Need help finding 2 movie titles

Tools    





Hi everyone. I wonder if you can help me with 2 movie titles I've been looking for. The first one is a movie from the 80s. I remember kids being in a military school and there was a big war game in it, where they used paintball guns. Don't remember much else.

The other movie is a bit old, probably late 70s, maybe early 80s. All I remember about it, is a kid had a bunch of plastic green army men, and in the end the army men kill his father.

Any help would be appreciated.

That might be ... Up The Academy (1980)

Movie #1- military school & kids TOY SOLDIERS starring Sean Astin.

Movie #2- your second movie with the plastic soldiers sounds like

BATTLEGROUND- that's one of the STEPHEN KING series.

LINK IS IN ANOTHER POST.



Maybe the one about plastic green army men might just be this:

Episode 6 of an 80s TV series called Dark Room, titled ''Siege of 31 August''.

Here is the Link to - Movie #1

TOY SOLDIERS

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103112/



Movie #2 link-

BATTLEGROUND is from Nightmares & Dreamscapes- From The Stories of
Stephen King.

Thanks for the info so far. The second one is definitely the Dark Room show ep. 6. the first movie however isn't toy soldiers or up the academy.



Hmm, try this one for the paintball wargames movie:

Combat Academy (1986)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090865/

Plot Synopsis: "Police Academy"-style comedy set in a military school. Two errant high-school students are ordered by a judge to spend a year at a prestigious military academy, where one of the cadets finds out who is responsible for a spate of midnight thefts.



Note: Would you believe, George Clooney's in it



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
That's probably it, but parts of your description sound like parts of Gotcha!, Taps and The Lords of Dscipline too.

One other thing I need to say is that if I hadn't checked that movie at IMDb, I would have never know that it was 120 minutes (including commercials) in the "USA".
