Body floating past a window

This is a really long shot, but it's been bugging me for weeks, so it can't hurt to try ( Read more... )

In "The Abyss" there's a scene with a guy on the submarine floating up past the people in their deep-pressure suits.

I did think it could be The Abyss, as I remember my parents watching that on TV when I was quite small, but I couldn't find any mention of a scene like that. Hmmm - I bet that's it!

There's a scene like that in "Jaws 3." Here's a link:

Is that it?

That's a good guess, it certainly fits my description, but I don't think it's the scene I am picturing - I don't recall people screaming when the body appeared. I suspect it's The Abyss I am thinking of... now if I can only find a clip of that scene...!

I agree on "The Abyss". I also seem to remember something like that in "The Deep" with Nick Nolte (1977) and also in a lab scene in one of the early "Resident Evil" movies (that was a woman though and she wasn't entirely dead, but the unpleasant shock part fits well enough).

ETA: Haha, speaking of "not dead" there's also a pretty memorable underwater window scene in the start of "Goliath Awaits" from 1981, about 14:30 in.

I saw Resident Evil at the cinema, but I feel like this memory is older. The Abyss is very likely to be it...

Could it have been Sphere? It was a movie based on Michael Crichton's novel, and it took place underwater. I am fairly certain there was a floating body at some point.

I don't think I've seen that, and the release date is probably a little too late for this memory, but I appreciate the suggestion!

Airport 77? There definitely a scene where a guy who is part of a rescue attempt is swept out of the plane (which has crashed and is under water) and it goes right by the window his wife is sitting near.

Hmm, it's a possibility... I do recall those Airport movies being shown on TV when I was young...
