**ANSWER FOUND** - Night of the Comet

Hi folks, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I'm new.

I remember seeing a film years and years ago and I'd like to know what the title was (even if I seem to remember it being crap). Can anybody enlighten me?

The plot was this: It's the end of the world, for reasons I can't remember. A bunch of people go to the cinema to escape the apocalypse by committing suicide en masse. They take their seats and the poison pills are distributed. It must be really slow-acting poison though, because there is time to show a series of short films in the cinema as the punters die. These short films form the bulk of the actual movie, with the mass-suicide cinemagoers story acting as a filler between them.

Does this ring any bells with anyone? It's been mildly annoying me for years so any pointers would be much appreciated!

I have no idea what this movie is, but PLEASE find out, because it sounds like something I'd love to see myself!

**ANSWER FOUND** - Generation X

I cannot remember the title of this film for the love of me I've tried.

It was an x-men style type film, it had an academy teachers and students, I can't remember how long ago it was but I was thinking about it the other day.

One student had the power to absorb, with no physical changes, but his body had the strength of whatever it was he absorbed. Another was female with super strength I think. One teacher had the sonic voice and that's all about I can remember.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you thinking of 'Sky High' with Kurt Russell?

[CUrraNT]

Def not sky high lol.

This film must be at least 10 years old, it's like a "mutant x" sort of thing, I've searched and still cannot find what I'm looking for... anyone else got any ideas?

I might be way off here but try 'Zoom' starring Tim Allen. It might be easier if you can remember who was in it.

'Zoom' does look like it sucks, although I've never even heard of it!

The film you're looking for is Generation X - a made for tv movie using fringe characters from the marvel x-universe;

Actually, it was a film from the X-Men universe. It is called Generation X and even though I love the comicbook, this is one of the worst films, I ever saw. Unfortunately not the good kind of bad film.

**ANSWER FOUND** - Erik the Viking

Ages and ages ago, I watched a film which was very weird. It was a comedy with Vikings who raped and pillaged and then one viking's victims came alive and made him see the error of his ways and he decided to change.

That's all I can remember. I really want to find this film and watch it again as it is annoying the hell out of me as I can remember very little about it.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? I suppose viking films like that aren't all too common but because I have so little to go on, my search isn't going too well lol

Thanks!
