I can't remember if this was a movie or an episode of a twilight zone or outer limits type show. Some guy is driving and comes to a small town with a lighthouse. No one wants to help the guy because at night the lighthouse shines on someone's window, marking them for death or worse. I think there was a doctor who tries helping the guy and gets marked by the lighthouse because of it. I don't remember anything else. I saw it on tv in the late 80s or early 90s. I was reminded of it by an episode of the anime Melody of Oblivion with a similar evil lighthouse theme.

My friend has 2 movies he watched as a kid that he cannot find (they may have been TV episodes). The first is about a kid who finds out that aliens have built an underground base in his backyard, and sometimes pop out through a hole. They look kind of like Kuato from Total Recall and make weird noises instead of speaking. His parents don't believe him, but the FBI somehow finds out and shows up at the same times he goes into the base and narrowly escapes. They then blow the base up with a missile. The second has a guy buying a necklace from a street vendor, who warns him that, "You can't handle this." The necklace makes him start to spontaneously and uncontrollably shapeshift into various people at certain times. At one point, he goes to his girlfriend's/wife's place while turned into an old lady. She punches him in the face, and his head disintegrates and the stump spurts yellow goo. Do either of these exist?

Late 1970s to early 1980s Sci-Fi movie. The main bad guy looks like Skeletor, but its not Masters of the Universe. I think it had sort of a desert-like setting.

Alright, my brothers and I have been trying to identify a movie we saw years ago, probably in 1995. Its science fiction, takes place in a ruined city (maybe post apocalyptic Earth), its main protagonists are a group of younger adults that wear space suits/armor. Each one of the protagonists (there's probably four or five of them) have the cliche'd unique ability that comes along with their suit of armor(one that we can remember is a stereotypical big guy, has a large suit of armor that has a gun on one arm). We're not sure exactly, but we think a few of them had rocket packs on. There's an over-all bag guy, but you mainly see his right-hand bird-bot thing. The bird-bot thing is metal and shiny, with glowing red eyes that (we think) can shoot lasers. Plus, he's got some sweet wings and can fly (if anyone remembers the cartoons Gargoyles, he looks like a robot one of them). It was probably a direct to VHS movie, and would be in the ratings range of G to PG. There might be two or three of them in the series, but the third might have been canceled. Release dates were probably between 1990 and 1995. At the moment, that's all we can think of. We've been scouring the internet for anything, but nothing has yielded results. So now I turn to you, my fellow goons. Please put this mystery to rest.

There is this movie where a man falls in love with a ghost, but when he has sex with her, she turns into a nasty corpse. The good news is, somehow his wife who he doesn't get a long with changes places with the lady ghost and gets it on with the ghosts husband. Happy ending for all. As torrid as it sounds, I think it was supposed to be a family friendly happy movie. Then again, my parents let me watch weird things. I also think this part of the movie was only a small part of the rest of the story which I can't remember. If anyone can remember the rest of the movie, please let me know. I'm guessing the movie was made in the 80s to early 90s. Also, I'm trying to remember an animated flick with huge telepathically talking snails. What the hell was it even about? It still haunts my childhood memories.

Can someone clue me in here; I'm looking for the title of a movie released (in the UK at least) in 2007. I don't think it was a huge film. It was about WW1 or WW2 and title is something like "Letters From..." or "Greetings From..."?

I think the title is Legend of something. It's a movie where a story is being told by a man as he cuts up fish to sell. The story is about a "Silky" (a seal that can turn into a woman) that a man falls in love with. The man takes the Silkys skin while she is a woman so that she is stuck in woman form forever. Forever until she finds the skin in the attic and swims away. There are also two children in the movie, a sister and a brother. I think they were referred to as darkies or something. The boy had a cradle/boat thing that he puttered around the ocean in. Really bugging me, its a terrible movie but I need to know. edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Roan_Inish. It has 100% on rottentomatoes and it's been atleast 10 years since I saw it so maybe it actually is good and I just didnt know it at the time.

I'm looking for the name of a Kung-Fu movie I saw on the USA network some fifteen years ago. The plot (or what I remember of it--I was fourteen at the time) concerns a group of ninja bandits who take the roles of the five elements (air, water, fire, earth, and gold(?) and proceed to slaughter a kung-fu dojo. The sole survivor must learn the ways of the ninja to defeat the elements. One ridiculous scene has the avenging kung-fu ninja and a bunch of compatriots surfing on the water to defeat one of the elements. I think he dies at the end. Any assistance would be appreciated.

