Hello RyszardCudowny, there are so many... just let me name these few: 1) Sleepless In Seattle - what a wonderful Happy End! :-) 2) (I suppose you live in Poland? If so, here's one from a neighbour country :) S tebou me bavi svet (1983) - Easy to follow even without subtitles. Really funny! (Around the same time, the Czechs made lots of good movies with funny entertainment - think about the movies with Tomas Holy... I really liked to watch the german versions of his movies, years ago when I was a kid :-) 3) As to French movies - do you like Louis de Funès? It depends on which movie you chose (some are a bit over the top) but most of them are really GREAT fun :-D 4) Peter Sellers at his best: The Party - absolutely a classic... Kind regards, freundliche Grüsse aus Deutschland :-) Andreas (123all4me)

Hello, thanks a lot for the compliments! Over the last two or three weeks I found that there's still less "traffic" here on the boards than before... Maybe it's because in the U.S. there are Summer Holidays now? I only wish there were more pages related to actors/actresses and movies, and on the existing ones there should be more traffic; not just on the general boards... To me, these "special pages" are the part of the site where moviechat still is lacking much of what was once available on imdb... until Col N. went m*d one fine day and scrapped the best part of it... grrr....!! ;-P Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello captainbucky, I like the movie very much, too - mostly for Eric Lloyd's performance... :-) When I found the movie Luminous Motion (1998) some years ago - I had already forgotten about "Dunston..."; imagine the surprise when I found that the Boy Actor who sparked my interest in this latter one was just the same! I guess Eric just had developed, already at an early age, a very good skill to impersonate characters of quite different sorts (just can't say that better in English, sorry ;-) ...for I can hardly imagine two movies with a more different overall "atmosphere"/style. First we have a wonderfully lighthearted comedy on the one side - and then a dark and mysterious story (which still leaves me guessing what it was all about, what was real and what was illusion, etc.) on the other! Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello rcocean3, in case you're still somewhere around :-) ... I'd like to mention this one: Julie (1956) - because it's different from most of her other movies. AND to my knowledge this was the first time ever that the idea was shown on-screen "what would happen if a person who hasn't a license to fly an airplane must try to get the plane safely back to the ground?" - imagine that was some 18 or 19 years before "Airport" was made! Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello boredconnoisseur :-) Piranha (1978) was a classic of the genre; Piranha Pt. 2 / The Spawning was still acceptable IMHO - but then it became really absurd (e.g. Piranhaconda) and/or the acting was just not good enough (I don't like any of the various remakes)... As to animal horror movies in general, I always prefer the classics from the 1950s - outstanding, after all these years: Tarantula! - to the early 1980s (with a peak in the 1970s). Someone put Anaconda on the present "forgettable crap" list... I've seen worse movies of the kind; when I watched it on TV here some years ago, I found it OK... Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello mark, I'd like to add this one which I like very much (despite the tragic end!) - The Champ (1979, feat. Ricky Schroder), remake of the original 1931 version feat. Jackie Cooper. Have you seen Jungle2Jungle (feat. Sam Huntington)? This is the remake of the french classic Un indien dans la ville (1997, aka Little Indian, Big City) which has an A+ performance of Ludwig Briand... at least IMHO... What's your opinion - does the remake have the same "class" like the original? Or would you say the remake is rather forgettable? Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello boredconnoisseur :-) As to no. 19 of your list - of course this one isn't quite as good as the original movie; later parts of the "series" I found to be outright crappy; but I think Halloween II wasn't THAT bad... And even had all other actors performed like absolute beginners - which they didn't, IMHO - I like Donald Pleasence's performance very much!*) Halloween II had an impressing "showdown". It was really "sufficiently final", to put it that way... Consequently all of the later parts were just a big waste of money (and an ordeal to the viewer's patience and logical sense! ;-) To sum up, Pt. II is quite watchable as long as one doesn't expect too much. Not a masterwork, but still above average, I think... Kind regards Andreas (123all4me) *) ...and the synchro of "Dr. Loomis" in German is perfect. One of those cases where the synchro voice fitted to the actor like "a glove to the hand"!

Hello ColumboKate, no -sorry- this is not the movie I'm looking for... I'm sure there weren't any monsters and/or supernatural elements in the story. No aliens, zombies, et al. Just a young woman who went mad, at a certain point, and then did a lot of very weird things... BUT still I would like to thank you very much for your reply! (the thing is, I've posted several -more or less silly, maybe- questions, over the last 4 weeks; and you're the first one to answer, in two week's time... It seems most people are on holiday... ;-) Can you see my other postings when you click on my "moviechat name"? If so, feel free to leave some comments, whenever you like to - it would be a pleasure to read more postings from you :-D Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello ribtin, I would like to mention 1) from the classic era - a) Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge... and the other Ducks created by Disney; b) Mickey Mouse and the other mouse-, cat- or dog-styled figures with which he's often combined. Favourite artists, as to 1. a) Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Flemming Andersen; Giorgio Cavazzano and a host of others from Italy and Southern America 1. b) Floyd Gottfredson and many others I'm not much interested in both figure's old animated movies -though these are classics, of course- but I prefer the comic books / magazines from the 1950s to 1970s; as to Donald Duck, I was glad when in a German comic magazine they reprinted lots of his old newspaper short strips from the 1930/1940s, some years ago :-) 2) My favourites among the "heroes" of newspaper strips - in alphabetical order, as I have no preference within the list: Calvin & Hobbes Garfield Peanuts Clever & Smart (and I'm sure there are others I just don't remember, at the moment...) What amazes me is the fact that -unless I overlooked something- not a single of these comic "families" or figures are mentioned in any posting here. Very strange... It seems the classic Duck and Mickey Mouse "heroes" are nowadays more popular here in Germany than in the country where they once were "born". Isn't that strange? ;-) Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Trocadero Bleu Citron (starring Lionel Melet, Anne Duperrey, etc.) - had to wait a long, long time for that gem; now (since 2017, I think) it's out on DVD :-) Greetings Andreas (123all4me)

