Old B&W War Time Movie

This movie, B&W, is set in 2nd world war in England and has to do with kids being moved out of London into a camp (which looks much like a prison camp). I saw it as a kid at school movies, so it had to be produced pre 1960.

Apart from vague memories of scenes to do with kids getting from London to the camp, the most memorable scene had to do with kids bullying a Jewish kid and I think they end up crucifying him.

War Time B@W

This B@W war time movie, produced pre 1960 I think, was set in a seaside resort in England. Can’t remember the actors, but I’m sure a couple were big names at the time. I think the plot had to do with spies or enemy agents attempting to demolish a pier somewhat like an older version of Brighton Pier; though why I can’t recall or imagine now. There were scenes of frogmen, maybe even subs under the pier. To be honest, I’m not really sure why this one ‘grabbed me’ enough to make me still wonder about, but something in it had an impact on me when I was a 10/11 yo.

movie about unkillable guy

The movie I need the title for is a colour movie, sorry but I can’t remember actors and can’t remember when it came out but not that old, within 20 years. The protagonist is basically a loner who somehow gets caught up in dealings with crims who want to kill him but can’t: in one scene they toss him off the top floor of a building but he falls through a manhole at street level and survives (he can be hurt, but not killed). Subplot has to do with a sick boy and his mother who the protagonist ends up caring for a lot (which I think puts them in danger re crims).
