Glass Joe posted:Saw this scene repeatedly in the mid-'80s on HBOish type channels. Pretty sure this is Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton. I think it's a scene where he falls asleep and imagines he's in a soap opera. It was on HBO all the time.

Slimy Hog posted:There was this movie from the 80's where this girl buys a prom dress from a thrift store but it has a stain on it, so she covered it up with a flower. When she gets to the prom this popular bitch recognizes the dress as being her old prom dress so she rips off the flower pin revealing the stain underneath and embarrassing the thrift store girl in front of the whole school. I saw this too but I can't remember what it's from either. I'm thinking it might be from some crappy family TV show like Full House or Growing Pains or something, not that I ever watched those...

I posted this in GBS but no one got it. It was a movie from the early 80's, possibly a TV movie. I vaguely remember a lady turns up with amnesia and my memory is fuzzy but the only thing she remembers is a symbol which she draws down. At the end they figure out the symbol is a tattoo of two initals that is on the arm of someone who was trying to kill her(?). I think the symbol was the letter V on top of the letter W. Also at some point there may be a car accident where a car is going off a cliff. At one point I thought it might be the movie Jane Doe from 1983 but I watched that and that's not it.

Just a suggestion but how about changing the op to add more stuff people should try to mention? The biggest thing is people always say. "I saw this "old movie" "when I was a kid" or "10 years ago" when none of those things narrow down when the when movie came out very well. The op says "how long ago you saw it" when it should say "What year you think it was released". Also B&W/color is another one people don't mention that could help.

I barely remember that, but I think it's one of those 80's movies where they'd show it on HBO over and over and you'd watch it every time even though it's stupid.

There's a snippet of a movie that popped into my head a while back and I can't think of what it is and it's been irking me for a while. Basically in my mind it's an action movie probably from the 90s and in the middle of a chase the main actor is doing something to get away and a bystander says "That's illegal. What he's doing is illegal." Then the lead actor throws a trash can through a window or something like that. Any ideas? edit: well I'm dumb, I just googled that line and it's Weekend at Bernies edit2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXFpEdNRYXw Schweinhund fucked around with this message at Jan 23, 2010 around 07:27 |

Cross_ posted:Looking for a 1980s movie which was an action/comedy inspired by James Bond / other spy movies. I am thinking the distributor was Disney but not sure about it. If I remember the plot correctly, the protagonist is a cartoon artist who gets mixed up with a 3 letter agency and ends up driving a typical gadget spy car. It's definitely not "Spies like us" but something along those lines. imdb keyword 'gadget car' leads to this Condorman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082199/

notcreativeenough posted:Hence incredibly common in movies, tv shows, novels, comic books etc. It's like it was taken from a how to guide on how to make a screenplay. I don't think people know how common certain tropes they have seen are and think that only one movie had this particular scene since it was so riviting to them. Then name these movies where a man says goodbye to a woman and smells her hair? It's not common at all. You also said in the GBS thread that a goat defecating on a silk pillow happened in a lot of movies. You are just trying to sound like an expert when you don't know the answer and it just makes you look like a tool.

I don't want him banned, but the dude said it's happened in hundreds of movies but he refuses to name even one of them. He had his chance to either back down or prove he's right by listing all the movies that supposedly happened in, instead he just goes on repeating the same argument. So this is just put up or shut up. I'm sure if he comes close he won't get banned (or maybe he will, who cares)

M_E_G. ADI. K posted:Science fiction movie, set on an alien planet. Protagonist has a violin. The natives vocabulary is very very small and a word pronounced something like 'Koo' features heavily in it. By the end you can kind of work out roughly what the meaning they're trying to communicate is from context and tone. The title sounds something like 'Kayahyah'. Google has failed me. Don't remember the violin but the rest sounds like Kin-Dza-Dza http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091341/

Of what I remember, it was about 2 guys who had a house over looking another white house, and they would use a telescope to spy on that house. A hot girl lives there, and they witness a murder or something. For some reason, I think the house they were spying on was under construction or something. IIRC, the neighborhood was really sparse atleast. Body Double http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086984/

I think the hand was pretty gross-looking too. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082497/
