There was a really, really awful horror movie that a friend and I caught on late night TV years ago. I believe it was a series of short stories that revolved around cats. The one in particular that we cracked up at was a ripoff of The Birds, replaced with cats. Two specific moments: 1) The starring woman tries to pick up a piece of paper, but a paw on a stick scratches her arm every time she attempts it. 2) She locks herself in the pantry to escape the onslaught of cats. She's incredibly hungry after days and she finds perfectly fresh bed in the pantry, but she puts a rotten condiment on top of it, gags, and refuses to eat the rest of the bread.

Im honestly about to kick myself when I find out what it is, as Im sure its very popular... The only thing I remember about it (as I just briefly caught it before classes one day) was that it contained Bill Murray in Soviet Russia. For the life of me I havent been able to find out what this film is.

You might be thinking of The Man Who Knew Too Little, a spy spoof which ended with a banquet for Russian dignataries with lots of Russian dancing and costumes.

Alright, this one is kind of infamous as my family watched part of it about 12 years ago in a lovely hotel, and it was too bad to turn off. Here are the details I remember: lovely rear end lame character with a glass sword and a motor scooter helmet with a non threatening backwards fin on top. A chase scene on dirtbikes with what looked like cardboard prop additions to them to be "futuristic" going through what looked like a concrete overpass that was I think used as a "base" because one end looks bunker-ish, also lots of gas fireballs coming from said empty concrete shaft with no flammable materials. lovely lovely glass sword fight scene that ends up cutting off the hands of someone I think. "I must go to TRITON!" said in the dumbest voice I can imagine. It was pronounced as a retard would. Triton I think was a lovely painted backdrop of a glass city which on the inside looked like a lovely mariot hotel in the midwest. This has been bugging me for years because it is so bad, I'd say it is somewhere between Manos: The Hands of Fate and Space Mutiny in quality.

Ok got two films to identify both of which are cartoons from the late 80's early 90's now bear with my as my memory is a little fuzzy on the both of them. The first takes place in a mining colony in the future and its a bit of a rip of star wars in that it includes a lovable space rouge with a cool ship and some robots, but the main story follows a miner who finds the hilt to a sword while diggin and then uses it through many tribes and tribulations to free his fellow slaves. The king of the mines wore i think looked like baron samedi(S.P) and wanted the magical sword hilt for himself ohh and the slaves had never seen the sky and thats what happens in the end they are freed and look up to the stars. Right so thats the first one the second i remember even less about but it was based around some kind of rescue team that used robot suit things to save people and the move follows them as they fight i think it was four elemental monsters but i cant really remember. I know there is not a lot to go on there but any help would be appreciated i remember loving both these things as a kid but forgot about them until last night.

