How will I find the title of an obscure film?

Many, many moons ago, I wanted to tape a late night music programme on BBC2 (Rapido or something), and being lazy I just shot a video in and hit the record button.

Next day when I watched Rapido I let the tape run to see what was on afterwards. Basically it was the first half of a very funny film which I guess will have been set in North Africa - Morocco or Tunisia maybe.

It was about the coming of age of a young lad. He used to get taken to the baths by his mam, and cos he was young he used to go in the women's changing rooms and sauna. His older brothers used to quiz him after he'd been, to give him the details of the naked women in there. He gets caught peeping on one lass undressing, he gets a good hiding, and at that point the tape ran out.

One other thing about the film I remember is that a relative came to live with the family, a young lass who had been orphaned. She had developed a strange streak of grey hair in her fringe.

Anyway, me mam taped over it with Gardener's World or something so I've never been able to find out what it's called. Does anyone know of any websites or messageboards where I could get a clue about what it's called?

seeing as there were nudes in it, it was possibly a french production as don't muslims frown on this - mind you they frown on alcohol and murder too so.....

I watched that Film!!!! :sweet:

I loved watching all the foreign films on a Friday night when I was babysitting for my sisters mate cos you were always guranteed an bit of tit and muff!!!!

:grin:

:sweet:

I don't know the name of it though!!!! :?

It was at this time when I first got to know about Gerard Depardiue*....his early films always contained plenty of French teenage lassies running about in the duff!!!! :grin:

One of my favourite films of all-time was when him and his mate were young tearaways and came upon a young mother breastfeeding on a train and they made her let one of them have ago!!!!
I'd love that film on DVD!!!!

:grin:

:sweet:

Another film I'd love to find on DVD and it's name is a Dutch film!!!!
I was in Holland when England beat Germany 5-1 but I was really ill with my stomach and couldn't sleep so I layed in bed watching this film and it was a beauty!!!! :grin:

I knocked one out whilst our lass was laying next to me asleep!!!! :sweet: :grin:

Basically the story was about a lass about 17/18 who was having an affair with a bloke in his 50's!!!!
But she was a beauty with the best chest I've EVER seen!!!! :grin:

I don't know the ins and outs of the story cos It was in Dutch....with no subtitles!!!! :-X :laugh:

I've seen that one as well, don't they go and wait outside a prison to pick up a bewer because they reckon she'll be gasping after going without for so long?

That sounds a bit like 'Last Tango in Paris' which has Marlon Brando in it.

Les Valseuses is one of the biggest loads of shite I've ever seen.

Anyway, I just happen to have seen the Turkish Bath film at the cinema, and it's called Halfaouine

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090665/

:grin:
