Name that film!

[dan223]

hi guys this is my first post, i'm trying to find a film i seen about 20 years ago. i don't know the title, I think it is about an alien invasion similar to invasion of the body snatchers and i think that once an alien takes over a person the person's eyes become green. 2 scenes stick out in my head.

1. a man wakes up and goes down to the kitchen, he pulls a carton of milk out the fridge and drinks it, then he drops it and i think just stares at nothing (i know it doesn't sound like much but it's all i can really remember)

2. at the end of the film i think the aliens (not 100% sure if it is aliens) have been defeated and the last scene is in a classroom a little girl walks up to the teacher innocently then the teacher asks her if she has done her homework, the little girl says no then her eyes go green and she says "i don't want to do homework anymore" the teacher stares at her for a bit and then says " that's ok"

also i think the aliens take over a industrial site and i think the guy with the milk works there, also the guy's son sees something wrong with his dad as he acts strangely towards him.

if anyone can help that would be appreciated

ii'm looking to find a copy of a ninja film called the last ninja it was a tv movie
mako is in it

also i'm looking for a film i know very little about i think it's about some thieves who steal this object (there might be more than one) it might also be a crystal ball type thing. anyway they break into this place i think it might be a church. anyway something happens and one of the thieves ends up holding them and they light up and i think light rays start coming out of them i think maybe he gets possessed or something his friends shout out for him but then leave. i know this is extremely vague but any suggestions would be great

Could that be Stephen King's The Tommyknockers?

[Sargento]

Sounds like an Xtro movie Ant .... but could be one of a million I guess!!

[Sargento]

OK here's one .....

Now I thought the film I am about to explain was Shayamalyamalayan's Signs, but I not seen this scene in any TV broadcast:

There is some kind of alien visit/attack. Everyone is a little nervous at first .. news etc showing glimpses of these aliens. But then stories appear about said aliens killing folk. One scene springs to mind when the humans fight back, we see a scene where there seems to be some kind of bomb blast (napalm style but without the fire) which sweeps across the countryside wiping out aliens. But what was the film guys?

thanks for the replies, had a loook at the trailer for tommyknockers the eyes seemed right when they went green but i'm sure the film i seen was when i was a kid so i'm pretty sure it was in the eighties i seen it. tommyknockers was 1993 i know i have seen it but don't remember much of it. will check it out anyway because it does sound a lot like the one i seen.

sarg that sounds like the original V

[Sargento]

Nah Ped, it was certainly around the time of Signs.

I remember a film from the early days of channel 5. It was shown in the afternoon. From what I can remember it was a comedy crime caper along similar lines as The Italian Job. But set in America I think.

The scene I remember was a scene in which stolen loot was being transported from one vehicle to another. It was transported to so many vehilces it got quite ridiculous. But was quite amusing. It made the crime look possible for anyone who had planned enough contingency vehicles to keep changing the loot to.

I seem to remember the money being put in a tram, changed to a van (a light blue pick up truck iirc), slid down a laundry shoot etc. I think it was probably a 70s or 80s movie.

Knowing channel 5 it was probably a TV or straight to video movie.