Hello HodWatt, this is a good point - and I think crazyaxton was right, too. I think instead of just leaving the viewers guessing "so, WHY did he (the truck driver) do this?!" - it might have been better to insert some sort of 1) either a "flashback" the truck driver had, which might explain why he went mad; or 2) something like an aftermath - when Mann talks to the police, later on, and it turns out that he wasn't the truck driver's first "target"; that they had been after that psycho for some time before, and maybe there was an explanation; e.g. "yes, that guy had been a truck driver for years; just a normal guy, but then one day there was a car accident where his kid and his wife got killed; he witnessed the terrible scene but they never got hold of the other person who got away with it - and that's when he went mad! Since then he has been "hunting" just for this type of car which you, Sir, have the misfortune to drive, too... Some three years' time we were on his tracks, half a dozen people got killed; but now, Sir, it's over..." Anyway, it's a great movie, even without any explanations given ;-) Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello, I know this one might be too old to be of interest for you (pre-1980), but it's a true classic of the "genre": Bad News Bears (1976)! Greetings Andreas (123all4me)

Playa Prohibida (1985) - Almost from the start, it was clear that this would not end without someone get hurt or killed, sooner or later... - but still, the last 3 or 4 minutes of the movie were surprising!! Anyone watched this one? Best regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello DuesExBiological, thank you very much for your interesting reply! At the moment I have two or three other (more or less) silly questions of mine, still unanswered for some days now... I really wonder whether anyone might take the time to respond to these, too... When I checked back, day by day, and nothing came in - well, I thought, this is really "booorrrinng". I should explain that strange spelling... You know Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, don't you? I love them both, they are so funny! In one of these comicbooks there was a panel showing Calvin, all alone, standing in the backyard of the house; no other kids around; and so he just didn't know how to spend the rest of the day. Imagine him yelling just that single word (it was lettered in extra-fat!) all over the place; with his shoulders raised, his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and a very annoyed look on his face. And in a lower voice, he added something like, "Why can't something unexpected happen, right now? Somthing exciting, unheard of?" At that point his mom called him to the kitchen and announced that today there was no scrambled eggs in the meal BUT something "much healthier": Broccoli. Whereupon Calvin thought something like, "Well that's the kind of SURPRISE which I did NOT want to happen!" ('cause he obviously hates vegetables!) ...Just hilarious :-) LOL! Again, thank you very much! Greetings from Germany :-) Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hi folks, the above questions have remained unsolved to this day... so, for the purpose to give the fruitless would-be-thread a new start, I'm in the funny situation that I first have to "answer" upon a post which I MYSELF had left on imdb two years ago. (sprendlinger was my "ID" for some 7 or 8 years there; now I'm 123all4me!) LOL! Experts on obscure Far-Eastern Martial Arts movies, come to the fore please! :-D Could the right time possibly be the 1920s? (No men wearing long "pigtails" anymore = posterior to the 1911 revolution; as to the region: possibly somewhere not too far away from the coast, but not in the immediate vicinity of big cities like, Hongkong, Canton, etc. - on the other hand, the village wasn't so isolated that someone couldn't go to an optician to get there the modern-style glasses I mentioned...) Perhaps the setting wasn't at the coast at all but rather along a great river... As I said I haven't got a clue about the kind of fishes sold at the local market... Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello boloyolo - why do you think so? I'm sure you won't agree on this, but IMHO - Giovanni Frezza's performance was all right, so far - on a scale from 1 to 10 I would give it a 5, sometimes a 6. It wasn't HIS fault that the whole movie was rather B-style and crappy. Of course he had to conform himself to the script like all the other actors; how could he alone make good for what the movie didn't have, due to the poor acting by the adults? In any case, to name him "retard" is way too harsh, I think... No, Sir, I liked his performance very much. The botched English dubbing (in a squeaky, toddler-like voice) wasn't his fault, either. I didn't find him annoying or something like that. On the contrary! There were some 2 or 3 other movies he was in, at a young age... Fingers crossed these are on DVD, too :-) Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)

Hello KingTrump, I know this is a very old post - but in case you're still around here, one question please: The boy you mentioned, was that Josh Albee? The same actor who played in a "Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn" version which was made around the same time?? I haven't got "Earthquake" in my collection as yet and it's been a long time ago since the movie was on TV here (in Germany)... and the only place where I watched "Tom Sawyer etc." was on youtube, some years past. So I can't cross-check these two movies, for the moment... Kind regards Andreas (123all4me)
