I'm thinking this movie was made in the 1990's. I remember a scene where a bunch of guys are dressed up in fur suits and they were sitting in a conference room. The leader was having a discussion with the other members and he pulls out a gun and shoots one of the other members. Throughout the scene they refer to each other as Mr. (Animal Name). I think this was a fairly popular movie because I saw this on either HBO or Comedy Central.

Thank you so much for these pictures. I can't entirely defend the movie, but the bear scene is unmistakably hilarious. The bear suits are awesome. I love the bear pointing up at them in the elevator.

Two movies: I believe there was an early mid-20th century movie about a deserter in Napolean's army, I think, in Russia. He starts seeing some horrific stuff or other. 2nd I think is a Russian movie, they showed a clip of it during the last oscars and its setting is in the snowy woods. The short bit I saw was some woodsmen/hunters run into an Asian looking fellow who's wearing a backpack. In the oscars clip someone gets shot by a rifle. Can't say how old but it was in color, looked like technicolor if I had to venture a guess

Positive it's not Come and See, I have not seen either but the first one was simply a synopsis I had read (pretty sure it was Napolean's army). There's slight possibilities it was a book or other medium but I think it was a movie Second one I can't say as I haven't seen the movie or read the book.

Another movie: Saw this back in the early 90s, I'd date around there too. So it's this sort of military movie type deal. A unit of soldiers for some reason or other are being held in a camp, only I got the impression they were American soldiers being held by American soldiers. The camp is run by a sadistic bald man (who I believe is the same baldy who plays the principle in Back to the Future who always yells "slacker!"). For some reason or other he likes to have them in states of undress and he rapes one of the female soldiers at one point. When one of the protagonists finds out (he has a beard I think) he's dragged away by either guards or other guys in his unit while he screams "YOU RAPED HER"

What's the movie where it's set in the Vietnam war and a guy needs to deliver a trailer to some high ranking guy but he can't find it so some guys sign for it. Right after that scene I think a bunch of bathing Vietnamese get shot up and the doctor gets pissed because a bunch of dead soldiers are unidentifiable because they aren't wearing dogtags.

Ok, this one is terribly vague, but I give myself in the knowing hands of your combined awesomeness: About 8-10 years ago I was on vacation in France and it ran on a tv set in a pool bar in the background. Here's whatever I can remember of it: I remember that it was some tropical/hot/maybe desert setting, and there was a battle going on between what I remember as tribal looking groups. It might have been fantasy, but it was hard to discern with no sound and the tribal look going on it might have just as well been some realistic tropical or African setting. The fighting was rough, I think I remember some gore. I think it was mostly white/hispanic guys, no black people. The thing that stands out the most though is that the setting of the fight was wooden battlements and other weird buildings made out of wood trunks, it was all tall (5 to 8 metres) buildings/gantries and they were fighting on top of it, and I think the one group was trying to take the fort or whatever it was from the other, with someone or something special being in a central wood thingie. There might or might not have been some elaborate traps which the one group used to defend themselves. This is all I can remember and maybe someone has an idea what I'm talking about. And a second one, might be easier: On the Once Upon a Time in Mexico soundtrack there is a song from Juno Reactor called Pistolero. In the beginning of the song you hear someone say "I hate robbing banks" followed by machine gun fire. I tried googling this to no avail, is this from an actual movie, and if so, which one?

Alan Smithee posted:First one I believe was a Dolph Lundgren movie, one scene he's shooting up a garage full of perps by rolling on those dolly whatchamacallits and at one of his akimbo pistols runs out and he conveniently picks another up on the side and keeps shooting. Another scene he makes out with his blonde love interest just before the big fight with the final boss (no nudity but it's all filmed skinemax style) and she breaks it up by saying something in french (dubbed of course) I'm not sure, but maybe it's John Woo's Blackjack? Did the final shootout against the gay looking villain take place in a white room with white sheets flowing in the wind, totally pretentious artsy setting? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126816/ Frost fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Apr 8, 2007 |

The movie I'm trying to find was one made in the 70s or 80s, which I saw as a little child. Basically the precursor for "The Cell", it was about a guy who could enter the dreams of someone else. I remember in the beginning he is in a room with a child who is being stalked by some kind of monster. Freaked me out as a kid, anyone have an idea?

