I can't remember any of the details of the film I'm looking for except at one point on TV there's an an old black and white movie from the 50s playing about a giant radioactive bird swoops in and eats a soldier parachuting out of a plane.

I can't see anything on that list that I have seen, so likely it's not on there. E: yeah it's definitely the Giant Claw.

Two action films I saw in the early. The first had a group of Arabs with machine guns and some of them were killed and fell in quicksand. This might have been from the seventies or eighties. The second had a big fight in a graveyard between characters. One guy had a crossbow, another was throwing axes, another used a bow etc. There were some jobber bad guys two who had machine guns. It was a very Steven Segal esq style film, I don't think there was a big budget for this. Edit: that should have read early 90s.

Possibly a kids comedy from the '90s. A dorky kid who is getting bullied in school fantasizes about being dead and how sad everyone will be at his funeral. The fat bully is in tears at his victim's demise and cries "I threw his lunch tray at the wall... AND NOW HE'S DEAD!" This line has stuck with me for over twenty years.

I'm still driving myself mad trying to figure out in which film the characters were watching The Giant Claw.

Origami Dali posted:Electric Dreams (1984) feedmyleg posted:Or TerrorVision. And for future reference, IMDB has a "Featured In" references section. Thanks but I should have mentioned the film I'm thinking of wasn't on this list when I checked it last time. It's a recent-ish horror/thriller film/show that I'm mostly certain I was streaming on UK Netflix. I thought it could have been It Follows. It's possibly the first episode of Locke and Key or The Haunting of Hill House, I'll go back and check. Thanks for trying though!

Only problem was, I couldn't remember watching any movie with my mother recently aside from End of Watch, which it definitively wasn't. Jeez I'd convinced myself it wasn't It Follows and didn't bother to go back and double check. Thanks!

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?

xutech posted:I once saw a black and white british horror short story about a group of hooligans who end up in a magic shop. They wake up the owner and proceed to scare him until he offers to do a magic trick ~ he takes each man one by one and places them in a booth, then mumbles some magic words: the person in the booth disappears. At first they think it's a joke until the last one climbs in and they are all gone. It's intercut with creepy visuals of the games and clowns and stuff in the store. Perhaps an episode of Armchair Thriller? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armchair_Thriller

A film possibly from the '70s but set in 1800s France or Germany. A child was born and had no interaction with his parents or the outside world and lives as an outcast in some kind of hut. Possibly a film version of Kaspar Hauser. Sorry there's no details I was really young when I saw the first ten or so minutes.

Highlander did this a lot with the mentors vs students dynamic. It could be Duncan killing his protégé Richie, but the way the characters are described doesn't really fit. Duncan gets possessed by a demon and kills Richie thinking he's Kurgan or some other big evil villain and deeply regrets what he's done. It could also be a dozen different characters, older Immortals that inducted newer Immortals into The Game were very often beheaded by their own students who went on to become very powerful monsters of the week for Duncan.

A guy dies and ends up in some kind of purgatory with his guardian angel who explains that he's due to reincarnate and begin another cycle instead of ascend to heaven. The guy asks how many times he's been reincarnated and the angel tells him and it's a high number and the guy is ashamed it's taking him so long. They're having dinner together and the guy is eating luxury food while the angel is eating some brown stuff that turns out to be dog crap when the guy asks for a taste. That's all I remember, I think saw this in the 90s and it was a comedy. The angel was just a normal looking dude, no wings or anything and purgatory was a sunny park filled with joggers and kids etc.

Can you add some context to this frame? It looks awesome. This is probably my favourite John Carpenter final scene  The ghosts of the evil sailors have previously been vanquished but they turn up one final time to wipe out a priest.

A film set during WWII. A kid has been evacuated to the countryside. He's complaining about having to walk home from the town back to the farm and tells the adult he's with "I can't walk all that way, I've got a headache in my leg". I saw this in the early/mid 90s.

A scene in a 90s/00s TV show where man and some teenagers are sat drinking lemonade from a pitcher. The man tells a story about a murder in which the people killed were poisoned by lemonade. The teens gasp and spit out their lemonade and the man laughs and points out that he's drinking from the same pitcher so he's hardly likely to have poisoned that. I'm pretty sure this was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Charmed or some other supernatural teen drama show.

Jonathan Creek episode The Letters of Septimus Noone has a dumbass Sherlock Holmes parody character who pulls this on Creek, asking him how his holiday to Croatia or somewhere was and then explaining how he deduced it but getting everything completely wrong.

It's been over two years since I posted this so I guess I'll give it another go: I saw this when I was a kid, it's an episode of Outer Limits or Tales From The Darkside or another sci-fi horror anthology. These people are keeping a monster as a pet the in garbage dumpster of a hotel, and they're feeding guests to it, throwing them down the dust chute. The monster looks terrible, like a flaccid uncircumcised penis with fangs. I think in the end it's "owners" get fed to it by the main character/s who might be guests of the hotel. I watched it in the mid 90s and it was on either before or after an episode of the Outer Limits where a scientist gets injected with nanomachines that evolve him into the perfect organism (eyes start growing on the back of his head, becomes invulnerable etc). I've found this episode (https://imdb.com/title/tt0667978/fullcredits/cast) but never came across the Monster in the Chute episode. I was certain it was Outer Limits but none of the episode recaps look familiar so I'm leaning towards it being another horror/sci-fi anthology franchise, maybe Ray Bradbury Theatre or Freddy's Nightmares or Tales From The Crypt. It isn't the Tales From The Darkside episode A New Lease On Life - when this was first suggested I thought it was correct but now I realise it definitely isn't - nor is it the '80s horror film Brain Damage. This would have aired on Sky One in the UK in the mid 1990s.

I AM GRANDO posted:You might check out Monsters, a series from the people who did Tales from the Darkside. There is one episode about a hotel with a monster in the basement that eats people and another about a bed that eats people, though neither completely match your description. Was it for sure an American or Canadian production? I'm fairly certain it was US/Canadian based. It wasn't any of the older British ones from the '80s like Tales of the Unexpected or Armchair Thriller, it was definitely "new" when I watched it. Your suggestion of Monsters was good because this picture is very similar to the monster I remember in my head - like a really lame version of a Xenomorph chestburster  But the episode synopsis aren't jumping out at me. I'll keep investigating though because this is the best lead I've ever had, thanks

Chinook posted:There was a disembodied head Unlikely but could this be Asylum (1972)? The first story has a man murder his wife and chop her body up into pieces. He's then haunted when the body parts come to life and the head rolls into the room. Also, Return of the Living Dead has a scene where a bald male zombie is decapitated and the head carries on living, but this thing doesn't talk.
