What Movie is This?

Is it Noon Sunday? There is little info on it on IMDB, but it was listed on this Subs in the Movies site.

No, that's not it, but thanks for replying and for pointing me to that site.

Okay, this is very little info to go by, I know, but it's been driving me crazy. There's this 80's (maybe late 70's) movie about these sort of pod people, or something. There's this blond boy who finds out about the pod people because of something on their necks, or backs of their heads. In the end he finds out his teacher (one of the few remaining podless...err or something) has a thing on the back of her head too. Um, I think there's also a cave or something involved somewhere.

I brought it up to the Mr. last night and he knew of what movie I spoke, but was of no help.

Anyone? I loved it's freakishness when I was a kid, and would like to see if it is as bad as most of my favorite childhood movies were.

gemstone, would that have been Invaders from Mars?

Wow! That was fast, gatitamala. Thanks! It does seem to be the movie I remember. It's got Laraine Newman in it too. Can you even imagine? I hope that's not what lured her away from SNL. I think I'll be putting it on the Netflix queue from grins and giggles.

Thanks again, gatitamala.

You're welcome. I vaguely remember this movie, too. And, I may have to add it to my queue as well, just for old times' sake.

Ok, I have one that had been driving me crazy for awhile. This was a movie I saw when I was a kid. It was probably around in the late 70's or early 80's. Three women (housewives, I think) hatch this plan to steal some money that is being given away at some mall. The basic plan is the the money is in this big clear globe and is blowing all around. Anyways, the women sneak in underneath and attach some sort of vaccum and take all the money away.

This is all I can remember. Can anyone help?

Whoah. I IMDb'd the dentist black and white thing and come up with horrors like this. Eek! Corbin Bernson! One-Eyed Nadine Hurley! Eeeeek!

I know! It's called How to Beat the High Cost of Living. It starred Jane Curtain, Jessica Lange, and Susan St. James as well as a few other well-known names.

I am so excited that I could actually figure one of these out.

I think it also sounds a bit like The Puppet Masters
