Title: Please help ID movie!
Post by: lher0277 on May 28, 2009, 11:30:55 pm
My husband is wanting to see a movie that featured a 57 chevy bel air in red at about in the 80's, but has no idea of ANY information about the movie's charaters. So the movie is about a highschool that has a principal who use to race and buried his race car (57 chevy ) in the football field. The school is shutting down and in order to save it there is a race which out comes the car. This movie is driving me crazy that I have no idea what his talking about and neither do any of our friends! I don't think it exists but but his brother (the witness) says he's seen it too but again neither remember any detail..does anybody know what movie I'm talking about?! Please help ID!  :BangHead:

Um, is it maybe "Catch Me If You Can"?  Here's the description:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097029/

Not sure if that is it.  Good luck!

Being the geeky pseudo librarian I am, I searched on IMDB and it does appear to be Catch me if you can from 1989.  I don't recognize any of the actors listed, but in the uses comments it describes the car you described and there is mention of the drag race and the burried car.

I've seen "The Wraith"! I think Charlie Sheen starred in that. As for the 57' Chevy-the only movie that comes to mind is "Christine" and I'm sure that's not the movie you were speaking of. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The movie in question would be Catch Me if You Can - 1989.  Unless He's thinking about the movie Christine but I don't think that car was chevy bel air. :wave:
