A long time ago I saw a movie on TV about I believe a fictional second eruption of Mt. St. Helens. It seemed cheap so it was probably a TV movie. Basically the plot was a family trying to escape the area during the eruption. I remember a scene where a grandma sacrifices herself to go into an acidic lake to pull a boat to shore for the rest of the family. Also the climactic final scene was them in a car escaping the eruption chasing them by driving into a collapsed tunnel or something, then in the wrecked car one of the characters having to switch on an emergency transmitter radio they had.

Dante's Peak. Def not a cheap TV movie.

A friend talked about a movie with a group of people going to a bog with in Denmark. Supposedly, this bog was 100 miles from the nearest town, which is pretty stupid.

Maybe a stretch, but: In film school I saw an experimental movie where the filmmaker had taken some footage from old black-and-white movies or possibly sitcoms). amd had re-edited it an incredibly strange way, running footage backwards and forwards and looping specific sounds and moments for minutes at a time. One moment that stuck out was a woman repeating "I love you" over and over again with the sentence being shortened each time until she was ust saying "love" and then eventually "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv". Yeah, it was weird, but I'd like to know what it was called if anyone has a clue.

When I was a kid in the 90s there were commercials on TV for either Mister Ed or Francis the Talking Mule VHS collections, and I distinctly remember there being a clip where either Mister Ed or Francis is in a boxing or wrestling ring with a human, and the human is losing horribly. For the life of me, when I google around I can't find ANY Mr. Ed episode or Francis movie where something like this happens. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Definitely 40s or 50s and black and white, by the way.

Thinking of a scene where someone is in a cab, and as they get out, when the driver asks for money, the person, who has some ability to tell people what to do, tells them they need gas. The driver looks at the gauge, which is full or nearly so, and agrees with the person. They tell the driver there's a gas station just down the road, which is in reality I think either a fuel tank or a parked fuel truck, which the driver takes off toward. I think the driver says something like "This must be my lucky day!" before crashing and exploding. At first I thought it was one of the 'Pusher' X-Files episodes, since my roommate and I started watching them again a few months back, but we've since gone through far enough to see both of them, and it wasn't that, though something somewhat similar happens in the first of those episodes. I'm thinking it was from a movie now, and the character might not have been a human with a special power, but a supernatural being that looked human.

That movie has a few legit good scenes, including the one where the guy gets mind-controlled to jump from the top of the Empire State Building...while fully being aware he doesn't want to do that.

Anybody remember a super low budget sci-fi/horror movie from a few years ago where I think a guy takes a drug and starts running from something and reality starts getting hosed up as he does? This one is driving me crazy because I am starting to think I made it up.

Thinking of an old animated short that my economics teacher showed our class in high school. It was about overpopulation and consumption of resources. The first part cut back and forth between the same looping animation of tons of babies being born and scenes of people fighting over the last remaining scraps of food. The second was a "how things could be" segment showing people doing sustainable farming and living happily. If I remember correctly there was just music, no speech or sound effects. The people were drawn as purple shapes without any features, and there was this yellow/orange "god" figure watching everything and being horrified. I saw it in 2000, but I'm guessing the short was from some time in the 60s. Anybody remember seeing something similar?

Okay, this one's been bugging me for years. I have a photo of me as a kid and in the background a movie (or TV show, but probably movie) is in the background and I really want to know what it is. This photo was taken January 29th, 1995, and this was on TV in Western Canada so that should narrow the window a bit... even help recognizing one of the actors would probably lock this up.

Request from the GBS thread:Ganraam posted:I'm trying to track down a B movie I saw on VHS once about 30 years ago. I've been thinking about it off and on over the years and occasionally will do some idle browsing for it. I think we rented the VHS when I was a kid. This was the late 80s or early 90s. I'm not sure when it was filmed but it has to be older than 1995 and I'd guess late 80s.

More like something else to discard because it's pretty obviously not it (as I see no real similarities otherwise), but I just stumbled upon a "medieval" episode from The Wild Wild West that features a tall knight suit being operated by a little person (not a fantasy dwarf). The actual title of the episode is apparently "The Night of the Green Terror", not what the YouTube video says.

Hearts and Armour? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0086074/ imdb posted:Bradamante, a woman wearing an invincible suit of armor, is travelling the countryside at the time of the Crusades. After ending up in the middle of a web of romantic and cultural tangles, she finds herself in love with a Moor prince, while one of the Christian knights has fallen in love with a Moor princess. Others, however, are against the cross-cultural romance, and Bradamante's love is soon forced into a duel to the death. Will she ever be with her true love?

The actual title of the episode is apparently "The Night of the Green Terror", not what the YouTube video says. Kosmo Gallion posted:Hearts and Armour? It's not either of these but it's interesting that that is a recurring trope. The armor opened from the front, and it may not have been a gleaming suit of plate: it may have been more of a black tunic or tabard or something like that. But when it opened, you could see most of the pilot's body and the apparatus he was using to control the armor (levers and so on). The drawings the guy I talked to on reddit do really match what I remember. A few additional thoughts--the scene at the end was sort of a twist ending. I don't think we saw the pilot character before that final scene. I think the movie was about this big knight terrorizing people in or near a forest. Eventually the hero defeats him. So the movie up until that point might have been more like a medieval slasher/monster film. I remember after the knight was defeated the hero found out that he had built the armor because people were bullying him but I don't remember how that was communicated. I don't think the pilot spoke to him, I think he just died. He may have left notes or a diary behind that they read later. I can't be certain of the timeline. I think I saw it between 1988--1992 based on my memory of where we lived when I saw it. I was very young so I think it was probably more like '88. It was definitely BEFORE 1995. I'd be surprised if the movie were made much before the time I saw it but I don't have evidence for that. (i.e. I think it was made in the mid to late 80s) My dad likes indie movies and we often rented from the video store. I distinctly remember seeing many other movies he rented. For example, he and I watched Time Chasers several years after the movie I'm trying to find. David Giancola lives in Vermont and I believe Time Chasers was filmed there too. We lived in New Hampshire at the time, so I wonder if our video store had a locally produced section but that is just speculation--I have no idea where the movie was filmed. I do also remember there was horse riding (maybe even stunt riding), so the actor, director, or producer may have owned horses. (This COULD be me mixing up two movies but I feel like it is the same one). I'm currently trying to chase down some kind of local film registry or other record. It's slow going. But I think that while the big reveal at the end of the movie is probably what people would remember, that was only one scene at the very end.
