Ok, I have one. I saw this in a hotel as a kid on tv. It's a horror movie where apparently people were getting murdered by what I think may have been their dopplegangers... in any event the each actor had an evil counterpart that went up and tried to kill them. One of the guys looked like Ben (the indian guy) from Short Circuit. The deaths included one guy getting garotted by his twin and one guy being pulled face first down the toilet after seeing a bubbly mess come up from it (yes, similar to the blob). Someone else walks in and sees the bubbly mess forming in the toilet and backs up into their double who is going to kill them. Any ideas?

There's not much said about it on the internet, unfortunately, so I'm limited to my lovely memory. I think the guy who looked like Ben (comedian Kenny Everett) had a metal prosthetic leg, and there was a running gag of him having to leave the group to take a leak. that might be it! I remember a snake coming out of a dude's arm! thanks dude

Ok, here's one. I recall a monster that teleports, an older sister, a younger brother with a machine gun, and sister's boyfriend who looks something like Casey Jones who gets eaten by the monster. The scene I remember is that the sis and boyfriend go up to their parent's room and the lil bro carrying his gun doesn't want them to go in there. They go in there and her parents and grandparents are in there, all in bed together and look like they're covered in slime/snot/whatever. She says something's disgusting about it all. Then the monster materializes and glides over to eat the screaming boyfriend.

I'm very familiar with Monster In The Closet and it certainly isn't it... thank you though I just realized I didn't put any sort of timeline in my original post... I saw this movie on tv when I was a kid, about 14-18 years ago... I'm 100% certain I did not dream it up and the movie actually exists.

I need to find it somewhere to find out for sure, but the "previously munched adults doing something perverted" definitely sounds possibly like that scene I remember. As does the comment about the pool full of KY... Man, stupid things scare us as kids. Thanks!

This one definitely exists. It was one of those typical 80s-early 90s films where the new kid's in town and has to deal with the gang of douchebags who are skiers/parachuters/dancers/calligraphers/professional masturbators all in order to impress the girl of his dreams who is also being constantly pursued by the lead douche. Anyways, this one was about roller blading. The final scene was a huge competition of super dangerous downhill racing through suburbia. People were hit by cars. There were guys who were known only by the bizarre way in which they skated. One guy for instance would only skate with his arms behind his back and barely leaning forward. Another would form a circle with his arms in front of his chest allowing the air to zoom through his chest and arms... that part made no sense to me, I always thought he'd have more drag that way... anyways the good guys win it. What the hell is this movie? invalid user fucked around with this message at Dec 19, 2006 around 14:46 |

This shouldn't be too hard but I'm not sure how to look it up. You remember how there are always underdog movies about the fish out of water or the lower caste-member who everyone thinks they will never in a million years accomplish a specific sports-like act but then they do and it's a feel good for everyone? The greatest game ever played was one of those with a pauper who was a god at golf, for instance. Well, this movie was that but with alien gladiator fighting. And the lowly human who I remember had this retarded costume and was kind of a chump in my late 80s-mid90s eyes. I remember a character that looked like a rat-man, guys dressed up like dracula... hrm... I remember one alien fighter looked like a giant foam bug with huge legs the guy would punch and the main badguy was like a cyborg minotaur kinda thing... He may be an inferior species in a lovely movie, but he had a lot of Heart! Anyone?

stawk Archer posted:Okay I remember most of the movie and it was very good. It was a western in modern times with a murder mystery, it had middle aged characters and a romance between them (which gave it a big 'reality' feeling), and I believe the villain was played by Tom Skerrit. What was that title? Was it Texas Rangers? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0193560/ Dude, if you know for a fact Tom Skeritt is in it, why not just IMDB it? Most of the posts here are for more obscure requests, scenes remembered, vague images from childhood, saw that great movie 2 years ago, don't remember who was in it, etc. etc.

I've got one. I saw this I think in the early 90s on tv... A kid in a small town finds a government-created laser beam weapon-thing... He has daydreams about being on the bridge of a starship as either a human explorer or an alien. He uses the beam weapon to try and fix things to be how they should be, but of course in his hubris he screws everything up. I think he kills a priest with it at some point... He definitely screams about how the aliens probably just never had a clear signal from their planet and shoots the beam off into space. in the end he's gunned down, but the epilogue shows him on the bridge of the starship again...