A movie I really want to see again. Genre: American martial arts Seen on: premium movie channel circa mid 90's This is a movie type that needs to be made much more often. Some nerd in high school or college learns martial arts from an asian master and beats up the school bully. In the vein of The Karate Kid, Sidekicks, and Showdown, we have this masterpiece. Such notable features include: A professor is teaching a class on Neanderthal man. The nerd walks in carrying his backpack in such a way that he looks just like the illustration of the Neanderthal. The class laughs at him. The nerd learning acupuncture/accupressure from the master. The nerd tries to mack on a girl in a hot tub with this accupuncture/accupressure skills. I think there was another nerd and another girl in this movie because then they were in the hot tub talking about the big conflict fight at the end where the girl was worried that he would get beat up but the guy said not to worry because the first nerd challanged the bully to fight the traditional way with hands wrapped in broken glass, and the girl was freaking out because the bully would totally accept that challange, so they run out of the hot tub to try and stop the fight. I'm pretty sure we get our standard fight with broken glass hands and that wraps it up, but I really want to know what the hell this movie is, and where I can get a copy of it.

I'm trying to remember the name of a hilariously terrible martial arts movie I rented a few years ago. It was most likely from the 80s, but it was really low budget, so I can't be sure exactly. Here's what I do remember about the movie: -I'm pretty sure it was made in Hong Kong, although I'm not 100% sure of this. It was definitely foreign and had a lot of Asians in it. -The protagonist is a white guy who looked like he's probably Armenian or at least ethnically central Asian. He's a ninja. -His partner (also a ninja) is a black guy, who gets killed by the evil ninjas early in the movie. -I think there was some sort of a plot about an evil corporation, possibly kicking people out of their homes, I believe this corporation was run by ninjas. -A lot of the movie also focused on a cop, and most of the police parts of the movie didn't look like they fit in very well (almost like it was two movies spliced together). -People in the movie would change into ninja costumes via a really cheap looking smoke explosion and a crappy splice. -Here's the thing about the movie I definitely remember: the police in the movie never wear anything resembling police uniforms, or drive police cars (I'm guessing there was a legal reason behind this wherever it was shot, or it may have just had that little budget). It possibly had ninja somewhere in the title, but I'm not totally sure. I used to rent movies based on how many ninjas were on the cover (which always resulted in entertainment), and this was probably the funniest one I saw, if you like campy low-budget action movies.

Ok, two films (might be one, but I remember two scenes, totally unrelated). One had whoopi goldberg in a dentist's chair, and the (male) dentist was leaning in to work on her mouth, and his crotch ended up being pushed against her hand. She seemed to enjoy it, I don't think he noticed, oddly enough. Another scene/movie, some guy is on the phone, talking about something obviously intense, as he seems REALLY upset. Right in the middle of his conversation, an operator comes online and asks him to put another 25 cents in (or another amount) to the phone to continue his conversation. The guy loses it, screaming "WHAT? THIS IS NOT A PAY PHONE!!!"

The Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm had a gag where their isolated farm house's phone connection was flagged as a public phone so he had to try and trick them into thinking he deposited coins. However, the nature of the scene didn't lead to the operater coming in during the middle of a coversation, so perhaps not.

When I say low-budget, I don't mean American B-movie, I mean sub-Troma budget. And I'm almost positive it was shot in another language an dubbed, or so cheap that the dialogue was all added in with ADR. There is a chance it was just a cheap American movie, but American Ninja is high enough quality it still is (or at least was) shown regularly on TV. It very well could have been a straight to video knockoff of American Ninja, though. And I don't think Michael Dudikoff ever had a ridiculous Borat-esque mustache.

Sounds like a Richard Harrison Ninja film. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0365835/ In the 80's he made several Ninja films with Godfrey Ho, probably the worst director in all of Asia. Godfrey would film an actor for one movie, then take all the unused footage of the actor and splice it into any other unfinished movies he had. He paid you for 1 film and you starred in 8. Sorry I can't narrow it down any more, but the reusing of the footage makes it hard to tell the films apart. Here's a trailer for Ninja Dragon with Richards mustache in all its action-packed glory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehPt6zqqyrM

This is a fairly recent movie, near the start there is a scene with a rich sports personality driving/speeding while drunk or high or something, and he gets pulled over and makes a big scene which gets on TV. I don't think the movie isn't about him though, just the start.

I didn't recognize any of the actors (although some of that could be just because of not remembering them), but the style of fighting, the look of the ninja suits, and the teleportation/transforming "effects" are definitely the same as the movie I saw. edit: The name "Ninja Master Gordon" rings a bell, too.
