    Could the first one be Cure (kyua).. 1997? Or what sort of decade are you thinking?

    In terms of the second one, there is a scene like that at the of Decision to Leave but again the decade might help

    Ok lll give this ago. I can remember a brief clip of a film many many moons again. It was around 1982/3. It was a group of boys and one was wearing an old American GI army helmet with white t-shirt and he gets hurt or maybe upset. It’s set in America I think in somewhere like texas or one of those ‘small towns in America midwest’. Scant details… but it’s a clip in the memory muscle that’s been driving me **** nuts for years. I used to think that it was ‘buffalo’ something but I was wrong as I can’t find any reference to it.

    Thanks I know all of that is as obscure as anything.

    It's not Red Dawn is it? Probably unlikely because there are so many more memorable moments in that movie. But I'm just throwing it out there because it has a bunch of teenage lads in Colorado using Guerilla tactics to defend their town.. 1984ish.. so it ticks a few boxes

    No not Red Dawn… great movie though! I’d say the movie thats in my head was made in the 70’s or something… it’s had to be on either Rte 1 / 2 or BBC as we had **** all channels. I wonder is it possible to look at old tv listings from those years?

    FIlm that I saw on RTE in the 80s. Set in somewhere like the Oaklahoma dustbowl in the 1930s, I'd say made in the 70s/80s.

    Young boy whos being bullied befriends this other lad in his class whos a bit of a loner, social outcast. This other boy looks older than the rest of the kids in the class. He has blond floppy hair and wears dungarees and no shoes.

    A couple of scenes that stick in my head. One where the bullied lad is made by a teacher to stand in front of the class holding up his arms till he collapses from exhaustion. The lad in dungarees tries to help him but the teacher orders him to get back in his seat.

    The two boys are out walking and they meet this eccentric tramp with a long beard whos going on about Jesus.

    A disturbing scene where a bunch of children set a dog on an animal like a gopher. One of the boys finally kills it by dropping a rock in it. The boy in dungarees comes upon the scene and beats up this boy.

    The tormenting and killing of the gopher didn't look faked to me, you could see the dog shaking it in its mouth and the gopher trying to escape.
