The "What Film Is This?" Thread

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    The "What Film Is This?" Thread
    The Film forum is in desperate need of a 'what film is this?' thread, similar to the one in the Music forum.

    Basically, if you know everything about a film, except the title, then post here and hope that some very nice members can help you out! :p:

    Help me find this film
    A few months ago, I remember reading about a certain film on imdb, which at the time I thought sounded interesting. However, at this moment, I have no idea what it's called. The few details I remember, is that it's a government based film (I think), something to do with a somalian, and probably involves the CIA. I think it was released in 2009/2010.

    I'd appreciate it if someone could help!

    I immediately thought of The Interpreter.

    But it could be anything.

    What is the name of this film? I watched half of it and wanna watch the whole thing..
    Basically this guy gets a mexican fired then employs him to mow his lawn and his arm comes off in the lawnmower so he needs to get loads of money for the operation to get his arm back on.

    He pretends to be a retard and fix the special olympics in a betting scam by winning it but the real retards find out that he is a fake retard and that is as far as I got but I want to watch the rest of it!

    Does anybody know what is is?

    Thinking of a film..
    Hi all,

    In 2005, I watched a film late at night, and it was really good, I'd like to watch it again, but I cannot remember what it is called. Unfortunately, I can only remember two things about it:

    - there is a black guy, and at one point, he seems to have some form of bug crawling through his skin. I think he had a white vest top on.
    - at the end, there is some sort of dinner dance, where a man is dancing with his wife, and he gets shot. I think I remember this being planned? I recall him being the president maybe.

    I'm pretty sure the word 'american' was in the title.

    Does anyone know what film I am going on about?

    Thanks.

    What is this film!?- Boy, spaceship, little creature..
    I'm desperately trying to find the name of a film I sure as a child. Firstly, IT'S NOT E.T.!!!!!!
    It's quite old school, must be 80s maybe??

    All i can remember is a boy finding some sort of little alien creature. They become friends, and at one point theyre in a spaceship together flying over a town in the dark with loads of stars in the sky...

    Longshot, but anyone know what i'm talking about!? Lol
