for my film the sky trembles and the earth is afraid and the two eyes are not brothers, i wanted to move among different realms of reality—storytelling, songs, observation of a film being made, fiction—so that, in the end, the viewer is uncertain about where the fiction begins and ends. the films in this series fall generally into two camps: one, the observational documentary; the other, a fictional recreation of a film set or filmmaker. what ties them all together is that they each show the darker side of filmmaking and its repercussions. i’m interested in the question of why filmmakers want to expose the dark side of filmmaking. there is something perversely compelling about seeing someone who is a mirror version of yourself being taken down a road of obsession and disaster, finding what at the end ?
soul survivor is not the film. i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70' s and was disappointed that it wasn' t the film i remembered. the film as i remember was in black and white, my parents only had colour tvs, and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead. no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .
not long ago, as i was clicking through television stations in my study, i caught the tail - end of an ad on the syfy channel which stopped my channel surfing and made me laugh. it showed a space capsule crashing through the ceiling of a university classroom into a gigantic jack - in - the - box, startling some student insurance agents as their farmers insurance professor stood by, unphased. “obscure space junk falling from the sky? we cover that. ”

the movie had a fantastic soundtrack that really added to the texture of the movie, especially toward the end of the film .
ok all, definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years. the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie. the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film. the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor. the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71, and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead, thus changing the entire aspect of the film. love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about' 82, hope this helps paul

ironically, it is eisenstein who speaks of studying over and over again the ethnographic film nanook of the north —the film that inspired the coinage of the term “documentary” in the popular press, and which is all but an homage to long takes of everyday life events in out - of - the - way places, from its collaborators’ point of view .
i' m curious, what makes you so certain that the movie is called catch 22. according to the vastness that is the internet, no film exists with that name, other than the' wrong' ones we know about .
well, having posted this query... and not having seen sole survivor (or not) i would like to thank all those looking in and who have answered my query but i still think that the answer is buried under the plane. what is driving me mad now is that i also believe it is referred to in another film, mid 80' s possibly, where someone says, when seeing a movie on black and white tv,' hey, i remember this... the guy is buried under the tail of the plane.' so is this a case where the film is actually sole survivor, but the on - screen reference has sown a seed that is making us all think we have seen the film... but with a different ending ?
if anyone says its the film' sole survivor' again i' ll either shoot myself or kill the wife! its not the film' sole survivor'! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white. the search goes on: = (

the film in question isn' t
the survivor
( the film of the james herbert book). the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash (i think totally unharmed) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up. the twist is that he didn' t survive. he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .
wow! can' t believe i' ve found this thread, i' ve wondered about this film for years. there are definitely two different films being discussed here, mind you, and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor. i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it' s called. there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results. the film is called catch 22, not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name. saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch. of course it was the 1970 film i was watching. disappointment. hope this helps .

if a take is lengthened, boredom naturally sets in for the audience. but if the take is extended even further, something else arises: curiosity .
it is not surprising to learn that launch nations are insured for damage claims, although like any insurance policy, there are loopholes. famously, the folks of esperanza, a tiny town in northern australia, finally had to resort to sending nasa a ticket for “littering” when in 1979, parts of the skylab space station crashed into their township .
i agree with ray too. i don' t think it is the film sole survivor. i have been searching for the answer too. i' m sure it is a black and white movie too? does anyone else agree with that ?

i too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors, and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on. thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix, but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in, maybe a made for tv film with the same name? but also - not an episode of anything, it was a full length flm. so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !

sorry, dino, but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast. (see

web site) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors. not a sole survivor. the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane. at the end of the film, all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found. it certainly wasn' t

another voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking. i ordered that and watched it this afternoon, and, good as it is, it isn' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found. the two films are so similar, though, it' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .
although the film' s plot led you to believe that jason was the returning maniacal, homicidal killer, most of the film' s murders (there were 22 total deaths) were committed by a' jason' copy - cat - paramedic roy burns (dick wieand), who sliced, stabbed and spiked seventeen (17) individuals throughout the film .

one night stand is a 1997 drama film by british director mike figgis. the first draft of the screenplay was written by joe eszterhas, who had his name removed from the project following figgis' rewrite. in the final scene of the film, the two couples have dinner together and from an audience point of view, there are no clues as to which person is with until they leave the restaurant. starring wesley snipes, nastassja kinski, kyle maclachlan and ming - na, the film is loosely based around the death of their friend, charlie played by robert downey jr. and how a one night stand with a stranger can unbalance the strongest of relationships .
well, ive just watched' sole survivor' on dvd. its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator. in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start, and that its been seventeen years since the crash. the film i remember has the whole crew (no survivors) believing that they are still alive. it doesn' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out (no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash) and the helicopter crew cant see the (dead) crewmen. there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film, long after the plane wreck has been found, and not the initial discovery .
the movie i' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze. then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .
i remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years. i don' t believe it to be sole survivor, the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie. the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert, all the crew appeared to have survived the crash, trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue, when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage, and then one by one disappear; a bit like the film really. i would to see it again though .

