It's an animated short that is probably either Italian or from the National Film Board (Canada), saw it in a film class several years ago.

Fairly simple drawing style (not anime at all), I think most of the screen and its background were a blank or pale yellow color.

The gist of it was that there's two cavemen, one figures out how to make a club or use a rock to hurt the other guy. Then the other guy invents a bow and arrow, etc. The two sides go through history, medieval knights fighting, then guns, then rockets, and then I think it may have ended with a huge nuke or something.

I remember it being a pretty cool little thing, it's not Bozzetto's Tapum! A History of Arms/Weapons.

e: the whole thing was basically one scene, there were no cutaways to developing or discovering weapons, they just pulled them out from behind them, etc.

I think Beauty and the Beast should have ended on this scene, because I don't understand symbolism in film and I am literally incapable of recognizing foreshadowing.
I watched something when I was a kid where some guy goes into the sewer and the next day the place where he went in was cemented over and he is trapped. I don't even know if this was a movie, it could have been a TV show or something.

OK bear with me here, I have been trying to find out the name of this movie forever now without any success. It was in Italian which makes locating it really difficult. I figure if anyone might recognized it, it would be CineD.

Three years ago, I took a study-abroad art class in Italy. When we arrived in Rome, I roomed with two friends of mine at this lovely hotel. It was here that I saw one of the strangest, most poorly made movies ever.

The plot revolved around a group of cocaine traffickers and some generic hero guy who tried to stop them. The leader of the traffickers wore a boar tooth necklace and a denim vest and looked a bit like Art Garfunkel with muscles. Hero guy and Garfunkel served in some kind of war together where Garfunkel proved himself to be a huge dick by executing children. The child-murder scene is so ineptly shot that is really sort of funny. Basically, one of Garfunkel's henchmen launches a kid in the air and Garfunkel blasts him with a pistol before he hits the ground. Then, I swear to God, the henchman throws another child in there and it's the same kid just in a different shirt. This begins a montage of that same kid being shot over and over but wearing different shirts each time.

I should mention that the soundtrack consists of one porno-esque synth song looped for the duration of the movie. This applies even to the gang-rape scene. Yes, there is a gang-rape scene. Garfunkel (always the rear end in a top hat) and his four buddies break into the house of Hero's nun friend and rape the crap out of her for like 20 minutes. After the last trafficker is done, Garfunkel shoots the nun in the head.

Hero is naturally pissed and begins a increasingly confusing revenge. He confronts the traffickers in the jungle and begins picking them off one by one. Instead of shooting actual footage of Hero in the jungle, the film is content to recycle the exact same shot of him climbing a cliff twice in ten minutes. That's right, something Grindhouse did as joke this movie does for real.

Hero kills all of the traffickers except Garfunkel and some old guy. Garfunkel then stabs the old guy for no apparent reason causing him to dramatically yell "Bastardo!". Long story short, after a really poorly shot chase scene, Hero kills Garfunkel by slamming his head in the door of a truck.

If anyone knows what the hell this movie is called I'd be really shocked and really grateful.

I saw this one as a kid in the 80īs on VHS, only thing i remember about the plot is a woman on a sort of murder spree, possibly with lesbian friends. There is one scene where she is caught and stands trial and gets rescued in the courtroom by possible lesbian friends. During the escape one of the girls gets pulled down by a guard over the fence as she tried to cross it, and gets staked.
I also remember a scene where the woman shoots a guy on the dick with a shotgun.
The scenes mentioned made a lasting impression on little me, and its stuck, any ideas? (ive may have made up the lesbian part, not sure)

Oh no!😱

I've been trying to track this one down off and on for a while, with no luck. I had it taped off BBC 2 (in the UK) where it was shown as part of some animation season, probably in the early-mid 90s.

It was animated, the character designs looked like they were in a similar style to Fido Dido, with white pupil-less eyes, wavy lines for hair and so on. It was about 2 guys (brothers) and their dog.

I really dont remember that much about the story, I think it was pretty ubsurdist, and involved the brothers fleeing from villains with guns. The end of the movie it shows that the brothers have been telling their story are now hanging on hairhooks (a hook by which one is hung by the hair) in hell, and features the line "And thats how we came to be here, hanging on a hairhook in hell". Then their dog busts through the wall of hell driving a bus, rescues them, and the villains (somehow) end up hanging on hairhooks instead.

I swear to god I'm not making this up, nor did I dream it. My brother remembers it too, but doesnt remember any more details than I do.

I need help identifying a terrible movie.

