What is that movie where women ruled the world but it's not Planet Earth or Genesis II?

I remember watching it probably about 10 years ago now on English television.

It's definitely not Planet Earth or Genesis II, it wasn't as old as those movies but followed a similar plot. I remember a guy coming forward in time and becoming friends? with a woman who had a lesbian girlfriend. All the women were lesbians in that world and created their babies in a lab. The world was very much up to date and normal, regular houses/flats, a nightclub etc. I do remember a nightclub that had a grand staircase (i think) and big drooping curtains, it was almost like an A-list celebrity party. Everyone was dressed elaborately. It wasn't soft core porn movie either. I'm sure the woman tried to help him get back to the world he belonged or something similar. There may have been a group of men towards the end of movie that were found living out in an area abandoned. I remember a strange huge stone rounded staircase or something? Sorry I'm so vague!

I always thought maybe I was dreaming but my sister also remembers seeing this film but we can't seem to find out what it is called anywhere!

My guess is that it would be a 90's movie, I really remember it being much more modern than a 70's flick.

Hello,

I am trying to find a short film made in the 1980s, which is quite obscure. It is around 10 minutes long with the defining characteristic is that it's shot entirely from above with the camera pointing straight down at the earth, not at an angle. It was probably shot from a balloon or perhaps a helicopter (not sure if helicopter filming was that stable in the 1980s). The camera floats over landscapes starting somewhere like Africa then I think it cuts to another landscape so it's now in LA and so on. Lots of landscapes to make up a short film. It was shot in the late 1980s and I think it may have been a filmed by a commercials director on a personal project.

It's quite similar to elements of the Koyaanisqatsi series of films, except that its all shot quite slow and dreamy. Also Koyaanisqatsi varies the angles and shots used, but this is all shot directly from above and there aren't many films that do this - can anyone think of others? This short is more about people as opposed to landscapes.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Reply here, PM me or email me.

thanks,
Brian

Looking for a movie where a group professional thieves / hitmen (general bad guys dressed in black with radios) take over this family and hold them hostage for some reason. Only the don't get the kid who goes around setting letal traps for them (no it's not home alone). Like one he soaks the floor with salt water and when one of the bad guys uses the computer or something he get electrocuted. I think he also uses a remote control truck with a camera on it (although this may agin be one of the home alones). Also the daughter tries to seduce one of the bad guys. Would be a 90s movie.

Hi all,

newbie here, tried every google search I can think of. I'm trying to identify a movie. What I can remember:

late 70's/early 80's espionageish type thriller where the protagonists are a group of kids. they have some cool gadgets, in particular a swiss army knife and secret compartments, etc (their globe hides food / candy). It's very much in a similar vein as Cloak & Dagger and maybe Russkies to some extent.

I want to say there was a blond all american kid, a red head genius kid, and a black kid, but don't quote me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the vague info.

He the computer tech, gives him a mini computer to place on his arm, which has wepons and a few other tricks built into it. The devil send deamons and other hellish creatures up against the guy, and of course he beats them all. He ends up getting his girlfriend back, and defeating the devil. Some of the thing I remember from the show are: at the begining of the movie, the tech guy is jogging, and switches a traffic light using his glasses.

Twisted Desire (1996)

IM TRYING TO FIND OUT THE TITLE TO THIS MOVIE FOR MY BROTHER. HE THINKS IT WAS MADE IN THE 80;S AND ITS PLOT GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

A GROUP OF KIDS(SCHOOL CLASS) KIDNAPPED AND HELD HOSTAGE BY A MEN WHO WEAR MASKS TO KEEP FROM SEEING THERE FACES. ONE OF THE MASKS HE SAID WAS RONALD REAGAN AND ANOTHER HE THINKS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PIG/HOG, AND THEN MAYBE A DUCK MASK. THATS ALL HE CAN REALLY REMEMBER ABOUT THE FILM, CAN YOU HELP US

There's one filmed in Australia about school children being kidnapped called Fortress (1986) (TV)--"Fortress" explores a shocking concept of how easily a borderline between a victim and an attacker can be crossed. The children and the teacher, calm and peaceful by nature, when driven beyond their limits by the kidnappers, eventually respond with a cruelty and fury extending that of their oppressors. The kidnappers wore masks like a duck and a clown. But the creepiest part is probably the Santa mask worn by one of the gang members (called "Father Christmas"😉. A Ronald Regan mask was worn in Point Break by Patrick Swayze.

