Spanish movie about love

I am looking for a Spanish long-lasting, troubled love story. Probably the film is from 1980s-1990s.

Let me summarize my clues:

1. Lovers who meet intermittently.
2. A train scene where they meet and spend the night in a compartment.
3. Set in post-WWII, continuing into Franco’s Spain.

4. The man is successful under Franco’s regime, and the woman is beautiful.

5. A scene where she makes a dress from a curtain.

a young woman communicates with her dead father through video recordings of himself he left her before he died

I believe the movie is from the 80s/90s. The movie revolves around a young, redhead lady whose father left her video recordings of himself, since he had known he is about to pass away. He apparently created kind of an AI software which recognizes spoken communications of his daughter. So, she communicates with her dead father by talking to a screen, and her father answers her from the screen with the right video recording of himself. The videos include personal messages as well as practical instructions for her day to day life. I remember specifically that the daughter is saying to the screen “I miss you”, and there comes a recording of her father comforting her.

I don’t remember anything else about the film unfortunately, other than some vague notion that the woman might have been in danger, maybe somebody wanted to kill her.

That’s all, thanks for your help in advance.

Comedy of absurd

Hi) Actually, i have been trying to find this movie for a long time. Its an Absurd Comedy. The plot is like this – two jerks want to become discoverers. They gather people and go on expedition. As far as i remember there were indians there and there even was a scene when they met the local tribe and mistooke the local retarded dude for their leader. There was also a scene of getting eagle eggs – when one of to m.heroes climbs a tree. Plus they had an indian girl in their group (she was freed from the slavery) and she had an affair with the second hero. When he is sick, he says in delirium:”Mother, i saw a nacked indian woman”: ))

Will be grateful for your help


2 girls fight over the affection of hot teacher

I’ve never actually seen this movie but I’ve seen clips on tik tok. From my understanding it seems to be 2 girls fighting for young male teachers attention, one edgier and one quiet and goody two shoes. The teacher is putting on the play the crucible and it seems maybe the quiet girl sort of takes on the roll of abigail williams, both in the play and in the narrative of the movie. The quiet girl maybe seems to be a little unhinged, maybe the protagonist? Would be a fairly recent movie, id guess 2012-present, though I mostly saw clipse of it on tik tok in 2020-2022.

“Who will be de one?”

TV show in the 80s (probably, maybe late 70s) in a sort of Fantasy Island style. Different people or couples who compete for or get a wish or prize or something. I think set in the tropics, and I think the title could’ve been “_ Paradise” where the blank was the location. What I specifically remember is that at the beginning of each episode a guy with a Jamaican accent sings “Who will be de one?” in the ascending 4th-8th notes of a major scale. Been not quite at the tip of my memory-tongue for days! Thank you, anyone of a certain age with a better memory.

A guy and a girl save the vineyard from frost

A young woman inherits a vineyard, but a company wants to bankrupt her. A young man comes to stay with her; he’s a bit strange (possibly autistic). There’s a scene where, the morning after his arrival, the woman enters the living room and finds that he has neatly arranged all the items in their places.

I also remember a scene where they save the vineyard from frost together by placing barrels in the field and lighting fires in them to prevent the grapes from freezing.

At the end of the plot, the guy hacks into a bank and transfers funds to save the vineyard from bankruptcy.

I watched the movie about 10 years ago; it might be French.

Chinese Sci-Fi/Period Piece

This was a movie I watched on Hulu around 2016 that I believe was part of the Criterion Collection, but searching through their database yields nothing. To the best of my memory, it was a period piece about a little girl with mysterious origins and some kind of special powers that made her not fit in, being raised in a rural Chinese village. I believe she had loving parents who may or may not have believed she was their real daughter. Other kids saw her as some kind of freak. One of the images from the film I remember most strongly was her showing up bullies by staring at them with piercing blue eyes and intimidating them with her vibes or something. At the end, a flying saucer with lots of glowing lights shows up at night. I remember the movie being very slow and unrewarding. I wanna say it was from the early 80’s, but for all I know it could be earlier.

Cybersex, trying again

I tried this over a year ago. Let’s see if anyone can remember this.
ChatGPT just keeps giving me episodes of Outer Limits that don’t exist.

I’m looking for a movie (possibly TV show) that came out in the late 80’s or early 90’s. I saw it on late night TV.
There was this guy in a cyberpunk world. He went into a secret club to rent a cybersex booth. The receptionist asked him for the size of the hardware he needed and he said “large”. She laughed and said “OK that means medium.”
He went into the booth and the VR program kept glitching and going wrong.
At the end he walked out and said something like “She treated me no worse than real women I’ve met.”