There was some kind of direct to video cartoon movie thing as a promotion for a toy line. It was like characters that existed as data in the computer world all came out of the floppy drive and changed everyday objects into crap they could hide in and fight with. Like a soccer ball opened up to become a cannon... Any ideas?

No, that was the saturday morning cartoon that was CGI and blue, right? This one was hand animated. with I think 80s level CGI, like vector graphics at times. But in the "real world" it was a normal cartoon.

I saw this on tv sometime in the early-mid 90s probably. It's only a scene, but I'm sure someone must know it. It's just a black guy onstage in a comedy club. He's talking and doing his routine which consists of his eyes bulging out and wiggling super-quickly. I remember his words not being too funny (but this could have been attributed to my youth) and the audience in the film was laughing hysterically at his eyes. Anyone?

Alan Smithee posted:I remember reading about a movie, think it's 70s era and French, about an apocalyptic turn of events and at the end a wife character winds up killing her husband and joining the anarchy Week End by Jean-Luc Godard http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062480/ I KNEW I'd seen this before and spent like an hour searching for it. Fantastic film. I have a questionable one though. I remember seeing it on a premium channel within the past 10 years... I remember it involved 2 or more people who worked in this massive office building in a metropolitan area. They had a bet between each other as to whether they could live only in the building for 30 days.

I remember seeing this on tv probably in the early nineties. I think it was a struggling writer looking for inspiration. He goes into an asian antique-type place... like the shop in Gremlins, and he buys a jar with a human brain that has an eyeball in it. He becomes obsessed with the jar... that's all I can remember.

No, that's not it. I remember this movie, that one had the dancing hitler band... the one I'm talking about had a brain with an eye ball in between the ridge in the frontal lobe...

I must have seen this on TV during the 80s, though I'm not sure if it was a movie or an episode of a horror tv series of some sort. I remember only that this guy who looks like John Lithgowe (I checked IMDB, it wasn't him) and his son end up in some strange family's home. I remember the son goes off to play or something, exiting the scene. Not long after, a young woman commits a faux pas of some sort and is ordered to be "eaten" or something. The Lithgowe-guy says "Eaten? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SON?" And it cuts to the girl crying and screaming "noooo" while 2-3 others are eating her flesh. The last part, from the "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SON?" and the cut to the flesh-eating is definitely the most vivid part in my mind.... any thoughts?

This one was either late 80s or early-mid 90s. Saw it on tv, I believe it aired a couple times on sci-fi channel in its early inception. It was a desert-like post apoc earth and I think this guy with a chainmail-esque robotic arm brought a mechanical artifact from the desert to his girl who probably studies all this junk. I remember her place was dark and basically looked like a series of mini-storerooms. I recall in the commercial you would see his robothand going down the small of her back while they are in the shower together. Anyways, then somehow a giant killer robot gets into the plot. Any ideas?

So I'm not a pedo, I promise (great way to start a request), but I have this one film that was on the movie channels in the 80s. It involved an underaged girl (10-13) raised in what looks like the 1800s or early 1900s in a remote possibly european area. There are two scenes I remember most: 1) She is whored out to a 50 something guy in a scene where she's carried out on a big throne or something carried by a bunch of the people who live in the same place she does. There were sparklers involved I think. 2) She ends up with this artistic guy, jumps on his bed and breaks it, and poses for him nude for a painting and throws a tantrum. I remember this and thinking "what the gently caress? kid nudity on tv? What the flying gently caress?!?!" I'm really not interested in seeing this so much as reading the imdb on it and finding out what the gently caress the context was.

This should be easy to some of you. It's a Japanese film about a blind guy who kidnaps someone famous (an actress?) and takes her to his bizarre sculpting studio where he lives with his mom. The walls of the scultping studio are giant body parts. In the end they dismember each other in a passionate, loving contempt for everything (freaky movie). What the hell was it called?
