hi im trying to find the name of a film i used to watch when i was a lad. Its very vaige in my memory all i can remember is that a boy was being hunted by the goverment or organisation and was helped to escape by a fat sheriff. I know this is a shot in the dark but someone must have seen it. i thought it was a film called D.A.R.Y.L but was mistaken. Please someone help me as its been bugging me for 10 years

It's possible you're thinking of an English-dubbed Italian movie from 1980 called Chissà perché... capitano tutte a me (aka Why Did You Pick on Me?). An imdb.com reviewer notes: "Basically the kid is an alien and Bud is a sheriff (this is a sequel to The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid, which I now also have gotten from ebay on the strength of this) who is protecting the kid from the government."

Flight of the Navigator had the government looking for the kid, but there was no sheriff that i can recall...maybe this is it?
