    Ok, while we are on the topic of helping people remember movie titles, I got two for ya!.


    The first I believe is from the 50's, but maybe 40's or 60's. I thought it stared Cary Grant, but looked at his IMDB, and nothing seemed to ring a bell. In the movie a guy is murdered (on a train I think), and a band of thieves are trying to kill his widow. They believed the victom had some money they stole in the war (wwII?). The widow meets a stranger he appears to be protecting her, but he also appears to be involved with the thieves. She finally finds out that the money was used to buy a rare stamp and she decided to turn it over to the US treasury(?). Turns out the person she turns it over to is the stranger.


    The 2nd movie, I saw in Spain and I don't speak spainish so can't remember if it was subtitled or I just had to guess what they were saying. It was 1982 or 1983, and I think the movie was called Tiburon 3, which would be shark 3. I honestly thought I was watching Jaws 3 in spanish. But a few years later when I returned to US and saw Jaws 3 in english, I realized it was not the same movie. It did have some similarities to Jaws 3, the manner of the sharks death was about the same. There was a severed arm holding onto a grenade in sharks mouth that was pulled with a stick. There was even one scene were they were in someones house and there was a framed picture of Brody standing next to the tiger shark on the pier from Jaws 1. This really sold me on the idea it was a jaws sequel. The climatic scene had the shark chowing down on people during a wind surfing competition.

    I feel like we should almost have a specific thread for this. I had a movie scene stuck in my head one time and asked about it here as well.

    In fact, I have one now even.

    All I remember is that it was some sort of military movie that my dad was watching sometime in the 80s. I think it was the end of the movie where there was a soldier trying to get back to his camp or whatever but he had to crawl under a large field of barbed wire. Every few minutes a flare would light up the night sky and he'd have to stop crawling. Then he looked over and saw an enemy soldier also doing the same thing obliviously intending to attack the base. He couldn't stand up to warn anyway or else he would be shot but he couldn't crawl fast enough to get there before the enemy solider either.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Does anybody know if, the english spoken version of the 1990 IT miniseries, has the same voices in the bluray / dvd versions than the orignal miniseries / vhs?

    I know that this is not the case in french.
    But what about the original versions? (english language)

    Voices in English are the same. The thing that happens is that the voiceover in French (or any other language) has a license that expires and not all are renewed. That's why, for example, there's a chance that if you watch Raiders of the Lost Ark in French voices might have changed as well. The same happened with several of the Spanish voices on films.

    Thanks for that Ricky - a very enjoyable read which makes me want to read a few more Koontzs. I also love that bookcase full of Easton Press/Franklin Librarys (I can't be sure from that distance).
