Flight of the Navigator (1986)

Help!!

Ok, I may be posting this in the wrong section but im about to go really crazy so at the moment i only half care!!!

For about 1 year i have been trying to remember a film i saw as a kid....it was in about 1994 so sometime before then it would have been made.

I only remember two things about it....first.....there is a boy who gets lost (i think) and disappears (abducted maybe), but he doesnt realise he has been gone for so long and he just goes home to realise that his family is no longer living there and there is some other family there.

Ok second.....he escapes some place under a lunch trolley (i think) lots of white!!!! ( i may be getting this part mixed up with another movie)

Thats all i remember...i know its not a lot but hopefully someone here will know what it is.....before i go nuts!!!
Thanks.....hopefully you can help me :rolly2:

You have two very different films mixed up here:

The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey (1988)

Plot Outline: Men seeking relief from the Black Death, guided by a boy's vision, dig a tunnel from 14th century England to 20th century New Zealand.

but the film with the ship is called:

Flight of the Navigator (1986)

Plot Outline: In 1978, a boy is moved 8 years into the future and has an adventure with the alien ship that is responsible for that.

Like you, I've seen the second but not the first. I'm going to change the thread title to Flight of the Navigator.

Aw, "Flight of the Navigator" - I love that film! It's one of those classic feel-good movies they put on TV everytime there's a national holiday. And (if you're me) you watch it every single time, but can never be bothered to actually buy the DVD.

Wonder if it'll be on at Easter?

Not stalking you little_smaug, you just seem to have good taste in movies I guess.

I love this film. The talking ship was great. This film is a great feel good film and it makes you appreciate the family you have. Because in the end all the boy wanted was to find his family.
