Name That Film, Ask here about a movie you cant remember Options

[LESTAT]

Ok i figured i'd start this for people like me who cant remember where i put my car keys let alone a movie i saw 20 years ago.

Maybe we can make this a sticky or long running thread.

this will basically be a thread where if you cant recall a movie or film you saw, then come here and ask us and maybe we can help you remember it.

1.
Be as descriptive as you can, tell us approximately when you saw it last or when you think it was made. Actors or actresses in it, and anything else that will help us help you remember.

2.
When replying to a person with whom you want to help address them directly so people know you are trying to help that particular person with their movie question

3.
If possible post a link from www.imdb.com so we can look to see if its the one we are thinking of.


So i'll start this off.


This is a movie i saw a couple of times when i was a kid. Early 80's maybe even 1978-80 maybe 82-84 i dont recall.

Its about a woman who develops a growth on her back and the Dr's can't figure out what it is.
The go thru this and that and cant remove it. When they try and remove it, i THINK i remember the Dr's being hurt by IT.
She's in the hospital and this growth just keeps getting bigger and bigger until its like she is giving birth from her back. She later on becomes somewhat possessed by IT.
What it ends up being is this ancient Indian Medicine man trying to reincarnate himself. And he does from what i recall.
As a kid i thought this was a very freaky scarey and good movie and i have for years and years been trying to figure out wth this movie was.

I cant say for sure when it was made or who was in it, all i can say is i saw it on TV when i was a kid, but exactly when i cant say,, probably sometime between '78-'84.

Anyone want to take a stab at this and try and help me remember what movie this is.

i think girl next door had under pressure in it, not sure if it opened with it, certainly wasnt mid 90s though

@ gcskate: you did not just use pauly shore and opus in the same sentence, what is the world coming to?


and a movie that ive been thinking about, i could probably find it if i looked hard enough but i gues sill ask here and give you guys soemthing to do, lol

it was a group of boys who went on some trek to find the body some other kid who i guess got hit by a train, i think one of them died on the way, i keep thinking of the fat kid from sandlot, but i might just be confusing scenes of this movie with the sandlot, all those "group of boys" have the same cookie-cutter fat kid (and the one with glasses)

i keep thinking of the fat kid from sandlot,

Would you believe that The Fat Kid in STAND BY ME is Jerry O' Connell from SLIDERS and Crossing Jordan Shows.

its weird, ive actually heard of all the kids in the movie an dknow them from other stuff, its weird to see child actors that had careers (well sortof for most of the kids) after their child movie, lol
