    Was the Mom played by Dyan Cannon??? For some reason as I read your
    description I could see her standing there. Can't help with the 
    title.

I never saw it.... but wasn't there a movie out last year called "Gas, Food 
and Lodging"?  I think the plot sounds similar to what you have described 
here.

702.4Could it be "The Rapture" ?BABAGI::LYSETHKevin Lyseth 237-3318Wed Nov 23 1994 09:375
    
    	Sounds similar to the movie "The Rapture" which starred
    	Mimi Rogers.

    I don't recall the mother being that much of a free spirit in "Gas,
    Food, Lodging."
702.6Sorry...don't know.SWAM2::SMITH_MAWed Nov 23 1994 15:045
    Definitley not Gas--Lodging.  The free spirit in that one was Ione
    Skye's character.  I recomend you see that one though.  It's really a
    great low-budg picture.  But I digress.

    	I don't remember any specific scene like .0, but the Australian
    movie "High Tide" with Judy Davis has a relationship somewhat like .0
    describes..... It's a very enjoyable flick, in any event, Judy Davis is
    excellent. But I wouldn't describe her as centered in the movie, more
    tormented/running by/from her past, but definitely a free spirit...

702.10Almost AngelsDECSIM::HALLDaleThu Dec 22 1994 10:592
    It was made by Disney and serialized on The Wonderful World of Color
    (after a run in the theaters, I think).
702.11Scarlett Pimpernell ?COMICS::SHELLEYThu Apr 06 1995 13:067
    I'm trying to find the name of a movie starring Anthony Andrews as the
    Scarlett Pimpernell. I think it co-stars either Jane Seymour or 
    Leslie Ann-Down and at a guess was made between 1980 and 1985.
    
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Jon.
702.14COMICS::SHELLEYThats all I have to say about thatWed Dec 27 1995 06:279
    Another quick request.
    
    I saw the second half of a movie starring Andy Garcia playing twin
    brothers. It also starred Alan Arkin. It was about problems of land
    ownership between the brothers.
    
    What was this film called ? (Mainly so I don't accidently rent it)

702.15Steal Big, Steal LittleSCASS1::POGARWed Dec 27 1995 11:518
    The movie was Steal Big, Steal Little.
    
    I've seen it twice and enjoyed it much more the first time.  It was
    very entertaining; too bad it didn't make it in the theaters.  It
    wasn't even at the dollar theaters very long.
