You're not thinking of Tank Girl are you? Can't remember if you see her undies in it but kinda sounds like what you're talking about :P


AHA! An excuse to watch Tank Girl (I know it's crap but it does have Naomi Watts wearing transparent PVC trousers... what else do you need?)

I will report back.

Oh wow thanks so much! I am 99% sure that is the movie. I guess my imagination got a way from me when pictured Lori Petty in this movie:) To be fair though it was a very sexual and liberating movie that I probably should not have seen at that tender age of 9.
 
I'm trying to remember the name of a movie, I remember the following from what little I seen.

It's about a skilled Lawyer who never loses.
He has to defend his Man Client who's accused of some kind of sexual crime against this woman/girl.
The lawyer sees the Man Client rubbing himself in a sexual way as the woman is talking in court.
The lawyer now knows the man is guilty, and in the bathroom, the other lawyer says to him "I guess you can't win them all"
He gets so pissed, that he defends the guy and tries to make the woman seem like she's in the wrong.


-----------------
Sound familiar? I believe this is towards the beginning, because I don't think I watched much of it.
 
I'm trying to find a sci-fi movie that I believe is from the mid to late 90's, and was probably made for TV. It was about the lead actor in a cheesy action-sci-fi TV series for kids who gets transported into an alternate dimension, or perhaps just a galaxy far, far away. The people from elsewhere see his TV show somehow and believe that its real, so they summon him to their world in the hope that he will defeat the evil overlord who rules over them. Its sort of a comedy, and the actor turned reluctant hero is sort of a superficial narcissist who undergoes a personality transformation by the end of the movie. He has some sidekicks, including a teenage boy and a warrior who wears a mask due to being disfigured. After a long quest, the hero finally reaches the evil overlord at the end of the movie and defeats him.

I would be very grateful if anyone knows what the movie is called or has any idea where I could find something like that.

I think you are looking for Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen as the cheesy actor.

I thought that until they got to the disfigured warrior. There have been a few movies of that kind, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a TV movie I've never seen.
 
Do you remember a show where there was a bald host and a couple of people in colored uniforms. It was some sort of game show where they go through these ancient labyrinths. And have to retrieve a huge diamond of sorts within a certain time limit or they get lost in it. Each team mate gets a chance at a challenge. At the end of it, one of the team mates gets to rescue the team mates that are stuck and also get to go into this giant globe sort of structure with huge fans that blow up money. And they have to collect as much money as they can.

I used to watch this when I was a kid but I can't remember what it is! :(

There is this movie I remember watching in the 1980s about an experimental space suit that has a fancy heads-up display, that can even tell if someone is "non-human." A scientist in its development suspects something is wrong in his lab, and he uses the suit to find out if his colleagues are being replaced by clones. He confirms that, and goes into a mountain, rescues his family and the mountain blows up. Been trying to recall that movie.
 
Need help remembering this kids animation/show's title.

Ok guys, i have a problem that i need solved.
When i was younger I remember watching a 3D shape animation/kids show where two toys come to life and somehow or other they end up in a space world where they face problems to do with 3D shapes and have to find energy drinks to keep them going.
In the space world i think the toys had to find shapes to build a palace for a queen or something? One was a boy with blond spiky hair and the other toy was a girl.
Sorry it's so vague, i can't remember much! I was about 6 when i watched it so it could have been made in the 1990's or early 2000
I'd like to find this show again to stir up some much loved memories.
If you kind of know what show I'm talking about then please let me know
Thank you so much
Lily
 
Old TV episode about boy lost in wall.

When I was a kid I saw an episode that was like one you would see on Twilight Zone. It was similar to the show "Little Girl Lost" on the Twilight Zone. In this show, however, there was a dog that disappears in a home and his owner who is a little boy goes looking for him and finds him in another dimension through the living room wall. The boy goes after the dog down a circle staircase. His parents with another couple come home and can hear him calling but cannot find him. They discover the hole in the wall but it is getting smaller and smaller. They are holding on to the dad who has one hand through the wall and the boy is climbing the stairs toward his dad. At the last second the people pull the dad, the boy and the dog all through the portal and the opening closes up completely. Everyone stares at one another in disbelief.
I have searched for this episode for years and am always directed to "Little Girl Lost" which is not nearly as well done as the version I saw. Has anyone ever seen this and do you know where it was from?
 
Documentary movie about Hiroshima or Nagasaki???

Thank you for idea, but I don´t think that it is this movie. Movie which I think is about girl who left school because she helps at home and thanks to this she survive attack on town where is her school. There are also real war shots. It is more document than movie. :confused:
 
Re: Trying to find this animated movie

There are 2 animated movies from the 80s that I am trying to get the names for...

The first is about a fantasy warrior that is on a quest to save the world from darkness and he has to kill a shadow character to win. There are forest and castle scenes. It was a TV movie. He actually gets injured by the shadow character.

The second is an animated movie, maybe Disney or by Buena Vista, about a cowboy who goes out to San Francisco and is shanghaied by a crew of asian pirates (I think his name was Justin Morgan). At the beginning he is on a farm riding his horse and the adult horse has a colt.

Please help.
Thanks, please email thoughts to [email protected]

Trej- I know you posted this about 7 years ago, but I was looking for the first movie you mentioned today about the shadow character and I believe it is the Faeries (TV Short 1981). Here is the IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192008/

Have a good day, Eh!
 
SciFi B Movie from possibly 1950s to 1970s

I do not know the exact timeframe when I saw this movie ... it could have been between the 1950s and the 1970s. It seems more early to me (especially since I seem to recall it could have been in black and white, though I am not certain about this). It definitely was not in the 1980s.

I remember very little about the plot. There were some astronauts or space travelers on a space craft of some sort, on a mission from Earth. The craft was large and was traveling through space on a journey. While traveling astronauts may have stopped on an alien planet or made contact with some form of alien, perhaps unknowingly. Somehow, these creatures ended up hiding out in the crew's air duct system and/or inner engine workings and laying all of these pulsating alien eggs all over the ship in hidden parts of the ship.

The ship was in deep space, so there was nowhere for the crew to go for help. These eggs multiplied at an incredibly fast rate. I cannot remember how it ends, only that it had me really tense!

Does anyone remember this movie and know the title and the year it was released?

Thank you. :)

The pulsating eggs bit made me immediately think of Queen of Blood which is a pretty spooky little film on this theme. Though there was only one alien and the hiding in the air ducts doesn't really fit your memory of it.

Except for the eggs, it could be "It! The Terror From Beyond Space"

Thanks! This might be it. :) I do remember there were eggs found on the ship and I thought they were hidden and discovered by the crew. I am going to try to find a copy of this and watch it and see if it is the movie. Will let you guys know.
