No, its none of those. I distinctly remember the narration was from the bomb itself. Dr. Strangelove is great, though.

I got it! Bombs Away! From Answers.com: "In slapstick routines that somehow miss the mark, this erstwhile comedy is about an atomic bomb named M.A.R.Y. that is mistakenly delivered to an Army surplus store in Seattle, instead of its intended arsenal. Along its misguided way, the bomb pays a visit to the Seattle Space Needle and is dangerously mishandled. The premise of a wayward bomb sets everyone into paroxysms of jumping, running, shouting, and carrying on with a cab driver (Michael Huddleston) as a befuddled observer who also gets involved." edit: "Military Armament Round, Yellow" - Mary

I remember watching this movie on SBS about 10 years ago. The movie follows a detective who's hired to figure out why peoples heads are exploding, as it turns out everyone who has suffered this "Head-explode-itis" has previously had a brain tumor and their doctor had been putting worms in their head which didn't stop growing/exploded. The personal climax for the detective is when he goes to a bar he frequents and finishes a whole jar of tequila worms from bottles he'd finished previously. You think I'd have an easier time finding this movie with all the details I think I have. E: It could be foreign language but I don't think it is...

I've got one confusing me. I'm pretty sure it's a show though, not a movie. That's still kosher, right? All I have lying around is a couple of terrible pictures. I remember nothing of it except for it being incredibly corny. What's this show?

A quote popped into my head, and it's killing me that I can't remember what movie it's from (I'll probably smack myself when I figure it out). It's a family movie, probably from the early 90's, and there is a little girl who answers the door and is instructed to recite "everything is perfectly normal", to conceal that something strange is going on at home.

Premise sounds a little like "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1970s though) with a young Jodie Foster whose Dad is always away on business or sleeping or busy in the study when people come to visit their house. It's on Netflix streaming and it's an excellent film well worth checking out even if it's not the film you're thinking of. Foster is outstanding, an early film where you can really see she has major acting ability, and Martin Sheen as a young man playing the creepy neighborhood pedo who wants to find out what's really going on with the little girl and her father. It's got a really spooky vibe and is well done, even though the opening credits make it look like a made for TV movie. Zwabu fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Jul 14, 2013 |

I don't think I've ever heard of it, but it sounds like something I might enjoy. Thanks for the recommendation! Definitely not what I'm thinking of though. Mine is definitely in the late 80's / early 90's range because I can remember it coming out when I was pretty young. It's definitely a light-hearted sort of deal (I'm thinking something like Hook, or Honey I shrunk the Kids). I'm almost positive the "everything is perfectly normal" line is burned into my brain because it was shown in the trailer, as well as all commercials for the movie. There is also a scene where someone (I'm thinking the father of the little girl) is telling her what to say if someone comes to the door asking about what's going on. It's really killing me that it hasn't come to me yet.

This is such a long shot kind of question, but my friend has the phrase "away all ghosts" in his head from something he saw as a kid. He says he remembers it as some kind of chant, but that is really all he knows. I've suggested that it might be him misinterpreting "away all boats" which is something, but he maintains that it was ghosts. He thinks it was on TV, but it could be anything.

"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts?" That's from IT, which had a TV Miniseries.

This may or may not be a tough one: All I'm 100% sure about is I was very young when I saw it, so probably pre-1987 or so, and at the very end a department store or mall blows up. I assume the store was the setting for most or all of the movie, but I'm not even sure of that much. Very possibly a TV movie. Might have been a thriller or light horror, but at that age I was too much of a wuss to watch a 'real' horror movie, so it isn't Chopping Mall or anything like that. I don't think it was a silly comedy either, but I'm not totally sure. Not a lot to go on. What movies from 1970-1990 does a department store or mall blow up at the end?

It could have been Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge. See if any of that looks familiar. It is a horror but it wasn't really marketed as a "real" horror so you may have seen it. A bomb does go off at the end and the mall is destroyed.

I'm thinking of an old fantasy movie, probably early 80s, which I saw on VHS as a kid. It had one of those generic fantasy art covers that had nothing to do with the actual movie. The only scene I've always remembered is that a guy gets captured by a band of women (probably Amazons or something equally original) and they're trying to get information out of him. The way they do that is they have him tied naked to the top of an oiled up pole, with a big wooden spike at the bottom, so that he's slowly sliding down to get impaled butt-first unless he gives them information.

That might have been Deathstalker II but my memory on that is fuzzy. Can you remember if the guy also had to do a trial by combat in what appeared to be a modern wrestling ring with a gigantic woman?

I have part of a line of dialogue from a movie and I can't remember what the line is, or which movie it is from. I think it is something The Schofield Kid says in Unforgiven, but am not sure. "I was just there, and I didn't see no goddamn [something]"

Alright, I've got a scene from a cartoon stuck in my head and I need help finding where it's from. It's probably from the late 80s or early to mid-90s, and all I remember is the main character(?) biting into an unpeeled raw onion (possibly garlic) like it was an apple and blowing out the resulting cloud of terrible smelling breath as a weapon. Ring any bells?

There was an episode of Sailor Moon where they exhaled garlic breath onto a vampire in order to weaken it. There isn't a biting into the garlic bulb though. The animation is originally from that time period but I don't know when the English dub got around to that episode.

It's kind of a long shot, but there's a scene in the first Shrek where he bites into a raw onion, and around the same time he yells at Donkey and he makes a comment about how bad his breath is.

So, this is kind of vague, but it's worth a shot. I'm remembering a movie, I think it had supernatural elements, and I remember there being a red room with some sort of Asian decor and a big spherical fish tank. The movie may have been about a private detective or someone in a trenchcoat, but I'm not certain about that. This movie was not The Prestige.
