I think 50 is Lonesome (Fejos)
66. The building crumbing is L.A Cathedral in The 10 commandments.
10 could it be Anna Bolena, by Lubitsch ?
13 yes, she is Clara Bow. Can it be wings?
I think 38 is City Lights (when he enters into a department store), not the circus

I caught some of Ben-Hur (1925) on TV the other night, and I thought I saw that crumbling building shot, but I'm still not entirely sure. It could be The Ten Commandments.

I don't remember a shot of Clara Bow on a boat in Wings, so I think it's something else. I've never seen any of her other films. Also never seen Anna Bolena, so your guess is as good as (better than) mine.

Clara Bow film is likely Down to the Sea in Ships 1922

I just did an image search for Clara Bow on a boat/yacht, and that shot is actually from It.

31 - The Kid Brother
49 - Speedy

11 is Harry Langdon, not Stan Laurel. Couldn't tell you the film though. 38 is definitely not City Lights, unless I happened to fall asleep at some point when I was watching it only a few hours ago.

Thanks Ashirg. I just checked my DVDs of both films (never watched either) and you are correct on both counts. I also found some other shots from the montage in these two films.

Eddie, I thought that my be Langdon too, but I've never seen any of his films. I just checked my DVD of The Circus (another film I've never watched), and it definitely has the mirror scene. Thanks.

11. Harry Langdon standing up in car - Saturday Afternoon (Langdon short)
12. Man walking with little boy - Don Juan (prologue)
61. Laurel and Hardy - Big Business (final scene)
69. Man standing on table as swords are raised - Long Fliv the King (Charley Chase short)
74. Man swinging toward waterfall - Our Hospitality
77. Woman chained to train track - Teddy at the Throttle (Gloria Swanson short)

Thanks Jonathan! I managed to find clips of all the shorts you mentioned on YouTube to confirm, except for the Charley Chase one. I tried doing a Google search for Charley Chase Love Fliv the King, but there's apparently a (female) porn star using the name Charley Chase, so that got me no where! Since you were right about the rest, I'm taking your word for it.

So I tried doing captures and searching for image. Here's what I came up with so far:

7 - Ben-hur (proof)
10 - It's not Anna Bolena (no similar dresses here)
17 - Flesh and the Devil (proof - search for "flesh" and you'll find this picture in the post about this film)
46 - Not sure of the film, but there is gif of it here
50 - It (2 minutes into this clip)
56 - Not sure of the film, but once again the image is online here

Thanks a lot! I also see from those captures of Flesh and the Devil that clip 79 (man closing book) also came from that film.

Thanks for clearing that one up!

Here's one that I'm hoping someone on the Forum can identify...

Back in the early 1980s, there was a cable channel called TeleFrance USA and one night I came across a movie on there that has stayed with me for years. I recall only three scenes:

1. A man and a woman are on a beach consisting of stones rather than sand. At one point, the woman gets up angrily and says something along the lines of, "I'm sick of this beach and I'm sick of these stones," and then runs off.
2. Someone encounters a man in a wet suit and helps him undress. The scene consists of a series of jump cuts as the man struggles to remove the wet suit.
3. A woman is sitting at an outdoor bar, wearing a man's shirt over her bathing suit. Someone plays a song on the jukebox and the woman gets up and begins to dance.

By the way, the film was in black and white and probably from the early-to-mid 1960s.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Movie is from the 1980s. Through some set of circumstances our protagonist (an adult male) is living with his mother. And there's a scene where he is at his office talking to a co-worker, and they have (roughly) this conversation:

**

Protagonist: "Yeah, for breakfast, I had eggs, bacon, toast, ham, steak, waffles, orange juice, grapefruit, pancakes and coffee."

Co-worker: "Wow, that's a lot of food."

Protagonist: "Yeah. My Mom always says breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

**

The protagonist is a real sad-sack, and delivers the line very resignedly.

...I have very fond memories of watching this movie with my parents when I was a kid, yet can't for the life of me remember what it is! Thanks!

Might this be Where's Poppa? I haven't seen it recently enough to know whether the dialogue is right, but it stars George Segal as a thirtysomething sad sack who shares an apartment with his meddlesome, senile mother (Ruth Gordon). It was made earlier than the '80s, though (1970, if memory serves).

I'm searching a film I saw on a psychology course more than two decades ago. It was an Eastern European documentary film (most likely Polish, Hungarian, or Czech) based on Kurt Lewin's ideas of autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire leadership.

It was black and white, probably from the 60's (possibly early 70s). There were three classrooms with (3rd grade?) children, and I think the kids were painting Easter eggs. Each class had the same teacher, but he would take a different role in each class.

The film left a huge impression on me, like Family Life which we saw during the same course. A harrowing experience. I've searched without luck for some time now.

This thing?

Yes, that's the one. Although I definitely saw a subbed version with Hungarian audio. There's a part 2 as well (by same uploader). Thanks!

Which Chaplin short or long film he is with a woman dressed like a man, with a cap? Jeanne Moreau's cap and look in Jules et Jim is very similar.

And, I need the name of a Disney 30's cartoon. It's about Neptune and a war between Islands, they fight with music notes.

That'd be Edna Purviance in Behind the Screen.

The neptune one is actually called King Neptune. Here's the whole thing.

Thank's both.

But the musical war between islands with a Princess or a King is not on that amazing Neptune Disney short: totally pre-code with top less Mermaids and horny sailors.
In 1994 I saw both shorts before Snow white in cinemas (I went 3 times in a week).

Which one is still missing: the army from an Island uses musical instruments for fighting and the musical signs are the bullets. May be from a trombone they make a canon. May be then Princess was like Shirley Temple ?

Thank's.

Jesus: Disney invented "Stalin rockets" before the Soviets in WWII !!!

I have one:

In film school I saw this (possibly short) French film from the 60s (my best guess) and in b/w. It was about 2 girls who lived together. It was cut in a really fascinating way - they would say something like-

"Lets make dinner" and then it would cut to dinner being made already with them eating it...
or
"Lets go to sleep" and then cut to them sleeping and then waking up.

It just jumped around like that in parts. I thought it was Bridgette and Bridgette - but it's not. Any ideas?

Could it be this Akerman short?
