A What's that Film Thread?
Discussion
Two films which I have been trying to find again for the best part of 20 years!!
I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me here. I have tried various google searches, IMDB keywords, a film forum, etc. no luck so far.
One I hope is possibly easier than the other.
1. This one is a classic/generic american thriller type plot. A successful business man (stock broker possible, as I seam to remember a scene where he is on a trading floor) goes out with a woman, he seems perfect, but then inevitably turns out to be a psycho. Starts stalking her, he's clever so no one believes her and people think she's crazy. She turns the tables on him in the end, and survives as I recall. Don't remember the ending in any detail though. The lead actor looked 30's/early 40's, and had a beard, think I have seen him in some other films before possibly. From what I remember it would have been a 90's film.
2. This one might be harder- foreign language film. Possibly tartan video release in the 90s? I think it's either French or Belgian. What I remember most clearly is an attractive blonde woman in her 30's in a white dress, going around with a strange man, who would often say 'I am the king of Belgium' and from what I recall not much else. It's something I saw on VHS a long time ago, sorry I know that is not a lot to go on.
Anyone have any ideas?

Just a tip but if you can remember a car being in a film you can usually look it up on IMCDB.
I was trying to remember a film and remembered it had a Mercedes CW311 prototype in in then tracked it down

Could the first one be Blue Steel?

THANK YOU!
Yes, that is it
You're welcome. Yes, that is it
Strangely I'm even sure I've seen it myself, and I guessed it from your description of the actor 'with the beard'. Narrows it down a bit especially for that age and one who wasn't a massive star and generally forgot about - Since my youth I've liked Ron Silver as an actor for some reason, so just searched for 'Ron Silver stalker film'.
Every time someone mentions the film The Road it reminds me of a very similar film but I can never remember the name.
I think it may be foreign possibly German. A small group possibly a family try to get through an area in a post apocalyptic senario. I remember they had a car possible a volvo. On the way they met people that tried to capture and eat them. Everything is covered in very fine sandy dust, water is difficult to fine. People block roads with telegraph poles to try and rob them.

I have.
Film where 2 men are running down a railwaiy track/tunnel, im sure one is holding a bag.
Film where man bumps into someone in a long brown trench to pick pocket them, may also be the same film where a person hands over a brown package over a counter, peraon behind the counter does some dodgy swap shift thing and gives him a different parcel back.

This might be a tough one, as it’s a memory of film u saw decades ago.
80’s American post-teen film.
It’s quite melancholy
They’re all graduating ‘college’ leaving a shared house and joining the real world.
The only scene I really remember is two women making diner for everyone. One of them sprinkles some herbs into the pot, when the other says to her “hey, why are you putting my pot, in the pot?” They look at each other, laugh and put more in.

Its not unfortunately 
god knows why i can remeber it,i was only young and probably about 20 years ago.I don't dip in here very often so apologies if this is not the correct thread.
Back in the early to mid 70s, after the 1 o'clock news on a weekday there was sometimes a very short American or Canadian film about a boy and his father who would go off to the country to canoe and explore the wilderness. It struck such a chord that i was determined to do it with my boy which we did a few years back.
I'd love to be able to trace something that inspired so much 50 years ago!

Thriller, possibly 25 years ago... starts with a guy crashing off a mountain road and being in a coma. He pulls through but has amnesia. Later scenes (or are they dreams?) involve a girl (obviously), being chased, and being trapped inside a shipwreck.
Sorry to be so vague, hopefully something there may click...

I saw it at the cinema and remember quite enjoying it. Pretty good twist if I remember correctly.

Late 1980s, set in a post apocalyptic world, where the new teachers are psychopathic robots.
The most psychopathic teacher drills a hole through students head, manically grinning ‘I love to mould young minds’.
