Cannot remember 1980s movie names

Earth Star Voyager - one of those I remember liking from back then.

Sand, tunnels, America, lair must be tremors.

Similar to the above description. 1970s or 80s movie mainly aimed at and starring children, with a portal of some kind between two realms. It feels like I could be thinking of Escape to Witch Mountain or one of the sequels, does something like that happen?

This one sounds like labyrinth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_(film)

Nah not Labyrinth. I remember being really creeped out by the scene I'm remembering.

Thank you! Yes that is the first one. Funny how it did not come up in any Google search results despite the fact that the word "Thor" appears in it.



I watched a little bit of the original Under the Mountain this morning and it doesn't really remind me of it. The first is, the movie in my head has a lot more sand. It wasn't just dirt, it was actual pale sand. That was where these portals were. Nothing about a mountain.

I probably wouldn't have remembered if it was Australian or not, so it could well have been Australian and not American.

I don't remember much about the story, but I think people who went to this alien dimension or lair were stuck there and it was very difficult to get back, if you could get back at all.

Adventures in babysitting had another name too, googled to confirm and it was "A night on the town"

So I rewatched starship troopers 1 last night and it was actually a good flick. Sadly it seems that 2-3 and the anime is kinda shitty...

You should read the book.

Hmmm. Good idea

The book is much less about the story and what happens to the characters and more about the military and philosophy surrounding it. Interesting fact: it is either required or recommended reading for the US military (I forget which).

Well, now it's triggered a memory of another film for me. So that's going to be fun figuring it out.

describe!

The beginning of a new forum game I believe!

Sound good to me.