amazing that this film impacted so many of you as it did me! i was 13 in 1979 when i saw this movie and fixated by films at the time. that year i carefully logged every film i saw, on what date, i even gave it its own critique. my late father kept this' log' of mine in his loft until he died last year. i never ever forgot that movie and have spent the last 30yrs asking friends, family video dvd stores etc etc if they know it! i can however confirm with absolute truth that the film was called soul survivor and was made in 1970 shown on uk tv in 1979. it was about the crew of a us ww11 airplane crashing into the desert and in short never realising they had died until the modern day' rescue' team arrive at the crash site. it was sad, intense, exciting, magical and for a 13yr old it left a memory of joy and sadness and a feeling of' who knows'. i loved it and wish i could see it again to see if it truly is a great film or if you have to 13 to be wowed by it !

a fair question, paul, and one i' ve been expecting. this film has had quite an effect on those that have seen it, i think a quick glance above confirms that. the fact that the vast majority can' t remember the title is curious, i grant you, but the reason i am 100% sure is that i can remember watching the film and i can also remember the title. just because i can (and those above can' t) doesn' t make me wrong. in addition, two other independent subscribers are suggesting that catch 22 is correct. there is no doubt! it would now be most helpful, if we could just find the film ...

i can confirm the film is not sole / soul survivor. the original black and white film was shown in the uk pre 1968 and followed a different plot to sole survivour. the b52 and crew crash land in the desert, try to walk away but always return, try to fix the plane, then start to disappear slowly. eventualy the remaining crew think they are rescued. however the rescue party find the remaining bodies and bury the surviours - who all disappear. it is not sole survior
one of the most noticeable elements in any film is the sudden or memorable appearance of one of the main characters for the first time. often, film entrances are not very extraordinary, but now and again, there are some that are very spectacular and skilfully executed. film scarlet megan fox is no exception to the rule as she makes her opening appearance at an after party. unable to make it across to her publicist who waits on the opposite side of the terrace, she decides that the best way would be via the swimming pool and so gracefully slips fully - clothed into the water, to the astonishment of the other guests .

for the film' s title number, in which students spill out of the city' s high school for performing arts and perform an impromptu dance routine among midtown traffic, the filmmakers arranged with the mayor' s office to close 46th street for several days in the summer of 1979. the actual performing arts school building which was on the left side of the street was not used in the film after the school board read the script and felt that the bad language would reflect badly on the school. in the end, the filmmakers had tro settle with a decommissioned church on the right side of 46th street. as the irene cara song was not complete, the dancers had to dance to a pointer sisters song inside. the song was later replaced in post production .
mika works as a nurse by day; by night she entertains covetous men at a girls’ bar. shinji is blind in one eye and ekes out a living as a construction worker. young and grown - up at the same time, they both lead a lonely existence, but somehow their paths keep miraculously crossing under the tokyo sky. can loneliness be experienced together? director yuya ishii shows japanese society as being caught in a sheer struggle for survival. yozora ha itsu demo saikou mitsudo no aoiro da is a touching ramble through the inner lives of two uncertain people in the middle of tokyo, a city being brutally crushed by globalisation. people alienated from their roots, families falling apart, financial strife, suicides, earthquakes – yet the film handles all of its themes with both lightness and candour. inspired by poetry, full of enchanting visual ideas and recurring music, ishii takes us with him on a lyrical journey undertaken by outsiders who have lost everything. all they can therefore do now is win – in love .

michael powell, well known and beloved in the uk for his technicolor masterpieces black narcissus, the red shoes and tales of hoffman (all of which he co - directed with emeric pressburger), effectively ended his promising career with 1960’s peeping tom. although also a technicolor delight, the storyline of peeping tom disgusted the british press and proved to be so controversial that the film was re - edited to the point of nonsense for its us release in 1962, leaving powell’s reputation in ruins. not until 1979, through the efforts of cinephile martin scorsese, was the american movie - going public able to see the film in its entirety .

king 9 will not return
last night on netflix and remembered how much i enjoyed the ghost story of the bomber crew. i watched sole survivor and it is definitely not the film. another reason i know it is not, is that i saw the film in the 1960' s while still living at home before going off to college in 1968. sole survivor was made in 1970. maybe the reason it is so hard to find, is that it wasn' t a movie. king 9 was a 30 minute (22 actual minutes) tv episode. sole survivor 1: 36 minute movie. what i remember of the film, is that it probably was a one hour tv episode. perhaps of amaing stories, scifi theatre, outer limites or some such tv series. i hope someone comes up with the one so many of us want to find. the unknowing ghosts that disappear one by one as their remains are found till only one remains .

