OK, I can't remember much of this movie, but from what I do it was a color movie, but with its mute tones it looks black and white, it's a comedy and sort of a commentary on technology and it's affect on society. I think it's French, but I'm not sure. There was one scene I remember; this one woman enters a restaurant and she has this long dress but her steps are not existent, it's like gliding on the floor. It's an old movie, I believe 1960? Not too sure though, I've been looking for this movie for days, if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

It could have been a movie or a television program. It might have been from the 70s... The story was about a young woman, who was living at her parents house, waiting for her husband or possibly fiance, to return from somewhere(possibly a war), after a nuclear war. There were some sort of mutants wandering around and they may have looked a bit like hairy rags. Some guy shows up not her husband/fiance...blah blah blah... In the end we find out the woman's husband/fiance is a mutant wandering around the property looking for her.

Here's one I just remembered: A 90s sci fi movie, possibly made for TV. Our intrepid space fighter pilots need to do some sort of operation close to the Sun (or another star), and therefor they have to weld plates over the canopies and use a viewscreen to see out. That's all I've got.

That movie would work so much better if one of the news guys wasn't played by Q. Hard to take it seriously when Q tells you about an asteroid and aliens.

Not sure if its a movie or show, but an old man makes a remark like "I've reached the age where I've got more dead friends than living ones" or "there's a certain point where you realize you know more dead people than alive people." Thanks!

He isn't old, but the main character in Dellamorte Dellamore (aka Cemetary Man) says that. The exact quote is "Hell, at a certain point in life, you realize you know more dead people than living."

That's an old (like 1800s old) quote from Walter Besant, and some variant of it has showed up in all sorts of fiction to underline a character's oldness. I remember it showed up on the sitcom The Middle at one point, for example.

I remember overhearing a conversation about a horror movie where a man's id escaped his body and murdered people while he slept. Sounded like a black-and-white, 50s/60s movie, but it might have been more recent. Help?

I got two. 1. 80s movie. There is a prison of some kind. These guys wore collars that prevented them from leaving. It was placed inside an amusement park or something. Not the Running Man, though. Any ideas? 2. Actually this is a TV show, but there is no thread for that that I saw. At least I think it was a show. It was a cartoon about anthropomorphic dogs that were also pirates, but it was less like Loony Toons and more like Gargoyles in presentation, for kids but fairly serious tone. In the only episode I remember a female character puts on a cursed ring and it makes her invisible, unhearable, and I think also incorporeal. I've googled for this one for years...

Some guesses that don’t quite fit: Biker Mice from Mars or Pirates of Dark Water?

Sherlock Hound and Montana Jones were 2 Japanese cartoons that had English versions in the 90s. They were a little more serious in tone for having anthropomorphic animals. Neither featured pirates but there were some episodes that might have had pirates

Similar, but not the same. Man maybe that show and Pirates of Dark Water came on about the same time and I was too high on cold medicine to tell the difference.

When I was young (late 80's, early 90's) I saw a movie that involved truckers. I believe at one point one was attacked or killed by people dropping cinder blocks off of an overpass. I also remember that there was a scene in a strip club because that's a thing you remember. I know that's not much to go on, and I don't expect results.

I'm looking for an indie movie made in the early to mid 80s. The two main characters are being stalked by a cannibal who wears mask and everyone speaks in this really creepy, stilted way. I think there was some controversy about public money helping fund if it helps.

A movie about medieval witch trials. It's very similar visually to this sensationalized Pit and the Pendulum movie from 1991: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSNwGvbbH2c: But is not this movie. It was probably made somewhere between 94~97 I only remember a scene of one of the inquisition people whipping themselves and it was very graphic.

Hi guys, saw a trailer for a movie a few years ago. I think it was two people, they were given unlimited money for a year or so, but they had to give up their life after. That's all I have. Tried googling it but didn't have much to go on.

I remember watching something in the late 80s or early 90s where a kid kept telling his parents that he had a monster in the closet, the parents responded by taking him to see a therapist. However, the boy responds by putting up a wall of toy bricks in front of his closet door. The monster appears at the end to grab the father, I think, and looks like a bad alien monster thing from the Lost in Space TV show. Any help?
