Does anyone know the name of a really stupid 80s film about two brothers who go to some beer factory? I think that's what it is. They talk like they are from Canada, like "A" all the time. I can't remeber who the guys were, but it was pretty silly. I've been trying to think of it and I can't for the life of me remeber! Thanks

This one is from the late 70's or the early 80's. Its about a little girl who starts seeing her sister who dead in a car accident. Evenaully you find out that the dead sister is trying to drive the little sister crazy. She blames the little sister for her death. There is a part in the movie were you see what happened. The whole family (mom, dad, the two sisters and the younger brother) in the car and they have an accident. Everyone hurries out of the car. All except the older sister. Apparently the little sister was going to prank on her and tied her shoelaces together. And that why she couldn't get out of the car before it exploded.

Does anyone know what this movie is? BTW, the older (dead) sister is always in braided pigtails.

i'm looking for this 80-90's children's movie.
It's not the dark crystal but in my memory it's alot alike. One child (i don't remember exactly, maybe it has a sibling) goes away from home to a secret island/country to find..(something) and encounters several monsters and creatures.
It's not animated, there are actually actors but also puppets.

Hi everyone, first ever post!

I cant for the life of me remember the name of a film. Its possible it was a 90's film, but I very much doubt it, i think it was mid to late 80's. Basically, its a similar setup to Tales from the crypt/CreepShow/Bodybags, that is to say, a Horror triptych, woven together by a background mini story or narrator, and with large dollops of black humour. I'll be honest and say I dont remember two of the stories, but one has stayed in my mind forever. Its basic the story of a kid who is a bit of an outcast, but only because he is thoroughly obnoxious, and his hobby is pulling the wings off flies, and making macabre dioramas with them, including a church scene, complete with a crucified fly and parishioners! He also gives a girl at school a cookie, the "chips" turning out to be flies..... As I said an obnoxious little swine, who clearly has it coming to him. things now get a little hazy for me, and i dont remember whether its magic, chemicals or what, but some of the flies hes been keeping grow huge, and in revenge for what hes been doing, pull his arms off, and at the end, the last shot of him is with prosthetic arms with little hooks on! Id love to know what this filw was, so if anyone can help, let me know!

Hi Johnnybravo,

I'm somewhat guessing on this one, check out Frog Dreaming. Personally, I know this movie as 'The Quest'.

My first thought is Labyrinth. , with a very young Jennifer Connelly.

SciFi genre that the local cable station used to air at 12:00am every so many weeks. The last time I remember seeing this was in the early 90's and have wondered at the name of it ever since.

The movie is about the colonization of the moon, and features a woman scientist who has separated from her husband. They have I believe two kids together who live with her on the planet. There is a crisis and the father becomes the saviour of the planet after somewhat reconciling with the mother and they have conceived a child. Weird plot line I know, but still I loved this when I was younger... Classless B movie, but what can you do? the name of the colony was the thing that started with a P, it was something like Plymoth (ie Plymoth Rock...). There was a solar flare or solar storm headed for the colony and the family's son was trapped outside on the surface. He was in danger of radiation poisoning and the dad went to save him. I just remember they had an Alien butler and everyone was so worried about a baby being born there because there was no telling how crippled or hurt they may be due to the gravity/atmosphere.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, I think it started with a "P" but I could be wrong. I have been searching IMDB for a while with no success.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi, I just joined this site because I need help with finding a movie [Smile]
My movie has got to be from 1981-1984. It is Spring Break in Ft. Lauderdale and there are two sets fo guys who rent the same room, two of the guys are such dorks(like me), while the other two are studs. They all get along and share the room. It's mostly based on the geeks and somehow one of their fathers has his yacht down there and I believe they end up burning it by accident.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I am looking for a movie
What I remember is this guys dad is out of town and he takes out his dad's sports car and crashes it into a tree
When his dad gets back the son gets him drunk and then takes him out to the scene of the accident and puts him behind the wheel of the car to make him think that he was the one that crashed it.
Then at the end of the movie I seem to remember the guy and his friends rebuilding the car with a bus engine and entering it in some sort of race.
Does anybody have any idea what this movie is?
It is driving me crazy.

wow, I was trying to figure out if you were joking about not knowing this movie since it is an 80's classic. Can you say
Fast Times at Ridgemont High . And you were correct about that being Judge Reinhold (Billy from BHC) in the movie.

The end of the film is that these UFO's rebuild the house for the people in it amongst the new america sky scrapers.

No one knows the name of this movie! It is about a guy who is a writer I think who becomes a gigilo. He participates in womens fantasys. One is a whipping fantasy, one he is dressed as a cop, one is with food and one is with a politian. He also has a girlfriend. The women all become mad at him because he is putting them in his writing. There is also a dream sequence where he is in a pink tunnel with hands reaching out to him. It is not loverboy. I think this movie played on USA up all night or comedy central. Anyone know?! Thanks!

Hi I'm looking for the name of a movie that came out maybe in the late 80s or early 90's. I remember it stared this brunette (can't think of her name) who breaks up with her boyfriend and goes to work for a terminally ill blonde lady (I think she may have cancer but I'm not sure. Anyways her ex finds out and they scheme up a way to try and take her money when she dies. He becomes her gardener/caretaker and is taking advantage of her illness when he falls in love with her. I remember him taking her to the mountains and they make love in the meadow. Also at the end of the movie he creates for her the most beautiful flower garden I have ever seen, he asks her to marry him and makes rings out of flowers for them both. She says yes, lays in his arms and then passes peacefully away.
I can't for the life of me remember any of the actors names or the name of the movie. Somebody has to know...Please Help. [Smile]
