Here are descriptions of a couple scenes from two different movies that I remember. I'm hoping you guys can identify them and tell me what movies they are.

If I think up more later, i'll add them. For now, here they are:

1: This scene was in a medieval type setting. There was a romanish looking captain guy with some men around him, a guy who looked like he was a prisoner, and a family watching from a higher balcony of a sort. With his back turned to the prisoner, the roman guy said "You should have killed me when you had the chance", and the guy answered "I don't fight like that", and the roman yelled "Well I DO!" and he turned around and thrust a spear into the chest of the prisoner. The family above gasped in horror. The roman then yelled up to them something like "Tommorow I feed your son to the dogs" or something along those lines. I don't know if the guy was roman, that's just how I describe him.

2: This one's a little tricky. The movie looked really bizzare. There was a family. There was a dad and mom, and a 10 year old boy. The 10 year old was in love with this 10 year old girl that lived nearby. I remember the kid had a conversation with his dad where his dad told him to forget about it, and the kid said "I'm 10 years old! I really like her alot". The dad, after an argument with the mom, finally went and encouraged his son. He said "Talk to her, sing to her!", and the kid said "Sing?". Then there was a scene of him in a tree, throwing stones at her window. When she came to the window she asked "What are you doing here?", and he started singing to her. The girls dad started coming up behind her so the kid ran away.

2 cont: Then I remember a scene of the kid and his dad in a little tree house, and they were pretending they were in an airplane. The dad then accidently fell out and had a heart attack. There was some mention of some old woman that he was in love with for a long time, and a big "revelation" it seemed, was when someone said "she's alive!". I had no idea what was going on though. Then the dad and the kid flew out to where this woman supposedly lived, and as they were approaching the house, the dad was getting a heart attack again, so the kid had to drive. He couldn't slow down the plane, and they almost smashed into the house, but it stopped just in time. They got out and stood on the deck of the house after knocking. While waiting, the dad's face and hair rapidly changed color. He was growing old, at an astounding rate. His skin become old and wrinkled, and his hair became thinner and whiter. Then the woman came out, and she looks just like he did. Same skin type, and hair. They both looked pretty old. The three of them walked down and out into the distance. End of Film.

Thanks for any help you can give.

First Movie: I believe what you're looking for is Where the Red Fern Grows.

Second one had Mel Gibson in it, that's all I know. I think.

Jawbone54 · Mar 1, 2007, 06:59 PM

Forever Young?

macgeek2005 · Mar 1, 2007, 07:43 PM

Thanks. It seems like those could be right, but Where the Red Fern Grows doesn't at all look like the movie I saw. And Forever Young.. it doesn't mention anything of Mel Gibson having a kid who's in love with that other little girl.

The "dogs" are what tipped me off too. I loved those hounds.

Railroader · Mar 1, 2007, 07:53 PM

The second movie was Flatliners.

zerostar · Mar 1, 2007, 08:13 PM

I think they are messing with you... Why not look here: Mel Gibson (I) and see if any of those movies look like it. You sure the 2nd on had Mel Gibson in it?

olePigeon · Mar 1, 2007, 08:17 PM

The third movie was Short Circuit.

the 2nd description of the 2nd movie is definitely "Forever young" with Mel Gibson. Although I really don't remember the first description being in the same movie (not saying it wasn't... its been awhile since I've seen that movie).

In a nutshell, Gibson plays a WWII test pilot who had an inventor friend. And they were working on a cryogenics project. Gibson is frozen and somehow ends up in some Air Force storage area.. and was discovered by two kids. He then bonds with the kid and is helped by the kids mom (Jamie Curtis) to find his past. That "girl" he's flying to is his girlfriend who he though died in a car accident back in his day. And the "heart attack" wasn't really a heart attack, it was a side effect of the cryogenic process... basically he was aging faster..

Ah... there's my little fanboi/stalker.

You don't quite "get it" do you? I am not surprised.

Would either of these movies be described as one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of our time?

rjenkinson · Mar 1, 2007, 08:39 PM

no. only the secret garden can lay claim to that.

They need to make more movies like that. Warmed the cockles of Uncle Doof's heart, that did.

Jawbone54 · Mar 2, 2007, 12:25 AM

I can honestly say that I've never watched Forever Young. I've never seen The Exorcist either, which is probably more of an oddity than having not seen Forever Young.

HA! excuse me, that was rude

centerchannel68 · Mar 2, 2007, 05:24 PM

Alright, my turn:

It was some movie about teenagers in the 70s, and they played football in a suburb a lot, none of them were from wealthy families, and they drove around in a big blue car, a big 70s cruiser, and near the end of the movie, they go to canada to buy some pot, but instead the dealer wants them to take a spare tire full of herion across the border back int to the USA, and they dont' want to do that, so the dealers shoot one of them. Then they come across the border on some bridge, but get out of the car and walk across, and the guy says at the end "I'm not scared that we would have been caught, I was scared of what might happen to us if we didn't get caught".

What the hell movie was that?

Rumor · Mar 2, 2007, 05:31 PM

How about this one:

"Yoo hoo, I'll make you famous."

mitchell_pgh · Mar 2, 2007, 05:39 PM

My turn...

It's set in a medieval time. There is a guy walking near a cliff. He enters a cave and there is a casket of moving faces. There is also something about magic arrows.

Theres one other movie I need help identifying.

All I remember is that there were a bunch of people going around thinking that everything they saw and heard was real, when in fact it wasn't. They took everything very seriously, the believed in things, and they did the most pointless things in very serious manners. It was extremely comical, to see grown ups and intelligent people running around going meaningless things, thinking they there was a purpose simply because they couldn't see the overall picture.

Oh wait...... I don't think this was a movie.. cause that's how people are in real life. That was real life, not a movie. Sorry.
