it looked really good, but now I cant even remember the movie I watched that had the trailer. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't seem to remember this Sci-Fi tv show for the life of me. It's been bugging me the last few days.

It was an animated show set in the future. It aired sometime in the mid to late 90's, most likely around 97 or 98. There was only one season, or maybe part of a second one. Not many more than 10 or 15 episodes though. I don't remember many details (I would have been seven or eight at the time) but it reminds me of the movie Titan AE a lot.

It centers around a late teenagerish kid who escapes earth (which I believe is destroyed at some point) and battles against this oppressive government type. We see his father during the first episode, I think fighting off some alien dogs as he is born or something. As the show progressed I think he found his dad. One of the last episodes was an hour long and they went to a different planet, or maybe the moon and then I think the show ended.

Sorry I can't be much more help, I was really young and no one else seems to remember it.

Thank you so very, very much Mark (and everyone else who agreed that this is the correct film)! I've been searching for years and everyone thinks I'm crazy.

You guys are wonderful!

You guys are wonderful!

Well, we try.

But Thank you for the thank you.

Now all you've got to do is track a copy on DVD down....

Just for the record, it was shown quite a lot here in the UK on BBC TV in the 70's. The Chuck Jones connection can't have done it too much damage.

Certainly remember watching it when little before Doctor Who (so that'll make it a Saturday, then.

)

Ok I saw this really strange movie a long loooong time ago. I only remember these parts this girl is staying with this really sweet old couple (i dont remember how she came to be with them but she doesnt know them well) They have this big hot tub in their home and this girl swims in it all the time, the woman said her husband built it for their kids i also remember it having toys in it. Then the girl found heads in a cabinet downstairs and i think they were trying to eat her or atleast kill her or something. If anyone knows about this let me know PLEASE! LOL.

I know this post was rather old and maybe the poster has already figured it out, but this was a sequence from the "Tales from the Darkside" movie.

Hi there! I have been trying to remember a series that had an episode where one of the men on the crew of a ship was trying to be chosen as a husband & father to one of the women that ruled some planet. It was supposed to be the highest "honor" he could have. Can't remember much more about this episode or the series ( I was very young watching it) but I THINK there might have been a blue lady on the crew as well. Thanks for the help!

**B5B7** · September 14th, 2009, 01:16 AM

That reminds me of events in both Star Trek and Andromeda, but the blue lady makes it seem possible that it is Farscape.

There was a movie I saw a preview for a while back that I'm having a lot of trouble tracking down. From what I pieced together in the preview it was a Victorian/Steampunk fantasy film about a masked superhero who may or may not have been Schizophrenic.
I believe it was called something like "Franklin" (I do remember the title being the same as the main character's name) but my efforts to find it have proven fruitless. Any help?

I am trying to remember a movie (probably 1980-90) in which there is a scene where a guy is getting lessons from another guy on how to remove a girl's bra. They are using a plastic doll and in one scene he gives it a squeeze and it slaps him. There are about 5 bras on the doll and each time a way of removing it is told there is a name of the steps. I think one was something like "snap and jerk" or "hook and jerk". I think I have ruled out Animal House, Up the Creek, Fast Times, Rock N Roll H.S. It's been bugging me for the last year or so. Nobody seems to know.

HELP!!!!
