    There was another movie about some school in Australian Outback where the class & teacher were kidnapped, then went Rambo on the kidnappers. Very creepy ending... Just can't remember the title.

    I wouldn't say terrible. In fact, I rather enjoyed it at the time--was only a few years ago.

    Okay, as we seem to be playing name that movie, I've got one. I seem to remember a spy movie where the villain and the good guy play a deadly game of Risk, where they both sit on either side of a Perspex screen with a map of the world on it and play out WWIII. With each country they take out the other person gets an electric shock, the voltage depending on the importance of the country in question. Of course taking out either Russia or the US would deal a fatal shock to the opposite side. I thought it was a Bond movie, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, so maybe it was a Bond-ish movie?

    Okay, there was this movie that I saw on tv as a kid, maybe mid-70's; at the end of the movie there are these guys having a final shoot-out, and if I remember right, there is some kind of green gloop exploding all over the place... they may be even firing it out of special guns. One of the characters pulls up his sleeve and reveals he has a small automatic pistol strapped to his forearm, which he takes out and begins to fire. And that's it. That is all I can remember, but I've always wondered what that film was.

    It's going on thirty years or so now, and I'd really like to know what I was watching all those years ago. I don't think it's The Green Slime.

    My classmates and I were trying to remember the name of a movie in class.


    I believe it was an 80s/early 90s film and this little boy had pet mini dinosaurs. It wasn't Indian in the Cupboard.

    Could it have been Hercules: the Legendary Journeys staring Kevin Sorbo?

    I think it's more likely to be The Adventures of Sinbad. I think it ran for two seasons.

    Thanks, thats it.

    I remeber i once watched a movie about time traveling. The main character jumped into twentysomething century, than he jumped forward and found himself in a prehistoryc looking time. Humans were regulary kidnaped by some weirdlooking creatures. He talked with some sort of hologram with wich met after his previous time-jump.

    Anybody has any idea wich movie was?

    This one isn't a film, I think it was perhaps a failed pilot for a t.v. series. I saw it maybe ten/fifteen years ago on a German t.v. channel, though I don't know if it was actually German, or simply a U.S. program that had been dubbed (most likely, I think). Basically, it appeared to be a sequel to the movie Heathers, with an actress that bore a resemblance to Winona Ryder (but was not her) who was still in high-school, and was receiving visions of what I assume was a dead Heather (the blonde one, only played by a different actress). I can find no mention of this t.v. movie on the net, and I wonder if it was only shown in some European countries. Does anyone out there know the program? I would love to know who the actress who played Veronica was, she did a great job of mimicking Winona Ryder's character.

    Here's a movie I've been trying to identify for a while.

    It has a ghost whom most people can't see scooting around on his back at a party, trying to look up women's dresses. He then stops under one woman and exclaims "No panties!"

    I could have sworn this was Beetlejuice at first, but I watched it this weekend, so that can't be it.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    I remeber watching a tv series about an international agency of kids how fought some evil organization.

    The ,,Kid team"s base was in Australia. They once saved the Mona Lisa from being stole. There were a few characters how appeared in almost every episode. They usually cooperated with a local agent.

    I remeber one episode took place in Krakkow.

    Could someone give me an imdb link?
