Saw a bit of this, and can't find it to watch the rest. It's a black and white movie, but fairly contemporary, shot in the noir style. It's a musical. It is narrated by a streetcar operator named Johnny, and centers around his doomed love and marriage with a lounge singe named Eve Peyton. One memorable scene is where she decides to go perform at the club on their wedding night. When asked if she couldn't have booked it off, she coldly replies: "What makes you think I want to?" It was a fairly dark and surreal movie, and could have been a NFB or other independent movie. Edit: Better details and typo fix. Vergeh fucked around with this message at 16:21 on May 4, 2010 |

If you got the character name right it's highly indepedant since the only character named Eve Peyton was a nurse in ER according to IMDB. It's obviously not a Street Car Named Desire so this sounds something really indie. Black and white musicals that were made in the last twenty years are pretty unheard of. Wish imdb had a better search routine since black white, musical denoated to years would have been quite handy.

I just seem to remember that nobody knows what the button does at all. Almost like the button in the Wonka-vater, where nobody has ever pressed it. In "The Box" and "Button, Button" it is explained what the button does.

Please help, my lady friend is trying to remember a movie where someone shushes someone else, putting there finger over the person's mouth and smushing it all around. From a comedy, she thinks Dumb & Dumber but I'm not so sure. I seem to remember a girl doing it to a guy...?

Saw about a few minutes of this on TCM the other morning, but had to leave before I could find out what it is. It's a silent film, probably late-20s if I were to guess, and the scene I saw had an older man, 40s/50s, sitting in front of the fireplace in his house, cooking his dinner. A younger woman comes in, tells the man, named George, about how her husband died, and asks the man to marry her. The man says no, something about how he's tired of love and life, or something like that. Judging by the clothes they were wearing, I think it was set in the 1820s/1830s.

Black and white film ... woman is in what I believe was a confessional booth and a man is lighting matches and throwing them at her as an intimidation tactic. I should know this, but I can't recall which film it was and it's bothering me.

I don't know if this this was a theatrical release or a made for tv movie when I was a kid, but this was probably released in the late 80s/early 90s. There was an author guy. Tall, lanky, blonde hair, glasses. He got sucked into a book that he was writing. I think there was a wizard, a princess, a dragon, etc. It's definitely NOT Pagemaster. The movie started out as live-action, then changed to animated after the switch.

Sounds vagely familiar and I have never seen pagemaster. I think it may have been direct to video too. It's not Flight of the Dragons since I don't think that started off live action and there are no live action actors listed.

Here's another one for people who grew up with lovely movies on TV. There was a movie on MTV probably around 1998-1999. I think it was their second made-for-TV movie after 2ge+her. It's about a guy who turns 18 and has sex with his girlfriend on his 18th birthday. She's 15 (or 16). He goes to trial and has to register as a sex offender. Any idea what the movie was?

I've got another, from the early to mid-90's. I can't remember the main plot, but it's set in a post-apocolyptic future, and one of the subplots is about archeologists digging up junk from the 20th century to sell to the small population of rich people. The very first scene is set to the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey as archeologists uncover something big and seemingly monumental. What they're uncovering is obscured and only shown in bits and pieces as the music builds. As the music ends, with all it's triumphant grandeur, the object is finally revealed as it's lifted by a crane to soar across the sky. It's a Frisch's Big Boy statue. There's similar scene later on involving them finding what turns out to be a dildo.

This 20 second clip I saw as a kid in the mid 80s was of a possible conan or nuclear holocaust style film. Basically a woman (not sure, think it was) is hanging upside down tied to a rope. Below her is a spike pit and the rope is set on fire. Not sure if this is a test for her to get out of, or an execution, but she fails and falls into the pit. Theres also a group of people standing arouns watching this.

This movie must have been on dvd between 2000-2005. Everything in the movie took place within a single house if I remember correctly. I don't remember much beyond that though, just little flashes of a couple elements: A man being crazy, police coming to the door, barricading the door, hallucinations or a man being very sick, pills, dropping pills down a drain maybe? I remember finding the movie really boring because I was young and it was such a closed setting but I think I might like it now. Sorry that's not much to go on though.

OK so I have two. The first i remember from a youtube video. It was a long panning shot a really big line of traffic. This goes on for several minutes until it reaches the end revealing a car accident. I think the film was French or maybe even Italian and looked to be made in the 60's or 70s. The second is a film I saw late at night on some lovely channel. It was about this team of computer game developers in competition to make the most evil computer character to something like that. I think a lightning strike hit the building and the video game characters come to life. It was loving awful (as you might guess) and it looked like it was made in the mid to late 90s.

I'm looking for an American movie that was on some movie channel as early as 1996 or 97... Here's what I remember: - main character had to get a job where he needed a suit, and his boss lent him a tie for some reason. He had black hair and was all serious. I think his job was in sales of something. - he had an awkward roommate, a little chubby, glasses, light brown or blonde hair. - the roommate possibly killed himself for some reason? Geez, I know that's barely any information... Sorry and thanks in advance!

Cross posting from the help remember stuff thread in GBS... I'm trying to remember/find a short film I saw a long rear end time ago (several years). The premise was that all the forests had been cut down and so fairytale creatures had to move to the city (Hollywood or LA i think). There was a normal human guy who was dating a fairy or vampire or something, and the point of the movie was that he had to go finally meet her family. All I remember is that the girls mother was called baba yaga, the girls sister was addicted to heroin, there was a talking mouse that "helped" the guy on his quest to impress the family, and one part of the quest involved an endless pile of salt/sugar. I think I first saw it on Atom films which seems to be called atom.com now and doesn't even deal with independent film any more as far as I can tell.

I think (but I'm not positive) that this may have aired on Sci-Fi's Exposure. I just vaguely remember it, but the bit about Baba Yaga rings a bell. Also, I'm pretty sure Exposure had some of involvement with Atom Films, so that makes me a little more confident. However, I can't seem to find a list of films that aired on Exposure. SyFy has killed their exposure site, IMDB's episode list doesn't seem to contain any information on the films that were shown, and worst of all, some dickhead deleted Wikipedia's List of Exposure films page.

Not that it makes it any easier to find, but at least I have a name.