ben rivers’ latest feature is a diptych film that brings together, but does not necessarily join, its two halves—the first a lyrical documentary of a moroccan film shoot and the second a dark, minimal adaptation of paul bowles' nightmare fable a distant episode. galician director oliver laxe becomes the bridge between the film’s two worlds when he wanders, in seeming exasperation, away from his production and into the dangerous, unmeasured desert. although rivers avowed fascination with paul bowles inspired his first foray into pure fiction, his film remains firmly rooted in the daydreaming realism for which he is best known, exploring as much the slow mysteries of place as the iconic cultural specificities and mythos of the desert. print courtesy of jacqui davies limited .

i started thinking about this film after visiting a ww2 aircraft crash site in the far north of scotland (near gairloch). it is a war grave, and there is still debris from the plan scattered over the hillside and the loch. but back to the film. this is what i remember. it is black and white. the crew do not know that they are dead. as their bodies are discovered, they
vanish
. they do play baseball, and the guy with the mitt and ball does not get found. i don' t think it was called
sole surviver
, i think the title was longer and might have had the name of the plane .

we finished the film, but there was trouble right from the get - go. initially, orion decided to present the film as a horror movie. the original poster was an illustration of a few scary - looking, pale kids with wide eyes. it looked like something for

in 2012, that these films were comedies just as much as they were action - adventure stories, it crystallized the format in ways both positive and somewhat limiting. the result is that one can never quite take seriously claims that a new film is going to “break the mold” of the mcu, but at the same time it’s hardly something to complain about, when that mold is fundamentally solid and entertaining. to that end ,

everybody please stop trying to guess the movie if: you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it, because neither of those things is true. it is a black and white film, and the crew of the crashed plane don' t ever stray very far from it, nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them. i also remember a harmonica being in the mix. it was a slow paced film from what i can recall. i' m glad i' m not alone in this, but sad we cannot figure it out! doug
i remember that someone with the casting department told me that matt had “good instincts. ” it was both praise and a conveyed insult. in other words: is he bright? is he intelligent? or is he all instinct, like a jungle animal ?
after hearing the arguments presented on this site and laughing myself silly: yes, it is' sole survivor' but most here seem to not want to believe it. i have it, it is exactly the film as described (basehart, shatner etc). there is no other, don' t keep arguing it, i think many people' s memories have been faded over the years .

whatever the name of this film is, one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site, with one of them remarking that it' hangs in the air just like a bird' or something like that. suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .
thank you for your reply paul kennedy. the trouble is, with believing the film to be this catch 22 which you mention, is that i must then also believe that the whole of the internet does not know that film as no one can find it. i really doubt that any film which has been made is not known by the internet! i know that a couple of other people have mentioned that title, but far more have given sole survivor as the title. is it not possible that you simply watched the other known catch 22 all those years ago at the same period as sole survivor and you mixed up the two. they have similarities after all, both have ghosts and have the same feel. it' s almost certain the film is sole survivor, it' s simply that some who recall it a little differently (like me), do not remember it completely, it was a long time ago. every time i see jason & the argonauts i see something i don' t remember. also, it is possible there there was a european edit, i have seen that explanation on 2 different sites .
shielded by faith in its own imaginary, whilst the conceptual and material debris of that dream supplies a groaning ethnoscape with happenstantial resources. other than by the magic of montage, these worlds have no prospect of coming into direct contact, and even in the film they aren’t made to impact one another forcefully: the film puts itself in the way of this. indeed, it is precisely by
jeez, is ray mitcham still yammering on about this one? the sole survivor is richard basehart. the navigator. the only one who got out of the plane. the one who bailed out and left them lost. get it now ?
closer is a 2004 romantic drama film written by patrick marber, based on his award - winning 1997 play of the same name. it was produced and directed by mike nichols and stars julia roberts, natalie portman, jude law and clive owen. the film, like the play on which it is based, has been seen by some as a modern and tragic version of mozart' s opera così fan tutte, with references to that opera in both the plot and the soundtrack. although much of the film was shot at elstree film and television studios in london, the closing scene was shot in new york’s time square and thereby earned a place in otsony’s film location section. natalie portman’s character alice supports herself while staying in london as a stripper, where she runs into larry played by clive owen, who realises that he knows her, even though she is wearing a pink wig. he asks her if her name is alice, knowing full well who she is, but no matter how much money he gives her, she keeps telling him her name is