Have a bunch, despite the internet's uncanny mind-reading powers that already answered more than half. Please keep in mind I'm from Italy, so I have no idea where any of these originally aired nor can I give accurate recollections of dialogue (all movies are dubbed for our market). All of these were seen on TV, at least five years ago.ClydeUmney posted:This one is Brainscan, I think. quote:Igor, dial 1-800-555-FEAR. Kickass! thanks! American teenager tries out a mysterious computer game where he acts out the career of a ruthless serial killer. The game interacts with the player through a "demon head" avatar, and relies on putting the player in a vivid, first-person hallucination of being the killer. The player is rated in effectiveness, brutality and morbosity (the game compliments the kid for cutting off a victim's thumb with an electric knife as a trophy). The kid soon discovers he's actually committing the crimes in real life, but not soon enough, and he must continue playing the game to cover his tracks before the police gets to him. As things go horribly wrong (maybe he gets killed?), he wakes up from the game and discovers the game really was just a game, however vivid. So he curses at the demon head that is now complimenting him and recommending breathing exercises (I believe he angrily yells "gently caress you and your breathing exercises!" at this point) Ending: as a revenge, he tricks the school's principal into playing the game Extra detail: the kid had a voice-activated personal assistant software on his PC, called "Igor" (the visuals were a crude animation of a cartoon hunchback "Igor"). Igor acknowledges the kid's orders with a "Yes, master". With a creepy twist: before the kid goes out on his final game mission, Igor adds "Farewell, master" (one of the hints that It's All Just a Dream) Action Jacktion posted:Highway to Hell A guy tries to save his girlfriend's soul from hell with the help of a buddy. On the outskirts of hell (a barren desert with a highway in the middle), they are hunted down by an invulnerable demonic sheriff with mirrored sunglasses grafted to his eyes (the sunglasses are his only weak spot). At some point they get to the gates of hell, which is a cavern on a lake with a cheesy scrolling dot matrix display reading "Leave any hope you who enter here" (from Dante's "Inferno"). There they exchange some words with a damned soul who had his eyes sewn shut. Action Jacktion posted:My Stepmother is an Alien Extremely silly movie about a woman-looking alien stranded on Earth that must get in contact with her kind. She clumsily hooks up with a TV technician (or something like that) so that she will eventually have access to a large dish antenna to send her distress call with. She "drinks" elecricity as food, draining several batteries in the guy's household. She is extremely naive in the humans' ways and her robotic assistant (some small floating thing) continually digs through movie footage archives to document her their strange ways. For "kiss" she is shown all the usual "exotic" variants (inuit nose-rubbing, russian mouth-kiss greeting, etc.) plus some cinematic examples, and of course she has to go and try them all on the male lead (cue laughs). Question still open for this one: For "sex", some of the footage came from a hilarious B/W army basic training movie (or spoof thereof), where a deadpan drill sergeant type teaches recruits that "your penis is a weapon, and the Nation expects you to keep it dry and clean!" - if you could identify this too, you will become my hero  Episode of mystery horror series Two nosy reporters (a man and a woman) are on the tracks of a famous musician/singer believed dead. They witness proof that he might be still alive (among which a car identical to the one he owned, with a vanity license plate that is an obvious reference to one of his songs), and finally found him. He is still alive alright, altough a vegetable. He sits on an armchair with a vacant stare, hooked up to mysterious IVs, and with the fingers of one hand he plays the same chord over and over on a tiny electronic keyboard (with like four or five keys). One of the reporters (the woman; not sure where the other is at this point) tries to "interview" him. Seeing no response, she fiddles with the IVs until the guy has a seizure. A nurse interrupts her fiddling, horrified, saving the musician just in time. Shortly thereafter, the woman reporter goes missing, and her partner comes looking for her. He finds her sitting opposite the lost musician, cathatonic and hooked up to a similar set of IVs. Could well be Poltergeist (unconfirmed) I have seen this a very long time ago, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 years ago. I don't even know whether it was in color because we had a B/W TV set at the time. There's a large haunted tree that extended its branches into a house, trying to grab or kill the inhabitants. The survivors escape the house, and witness the tree just... magically disappearing. Or something. I must have been around 5 or 6 at the time, and this is all I remember. Found it! It's Finders Keepers! quote:Patrick receives an invitation while playing on a computer to take part in a TV game show called 'Finders Keepers'. He is sucked through a time barrier to another world where he is given clues to find missing treasures from his own world and take part in a time travel treasure hunt. Based on the award winning book 'Finders Keepers' by Emily Rodda How I found it: "stratigraphy" to narrow down country and decade (I knew it was Australian and broadcasted roughly at the same time as Pugwall), IMDb power search for the list, and some patience and luck to spot out the right title among 300+. Thank you internet! This one might be Australian, as the channel where I used to see this seemed to buy most of its material from Australia. In the hall of a mall there is a large, bizarre clock that strikes the time hourly by animating a life-size dummy of a man in a black suit and a metal mask. The dummy strikes a cymbal with his knuckles, producing a very distinctive sound. The clock is prominent in every episode, and central to the plot of the story. A kid often goes there with his mother, dreaming of owning a computer (at some point he gets kicked out of a computer shop for playing "Altered Beast" on one of the display units). In a way that I forget completely, he is transported to a parallel dimension, and invited to take part in a treasure hunt, final prize... a computer! Three opponents have hidden an item in his world, and take turns in giving him a riddle that reveals the hiding place and the nature of the item. He eventually beats the game, and gets to spend more time in the parallel dimension and learn about it. There's a place in it where, beyond a hill, a bad special effect called the Barrier (or something to that effect) perpetually rains random objects from the other dimension. There's a special uniformed corps whose agents stand there all day throwing the stuff back, which ends up reappearing in random locations. It's later revealed that the mall clock is a special clock, one of several in the world. Instead of measuring time, it creates time. At some point it breaks down, and the protagonists set out to find its creator, so she can fix it and avert the catastrophe. It turns out it's just run out of charge. The dummy's mask hides the slot where the special battery (a glowing orb) goes; they can only get ahold of a small, marble-sized one that will not last long, though. The final "fix" consists in the creator magically merging with the clock's dummy, which walks off the clock to meet with her, and then back on. Mystery sci-fi clip Seconding this: JamesieAB posted:I remember seeing what appeared to be an American 50s/60shome movie clip of a large fireball travelling horizontally with a great deal of smoke billowing out of it. The setting was in the desert and there were a number of cars pulled over to the side of the road and people standing by them watching the fireball speed past. I think I remember this too. If it's the same one, in one scene the fireball went past a roadsign and its hot trail slowly melted the sign. It was used as an "intermission" of sorts in the programming of some kids' TV, so it might come from either Nickelodeon or the aforementioned mystery Australian kids' channel. hackbunny fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jul 26, 2007 |

The IMDB plot synopsis is empty, so here is the plot synopsis from Netflix: Netflix posted:Burrowed in the heart of Mine-World, evil Zygon rules with an iron fist in this thrilling animated film. He requires absolute allegiance from his citizenry, who are expected to be his slaves, and no one dares question his supremacy. But when Orin, a young boy with a big heart and a deep well of courage, discovers a sword that gives him great powers, a brighter future is at hand. Can Orin, with the help of the cynical Dagg, vanquish Zygon forever?

