Tessa the Duchess Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Does anybody know of an online site where you can go and type in the plot of a film and it will give you the title? I belong to an online DVD rental thingy and am always looking for suggestions of films to order, a friend remembers the plot but not the title, says it's a really good film. Thanks Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 You could always try using yahoo with a search phrase along the lines of "romantic comedy staring......" Thats how I usually end up searching for films when im not sure the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks Karl and Andy, I had actually thought of googling a search, the trouble is she doesn't remember any of the stars, and I suspect it is an independant film without famous actors in it.

Guest Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 You could always run the plot by us here on the forum - you may well get the answer you're looking for that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 You could try asking me - I am pretty good on movies *head swells to alarming proportions* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks for your recommending the film site Fred, great place, not helpful to me though Okay Sarah and anybody else who is a film buff...The film is made up of 4 short films, one takes place in New York, one in Los Angeles, one in Rome and the last one in Helsinki. Each film is set on the same day at the same time but in different time zones, and the stories sort of click together. The only real clue I can give you is that the film in Los Angeles is about a girl taxi driver who is offered a chance to be a film star but turns it down because she wants to be a mechanic. Does it ring a bell Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaR Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102536/ This it? 'Night on Earth' with Winona Ryder I'm resurrecting this old thread as I love movie recommendations and as such have had this title 'waiting to be sent' with my online Dvd supplier for over a year! A few days ago, in frustration of not being sent the latest released LOST Dvd's over the past couple of months (have cable, so no sky for an age) , I decided to cancel everything off my list to ensure they sent them to me...but no, they sent this film that I have been waiting over a year for I've watched it this evening and although it took a while to get into it (I thought the first 'chapter' with Miss Ryder was V poorly acted) it was quite entertaining in a quirky sort of way. I was interested to find out if Tessa the Duchess got hold off the film in the end? and what was thought of it. p.s...does anyone have the lost dvds that they are willing to hire out for a week...I'm on my knees.

Cinnamon Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 If you love movie recommendations & are on Facebook, then become 'friends' with a few of us via the Omleteers page & then link up with Flickster, which is an online movie resorce. I always review any movies I have seen on there, & I really enjoy seeing what others have seen too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Only just seen this No I never did get to see this film, sounds like we belong to the same online dvd rental club, I sometimes wonder if they actually do have all the films they offer for rental In fact I cancelled my subscription about 6 months ago because I just don't have the time to watch so many films as I used to. I'm glad you 'sort of' enjoyed it. I can recommend a film called 'BonBom' I think it's Argentinian, it's wonderful. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Tessa, sorry you never got to see this film in the end but thank you for the Bonbom recommendation, I have added it to my rental list and look forward to receiving it (maybe in another years time ) Cinnamon - I'll head over to facebook and try to be brave enough to add myself onto the Omleteer list I'm now going to pour myself a nice glass of vino and settle down to watch our 1st Lost series 3 dvd - they sent it in the end But then again, they had no choice as I made sure that was the only series left on my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
