I'm looking for a movie where a young man gets involved with a girl that all the other boys have had their way with. He eventually finds out they have a lot in common and he falls in love with her. Of course his other friends don't like the idea, go after the girl and accidentally (maybe) kills her. He retaliates by killing one of his friends by strking him in the head with a pool ball and taking flowers from a neighbors yard to put them on her grave after her funeral. I can't get this movie out of my head.

This has been driving me crazy for years and I have little to nothing to go on.
I remember a movie from the 70's that I saw during the summer late at night.
I believe it was a western - at least it was in the desert.
It was suspenseful and had a male/female characters that were running from people that has some type of mark behind their ear. I remember the mark was colorful.
The end was what shocked me as a small girl because the woman went to get a drink of water in a stream and the male lead saw that she had the mark behind her ear making her one of the "bad people".
PITIFUL little to go on, but it is driving me nuts. I don't know if it was a full length movie or part of the Twilight Zone or an Outer Limits type show.
I wouldn't post this but I'm desperate to settle this memory and hoping that someone just happens to know what I'm talking about.
Ugh. Thanks for your time! :)

Tales from the Crypt (1972)
IMDb review:
Five people wander off on a tour and come upon the crypt-keeper. Each tells his or her last memory. Each one confesses to doing something wrong. The cryptkeeper listens to each before telling the five what has happened to them and where they are. Easily this is one of the best Amicus horror anthologies {NOTE: Actually, it's a portmanteau film, a framework containing several stories}. ... All of the stories are pretty good, with three standing out. The first story about Christmas and a loose killer is well-done and shocking for its day, starring Joan Collins as the murderess. The best story stars Peter Cushing as a genial old man suffering desolation and humiliation from a heartless(no pun intended) neighbor. Cushing does a wonderful job here, and in a way it is a sad performance as it was made shortly after the death of his long-time wife Helen. The last story is almost as good about a group of blind residents who stop taking being treated poorly and give out punishment to a military man with razor-sharp justice. The frame story is also well-executed and Sir Ralph Richardson hams it up amicably as the keeper of the crypt.

For some reason, your description makes me think of this film:
Paroxismus (1969)
It's better known as "Venus in Furs" and stars James Darren, Barbara McNair, Klaus Kinski, and Maria Rohm.
IMDb synopsis:
In Istanbul, a jazz trumpeter pulls the murdered body of a young woman from the surf. He remembers her from the night before, when he saw her at a millionaire playboy's party and then later watched as she was assaulted by the party's host and two of his friends. In confusion, Jimmy, the musician, leaves for Rio where he finds the sympathetic ear of Rita, a singer who invites him to live with her and helps him recover his equilibrium and his musical ability. Then, into the room walks a woman who looks like Wanda, the murder victim. Jimmy pursues her, not caring if she's alive or dead. What's going on?
Of course, I could be waaaay off the mark. Does a woman at the party look as if she's considering becoming amorous with a statue, actually seducing someone in the process?
Just a thought...

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a TV movie. I don't know what it's title is. It is from the early to mid 70s. It is (technically) a Sci-Fi movie. Astronauts finally land on Mars. One astronaut is walking on Mars when he suddenly says he doesn't feel well. He then just starts fading away until he disappears. The ship and the remaining astronauts return to Earth. The Government doesn't tell anybody about the death of the astronaut. Instead they have an identical looking substitute replace him. The rest of the movie is about the substitute's efforts to not let anybody, including the astronauts' wife know that he is not really the astronaut. I remember I didn't really care about most of the movie but the opening sequence on Mars really interested me. Do you have any idea the name of this movie or where I can go to find it?
Thanks

After the opening stunt-filled action, a flashback of the crash victims' lives prior to and leading up to the accident. The closing replays the entire "smash up" from various angles and in slow motion, depicting much carnage and indifference to the victims. // I think it might be based on a real-life incident.
The cast includes Sian Barbara Allen, Robert Conrad, Buddy Ebsen and daughter Bonnie, Herb Edelman, Harriet Hilliard (Nelson), Tommy Lee Jones, Sue Lyon (the original Lolita!), Vera Miles, Donna Mills, Terry Moore and David Nelson (brother of Ricky Nelson, son of Ozzie & Harriet).