Saw this movie about 6 years ago, but the production looked to be mid 80's. Due to it being seen at the house of a "lady" our family does it's best to forget, I've blocked most of the memories. What I remember is the movie was mostly a typical fantasy, unlikely hero saves the land from the evil dude, one important scene had the hero using a weapon that looked like a cross between a throwing star and one of those frisbees that have no center. The evil guys castle/lair was whit and all pointy and pyramidish. Space may have been involved at one point.

Four films: 1. This was probably an English production or at least featured English/UK actors (likely a late 1980s production). Plot is something like a boy living with his mean aunt and uncle travels to a fantasy land being plagued by the evil guy. (I think his name was Cato or Kato) Hero kid's pal tags along on the adventure. Hero must kill baddie by stabbing him in the heart. I've searched endlessly with no luck. 2. I've only seen a preview trailer for this one (probably on SA a few years ago), but basically Nazi Zombies on a beach with Zombie zeppelin. 3. Another fantasy movie. I don't remember many details other than a friend of the hero or maybe the hero himself is a swordsman that spends all day drinking water from a magic well. Maybe it has wine in it? 4. Fantasy/Vampire movie. I remember seeing this one on USA or TNT years ago, two guys looking for a girl, vampire sluts in togas, post-apocalyptic world. I'm thinking this may be the movie She, but I'm not sure.

Okay, I just stumbled on this thread and it took me two days to read through all the posts. I'm gonna take a crack at a couple from way back that I didn't see any responses to. I might have missed something because, hey, it's late. If I'm repeating somebody else's answer, please bear with me:Help the Hogs! posted:What's the movie (black and white, possibly 1950s) that ends with a couple on a ship moving away from a life preserver only to reveal that they're on the Titanic? I'm not entirely sure, but this sounds like one of the hour-long Twilight Zones that you only see during a marathon. squirrelcop posted:Ive been trying to find this movie since I was little. If you're still out there, I got ya covered buddy. It's Band of the Hand directed by Michael Mann hisself. Now it's my turn. Cheesey horror movie from the late 60's/early 70's, lots of "mod" style clothes. Anthology style, and I think the segues had something to do with an elevator. The part I remember was an artist whose paintings had a kind of voodoo doll quality to them and he decided that to keep himself safe, he locked his portrait in a safe. There's no air in there, so he starts to suffocate and he takes it out. Later, a can of paint thinner falls on it and he melts. I think the ending had something to do with the characters getting off the elevator to find out they're in Hell.

Excuse the bump. 1) I remember watching some German film on IFC a few years ago – looked like a fairly recent movie. It starts out with a family heading out to a semi-secluded summer home out in the country or something like that. Later on, two youngish guys who seem harmless enough come inside but they soon drop the facade and hold up the family. As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that they are don't intend on leaving anyone alive and kill the whole family. I think at the end of the movie, it shows the two bad guys beginning the process all over again, but that could just be my imagination. 2) My dad checked this out from a library in 1992 and I don't really remember what it was about, just memories of a handful of scenes: -The movie looked like it was made in the 70s or 80s, judging by the film quality. No idea about the setting, except I always had the impression that it took place in Brazil or Argentina, though that could just be my imagination. In any case, either everybody spoke English or I was watching a dub. -I think the protagonist is a detective or investigator. -Four guys are carrying a lidless casket filled with water and with a naked man inside down the stairs of some courtyard. -There's a love scene in an apartment between the protagonist and a woman. The apartment is bathed in a reddish light. -Towards the end, someone says to the protagonist something about holograms and illusions.

This really isn't much to go on.. but I seem to recall a scene from what I believe to be a horror movie, and this part involved this creepy bit involving this old painting called 'Sunday in the Park', and basically, it zooms in on this one kid (I think) in the painting, and the face is very scary/distorted. Anyone? This is the painting in question.

My friend and I wanted to see if you guys could help us out with a movie. I think it was made in the 80s and it was pretty cheesy. It involved a bunch of skaters fighting each other with various weapons in a half pipe. It was sort of graphic at the time. They had chains and bags full of metal hitting each other when they crossed paths in the half pipe. Any help would be appreciated because I'm completely stumped on this one.
