It's not often you see me asking this but I am stuck on trying to remember the names of two movies:
1. A surreal cartoon film, I think it might be "Gandahar (1988)" aka "Light Years", from what I remember these little people lived in a strange organic world and an outsider arrived, one of the people showed the outsider a large pair of headphones (the earpieces were as big as the people) where they would sneak off to and listen to it talking. Other than that my memory is very fuzzy but as it was on a VHS tape that ran out when recording off tv I don't know the end.
2. An action adventure involving a fast T-top pink car (looking like a Corvette/Nascar), some young guy with blonde hair at the wheel trying to get this woman away from the bad guys who often shoot at them, their cheeks get grazed by bullets at one point and the shooting doesn't happen in a city/town.

I'm sorry it has to come to this, but you brought it upon yourself...

Hey, Wizard.
I've got Light Years, and I've been meaning to watch it anyway, so I'll get back to you tommorow on that.
As for the other one, I was going to say Fast Getaway with Haim, but the pink car doesn't sound right. I'll look into it. The whole grazing the cheek with the bullet thing is pretty specific, and I don't remember that happening in Fast Getaway. I've never seen Fast Getaway 2.

What about "The Dream Machine" for #2? That and "License To Drive" are the only ones I can think of where a car played a big part.

In Dream Machine, it is like a silver Porche. And in License to drive, it is a blue cadillac. Aside from the dream sequence at the beginning of License to Drive and that is a red car. And they are being chased by the bus driver, then.

I have Dream Machine laserdisc and Fast Getaway VHS (been chasing down Corey Haim movies, 'scuse the pun), it's not either of those, the guy in the film I'm trying to remember is older, mid 20s.
Hambone, that would be great if you can let me know what the film is like and what it's about, I like watching & collecting obscure films not many have heard of and that one is on my to-get-one-day list.

Ok some more clues on the style of the car chase film, it's similar to Assassination (1987) starring Charles Bronson and also similar to The Gauntlet (1977) starring Clint Eastwood in that throughout the film the two main characters are forever trying to get away from a bunch of hired hitmen or just plain bad guys with guns.