IMDB synopsis:
Comfortable New York suburbanites Arthur and Gerrie Mason (Eli Wallach and Julie Harris) discover one night that their seemingly perfect 16-year-old daughter, Maxie (Deborah Winters) has been tripping on LSD. Arthur, a smug, bullying braggart, immediately suspects his 17-year-old long-haired son, Artie (Stephen McHattie), of supplying the drug to his sister and kicks him out of the house. Whereupon confused Harris runs next door to seek advice from high school principal David Hoffman (Hal Holbrook), whose wife, Tina (Cloris Leachman) is an alcoholic and whose son, Sandy (Don Scardino), has his own problems. Very sensibly, he advises love and understanding on the part of the parents, which all but goes out the window when Maxie confesses she has been tripping for quite a while now, is also sexually active and is on The Pill. Meanwhile, she just keeps getting worse: She's found by her father high on cocaine and in bed with a biker. ... The Masons decide to throw a party that comes to a halt when one of the hired musicians is discovered smoking pot. Maxie then gets hold of more LSD, does a nude dance on her lawn and trips herself into a mental hospital.
This aired on TV once that I know of. For many years, I thought it was a very, very frank TV movie along the lines of "Go Ask Alice". Then, I learned that it was intended as a theatrical release, but I don't recall it being in any theaters around here.
It's possible that you aren't even looking for this anymore. But, just in case...

I've wracked my brain for years trying to remember the name of a movie I saw, I'm thinking late 70's possibly very early 80's, NON cartoon, had real people actors. As I recall it was aired on a saturday afternoon, possibly an abc movie. Came out near the time of Secret World Of Og as I recall, may have even been the same channel.
Anyway, it was about two kids, one was a spunky fairly wealthy girl who's dad was an archeologist I believe. The girl dressed up like an archeologis/detectiv e throughout most of the show. The kids somehow get a treasure map written by some old guy that used to live in their town. I don't remember much else except at the end they find the guy dead with his treasure. They end up under a huge tree in the yard and I believe there's construction equipment to demolish the house and they have to get out because they are underground under the huge tree and end up banging on these huge roots to get the attention of someone. I believe it is a chunky kid no one likes that finally hears them and the girl's dad digs them out.
If anyone can give me a title possibility I'd appreciate it.

One by land and two by air, in the span of 21 days after his funeral! Seven days time for each of them to meet their maker, and just as she predicted that's exactly what happens!

A female artist keeps seeing visions, drawing two arcs with serrated edges that look very much like an open handcuff. There is something about a group of men "partying" with a woman who might be a prostitute; they burn her with cigarettes and accidentally kill her. If I recall correctly, the leading lady at one time is lying on a bed that will turn out to be THE bed where it happened; she glances to her right(?) and, on the bedside table is a glass sculpture of a crab (maybe) of frosted crystal (maybe), and the claw looks like her drawing. I thought that Kier Dullea starred as the good guy who actually is a killer, but none of the films he's done match my memory. I even tried Michael Sarrazin and Nick Mancuso. For the artist: I think she's blode but can't be certain. I checked Helen Shaver, Jennifer Dale and other actresses who were popular in that period. It might not be Canadian, but I think it was during the same period as such films as "The Kirlian Killer". Three of us at Yahoo!Answers have been researching this for at least a month! And, we're good with films!

Around 1973?? A movie named Jeremiah? The theme was a western. It was a rock music movie. Instead of gun fights, they'd play their instruments at the challenge. The James Gang played out in the desert totally wireless. And a wicket cajun fiddle player, can't remember his name. Any idea were I can get this movie? It's a must see for a ALL rock music lovers.

not know he is being set up. When he meets this
hooker, he thinks she just likes him and he falls for her. In the meantime, she actually begins to have feelings for him, but the son later finds out she is a
hooker and was set up by the dad, and wants nothing to do with her. Of course, she tries to explain how it all started and then it changed over time. Meanwhile, the dad doesn't want the son to have anything to do with her....after all, she's a hooker and was hired for a one time deal and his son is too good for that.

Unfortunately, you have your facts/actors mixed up w/ regard to "The Warriors." James Remar is indeed in the movie, but he's not the "Warriors...com e out to Playeeee" guy. Remar played "Ajax", one of the Warriors. He's the one who gets arrested for trying to sexually assault the female cop in the park mid-way through the film. The "bad guy", Luther, was actually played by David Patrick Kelly, who always seems to play diminutive bad guys (and President Truman).

The neighborhood "simpleton" ; gets killed because the three jerks set him up on a fake blind date and when he arrives at the front door and wants to go on the date the scared old lady who answers the door shoot him. As you point out his mom curses them at the funeral and I know one gets hit by a car. The last scene showed the last boy skydiving with a voice over alluding to the fact that his parachute wouldn't open. It was part of a trilogy--one of the other parts was about a deep hole out by a farmer's house which has something horrible living in it. The family finds it because their dog disappears. Dad falls in and comes out of the hole freaking crazy and such. Why I remember this much of something I saw when I was probably ten is beyond me.

