Not British or from the 70s, but that sounds similar to the 1988 American film

Spellbinder

Edit: Domino beat me to it.

"Don't Be a Sucker" (1943)

Thanks

Hello friends of the forum. Excuse me if I turn directly to you with a request but I'm looking for a long time a film that we all loved in the family but no one remembers what it was called.

The plot - a millionaire's daughter falls in love with a windy, slightly crooked guy. The millionaire has a huge train in his backyard and keeps it circling. The daughter's boyfriend wants to impress the millionaire and wrap him around his fingers, he wants to make a race of trains with him. To win, he smears butter on the tracks, which comes out. And not only in this case the millionaire sets the dogs loose...

The film is wonderful but somewhere in our archives dusty and can no longer be found. If someone of you has an idea how the film is called thank you.

Curtiz’ Four’s a Crowd

It is a horror movie, and all I remember is a grown man being torn limb from limb by a group of children. I recall seeing it on AMC back in the early 2000s. Thanks in advance!

On-screen dismemberment and straight horror? So it's not Suddenly, Last Summer..

"Who Can Kill a Child?" maybe? It's been probably close to 2 decades since I've seen that, but the idea would certainly fit.

Possibly The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, in which Kris Kristofferson

apparently undergoes vivisection by a group of children on a hillside at the very end.

I've been trying to remember this movie title for years, but only have a single short scene in mind. It's 1940s and there is a party/ballroom where people are dancing. The lead male actor shows up and some woman who is dancing with a man says something complementary like "he reminds me of suchandsuch". The man she's dancing with gets mad at her and says "hey, what do I remind you of?" and the woman replies "orange juice!" lol

What old film is this??

I've been trying to dig up the name of this movie for days and have had no luck. It's a Japanese film, late 90s or early 00s. It opens with a woman waking up in a drug house and having sex with someone who gives her some drugs before she goes to an office job. She ends up leaving saying she's sick. I can't recall the next act very well, but at the end of the movie she goes home to her boyfriend/husband that the viewer is unaware of for the whole movie and he cooks her dinner.

Anyone have any ideas?

Identified this one - it was Junk Food (1998).

Different kind of query... who's the woman after Dolph Lundgren?

That’s Michele Lee.

Cheers!

There's a super low budget indy cult film from the mid-to-late 80s (if it was the 90s, it would have been very early in the decade, but I don't think it was) about a haunted California mansion written, directed by, and starring the same guy. I remember him using it as an excuse to throw in copious amounts of nudity/women in skimpy lingerie and bikinis. The filmmaker also showed off his muscles as much as possible and walked around in a thong for some part of it. It's in the "so bad it's good" category like Death Bed, etc. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I saw it at least a decade ago and wanted to recommend it to a friend, but can't remember the name.

Sounds a lot like Boardinghouse (1982).

Thanks, Porzana. That's it. I thought it'd be in the '85-'88 range. I appreciate the help.

A Dutch movie from 90s or late 80s. A man is sitting in a chair and masturbating in a hotel room. He is married and maybe a journalist. There is more, but my English is so bad, so I leave it there. Somehow I relate this to Greenaway, but it cannot be his movie.

I haven’t seen it in years, but possibly Alex van Warmerdam’s The Northerners?

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen De noorderlingen. One film that comes to mind is Hartverscheurend - Love Hurts (1993). But it must be 25 years since I saw it, so it is hard to say.

Having been away from the board for several years, it feels a bit awkward to come back and straight away ask for help, but here goes.

I'm trying to identify a piece of piano/orchestral music; a brief waltz which, from its style and length, I think is likely a film or TV soundtrack cue. I have tried many free tools, WatZatSong and other forums, as well as someone there even loading a 30 second extract to YouTube, in the hope of triggering that site's copyright system, without success.

Toyed with the idea of contacting the Performing Rights Society, but thought I'd try here first, to see whether anyone recognizes the piece, or has suggestions for further research.

The music was used, without credit obviously, in 2016 on the soundtrack at the start of an adult video online.

I uploaded the 96 second audio cue to Dropbox, where you can listen to it from this link (no account needed):

WC Fields is up on the scaffold, about to be hanged. They ask if he has any last words and he drawls, "We-ell, this will certainly be a lesson to me." Cracks me up, but I haven't seen it in 30 or 40 years. Not sure if from a feature or short. A Western setting, I believe. Don't recall his offense, probably swindling.

That would be the 1940 feature My Little Chickadee where Fields was teamed with Mae West.