This is all that I saw (you'll understand why we didn't watch more!).

There are teenagers camping (sitting around a motorhome camper), drinking and getting high. One guy goes off to pee, gets lost, and witnesses a motorcycle gang of satan cannibals around a fire asking these captured naked women if they want to be purged by the fire (or something). The 3 that say no are attacked/bit by the guys holding them.

The teenager who sees this is a reporter and starts taking photos on his blackberry, drops it and gets found as his friend calls him on the walkie-talkie... they chase him back to the campsite, they capture a bunch of the people and start biting them.... except for the one girl who is wearing a special necklace. They take her as a gang member (against her will).

What horrible movie is this?

Post Edit.... Forgot to say I saw it on TV (cable) a few weeks ago.

I tried this a few years back and didn't get any hits, so I figured I'd try again:

I remember seeing a really low-budget sci-fi movie on premium cable around 1996 or so. Only one scene really stuck in my head, which was set on a spaceship or planetary base and involved a small, pretty phallic alien forcing its way down a crew member's throat.

Last time someone suggested The Hidden, which seemed familiar, but not exactly what I was thinking of. It's possible I might have conflated that one with another movie, but maybe not.

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie that I watched about 10 years ago on either IFC or the Sundance channel. I believe it was set in Australia, but I could be wrong. For some reason, a man is harassed by a local dickhead cop, and the man stands his ground. The man stays in his farmhouse (with his girlfriend) and this results in a huge standoff with authorities. Near the end of the film, his friends and his supporters camp out on his farmland while the police continue trying to negotiate with him. A police sniper accidentally shoots the mans dog, but it lives and gets patched up. I can't remember much beyond that. I would be eternally grateful to the person that helps me identify this. Thanks in advance!

I think I've seen this, but the name escapes me. I think it ends with the authorities making a deal with him that they'll let him off all charges if he agrees to sign up for the army (I think the vietnam war was ongoing and because the guy had been made into a local hero they thought that it would encourage others to sign up too) not realising that because hes illiterate he wouldnt be eligable for the army anyway (or something like that).

Sometime in the early 90s my grandmother rented a movie for me. I remember the name be "James Bond Jr" but apparently that was an animated series, and this was a live action movie. I don't remember much about it except a scene where the main character makes a flame thrower out of a supersoaker, lighter fluid, and a BBQ match. I think maybe he had a cool high-tech camera too?

Also, this may or may not have been the same movie, but it was about a group of kids running from some bad guys. One of the bad guys was a big dude in a leather trench coat who had a knife that slid out from up his sleeve. At the end of the movie, he got crushed by a log or something, and there's a shot that pans down to the knife and shows his blood dripping off the tip.

Here is a movie I've been trying to dig up since child hood although I never saw it, I may have it mixed up in my mind so it may not exist.

I recall seeing a movie in the video store that seemed to advertise itself as sort of an extream version of Home Alone, I remember the movie had a 15 or 18 rating, probably 18 hence I never got it. The artwork from what I remember showed a kid on the cover with a water gun and wearing sun glasses, in the background was guys dressed in black suits and I think they where standing beside a swimming pool looking around.

I saw this on TV a few years ago:

Plot:
A spaceship crew on a mission to wherever awaken from hibernation to find their captain (someone who's job was to wake up a week or so prior to everyone else to get things set up) had hung himself.
After some digging they find a video (that I think the captain had tried to delete) of the population of Earth being wiped out in a nuclear war during their hibernation.

This leads to tensions between the crew (who're a bunch of multinationals), maybe another suicide or two, etc... Until it is revealed that one of the crew (A British woman) is an android and that this has been a training scenario and that they never infact took off from earth. Something goes wrong and they have to fight the android (there may have been more than one) and all but two of the crew die to stop the android/end the training scenario.

However upon getting out of the lab where the scenario was taking place they step into the real world and find out that while the training mission had occured there was in fact a nuclear war that wiped out everyone, I think the final scene is the image od a destroyed new york.

Date: It looked late 80s-mid 90s

This will either be easy or hard:

I just watched Fincher's Zodiac for the second time and for some reason I feel like I missed a scene. I thought for some reason Ruffalo's character is onto the Zodiac (after the Zodiac used a phone from a booth) and when Ruffalo goes to get the prints from the phone, he accidentally smears them out of being nervous and as a result, the prints are ruined. Did I miss a scene or is this from a different movie? Or did I just happen to read this and somehow imagined this as a scene from Zodiac or a different movie?
