editHelp me find this popular song on iTunes
editMaybe I'm an idiot, or maybe it's not for sale on iTunes but I can't find the English version for Major Tom (Coming Home) when I search for it. I am looking for the popular 1983 version. I found many copies of the original German version, and some English remixes/remakes from the 90s and plenty of covers, but I am looking for the Peter Schilling 1983 English version that I used to hear on the radio growing up? Is it on iTunes and if so can you tell me exactly what to search for?--Jerk of Thrones (talk) 05:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- A number of comments suggest it's not available there. ----jpgordon::==( o ) 04:33, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
forgotten old world war 2 based movie
editi watched this movie some 18 years ago when was a kid.cant remember its name. but dying to have a copy of it. it was based upon world war 2, describing life and fight of a young group( may be acting as resistance group). what i remembered just some scenes of the movie.shot in one then but prominent European city under siege of axis power. random scene 1- some guys stole rations and siphoning through rain pipe from roof of maybe forbidden store house. scene 2-a group of resistance fighters took shelter from assault in one of the prominent building which destroyed after a fight by a tank.( seemed to some ww2 panzer version) ,resulting some casualities and finally capture of group taken to some camp. scene 3-after the camp( may be pow or concentration camp) liberated by (seemed to be)allied troops , a seemingly angry former member tied feet of an camp officer (nazi seemed to be)to a horse and dragged him .
please if anyone have any idea , would be great. -the movie was in color -language was english , may be duubed after. -i am sure it was movie before 1990 . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.97.19.66 (talk) 11:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

- I don't recall the name, but it featured a woman and at least one man living in, and fighting from, the rubble under a bombed out building. I recall that crossing the river to bring in supplies was a big risk, only attempted at night when there was no Moon. StuRat (talk) 12:46, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Why do movies still use Roman Numerals in the copyright section?
editDanielDemaret (talk) 12:24, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- Generally considered deception theory, such that it makes it more difficult for a viewer to determine the age of a movie. This BBC article talks about it a little. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
- The Australian Broadcasting Corporation decided in 1986 it was time to enter the 20th century and use only Arabic numerals in its own programs, although it can do nothing about the Roman numerals in the imported programs it broadcasts. [1]. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 19:06, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