Hi!

Back when I was a kid (90s) a specific scene from a movie had a deep impact on me, to the extent that it is now the only thing I can remember about that movie. Probably because it might have been one of the first times I saw a pair of breasts in my life lol

I don't have that much information, I just remember it being some kind of teen movie a-la John Hughes. In this scene, a boy and a girl were inside a car making out, he was probably a nerdy character since he was noticeably intimidated by her. Then she took off her shirt revealing her perfect breasts, to the boy's shock. Then she would say "Aren't you going to touch them?" then... nothing. I can't remember anything else from that movie.

I think the film was probably from the 80s, and i watched it on TV.

Does anyone have any idea what movie might it be, with so little information?

Hi all,

This is going to be quite hard as I have very little recollection other than a significant start of the film.

It's a 70s US movie (95% sure)

The scene I recall is right at the beginning of - it's in an office where the main protagonist (male) works. At some point people enter the office and start machine gunning everybody in there. Only our protagonist and a Chinese American leading lady manage to escape...

I then have no idea what happens and may not have even seen the full movie.

Any ideas at all?

Thanks in advance

Hi was asking for help with a kiwi movie, its about a brother and sister who deliver eggs to customers, then unfortunately the sister dies after being trapped in a old freezer,but her brother see s her all the time.

I've been trying to find out what this movie is since I saw it, in the early '80s (I think) on TV. I was very young then, so parts are murky. I am desperate to find out the title of this, as it's driving me nuts....

It starts with a young girl is walking down train tracks, explaining what happened to her older sister whom is now "in the boneyard." I don't remember who she's talking too. She is in a dead, dusty little town somewhere in America. Her third person narration leads into the first person story...

They live in a house with their mother (and father??). The mother lets rooms to passing guests, so I guess it's kind of a B&B thing.

Man comes through, stays as guest and and older sister hooks up with him. Mother walks into guests room to find her in bed with him. Sister is looking for a ticket out of town, so I think this was a regular occurrence.

Sister gets man (same man?) totally drunk one night (don't know if she was drinking too) and they get married on the spot. In the morning, when he's still passed out, she "rolls" him, taking all the money out of his pockets and skipping town without him.

This part is all murky... She's living in a big city. He's looking for her. I think he sees her on the street at one point. Maybe he does? I don't remember what happened or how she died....

I don't remember how it ends, though it might come back to the young girl who is "telling" the story, balancing on the tracks.

This is killing me! It's probably some crap made for TV film (or not), but I've been wondering for years. If anyone has ANY idea, please clue me in!

Thanks!

The movie was called 'This Property is Condemned' with Natalie Wood (older sister) and Robert Redford (travelling guest)

I've been tearing my hair out trying to recall the name of a movie I saw in the 80's and wondered if anyone can help out?

The movie was french, I saw it on tv here in the uk in the 80's and it was basically about a moody police officer who had a girl in custody, taking her in for questioning, but whilst driving the long journey to the station, he rapes her on the hood of the car, by the roadside.
A very erotic movie as I recall.

Anyone know this one?

B.

O.k. here is where I date myself, in the mid 70's there was a movie about a marine who was on some kind of drug, I believe Jan Micheal Vincent was in the movie but I can not find the title. I believe LSD was the drug and this guy was going thru basic training. Any help would be great.

Hello, I am also new to this forum and thought I would read through the threads to see if there was anything I may be able to help with.

I believe the movie above is "Jacob's Ladder." It stars Tim Robbins

First time I've had to use this, hoping someone can help me out with the name of a movie that I saw awhile back.

I believe it starred Beau Bridges or someone who looks like Beau Bridges with a light beard who plays the role of an art teacher who draws nudes. He has a female student who poses for him and also sleeps with him. Meanwhile his wife is cheating on him with one of his male students.

Interesting note, I remember a scene in a car where Bridges' character and his male student are driving down a road and that trashy song by Khia 'My neck my back' song is playing and the kid goes to turn it off and he says leave it, I like it.

I'm almost positive it's Beau Bridges but every time I try to look it up on IMBD I come up with nothing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help.

This sounds like "The Door in the floor" with Jeff Bridges
