No, neither of those. I thought it was from The General but I watched it yesterday and that scene wasn't there.

ID this suckas! A group of astronauts (on Mars?) come across an alien sphere which is preventing them from leaving, they die of one at a time until one of them kills the sphere by allowing it to open up and swallow him and then detonating a bomb/grenade.. Saw this on vcr in either the late 70s or early 80s

When I was a kid (around 1995 - 96) a saw a trailer play in a video store where a guy bench presses a lady, in like a cool, sexy way. In my memory it was a trailer for Heat, but then I saw Heat. Anybody have any idea what this movie could be?

I have two, both half-remembered, both IIRC filmed in Technicolour sometime in the 60s (early 70s?). 1) Something about what I think was a poltergeist but my have been some other kind of spirit, entity, or ghost. All I can remember is there is one scene where it has locked itself in a room; several men are concerned because it is eating something - crystals? - which is giving it more power. The only other thing I remember about it is a scene where something that looks like a totem pole or a tiki guy is falling down the rows of chairs in an indoor amphitheater-style auditorum/lecture hall. 2) Something about escaping death row number nine or something. A guy with big shaggy hair runs away from something in some kind of dystopian future (?). There's a scene with an invisible fence projected between poles which kills anything that touches it. At the end, a woman is holding the man as they escape from some kind of building. He asks 'does this make me a hero?'; she says 'no. heroes carry the girl into the sunset. I carried you.' then it ends. there may have been a point where an authoritarian voice commands him to RETURN TO DEATH ROW NUMBER NINE or whatever. Please help me.

Sir Nose posted:The first part of this really sounds like an episode of "Kolchak The Night Stalker" called "The Energy Eater", at one point the invisible spirit locks itself in a hospital room and feeds off of some radioactive material stored in there. But I don't remember a falling totem pole tiki guy in that episode. Of course, that kind of thing could have happened in another episode of Kolchak, maybe you saw two episodes back to back and they mashed together in your memory. holy poo poo this is it, it was from two episodes. you're a champion chernobyl kinsman fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Apr 12, 2017 |

chernobyl kinsman posted:holy poo poo this is it, it was from two episodes. you're a champion drat, good catch Sir Nose! It might have actually been one episode; Kolchak got cancelled mid-season, so four of the unaired episodes were cobbled together to form two 'tv movies'. Not sure which ones got paired up.

Actually, those Kolchak movies were assembled from episodes that did air; there were no unaired episodes. Both of the episodes that chernobyl kinsman remembers became part of the movies, but not with each other! So he had to have seen either the two individual episodes, or both of the movies. "The Demon and the Mummy" combined "Demon in Lace" and "Legacy of Terror", and "Crackle of Death" combined "Firefall" and "The Energy Eater."

Someone told me about this british movie yesterday. Apparently it's about a guy sliding into poverty, and it's gritty or filmed like a sociological portrait. The title is "I, <name of the guy>". I *think* it's a movie, and not a mini-series. Also recent.

Made for TV or straight-to-video movie I saw on HBO or Showtime in the mid to late 90's about a kid with AIDS getting ostracized at his suburban elementary or middle school. I remember a scene about him getting cut, maybe as a result of kids beating him up, and needing a bandaid at school, and that causing a big freak out by the teachers / students.

Me and my mate caught the end of a film once while channel hopping years back, there was a guy who was in a care facility because he had some kind of mental issue and one of the doctors (who was possibly in love with him?) convinces the rest of the staff that he should be released so he can live at her house and she'll take care of him. The guy goes to live with her, has some kind of episode and runs out of the house, then a title card comes up saying he was never seen again (or something like that) and FIN. It felt like one of those atrocious low budget, true-story type affairs they show on Channel 5 a lot.

SO this is gonna be the vaguest thing I've ever posted. I have a memory from around 2001, where I was in middle school and I had a tutor who was really into film. He was between 21 and 25 and he was really big into indie movies and the like. He loving idolized Kevin Smith. That kind of dude. One thing I remember him doing a lot was whenever he'd see me reading a Japanese comic he'd put on a Comic Book Nerd voice and say "It's pronounced man goooo". It was obviously a reference to something. I remember asking him about it and he said it was a film, but I don't think I ever caught the title. i've watched a few movies about comic book stores (which is what I figure it must have been about) and haven't heard a line like it. Anyone have know what this film was?

I'm trying to remember a rather dumb horror movie that I caught snippets of while channel-surfing. It was about a bunch of college kids going to a resort in South America. They run into some shady dude who offers to show them a ziggurat left by the Aztecs (or another ancient group like them). At some point somewhere one of the locals gives them the "You're DOOOOMED" speech. So they reach this ziggurat and it's overrun by vines, and it turns out these are special horror movie vines that attack people and make them crazy. Also I could swear the vines implant seeds or something in people and then start growing out of them and it rips them apart, but that might be a detail from another movie. Anyway, everyone that dies does so because everyone's a moron, and there's nobody to root for because they're a bunch of unlikable douchebags. Also at one point I think one of the local kids touches the ziggurat and his dad shoots him because he's doomed now. IIRC it's a fairly recent film, too, if that'll help out any.

Not quite a normal request for this thread, but it still seems like the best place to ask it; I'm thinking of an older white actor who I can't recall any of the specific roles he's played, but I believe he usually plays vaguely sinister men of authority. His voice is the most distinctive thing sticking in my memory; he has a a slight Southern accent, delivers lines in a matter-of-fact way that seems like they always have an ulterior motive, and comes across as highly intelligent (or at least putting on airs of intelligence). It's sort of like the Platonic form of a country lawyer in Arkansas or something like that. I also think he has a distinct way of looking upwards when asking questions, whether rhetorical or not. I apologize that I don't have much more to go on, but for some reason I can very distinctively hear his voice while only catching the suggestion of his appearance.

Cheap explotiation film about a multi-level marketing business retreat that basically turns into a series of bdsm scenes as they're punished for not selling enough things. I remember one guy being crucified at one point.

Both good guesses, but this guy is a bit more effete-seeming; sort of Stephen Root in O Brother Where Art Thou-esque, but unless I am completely failing to recall the role, I'm pretty sure it isn't Root.

A British movie, I think? Saw it very long time ago. There are two guys, their car broke down in a middle of the British country and there's a mansion nearby. They go there and do something and after that they are ordered to build a small wall around the mansion if they want to get free. So they do it but stuff happens and they try to escape but the fog is too heavy and there are no cars on the road. I think only one of them escapes in the end? edit: I remember one scene after the escape attempt where they are given a supervisor who also brings his irritating kid with him. And one of the protagonists is so annoyed with him that he fantasizes about slicing the kids throat with a trowel. Terminally Bored fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Apr 25, 2017 |
