Name that Movie..this has been bugging me for 10+ years?!
Question: OK, all you movie buffs heres a hard one for you.
The Movie is most likely mid-late 80's, could be made for tv.
Please bear with me, this movie is about as vivid in my mind as my 5th birthday,lol (im 26)
Plot: A boy and family have been plagued by a lake monster at a lake that used to be a rock quarry. Every time the monster shows up, right before, it gets windy and a windmill starts turning really fast. In the end, it turns out to be a old steam shovel that was at the bottom of the lake that was powered by air turned by the windmill.
good luck...

THE QUEST (1986) aka Frog Dreaming
NOTE: I have never seen it listed under the second name, which is why it took me a bit longer to find links to verify my claim. I remember renting this when we had a tape rental place just down the block. I found "Nomads" there. Have you seen this Pierce Brosnan film? It's a good horror film, too.
Henry Thomas stars in this unusual mystery film. None of the summaries describe the movie I've watched several times. You description is much better~the monster in the quarry that turns out to be an abandoned piece of equipment. I think the natives call it the "Donkegin" or something like that. The review at the bottom of the IMDB page is a lot more helpful I think.
I'm right! I found a site that agrees with the name above. For a while, I wondered if I had movies all mixed up. Other sites kept referring to frogs, and I remembered the creature that seemed to be in the lake.
