I'm trying to recall the name of a movie I saw long ago.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

I'd say it was from the 80s. It was about a young man who was found washed ashore from the sea by a kid, and was taken in by the kid and his mother. The man couldn't remember who he was- the only identifying mark was a tattooed bar code on his arm. The story was about the eventual discovery of who the man was and where he was really from.

Not much to go on, I know, but any ideas come to mind?

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six....

No idea...

Maybe I'll plug some key words into Google, and see if anything comes up...

It rings no bells for me at all, sorry...

2. IMDB brought up the "Bourne Identity"

But that's much later...

5. It was based on a book

There could have been an earlier movie.

3. Eye of the Needle? Man Facing Southeast?

Just a guess, it's been a long time since I've seen them.

4. Sounds like "The Time Traveller" (1984)

6. The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

maybe? It starred Kris Kristofferson & Sylvia Miles.

7. "I think it was called 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'" - Homer Simpson

This has nothing to do with your search, but this seemed like one of the few chances I would ever have to post that quote in something remotely resembling a correct context. :)