Early 90s indie film

I’m looking for the title of a film I would have seen in the first half of the 90s, or possibly as late as 1996, that was a kind of comedy where the male protagonist was trying to sleep with one of three sisters but is thrown off his game by the behaviour of the sisters and their relationship with their grandmother.  There is a trip to a country house and at one point a shot of a mural of “The Three Graces” although that is not the name of the film. It’s also not “Three Sisters” or “Hannah and her Sisters”.

1940s WWII Movie About a French Soldier During the Fall of France

This is a Hollywood (English language) movie from the 1940s, but it may have a French director and partially French cast in America for the war. It is about a French soldier during and immediately after the Fall of France (1941); he may have been a tank driver. At the start of the movie all he can think about is deserting the cause of France but the patriotism and death of those around him eventually changes his mind.

Near the start he is picked up by a truck carrying French soldiers from all over the front, but after being strafed the majority are killed.

He successfully winds up in a ship and I believe the end of the movie sees him joining the Free French.

80s or 90s European film: a woman chef makes amazing multi-course dinner for humble neighbors?

I think it’s a European film, not in English.  Color, some time around 80s or early 90s.  The scene I remember:  dark interior shots of maybe a country cottage; she’s back and forth between cooking in the old kitchen and serving in the dining room.  The people at the table are older, and they’re humble people totally unaccustomed to great food/fine dining.  Every course is blowing them away, but they’re reserved people, so they’re not showing it much except in these cute glances they share among each other.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

70s or 80s, mirror starts bending, then shatters, killing someone

Hi, I saw this on TV in the 70s (or maybe 1980-81).  I think it was a TV show, not a movie on TV, but I’m not sure.  Horror genre, I suppose, since I think something supernatural was at work in the scene I remember:  someone’s looking in a tall mirror on the wall.  The mirror starts warping / bending / buckling, and then suddenly shatters, sending a shard into the chest of the person.  Anyone remember?  This site is amazing, btw!

Sci-fi/action/horror movie about anti-aging serum and a Nazi submersible research vessel in the Arctic

Hello! Trying to find an odd movie I watched quite a while ago, most likely released from late-90s to mid 2000s. The cinematography, stunts, and effects were pretty good. Acting was passable for this type of feature.

The story was about a man who had developed a serum to quickly make his body 20+ years younger, and had three combat-skilled daughters (?) working with him to search for ways to make the serum permanent. A submersible (?) ship appeared in the Arctic rising out of the ice, which turned out to be some kind of weird Nazi (?) research facility. The man sends one of his daughters to check out the vessel, and she disappears. The remaining two daughters take it upon themselves to follow up where the first daughter failed. In the end, the vessel’s origin or whereabouts remained unknown.

Sorry for the sketchy details. I do not recall any of the actors being notable stars. I searched through several AI-based movie search websites and dozens of story/character-related movies but could not re-discover this particular one. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Vintage movie with remote control to make people have sex

I am trying to find a movie where it starts with 2 girl on a limousine with a dude. They get attracted to the dude for a remote control toy which makes one have sex with another. The movie contained sex scenes in plane, a prison etc. There was a scene where a statue becomes human too and have sex. The whole story revolved around the remote control which makes people horny.

I saw the movie back in 2003/4.

American/Russian Spy Scene

I remember a scene from a 70s or early 80s TV show or movie, in English, in color, live action.

the scene has an American (military?) guy who’s a Russian spy with a female handler. The dude seems a reluctant spy and has had his eye altered – possibly to mimic someone else’s retina – and the handler has some kind of loving-but-controlling influence over him. Maybe the eye is bandaged, but she gets angry when she catches him smoking because it could damage the altered eye.

could be from Mission Impossible, a James Bond film or even an episode of Six Million Dollar Man, but that’s the right era. I don’t think the spy or his handler were the main characters or the star of the show/film.

should be easy for someone on here because I don’t think it’s obscure; I just can’t remember the source myself!

70’s movies where in opening credits a guard knocks a hobo off and under the train

I remember my dad taking us to a drive in movie back in the 1970’s, maybe early 1970’s, where in the opening of the film a guard (?) on an old steam locomotive knocks a hobo hitching a ride down off the train and under it in between 2 cars. It was probably a famous film, but I don’t remember any of the actors, or really anything else about the film, only that as a child the whole opening scene was really disturbing to me.
