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.

Ok I got a toughie.

I don't remember much about this movie as I was pretty young when I saw it, so here goes.

There was this boy in it who would hide dirty magazines in his toilet. He would go to the kitchen get a piece of meat out of the fridge and cut a hole in it and *ahem* masturbate or have sex with it. He would then put the meat back in the fridge and then the mother would cook it for his dad I believe.

Another part of the movie has a girl, not sure how old, have a line of boys pay her a quarter or something to see her panties. She would pull up her dress and show them for money.

This is all I remember from this movie. If I remember correctly I saw it on Cinemax back in the late 80's. If anyone could help with the name that would be awesome.

Thx.

Not sure if this is it, because I haven't seen since I was a kid. I did see the last half hour a few years ago and even though it's one of my favorites I don't know what it's called. I figured I'd describe a little more in case someone else knows. That is if it's the same movie, since I don't remember the "meat masturbation."

Anyway, the movie I thought of when you mentioned the girl and line of boys(even though it's pretty common in movies probably) was a movie from the late 80's most likely. It was about a boy growing up during World War II in England. His father was in the war, his sister was boy crazy and at the end was pregnant by a soldier. At one point the father came back with an old rusty can he had found in the ocean. It was Jam inside and they were hesitant to eat it, but then loved it because of all the rationing. They would often go into their bunker during bombing raids. There was a scene where a blimp got loose and was drifting around their neighborhood ripping tiles off roofs until it was shot down. The women would draw lines on the back of their legs to make it look like they were wearing nylons since nylon was rationed. Eventually their house was bombed and they had to move. The boy cried because the fire melted his tin soldiers. His friends, which were kind of bullyish made fun of him I think. It was these boys who lined up to see the girl's whoo haa. I think they walked across a plank in a destroyed house to see. After their house got bombed they moved in with their grandparents. They lived on a river and the grandfather taught the boy how to use the boat and would play cricket with him. He was upset when the boy pitched him a wicked googly. While on the river planes flew by and dropped bombs which landed in the water. The shock killed tons of fish and they took them back to eat. I believe the very end had the grandfather taking the boy to school and when he got there upset he had to start school the school had been bombed and he was happy then. I think it ended with them laughing on the way home.

Is that the movie you were thinking of?
