Obviously, if you can remember actors, events, genre etc include that. DON'T tell us how old you were when you saw it. DON'T tell us where you were when you saw it.
DON'T tell us you were with your grandmother when you saw it. DON'T tell us when you think you saw it.
DO tell us (roughly) what year you think the film was released. DO tell us what era you think the story was set. DO tell us where you think the story was set. The long standing contributors to this thread like a challenge (within reason) and consider your questions to be a challenge, so the more information the merrier.

I really need help remembering this movie. It is stuck in my head and driving me crazy. If anyone can help I would be so grateful. I can remember almost the entire movie, I just can't recall what it's called, and I can't find it anywhere online. Here it is: It starts out with a young girl (I cannot for the life of me remember this girl's name) appearing and talking to the floating head of her master, as he describes her assignment for the competition between her and two other girls for the chance to become a master witch.
Her assignment is a guy named Richard. They watch as Richard and his wife (I think her name may be Kristin or something similar to that) are getting ready for a dinner with his boss. She observes that Richard's wife is mean spirited. The girl's master tells her that if she fails in her assignment then Richard will eventually lose his job, his self- respect, his wife and his home. She requests that he let her take Guss the ghost with her and he consents. So the guy who pretends to be a social services worker or lawyer appears on the couple's doorstep a few seconds later and tells Richard that his long lost brother and sister- in- law recently passed away in an accident and left him something in his will. Excitedly Richard's wife asked how much they were getting and the man holds out his hand to shoulder height and says "Oh, about this much." Richard's wife asks when can they receive it and the man points behind them and says "She's already here." Richard's wife adamantly insists that the girl cannot stay there and says they need to leave.
The guy talks them into letting her stay for the week until social services can find somewhere for her to go. After he leaves Richard helps her get settled in and calls a babysitter. Once the babysitter arrives they head for the dinner.
The scene cuts to the neighbors' house across the street where the lady is spying and her husband is trying to ignore her. While the girl and the babysitter are playing a game, the nosy neighbor lady knocks on the door to try and satisfy her curiosity. When they shut the door in her face she decides to find out more by climbing a latter and spying on the girl's room.
The girl comes into the room right after she gets in place and summons Guss the Ghost from a duffel bag and sends him on a mission, which turns out to be to frighten Richard's wife while at the restaurant. They return home with her in jumpy hysterics. Richard's wife works with his supposed friend, Gary (I may be wrong on his name but I think that was his name.) to frame Richard for corporate theft right when he was supposed to be on the verge of a major business deal promotion. Richard's wife regrets her part in what happened, and slaps Gary when he makes a move on her. Then when Gary is on the verge of closing the same deal the following day the girl and the babysitter – who knows that she is a witch – go to his office and cause him to appear to have a breakdown in front of the clients, which in turn causes him to confess that he was the one doing the stealing and that he had framed Richard so he could take his job.
In the end, Richard got his job back, got the promotion and landed the business deal with those clients. The nosy neighbor lady was sent to a psychiatrist by her husband.
When the time came for her to leave she started to leave, but Richard pushed past his – still mean spirited – wife, ran out the door, and told the man still pretending to be either a lawyer or social worker that they wouldn't be needing his services.
The Devil's Own Movie Review & Film Summary (1. Ah, but that's just where he's wrong. The Devil's Own'' is an American story, to such a degree that American audiences will be able to watch this movie in total ignorance of the history of Northern Ireland, and be none the wiser at the end. Imagine this: One of the key characters is an Irish Republican Army leader who has killed more than 2. America to buy guided missiles- -and at no point in the movie, to the best of my recollection, are the words "Catholic'' or "Protestant'' ever uttered, even though sectarian conflict is at the heart of the Troubles.
Advertisement. This is history lite. In the opening scenes, an 8- year- old boy is having dinner with his family when masked men burst into their cottage and shoot his father dead. Flash forward 2. 0 years, and now Francis Mc. Guire (Brad Pitt) has been cornered in a Belfast hideout. There's a shootout with police and British troops, and then he escapes out the back way (with hundreds of men- -the British somehow didn't think of the rear door). Watch Battlefield Earth: A Saga Of The Year 3000 Online Hulu.
We know the father was shot by either British troops or Protestant militants (the movie doesn't bother to say), and we gather Mc. Guire is in the IRA.
But the issues involved between the two sides are never mentioned, even obliquely; for all we learn, he's avenging his father's death and that's it. Soon he's in America, where an Irish- American judge gets him a place to live, in the basement of an honest cop named Tom O'Meara (Harrison Ford). O'Meara knows nothing about the past of the man, now calling himself Rory Devaney.
He's just being a good Samaritan. Ask yourself this: How many cops, knowing what they know about the dangers of modern society, would allow a complete stranger with no job to live under the same roof with the cop's wife and daughters? Bob Roberts Online Putlocker on this page. But don't ask. O'Meara is simply being a nice guy.
Soon we learn that Devaney has lots of money for buying guided missiles from a creep named Billy Burke (Treat Williams). And we learn that O'Meara is a very good cop, honest and unswerving. There are several scenes in which we see him avoiding the use of force and condemning cops who shoot first and ask questions later. When his partner (Ruben Blades) does just that, it forces a crisis of conscience- -but it doesn't pay off, it simply sets up the cop's determination, later in the film, to bring in Devaney alive. Both Pitt and Ford have criticized this film because, they say, it started shooting without a completed screenplay. I can believe that. Consider that Pitt, while nominally the villain, is seen in an attractive light, while a British intelligence operative is seen as a sleazeball, and yet Ford, fearing the sleazeball wants to kill Pitt, dedicates himself to bringing him in alive- -so he can be brought to trial by the sleazeball for crimes the IRA, of course, considers to be justified acts of war.
The moral reasoning in the film is so confusing that only by completely sidestepping it can the plot work at all. Advertisement. And sidestep it does. Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt are enormously appealing and gifted actors, and to the degree that the movie works, it's because of them.
Using all the gifts of the actor's craft, they're able to sell scenes that don't make sense and don't add up. Even in a final confrontation, they're so convincing that only later do we ask ourselves, hey, did Devaney really plan to sail across the North Atlantic Ocean in a leaky old tugboat? The Devil's Own'' (what does the title mean?) plays better if you don't give it a single thought, and just let the knee- jerk cues dictate your emotions. Handsome guy's father is killed, so he fights back.
Nice- guy cop likes Irish kid, but gets frosted when bad guys (British? Irish turncoats?) invade his home looking for kid. Cop wants to arrest kid, yet doesn't want to see him gunned down by British creeps. All criminals deserve their rights, cop believes; fine, except what opinion, if any, does cop have about terrorism or the presumed use of missiles against civilian targets? Cop never during entire movie expresses any opinion about struggle involving Britain, Northern Ireland and IRA.) I've got a notion for a quick rewrite: Leave out Ireland altogether, and make it a revenge picture. Or deal with Ireland intelligently, as "In The Name Of The Father," "Michael Collins" and "Cal'' have. Either way, the film should make it clear whether it considers the Brad Pitt character to be a hero or villain.
My best guess is, he's a villain given a moral touch- up because he's also a movie star. He may be a cold- blooded terrorist, but he's our cold- blooded terrorist, and, saints preserve us, isn't he a likable lad?