The second guy dies another seven days later, also in the air, and so on. I remember it being shot documentary style and that it may a been part of a trilogy (NOT Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black).

Not a great film by any means, but it had more going for it than has been noted here.
The story was as prescient about the slackening cultural norms evident in current TV "reality" programming as Firesign Theatre's 1983 "Nick Danger in the Case of the Missing Yolk" was about internet culture.
Here is some background from a Firesign Theatre chronology site:
"AMERICATHO N" (M) - Proctor and Bergman's original adaptation was directed by Neil Isreal, starring Harvey Korman, John Ritter, Nancy Morgan, Peter Riegert, Fred Willard, Zane Buzby, Richard Schaal, Elvis Costello, Chief Dan George, Tommy Lasorda, Jay Leno, Peter Marshall, Meat Loaf, Howard Hesseman, narrated by George Carlin, based on the Proctor and Bergman's stage show of the same name, and original screenplay about the government going broke in 1998 and having a telethon to raise money. Proctor and Bergman lost control of the project and walked, allowing other writers to take over, leaving very little of the original script, but retained some screen writing credits on the movie, photo-novel, and the subsequent soundtrack album. Color, 86 min.

I am looking for the title of a movie probably from the '70s. Basic storyline: country cousin visits sophisticated NYC relative. Introduced to marijuana and goes wild for the stuff. Memorable moment: Stoped at a red light in a van filled with pot, with the song "Marijuana" ; sung to the tune of Handel's "Halleluja Chorus" blaring from a tape deck when a cop pulls alongside. If you know the name of this film, please let me know the title.

Tickle-man, I appreciate the thought, but literally less than a week ago, I ordered Cotton Candy on E Bay for $14.99! Hopefully, it will be a good copy. I'm in the process of transfering all my old videos, especially ones like this that have never made it to DVD (and may never), to DVDR+. Also did the same with Nunzio recently.
Still looking for Almost Summer. Noticed E Bay is in the habit of selling odd stuff associated with the movie -- namely the soundtrack and posters -- but never the movie itself. Weird, too, in that there are a few big names (Brunk Kirby, Tim Matheson, Didi Cohn) that should merit this.

The best thing about this movie is when Mark Hammil's character rescues Annie Potts from a "pornographic short film" shoot. She looks great in a red and black wetsuit top.
But watch carefully when they get in the Corvette and drive off after this scene. You'll see in some shots she still has the wetsuit on, and in others, she's wearing a top that looks more like a Starfleet uniform.

It wasn't a continuation of Friday the 13th, but just a generic mad scientist/haunted house/horror movie spoof. My principal memory is of Jeffrey Tambor and his rival in some sort of climactic psychic battle that involved lots of growling and brow-knitting.
Also note that, though I've never seen it, there is actually a "Saturday the 14th Strikes Back".

Scroll down the list there, Brian -- you're about the fourth person to point out my Warriors error.

I'll tell you one that lived up to the cheesy/spooky hype of the time: Devil' Rain, starring Ernest Borgnine and John Travolta. Barbarino's face melted! I've since seen film clips of this scene and found myself laughing out loud -- it was spooky stuff for a kid at the time.

Hell, no. Actually, I haven't been looking for too many movies lately.

And, if not, with the future of downloadable movies just around the corner in terms of mass consumption, I'd be willing to bet a Napster-like selection of cult classics will be made available in time.
I could be wrong, but if the same thing that happened to music happens to movies in terms of these new developments, it means good tidings for cult movie fans.

ITS OLD BUT A STILL WATCH IT, I ALSO MANAGED TO GET THE LP SOUNDTRACK. THANKS FOR THE WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE.

Dude- You go on and on about James Remar being great and stealing the show with his "come out and play" chant. He was in it and he was good, but that wasn't his role. He was one of the Warriors and I believe he gets arrested by the female cop in Central Park (I haven't seen the movie in many yars, so I'm going off memory).

The chase takes place on the CHERRY CREEK DAM ROAD and Ritchie is shot by THE TOWER LOOP. The School is THE AURORA HILLS MIDDLE SCHOOL>

Jim, I think you're the third person to point out this regrettable error. And have you noticed that Ajax/the main bad guy in 48 Hours is now playing Annette "48 Hours" O'Toole's love interest in that USA Network show about the mother/daughter bounty hunter team. Just thought I'd point that out to help cover the fact that we made a mistake in the first place.

