What film was that?
Discussion
Have you ever had a memory of a film, but it all hinges on just one scene? One sprang to mind a few minutes ago, and I managed to remember the name, but, it all hinged on this one scene where people were escaping f.eom other people, and they escaped down a big whirlpool like bowl thing, with water crashing after them. Well, after much thinking, googling, and racking of the brain, I got the name... 'The Island on top of the World'. Great film, now I can remember the fecker in full, with the Zeppelin thing, the Viking types, the lost son, and the Inuit fellow who hitched a ride. Superb film, when I was a kid.
Then another came into my head,('mainly because I am watching 'The Guns of Navarone', and there is the bit where they shipwreck), where a ship is slowly making its way somewhere, it is all iced up, and they run aground. That is all I remember. Any ideas, or any more?

If its the same genre then its possibly "The land that time forgot"
Definitely the same genre. I'll have a peruse and see if it's the one.Nope, was definitely not a submarine. It was definitely a boat, all iced up, and it ran aground on some icy cliffs.

k, with piss poor cgi.Nope,mwasn't Sinbd, (although love those films too). I'm sure it was a modern ship, and people scrabbling about to get off it onto the ice. If I recall, (and my memory isn't, oh, what's the word?), they used the ship at the end to escape, maybe? These are just images I remember, nothing more, so I could be wrong, but I'm sure there is a film out there with this in it. 60's or 70's feel to it, an adventurish type film.

The icy cliffs surround caprona like a wall.
They start off on a boat. But end up on the submarine later.

It's definitely not. The boat is originally blown up at sea by the sub, and they all get on the sub. The sub then goes off to the island. It was definitely a boat, with a deck, a bridge with glass windows, etc. Oh, I think it was really foggy as well. The icy cliffs surround caprona like a wall.

And then there was the one with a sunken Victorian liner where some of the passengers had survived for under the sea for 100+ years...
That sounds good, what was that called?I remember watching a film about Porsche 911's. It was a foreign language film and at a guess filmed in Holland in the late 1970's or early 80's. I don't remember anything else about the film, except the Porsche 911's

I remember seeing a foreign film in the late '70s where the only scene I can remember was a bloke getting out of the back of a 911 Targa and climbimg across the windscreeen and getting in the passenger seat. It must have been late on BBC2 I'd imagine.
Have asked on here in the past if anybody remembers it or knows the film, but nobody seems to .
I'd love to know what the film's actually about.
Also another one where the female villain has a bomb in her wig and it blows up in the sea at the end. God only knows what that one is.
Love to see that one, as I do recall really fancying the female villain as a kid.

I love the Porsche 928, he snakes it around a bit too
ETA
Found it, a film called " middle age crazy "
I don't even remember if it is a good film, just the white Porsche 928
