You're not talking about Ode to Billy Joe (1976), are you? It's a coming of age film starring Robby Benson who was actually 20 years old at the time of the films release.. :think (He looked like he was in his mid to late teens..)

The hook line from the song that the film was based on keeps running through my head: "...Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahassee bridge..."

Unfortunately, I guess that isn't this movie. There ir two more details I forget: the first is that the story is passed in the 70/80s, but the movie is current or not too old. The other is that the boy seems to have some punk rock style. Maybe something about his clothes or hairstyle.
Thank you very much for the answer, Kev!

I'm going with 2 Hollywood

A bald actor (I think it was vin diesel) protects an oriental girl (japanese?) She has something that the mafias in the city would kill for her involves Japanese Russians Albanese and even the cops themselves

The other, is a child gets into a big problem (terrorists or mafia) has an imaginary friend his dad is an engineer of the air force (the same actor plays his father as his imaginary friend) the movie is from the decade of the 80's and the scenery is San Antonio, Texas I remember showing el alamo

Queries for movies here.......

Post by Terrysherry »   0 likes

Just creating a separate thread reserved for me. Because there are so many movies here that I haven't heard of or watched and many that I have watched or had in my wishlist to watch but no longer remember the movie name or the story. If there is any other thread specifically for this purpose where members can ask/enquire about movies they have forgotten. Do point me to the thread and close this thread. Thank you.


Ok so I just recalled a vague memory of a movie here which had a storyline of something about a magician I think who adopted a girl as daughter but it's also possible that he may have created the girl using magic and as the story progress, he begins to get attracted to his adopted daughter. Anybody remember any movie with a plot similar to this. The guy was childless I think. Not sure though.

This thread was quite fruitful for a while if I remember correctly: Identification of films ;). Maybe we should fix this thread at the top of the General sub forum ...

This came to mind after more than a decade.
It is a movie about the war, more exactly the WWll the boys play in the ruins of a bombardment and intercept a girl (I'm not sure) they ask her to show in her panties in exchange for jewelry and the boys line up and start to look she beats those who stay too long watching and even some boast 'they have seen better' and another aside some look through the bolt of the door when their parents make love.

This movie did not know the title because when they were broadcast there were no commercials only the few channels that went long on the broadcast.

It has been a long time since I've seen it, but this sounds like Hope and Glory (1987).

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093209/

https://www.first-loves.com/forums/view ... +and+glory

A review I found says in part:

"Seen mostly through the eyes of 9-year-old Billy, bombed-out rubble, the breakdown of order and discipline, and even a downed enemy pilot are all fuel for his adventurous spirit. ... Billy learns about sex from brief glimpses of his older sister that show bare legs, a bare male torso, and thrusting, with moaning and laughing audible. A tween girl holds out her underwear so a group of younger boys can look down into it in exchange for jewelry, and 9-year-old Billy claims he's had sex. Sex and violence are briefly paired when Billy's slapped and then kissed on the head by a group of teen girls in their underwear."

So, is this the film you are thinking of?
