What is the title of this movie?

This movie has a plot similar to the 1978 movie 'Same Time Next Year' but a very different ending. The two movies chronicle the loving relationship between two people who only see each other once a year. 'Same Time Next year' ends happily but the older, black and white movie has a bittersweet ending; the relationship ends with the death of the man.

Could anyone please help me find the name of an older movie. I believe it to be from the '80s although I am not entirely certain of this. In the movie, a young boy is picked on by another young boy. The kid hires a quiet young adult to be his bodyguard. The man drives like a dirtbike or a cheap motorcycle. When the bully finds out that the kid has hired a bodyguard, he hires an adult bully to bully the bodyguard. The actors are caucasion, I believe the older bully to be bald-headed. I can only remember the one scene the 2 kids and 2 bodyguards meet in the park and the adult bully is trash-talking the bodyguard and takes his bike and I think walks it into the lake. Al-the-while the bodyguard barely looks,acknowledges, and doesnt even speak to the bully. Please help! Thanks.

Please Help Me!

Oh, you're talking about 'My Bodyguard.' Here's the trailer. But yeah, as Ken showed you, there's already a thread for this.

Hey, thank you both very much for the responces. I am sorry for the multi-post. I'm brand new to the site and still trying to figure out where everything is. I sincerely appreciate the help. F.Y.I. they do have it on Netflix so I did add it to my dvd queue, however, unfortunately it isnt currently available as an instant watch movie. Thanks again!

...can't remember the name of this movie...

i saw a movie back in the 90's about this home (b&b maybe) and the woman was wanting to get rid of it so she put an ad in the paper for people to write a story (about what, i can't remember) then she picked the best story and they got the house...maybe takes place in an eastern state in the USA...please help, it's driving me nuts!

Can you tell me if you know this movie set in new york in 70s/80's?

I am having trouble remembering the name of a movie i watched years ago. It was about a mother in her late 30s early 40s who lived and owned a deli with her father and daughter in most likely Queens or the Bronx in New York, the actress who played her had long brown hair husky italian american accent, looked a little like Sally Field, i remember in the movie the daughter is working on a science project which involves plants being fed meat. I know that sounds wierd but it was a great movie, please help if you know!

This has been driving me crazy for years!

All I remember from this sci-fi movie is one scene. A spaceship crew, plus one chimp, are about to enter into cryostasis for the duration of their trip. The chimp has been fitted with his own, unique chamber. However, he decides to activate a human chamber instead, leaving one crew member to remain awake after failing to fit into the chimp-sized one. Overcome by boredom, the lone crew member passes his time by painting an elaborate ceiling mural out of tubed space-food, exhausting the supply ... I'm not quite sure, but I believe that the art was done in the likeness of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling.

...I really hope I get some help with this. Thank you, to anyone who responds!

I think the movie you want is Rocketman starring Harland Williams.

THANK YOU!!!!

I have two movies that have been driving me crazy for years.

The first movie seemed to center around a family in America. I think it was either a farmhouse or trailer trash atmosphere. Anyway, I remember two scenes. One is where the old guy (father or something) got angry and started threatening someone with a gun. Then something happened and the man fell down or something. Then the lady said, "You... son of a gun. You didn't have any bullets in that gun, did you?" And he said, "No! What do you think I am? Crazy?" The other scene I remember is around the end of the movie, when one of the adult brothers shows up in a helicopter and threatens to use it to destroy the house or something, but he's clearly emotionally disturbed and having second thoughts. His brother starts to count down, and the one in the helicopter keeps interrupting the count, like "10... 29... 18..." That's all I can remember from that movie, if indeed that was all the same movie.

The second movie took place in a cold northern town. The main character used to be a doctor (a surgeon, I think), and he meets this black guy who drives a car which has its interior covered with pornographic pictures. As the end of the movie comes around, we find out that the black guy is the killer. The two meet on a train, and the black guy cuts the train engineer's femoral artery, saying, "It's too late for him, doc," or something like that. Still, the main character fixes the wound and saves the day.

Does anyone know anything about either of these movies? I've searched all over IMDB and I haven't found anything so far.

The first one sounds like it might be Home Fries starring Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson

Wow, you're right! Thank you so much! The only one that remains now is this one:

What's that movie about the young girl who has no family?

What's the name of that movie that has a girl with no family - she is played by a number of different women of all ages and backgrounds. At one stage she ends up living with a weird christian family, she loses her virginity to a boy in the woods, great film but very strange. She is black at one stage, old in another....

Any ideas?

I think this movie would have been early 90's. I was really sure that it was a The Flash movie but i checked and a movie about The Flash hasn't been made. It was about a guy who could run super fast (see why I thought it was The Flash) One scene after he had just got his powers he runs for a bus but cant control his speed so ends up running super fast across town and eventually into the ocean. I think the bad guys are this motorcycle gang that throw these green glowing grenades (kinda look like green traffic lights).

I've seen it. That is indeed the Flash. More specifically, it's the pilot episode of the 1990 TV series "The Flash," which was released on video. Here's the link to that episode http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099580/ I thought it was a movie too, until just now. Go figure.

That sounds like Palindromes. Is that it?
