Page 1 of Name the (TV) movies

First one was early 80`s, i think, about a guy that basically cloned himself, many, many times. The only thing that I remember was that the guy had a tache and that one of his clones had trouble accepting that he was a clone, thinking he was the original.

The second was Early 90`s, and was a Pilot for a series that never happened. Basically an astronaut gets a face-full of solar radiation while taking photo`s of the sun`s corona (or something)

When he returns to earth he discovers that if he looks at the sun, he gains super powers, changing the colour of his eyes the more solar energy he absorbs. There were different colours, going up to red, which was dangerous, as he was shown a model of what happens when he`s over-exposed (his head melts). The final scenes with the bad guy(s) happened in an observatory. (where his eyes went red, heightening the drama)

Second one sounds like an episode of The Outer Limits.

First movie sounds like Multiplicity
But I guess it can`t be cos it`s not tv movie

Sorry to steal the limelight from your thread Stanz, but can someone help me with my one?

I think this American film is from the 80`s. It was a guy who was in a strange town (isn`t it always?) with what appeared to be zombie like people (I remember a part when he was in a diner, and the old black waitress serving him, turned into one).

This guy also had a watch that slowed down time (as well as some other cool gadgets), there was a scene when someone shot at him. He activated his watch and saw the bullet coming at him. I`ve got `Time..` in my head as part of the title, and its sooo annoying...

I want to find it as I`m doing a parody of this film and The Matrix...can anyone help?

Was the astronaut one Heat Vision and Black?

I remember seeing that one xmas.. really liked it ..

I think we have a winner with Northstar...

The other `film` was a long shot, it`s very old now, and I couldn`t tell you who was in it.

The film with the watch slowing down time thing is `Trancers` starring Tim Thomerson and the lovely Helen Hunt,mmmmm.
Incidentally, the IMDB site is a bloody good resource for film and TV stuff.It even lets you type in basic plot details which is handy.
