Does that ring any bells to anyone?
Is it Northfork (2003), starring James Woods and Nick Nolte?

Set in 1955, the residents of a small Montana community are forced to move their homes to make way for a new dam.

I watched a film late night on channel 4 about six or seven years ago. It was a Warner Bros distribution, French and was about a boy roughly about 12 who goes on a class trip to some Mountain. The other kids taunt him saying that his dad is an organ smuggler and steals peoples kidneys, the kid has nightmares and one of the teachers takes pity and makes sure he's ok on the trip. At the end the kid finds out that his dad really is an organ thief and goes home to find that he's fled.

Can anyone help based on the info I've just given, I'm really desperate to get hold of it.
Is it La Classe De Neige, aka Class Trip (1998)?

Liz,

Thanks - it was indeed Northfolk. A quick scan of Amazon reveals that you can buy it in a double set with Twin Falls Idaho, which I've not seen, so that will soon be purchased.

Thanks again for the info.

Jon

Default name the film continued

**ANSWER FOUND** - Gozu

It was a japanese film (i think) - about a guy trying to find his brother. It then all went really strange, as the guy ended up boarding in a house where the landlady was milking herself and selling the milk.

don't want to spoil the ending, but the guys brother was actually trapped inside a girl that the guy was falling in love with - once the guys brother gets out (via the lady parts) she survices and all 3 of them live happily ever after?

I know it's weird, but I'd love to know what movie it is - thanks!

It sounds like Visitor Q. I know there's milk in it anyway.

I think the film you're thinking of is Uzumaki.

Smile Thank you!!

I've just had a look on imdb and I think it is Gozu. Has to be one of the weirdest films I have ever seen.

I ended up watching it through the night whilst on holiday in jamaica a few years ago. It was so strange I wondered if I had actually fallen asleep and dreamed bits of it.

Can't thank you enough for giving me the name of it - I'll be sure to watch it again soon!

Thanks again
