I don't remember that scene at all. I might M2D it on Vudu and try my luck.

Edit: Pretty sure it's Wishmaster 2 I am thinking of!

I been trying to figure out this one movie. I know i hav it but can't think of the name..

It is a alien abduction movie. The main character husband went missing and the wife is looking for him. One of her female friends help her put clues together. I think a detective got involved to help out. But the twist is the friend knew about aliens taken Ppl. But Ppl are taken to this big warehouse where the aliens will jus take Ppl when they either outside or inside warehouse. They would jus be pulled up in the air. No alien or ship is shown. Their are about 3 or 4 famous Ppl in it. Jus can't think of any names.

Strange Invaders 1983? Some of the details are different, husband is looking for his wife, but some of it fits

The aspect of people being just pulled up into the air makes me think of The Forgotten but none of the other details really fit.

I hope someone can help me figure out the title to this movie, I watched on Cinemax back in the 90's and the only parts I remember are listed below:

*The main character plays kind of a has been actor and no one likes him because he thinks he's great and treats everyone like crap. The only thing he truly loves is his dog (a golden retriever I think)

*The dog dies and he spirals into depression and he ends up dying somehow and goes to heaven and while he is being judged his dog comes forward on his behalf to prove he can show love and he is given a second chance and is sent back to earth

*I remember at one point he get a job as a Celebrity "Look alike" pretending to be himself to make money.

I know this isn't a lot to go on but I hope it's enough.

Thank you for any help!

Maybe QUIGLEY (2003). I haven’t seen this movie, but the main character played by Gary Busey, from what I’ve read, plays a character that no one likes, dies, and is sent to Earth for a second chance as a dog (it’s funny how many movies use this plot).

Fun movie but that's not the one I am looking for, Thanks for trying.

I remember that there is a man and a woman in the middle of the desert with their motorcycle surrounded by a motorcycle gang. The leader of the motorcycle gang takes a knife and cuts the fuel line of the couple’s motorcycle draining all of the gasoline onto the desert sand. The motorcycle gang then all mount their motorcycles and leave in unison leaving the man and woman and the motorcycle with the empty fuel tank in the middle of the desert presumably to die. Any ideas? Thanks.

Although the final scene of the Hell's Angels '69 (1969) print that I watched shows a man and a woman both riding individual motorcycles and the gang member rips out the fuel line from the man's motorcycle by hand and dumps the man's canteen full of water into the sand (it doesn't appear that the woman's motorcycle is affected in any way, so they could both ride away on her motorcycle, which doesn't make sense unless the print I saw is missing scenes), I'm pretty sure that this is the movie. I glad I found out which movie it was (unfortunately, not yet on blu-ray), because it has been bugging me for years.

Yes, it is The Forgotten. But i was wrong about her husband it was the son she never had. I knew it was something like that. I really got that all twisted up, lol. But i could have sworn it was on Blu. But i have it on DVD. Now i gotta dig it out and watch it

Thanx Guys.....

There's this old black and white movie, but I cannot remember the title or who stars in it. This rich girl marries a poor farmer, but she doesn't know him. She doesn't even want to be in the same room as him. He comes close to losing his farm. He's waiting to plant this really expensive seed. The woman helps a neighbor with a baby. That's about all I can remember.

Sounds a lot like The Purchase Price with Barbara Stanwyck

Years agao, my father was watching what I think was a prison escape film. Much older, Black and White. At some point, I think at the end, two men were fighting and wrestling one another in the rain / mud and I can vividly see it now. I've just never been able to figure out what it was from.

That's all I got...any thoughts?

the defiant ones?

actor kinda looked like patrick swayze a bit. but the guy is peeing out of a van. they drive off and the door slams shut cutting it off. and have to go to the hospital. they were kidnapping someone or something like that.

another movie is prob. 80s or 90s. and these 2 people inherit a place in the mountains. and get harrased by all these mountain people wanting the land for construction or something.

another one im thinking is gator bait 2 or something. probably came out the same time as snake eater. but these moutain people kidnap this girl and keep her locked up in the moutains. im thinking its gator bait 2 but i cant remember very well