I think this movie was early-80's, I was pretty young when I saw it: It was a sort of reverse-Ladybugs, about a bunch of mostly Mexican kids who played soccer. One of the boys on the team had a sister who was pretending to be a boy named Pepe so she could play on the boys-only team. The coach eventually finds out she's a girl when he sees her in the locker room - she always waited until the other players were gone, but the coach had come in to clean up or something. One of my friends shouted at this point, Pepe has no peepee!, which was loving hilarious to us at the time, and we repeated it for weeks. Unfortunately, not one of us can remember anything else about the movie, even the title.

Ok, I'll check it out, I was just a little confused by some of the covers I googled, one had guns and a helicopter on it. From what I remember it had a vibe to it that it was set a few hundred years back. My memory is really hazy on this one though, thanks a lot.

Ok, I'll be as detailed as I can. I saw this movie around 8 years ago on TV. This movie was about 2 kids. They somehow discover an alien method of transport, basically a translucent inertia-less sphere they could get in that can go fast as hell, and through anything. I specifically remember one scene around the time they discover this thing where one of the kids flies around in it through the ground, trees..basically any material. Eventually they somehow leave earth in a makeship spacecraft and find the Alien's ship. They do some adventuring there, talk to them (don't really remember much about this part) and leave. Any ideas? I hope that made sense.

Kay, this was a documentary I saw on television (in Canada) several years ago (over 5 years ago at least). It was contemporary, had sparse French narration (Quebecois or Parisian, I don't know) with English subtitles and was verite-style. It took place in a US inner-city Black ghetto (somewhere with snow) and it followed this detective trying to solve a case where a gang shoot-out ended up killing an innocent bystander - a young girl. The detective was this really intense, grizzly old white dude with glasses. It basically showcased the abominable poverty of the community (a lot of shots in people's homes). It was really interesting because despite the cop's extremely intense exterior he was very emotionally invested in the problems of the community. It was really bleak, lots of gray, pretty depressing and played up the emotional complexity of the crime (the "killer" was the girl's neighbor) as well as the poverty. Anyone seen or heard of this? e, actually wait. It might have been with French subtitles. (Probably doesn't matter.) Smutton fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Apr 10, 2007 |

I think this is a made-for-tv movie or a miniseries, I'm not sure. It's longer than your average movie though, and it's about a girl and her brother. It's a bit Brazil like, in that they go from place to place with no real reason (or at least that's how I remember it). The only scene I remember properly is them going into another "universe/world". It looks like they've entered the suburbs, it's dark, and there's some sort of curfew on. A boy is playing with his basketball in the driveway and his father comes out and ushers him back into his house. Then the girl and her brother go to a huge office building that looks a lot like the one in Brazil. The brother had this really annoying name, Michael Daniel or something Michael, and the sister keeps saying his full name all the time. It's a really horrible film, but I really want to remember what it's called.

I must have seen this in the last 3 years on Showtime, Cinemax, Starz, or HBO. Someone is giving a description of someone to the police. He says that the guy is a black albino with red hair. That probably is not the order in which he said it, but I cannot remember the correct order. Sometime later, the cops arrest a black albino redhead, despite the fact that the guy who made the police description was just making it up. "Black albino red head," sounds so unique that I thought it would be easy to figure out with Google or IMDB, but I'm not having any luck. Help me Somethingawful community. You are my only hope.

I saw this movie on DVD in somewhere around 1999-2002. It had a burly white man as the main character, and he was digging up his front yard for some reason. I think it ended in a church with demons or something. I'm not sure if it's the same film, but the guy found his wife incased in plastic at some point.

^^^ one of the Gamera movies?Elohssa Gib posted:I cannot remember when, where, or why I saw this movie, but the premise was two kids younger brother older sister, are kinda troublemakers and move from school to school, possibly with single mother or just a distant dad. They end up living with a relative for some reason and learn to be better people. The only specific things i can remember are, one of them pretending to cut off there own finger at school and scaring their class mates, and at one point deciding to scare the curmudgeonly neighbor guy by having the girl hide in his tree dressed as a ghost, but it went wrong and he ends up thinking she was an angel and the branches got bent in such a way that their shadows looked like Jesus. Still looking for this one and thought of another. Genre: Romantic, possible comedy Year: Early to mid 90s Summary: Boy and Girl meet, fall in love, etc. Boy dies, possibly untimely, girl dies. Boy meets girl in Heaven. Girl gets reincarnated, boy gets reincarnated with a chance to win girl again. Twist, they don't remember each other and only have a certain amount of time to meet again. Possible musical importance, either a song or an instrument.
