The first is about a group of kids on rollerskate trying to escape from something? They are forced to play in tourments or games for some reason! I remember that they had this clubs house thing that they hid this glowing ball of light in. The one part of the movie I really remember is they escaped and where running away and they get stopped at this broken bridge so they make a chain and start slinging the younger weaker kids over the gap until the one boy is left and he has to jump it his self. Anyone?:confused:
The second I remember vaguly there is this spaceship that look like this weird turtle! At the end of the movie the ship ends up giving it life to destroy the enemy I think!
I was between 6-10 when I saw them so its been a while! Thanks for your help!

The first movie sounds familiar, and I think I know what you're talking about, but I can't think of the title either. At first I thought it might be the 1975 version of Rollerball, but I really don't think that's it, now.
The second movie.. . The closest I can think of is Flight of the Navigator.
Sorry couldn't be of more help. Someone else here might know more.

The first isn't rollerball, I have that one both old and new and the second isn't flight of the navigator either. The second is on some other planet and the main character is trying to help some people escape and as always he ends up having to save the girl from the evil lord!
Thanks for trying I'll try to remember more but it's been so long!! :confused:
