    Movie about a man running(I believe across America).

    The man is an amputee. But people keep stopping and offering him a lift but he refuses all their offers.

    Remember small bits of the movie, was quiet young when I saw it...

    So if you can name it, it would be fantastic:D

    Seems it was Canada, not the US. The Terry Fox Story: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086427/

    Also a newer version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0467697/

    No...

    The amputee is the guy running...

    Think if he completes his run unaided he wins something?

    Please stop reposting that question - it's probable that no-one knows what the film is.

    I need help identifying a tv sci-fi action movie from 2000-2006, maybe filmed in France, but the language is probably English. It might have ninja aspects.

    I remember a scene where this woman (might be Japanese) gives birth in the forest; it was raining I think. within seconds The baby rapidly grew into an adult (maybe it was also cocooned) and he kills his mother (the host). There's another scene where this guy buys this game from a video game store, a game that maybe hasn't come out yet, and the video game somehow transmits a signal to a neck implant.

    That's all I recall. Oh, and the ending is that a kid is playing the video game (in the apartment) and the guy fights the monster (the baby from before, I think) on the roof and makes him do some martial arts moves and cuts off the monster's head I think. It was a nice ending.

    P.S.- i think there is another girl thats gonna be a "host" and the hero protects her....

    You keep asking but you never get a reply. Ever get the impression that nobody knows what you're talking about? Repeatedly asking the same question is getting tedious.

    Nah it wasnt that. Im sure it was some kind of alien robot thing in it

    Are you thinking of Repo Man from 1984? Starred Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton. I think it was some kind of alien in the boot of the car, maybe not quite what you said, but it may be in the general ball park!
    Either way it's a pretty wild movie:) Worth a watch.

    There is a documentary film that came out this year I think, that was made in the style of Koyaanisqatsi (1982), which was a non-narritive film comprising a collection of landscape and seascape shots. Meant to see it when it was in some Art house cinemas on a restricted release but missed it and can't remember the name of the film now. Can anyone think of the name of it?

    It's one I didn't manage to see either. Will have to get it on DVD some time. The trailer looked good.

    I am looking for a recent chinese movie (in the last 6-7 years) that thats about these 2 hidden cities.

    Both these cities have skilled assassins with special powers and both these cities hate each other.

    The emperor is afraid of these two cities and organizes a tournament where 5 fighters from each city will fight to death to find the winner.

    So as the best fighters fight among themselves, the king sends an army to find the city and destroy it.

    Can anyone help me pleae?

    I'm looking for a movie I think from the 80s (maybe early 90s)

    Its set in a jungle and rebels/terrorists are trying to capture people filming a movie. It then shows that it was just staged as part of the movie. Then 'real' rebels come and try capturing the cast that were filming in the first instance. It turns out that this is just staged too as part of the movie. Then just before the closing credits it shows another real group of rebels about to capture the actors.
