Registered 17 years agoI actually looked up enemy mine on wikipedia last Wednesday as I didn't know the film behind EG's running joke. Then on Thursday I'm staying over at a friends and looking through their pile of DVDs, there's Enemy mine. Didn't get around to watching it but the synopsis didn't make it sound all that great anyway.
True story! -

Registered 17 years agoNow this is a long shot but here goes.
Black and white film set in 1950-60's london? Lady moves into a flat for the summer or something.
Very sceney, film very rarely leaves that one flat, I think she slowly goes mad.
Very pretty actress.
That's all I've got I'm afraid! - shit I know -

Registered 18 years agoSingle room? The only thing that springs to mind is Hitchcock's 'Rope', but that's set in the USA. -
Gaslight and Dial M for Murder both have the "going mad" theme.
Wait Until Dark takes place mostly in one flat. Audrey Hepburn is blind in that one though. Not mad..gif)

Registered 15 years agoDennis Quaid's not in Eraserhead. Louis Gossett Jr is though - he's the baby. David Lynch cast him after seeing the incredible make up job he underwent in that other film he was in... Iron Eagle.

Registered 17 years ago@UncleLou Wait Until Dark seems really close but it's definitely a black and white film.
You're definitely on the right track though, it all takes place in one flat, not single room.
It starts on the busy streets of London before resigning itself for the rest of the film to that one flat (I think)
This is so frustrating!

Help please!
Late seventies or early eighties, shown at the cinema as either a trailer or possibly "short film" before the main feature.
A knight in medieval armour is either chasing or being chased in a forest.
His armour, possibly the helmet, is magic and speaks with a female voice.
He falls into water and will drown, due to the weight of his armour.
The voice urges, "take me off," in an attempt to save him.
It's been bugging me since childhood, this one!
Thanks in advance

Registered 12 years agoI have one. Whatever it is, I've only seen a very short part of when I was a kid. I can remember one chap being rather displeased with another chap, grasping him by the wrist and then boiling the flesh off the back of his hand, seemingly with the power of his mind.
Was it Enemy Mine? -

Registered 12 years agoI don't know, when I think of the scene Dune comes to mind, but I'm sure it's not Dune...
But then I saw it probably over 20 years ago, so I could be remembering it completely wrong. Or have made it up entirely. -

Registered 20 years agoHmm, doesn't seem to be Scanners. That has people being set on fire via the power of the mind, but not the scene you describe it seems. Might be in one of the sequels, but I can't bring myself to watch either of those.
Dune has the hand in a box scene, but again that's not what you describe.
I reckon it's almost certainly a Rick Baker effect, but as he did most of the Sfx work in America in the '80s that doesn't narrow things down much. -

Arr, that there will be 'Legend of the Enemy Mine'
Interestingly, it seems that many people who Google our old friend EM also search for Dreamscape which was a film I only identified last year after over twenty years of wondering.
In my search for my "knight drowning" film, I also remembered that I wanted to identify a trailer or Public Information Film that featured a house with a mantrap.
From my childhood memory, I believed it to have been a stern warning not to leave such a device armed in your home when you went on holiday, but it seems to have been an even sterner warning about using rugs on polished floors
Anyway, back to my film: knight, drowning, armour. Come on EG, you can do it. -
