Unanswered general questions about movies, TV and more

I only remember bits of the trailer for this British film of the 60's or 70's (?). It's an espionage or a possible spy spoof that starts by showing a man running down a street wearing a formal British teacher's robes (like "Mr. Chip's"). A voice-over says, "See this man? Very good. Carry on." He is then in a classroom with all beautiful college-age girl students. He asks a question to the class and then, after they answer, he exclaims, "Right, my children!" He then asks one girl a question up close, to which she replies the teacher's name, which spells out on the screen, AND is also the name of the film. Any help here?

I'm looking for the title of a very old Asian film. At the beginning, a man was running from a mob who shot him on a dead end alley. The movie resumed with a young man looking for his kidnapped blind sister. He eventually finds her within the kidnappers' fortress where she was instantly shot by machine gun. Toward the end of the movie, the hero and villain fell off a cliff where the hero inserts a diamond in the villain's eye.

I saw a movie when I was little, but I can't find out what movie it was. I think it was made in the 1990, based on a true story. There's a girl that's a little crazy and has a control issue, and another girl gets in trouble with her. The other girl likes to paint, and in the middle of the movie she is really afraid that the first girl is going to kill her, and she paints her own grave, believing she's going to die. But at the end she believes it's all over and paints over her grave, but sadly she dies at the end (killed by the other girl). The only thing I really remember of the other girl was that before, nobody noticed her, but then she changed - she had brown eyes before but used lenses to be blue-eyed.

I'm trying to find the name of a movie I saw in the 90's, about this drifter who's a musician and goes to a bar where a fight ensues. The musician starts playing guitar and he stops the fight as everybody is having a good time, and ends up working for the bar owner. He starts having an affair with the owner's wife, eventually plotting with her to kill the owner. They become the bar's owners, but the woman starts plotting against the musician.

I am looking for the name of a movie made in the 70s or early 80s, I believe set in Italy, in which, at the end, a woman's lover boards a plane after kissing her goodbye, and as the plane takes off it blows up due to a bomb which she placed in his luggage. I believe the song "All by Myself" played over the closing credits.

I remember part of this movie from the late 70's. There is a woman with long hair in the woods being hunted by a man after she escaped from a shed. I remember her being caught and hoisted upside down like she were a deer. I also remember her going through the woods and getting caught in a bear trap, then crawling into the bushes to hide. I though is was the movie "Rituals" but where is no woman in that film. It is in that same time frame - '75-'77ish.

I can't seem to remember the name of a movie that features a group of kids going through an obstacle course. The only things I remember are the obstacle course and a girl that has diabetes but doesn't tell anyone and falls or faints. I would assume it is from the 1980s or early 1990s but I could be wrong.

I am searching for a title of a film. I watched this particular film on HBO or Showtime in the early 90's. Do not believe that this film made it to the theaters and was probably released anywhere from '88- '92. The film is a comedy/dark comedy that starred an adult teenage girl who falls for a drifter guy and follows him to a different city. In the beginning of this film, the teenage girl hilariously breaks up with her boyfriend. Shortly later, the now ex-boyfriend approaches the girl's father who was leaving for work and states something similar to the following, " your cunt daughter broke up with me." I believe the drifter guy/new boyfriend may have been a mechanic. Otherwise, I do not remember any other information. For some reason, I thought this film was titled something similar to " True Romance" or "True Love".

I watched this movie when I was younger, it started when a woman was sentenced to her death by hanging. Her lover was about to save but he was too late, so she died and her lover can't accept this, so he chopped her up then stitched her back together so she lived again. I don't know what happens after but I'm looking forward to know if anyone can tell me what movie this is.

Which Jimmy Stewart movie has a scene on the front porch with an aunt saying something like, "People move to the city to make enough money to buy the farm they left in the first place."

I am looking for a movie, possibly a Lifetime movie, it is about a boy who beat scoliosis as a child by swimming to the island near his home. One day a girl and her supposed father show up and the father is trying to court the boys mother. The girl and the boy get close and there is a scene where she nearly drowns him. I believe it turns out that the girl hired the man that is claimed to be her father and her real parents were killed in a car accident by the boy's father.

I remember a detective movie from either the late 70's or early 80's in which one of the characters is found in his refrigerator. Throughout the remainder of the movie there are flashbacks to him sitting at a tape recorder discussing what he has discovered concerning the crime being investigated. These scenes are shown while the other characters are listening to the tape.

I'm looking for a movie where two brothers stand on opposite sides of a train, and a lady kidnaps one as the train is driving by. I don't know when it came out or anything.

I am looking for the name of a movie that may have been around the 80's or 90's. I don't remember exactly what happens, I think a boy is constantly being bullied by older kids. However, in one scene a boy is riding down the street on his bike and a guy throws a trash can at him knocking him over. Toward the end of the movie one boy has a gun and the other boy is worried for him, and all of a sudden the two boys start wrestling for the gun, and one kid is accidentally shot and rushed to the hospital.

I was wondering about a movie, in the 80's or 90's and the most I can remember is, in one of the scenes, a girl puts a lampshade on her head and it transforms her into this beauty with an amazing outfit. Possible a version of Cinderella but not sure.

I watched a movie when was a child(80s maybe 90s) and cannot remember what it is. It is black and white and the plot is as follows. A guy, maybe a gangster, gets paid off with a briefcase but it contains a bomb. He is nearly killed but nursed back to health by, I believe, nun nurses. He comes back and gives a briefcase to the guys who tried to kill him. They think he put a bomb in it but he put guns in it and kills them.

Desperately looking for the name of a film I saw a bit of in the early to mid 90s on either HBO or Cinemax. A brunette woman is laying on the bed. A man is standing at the end of the bed, and says, "Paul would kill you if he knew you were here." She says, "Well then, you better be worth it." He throws a pile of money on the bed, and they proceed to have sex. While they do that, the film cuts back and forth to a man on a phone talking to someone. He says, "Senator, I've got the documents, the deal's going down at (so and so time)." Eventually, some other guy comes up from behind him and strangles him. It keeps going back and forth between these scenes, and as the man is closer and closer to death, the sex scene intensifies.

I need help to find the title of a TV movie I watched on Australian TV about 10 years ago, I guess it was made in the 90's. It had Bryan Brown I think in a minor supporting role and was set in New Zealand. It is about a man with a biplane and a 12-ish year old son who eventually steals the plane (for attention) and crashes it on a beach. There is a female love interest for the father and some school scenes where the son is always in trouble.

I'm asking about a movie I saw when I was very small - this would have been in the late 60s or very early 70s (no later). I remember a man getting shoved in front of what was either a subway car or a regular train engine, and he gets run over. You can see his legs under the wheels. If I'm not mistaken, there's a scene afterward where a photographer had taken a picture just before the event, and you can see someone's hands shoving the man onto the tracks, so the authorities knew he'd been murdered and hadn't simply fallen by accident. Unfortunately, these few details are all I can remember. I'd love to know the name of this movie and see it again, as an adult, and be able to understand what was happening and process the "scary feelings" I had from watching it back then.

I saw this African American film some years ago when I was young on Starz. I think the setting is in Brooklyn or New York and I remember the father worked at a gas station pumping. He was angry at the son for some reason, can't remember. The dad dies later on in the film. I believe he had on suspenders and a white shirt. It's a late 80's early 90's movie, I think.
