I remember watching a sci-fin movie with my dad on TV , probably mid-80s. It has stuck with me and pops up in my head from time to time but don't remember much about it. Only that it involved a parallel universe and a mirror earth where objects were mirrored (for some reason). I remember the main character looking at some after-shave bottle and realising he's on the wrong planet.
Rings a bell?
...and at the end the guy is old, stuck in the wrong universe and is in a wheel chair and he wheels into a mirror at the end of the hallway?.... if so, it's the same one that I cannot recall the name of!
You know, as I was reading your description (SPOILER!), a tingle went through my brain... yes, that's the one!!!! Ok, maybe I'll try some amazon IMDB keywords :)
it was made by Gerry Anderson Journey to the far side of the Sun
Doppelgänger (1969) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.co.uk/title/tt0064519/)
Frak, just as I yelled "THEY FOUND IT!" to my girl, she said, "Doppelganger"? She found it the same moment... :D
Oooh thanks so much mate...
(finding it, now, is an entire different thing...)
Just one question, how did you guys know it? Is it a known film?
and of course reverse polarity
now the space 1999 eagles.......still great

Of course :-) And this movie was derived from an episode of the twilight zone (season 4). You can watch em all on hulu.com
This is the film that inspired me to work in computers, I want to know how to turn the things off if we needed to
The Forbin Project
Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQjebwUrhvc#)
First... you need a good OS for that. An expert system, not the usual WIMP OS for Wimps ;-)
Second... well, we don't let the others know ;-)
Remember Demon Seed?
demon seed - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1HhBWPvlJo)
Of course! That brings me to a couple other movies like... 2001, Colossus, Gunhed(great movie), Wargames and finally Tron.

He still has his stockpile of old VHS cassettes, Debbie does Dallas being always top of the pile :laugh:

@Bryce: I read the plot on IMDB, then close my eyes and use my imagination, what do you think?
After having my really nice home theater set sitting unused except as a receiver for over a year and a half I gave it away and set up and proper components AV set, and the only movie input it's got is my WD media player. So it's all digital for me :)
@TheCorfiot: Alas, I ran that tape to the ground to the point I couldn't recognise the moans from the VHS player trying to rotate the tape...
Can't you rip it from your PC?
Bryce.
Yes, that's what I do when I can't find it on a torrent :D
