What Movie is This?

[fanatic]

Discuss scenes or plots you know you remember, but just can't quite get what the movie ACTUALLY is...

What movie starts out as a black and white 50's film about a dentist/baker/barber or something then it turns out a joke...it's fairly recent. The past 5 to 10 years.

Might you mean The Man Who Wasn't There?

No, it's a comedy...hmm....maybe i'm crazy

If you can remember anyone who was in it, or even what the people looked like, and where it took place, that might help?

Are you thinking of Pleasantville?

I love how i'm sooo vague. Fuck. I'm working on getting more details. I know I'm not crazy.

There's this movie where a young guy is about to get married. Right before the marriage (his fiancee is a bit of a twit), he goes to another town to buy a Lamborghini-type car. The car dealer is a woman with spiky blonde hair. There is a scene where he eats Tijuana Torpedoes in a dive restaurant, then has a dream where he's in his stomach, and there are nachos and beans floating by - and his fiancee is there in a wedding gown.

Does ANY of this sound familiar to ANYONE?

Here's one that I just cannot place. I saw this as a kid back in the early 1970s. 70-72 I think. It may have already been out of the theaters.
There is this little boy who has a red balloon. He has no friends and this red balloon follows/is brought with him everywhere he goes. This movie is in color and is silent I believe. At the end, some mean boys throw rocks and damage/pop the balloon. At the very end the boy, now saddened, rounds a corner and there stands an entire bunch of balloons which he grabs and then is lifted up by the bunch smiling. Not much to go on , I believe this movie may have been foreign. We were actually shown this in school, which is why I said it probably was out of the theaters by then.
