By coincidence I watched Torque for the first time yesterday and was posting elsewhere about the very good and perfect scene you're referencing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBCeFJ66oRM This effectively represents the entire movie, both in tone and content

Oh, that'd probably be Inferno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77yCHOd3c60 I might've binged the entire Hellraiser series at the start of quarantine  Edit: that also kinda describes Hellraiser Judgement, though that's more a Se7en-ish vibe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxvrmWijW2A

There's also a Scanner Cop and Scanner Cop 2 in the same universe! I actually clipped the original scene that was posted, edited carefully to remove all context from why he's dancing and why she's giving him the strongest possible look, because when I got to that scene in Scanners 3 I couldn't get past it and had to inflict it on others.

TIL there's a Scanners 2 and Scanners 3, and are so bad they should have been on MST3000.

If we're in a PBS'n mood, I'm still on the hunt for mine from the white whale threadDoombatINC posted:I have two, both related. They were bumpers that aired in between programs during daytime children's shows on I thiiiink PBS in the early to mid 90s. This would've been the Seattle / Eastside PBS feed, no later than '96 and maybe as early as '89-'90

Tangentially relevant:DRINK ME posted:College kids going camping. See a yeti type creature by the water. Not sure exact sequence here: either they chase it or it chases them, I think they camp at least one night and then they end up “somewhere else”. I've been on a huge exploitation binge and this describes about forty movies made between 1970 and 1989 - if you add "then someone gets hosed by the yeti" it'd maybe cut the list in half

It's worth a watch if you're a fan of weird, campy horror - it's surreal and dream-like in a way that works for it, and the antagonist is certainly unique

Analytic Engine posted:The opening scene is a US family looking for a quarter in their yard with a metal detector. They find one and use it to run the coin-operated TV in their living room for a few minutes. Also, maybe someone works at Sizzler later in the movie? That's all I remember, probably 1990-1999 That would be the surrealist counter-culture comedy group Firesign Theatre's Nick Danger in The Case of the Missing Yolk (1983) (timestamped at the scene you're remembering) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcm8tsuubPg&t=331s

lordfrikk posted:A sci-fi movie probably from the 90s or early 2000s, I only remember near the end there was a naked woman that was unable to move/paralyzed by someone, and they were on a spaceship that's near a planet/Sun, and there's a guy that plans to do something to her/sacrifice her? Very unlikely but still a ~70% match - Supernova (2000), the very end of the movie has a nude man and woman on a spaceship discussing their potential annihilation from a nearby star going supernova, and it closes on them embracing inside a life support capsule over earth

Oh, Supernova is one of the most impressive trainwrecks of the last few decades - huge stars on camera, impossible auteurs off camera, a budget in the high eight figures, and a complete nightmare behind the scenes. Walter Hill took his name off it, James Spader has disowned it, and the wikipedia page is 9/10ths "what the gently caress happened" by volume.

Movie (from the 2010s give or take) that's a quasi-biography about Elvis Presley but with a different name that, at one point, explicitly references that the character "could be the next Elvis Presley"

Warmer but nope. The most notable part is the quote I listed comparing the character to Elvis - the movie is, and I cannot overstate this, hitting many plot beats from the real life of Elvis Presley. It is as though they were making a biographical film about Elvis Presley while changing the name and a few details. Another character saying that he could be the next Elvis Presley is notable because it implies that these two people lived the same lives in the same locations at the same time while looking and sounding alike but aren't the same person. edit: found it and I was closer than I thought!
