Please help me find the name of a film I watched as a boy. I will describe what I remember to you:
- It was on TV in (I am 90% sure) the 1980s, possibly very early 1990s.
- It was set in a skyscraper. The protagonist was male, and was talking (by radio?) with a woman. I believe she was sitting at a computer and giving him guidance. Many times we saw the computer display as she saw it. I don't remember if at any point the woman herself was visible, though.
- Lines I remember: Him: "There is no Level 13" (or words to that effect). Her reply: "Oh yes there is." (The stories of the building were called "levels".)
- The scene I remember best: The man was in an elevator. The elevator raced upward, and the "levels" were counted by a very rapidly advancing flip display, with white characters several inches high on a black background. The man wanted desperately to stop the elevator, and it only stopped around "Level" 120-something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.44.12.221 ( talk) 01:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Bonjour,
I've seen that there are 208 countries at the FIFA.
But in the ranking of March, there are only 207 teams.
Do you know why there is this difference?
Thank you.

From the FIFA : "L'équipe de São Tomé e Principe n'a pas joué depuis plus de 4 ans. C'est pour ça qu'elle n'est pas classée." 130.79.229.160 ( talk) 10:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
She is in the role of a woman kidnapped by a bank robber at the beginning of that film. I cannot the name of the movie. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.0.50.157 ( talk) 14:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
IMDB is your friend. She's appeared in about 30 films it seems so you shouldn't have trouble finding it ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000443/). Without knowing (or looking) based on the film-titles alone my guess would be 'The sugerland express' 194.221.133.226 ( talk) 14:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
That's not it. :( I think she's older in the film I'm trying to find. At the end of the film her husband taught her to drive a car I think. Has anyone watched this film before? :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.0.50.157 ( talk) 16:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
No, not it. :( The driving lesson was only a small detail I remember at the end of that film. Her husband didn't appear during most of the film. The main content is that she and a bank robber ran away. He was the bad guy at first but she turn him into a good guy. something like that. more help please, 117.0.50.157 ( talk) 16:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Seems Like Old Times (film)? -- Elliskev 16:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Still not it. :( I checked all the films on the list of her article. The film I mentioned seems to be missing. I don't know why. :( 117.0.50.157 ( talk) 17:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

So who looks like Goldie Hawn? Well there's always Kate Hudson (her daughter). Is she the actress you're thinking of? She's been in a handful of films. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005028/ ny156uk ( talk) 20:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
The question reminded me of Overboard. Kurt Russell wasn't exactly a bank robber, but he did keep Goldie Hawn confined for a while by takign advantage of her amnesia; he considered she was the bad guy, but love conquered all in the end. -- JackofOz ( talk) 23:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Question: I can't understand a certain word in the film Click. Adam Sandler says something to his son, "Ben," played by Jonah Hill. Ben replies something that sounds like this:
"Maybe if you would take me like to Pilottie's like you said you would, people wouldn't think I was Rosie O'Donnell."
My question is: what is Pilottie's," or Bilottie's? What is that word? Is it the name of a gym or health club, perhaps?
Here is the relevant clip on YouTube: [1]. It is at about 4.5 or 5 minutes into the 10 minute clip. Bus stop ( talk) 15:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
In 2007 or 2008, I saw this commercial for Pringles Select chips. The music featured on the commercial sounded like it was Latin. The singer was sounding like, "Eeyah, under the sun." What's the real name of the song, and who sings it? Anyone know? 72.229.135.200 ( talk) 23:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
