    Bro and sis search for crystal and long-lost father
    I'm trying to get the title of a children's movie from the 80s/early 90s. A brother and sister are accompanied by this guy to look for a crystal rock and to find their father (I think he went off to war). They travel by boat, and there's this part where they go to a monastery and find skeletons of monks who were making books. There's also a part where they are going into a cave filled w/ dogs or creatures that are guarding the crystal. I think the guy w/ them turns out to be their dad.

    I always thought the name of this movie was The Dark Crystal, but alas, it is not. Whenever I try to search for it I get the Jim Henson movie...

    Please help!

    Hey. I don't know the title of this movie, but it sounds like one I'm looking for. I remember a scene where a small blond girl is sitting next to a cave/rock :confused: wall and listening to a voice which comes out of a crevasse. There is light coming out of it, like maybe from a crystal. Do you remember that scene? I can't remember anything else, but I think the voice was of something trapped in the crevasse. I think there were other pple with her, but she was the one listening. If it's the same one, I'll post the title here when I find it.

    Oh... I think you are talking about two different movies though.

    Aw I was hoping it was the same movie so that mebbe we could help each other. If you remember the title of the movie, let me know, I've been looking for it for two years lol.

    I've looked in Google for your movie too, for an hour or so, but to no avail so far.

    I'll keep looking though, I'm stubborn that way :)

    I did some major searching and went to hollywood video to look for it. It was not there.

    The scene you described is just like the movie I saw.

    The people that she was with were hidden in the cave behind the waterfall.

    She called her dad, I believe, to tell him that she was sure that her brother was in the cave.

    This is bugging me.

    If you rented it from Hollywood Video, maybe they have the title in the computer? Do you recall anything from the cover of the video? The name of the director, the image on the cover, actors' names mebbe. Anything could help :p

    Damn you! Nice job! We're on the hunt, making a little bit of progress. I don't really remember that scene you're describing, but if I think about it hard enough it seems familiar, maybe because I'm forcing a memory. Still, are there any other scenes you remember--any specifics at all?

    Yeah! You should tooootaly go to hollywood and ask them to pull up your rental history! Pleeease pleease, can you do that? It seems like that's our only chance right now to getting a title.

    For some reason I am thinking that a flute or something was involved that transported them into the cave??

    Did the movie have anything to do with a leprecan? If it did then the movie might be behind the waterfall.

    I think you might be on to something. I don't think it is behind the waterfall, but my boyfriend did buy movies from feature films from families. We had a few.

    So now I don't know if I got it from hollywood video, because we rented from their once a week or it was a feature from feature films for families. All the dvd's are at his moms right now, so I can't check.

    Wait, I remember this one movie I saw, did it have something to do with raising money for an old man and an old scroll they found to a treasure?

    I am trying to watch the trailer of behind the waterfall. It is not working. Do you own it on dvd or are you watching it on the internet. Please let me know so it can refresh my memory.

    I OWN IT ON VHS. I don't know where else you could find it, because I bet they don't have it at the library do they? They are kind of forgotten movies. Because if it doesn't load from the internet from one site it might not from any other either

    In the movie, does the girl call someone and tell them she has found the boy and someone told her he was in the cave and the person that she called said they were going to get a bulldozer or something?
  • Dec 7, 2008, 07:12 PM

    Actually it might not have been a phone call. I remember her trying to hurry to town to tell someone that they were behind the waterfall. She fell down and a horse appeared out of nowhere and helped her. I think the person that said they were getting a bulldozer or something had on a police uniform.