I`m pretty sure James Remar played one of the WARRIORS and not the antagonizer who blames the shooting on them. His character was "Ajax" and he gets busted in the park by an undercover cop posing as a helpless woman. David Patrick Kelley plays the leader of the "Rouges" and does the "Warriors come out and play" chant on the Coney Island beach befor the final scene.

Seymour Cassel as an aging surger?! Christ, I like to think I'd have remembered that, although I didn't know who he was at the time. This movie is ringing distant bells with me. For some reason this makes me think of that beach flick where Sam Eliot plays an aging Lifeguard. Was it called Lifeguard? I can't remember, but it had that California/70s beach vibe. Who knows -- may have even been the impetus for Baywatch.

Dennis Christopher stars as a nerdy kid from the midwest who moves to California, and discovers Marijuana, surfing, and Women. Seymour Cassell is cast as an aging surfer, Tanya Roberts is a cheated on surf bunny, and Glynnis O'Connor, (From Ode to Billy Joe fame, and a 70's cult star in her own right), plays Dennis Christopher's love obsession. It's not a good movie, but has enough subplots and 70's paraphenelia to warrent cult status, me thinks.
I don't remember Dennis Christopher as a full out vampire, but I do remember him in "Fade to Black" where he was a movie studio assistant killing people dressed as famous film characters, and one of the characters was Dracula.

I don't wanna be a smart ass, but... I think you're thinking of "The Devil's Rain" as far as John Travolta's face melting. Race With The Devil stars Peter Fonda, and Warren Oates as Winnebago vacationers who stumble upon a coven of witches and have to flee for their lives. Oh yeah Loretta Switt is in it too, it's actually pretty entertaining.
California Dreaming starred Dennis Christopher, and a young Tanya Roberts, pretty bad but noteworthy, will work on those capsule reviews

Moonshine County Express? You stumped me there. You also stumped me on California Dreaming (this sounds vaguely familiar), Beach Girls and Mad Aventures of Rabbi Jacobs. Please email in capsule reviews, including any mentions of 70s stars shaming themselves in these projects.
Now, race with the Devil, I do remember -- Travolta with his face melting! And the ever-bubbly Ernest Borgnine. What an awful movie! And believe it or not, another Leisure Suit reader has already bartered with me for a grainy copy of Stardust -- my copy is pretty bad, too. But a great flick -- wish they'd re-release it.
Good luck with the proposed Van Halen reunion. Rock on, David!

Herr No, I'm not suprised that Over the Edge would have relevance with a 90's audience. The losers portrayed in this flick now seem like par for the course and part of the scenery, rather than the shocking anomaly (and societal failure) the makers of the movie were portraying them to be. I don't know -- Over the Edge seems pretty innocent to me, despite the cruddy, sick message it sends. Many more worse messages have been sent all throughout the 90's. Who would have thought Matt Dillon would be the epicenter of all this?

Sally Can't Dance, I'm pretty sure WKRP was direct offshoot of FM. They're not EXACTLY the same, i.e., same character names. Except for one -- Venus Flytrap, the black DJ. Martin Mull plays the Dr. Johnny Fever-tpe character. WKRP's Andy, the station director, is the exact same style character as the program director in FM.
But that's it -- still, it's clear that much like The Jeffersons was an offshoot of All in the Family, WKRP, while different in many ways, was a direct result of the movie FM, and TV's desire to cash in on it. This happened with a lot of movies in the 70's. There was a TV show called Makin' It, starring David Naughton (I think -- of American Werewolf in London fame) as an aspiring disco dancer -- like Travolta (he also sang the hit theme show song). After Bad News Bears, there were a few short-lived little league series.
Breaking Away itself was spun off into a TV series -- starring teen heart throb Shaun Cassidy -- a good series, too, but it didn't last. The 70's are a bottomless pit of these kind of cultural references. Hope that answers your question, Sally -- and don't take no street hassle.

Charles Aaron mentions Over The Edge in his article on Rage Against The Machine in this month's Spin. I quote:
In the 1979 Film Over The Edge, Matt Dillon and a scruffy crew of teen outcasts rage against a sterile planned community by ignoring its curfews, smoking pot, shooting guns, and pumping Cheap Trick. When city founders close their only refuge---a trashy, neglected rec center--suburbadn utopia explodes into a fiery pep rally.
Aaron then writes about the RATM childhoods. . . .
