You guy have come through for me once in the past, and I'm hoping to put the nail in the coffin of this memory. Here's what I remember from this film:

I only recall one scene. And not all that well. It's a sci-fi film, I think. There were humans with cyborg parts or something. Anyway, some people are in a cavern or something and there's this girl who's probably a cyborg too. The guy that's with her goes out with other dudes to fight or something, and leaves her alone with some other guy. And when that same guy comes back he checks some LED light on the girl which tells him that the guy he left with her did something to her. He says "You just couldn't keep your hands off her, could you?"

I know that's super vague but that's all I recall. I saw it over 10 years ago, so it's not recent.

Perhaps one of the Cyborg or Nemesis movies?

Say what now?
I'm looking for one I saw during a summer camp when I was in high school in 2006. It was an older movie that had a 70s/80s feel to it. I think the plot had something to do with a guy in a chicken suit running around murdering people. I believe one of the characters was a tough, Fonz type (but not played for laughs) who wore a black leather jacket but I might be wrong on that. The whole movie was very, very cheesy and if I remember correctly in the end the guy in the chicken suit was a hallucination of some sort brought on by a drug binge. I think there was then a speech about how drugs were bad and you shouldn't do them and you should turn to Jesus instead. I am very hazy on the details and can barely remember any of it.

Anyway that isn't much to go on but I was just going to see if it sounds familiar to anyone.

I barely remember this, but I saw a movie on late-night showcase or CBC or something back in the day (I was probably about 11 or 12).

The movie was set/filmed in the 60s or 70s based on what I can remember, and it involved this guy who was an architect or something. The only real scene I can remember was him laying there daydreaming about this dome, and it turned into a sideview of a girl's tit with the nipple at the top. It was like he was obsessed with tits, or inspired by them.

I know this isn't much to go on, but I'm sure if any of you know this movie, you'll know this scene.

Hey, Ive got a fuzzy image of a movie thats being bothering me since I was 8, the plot was something along the lines of a 10 year old kid finds some sort of bio metallic alien suit that has a mind of its own, it was sent to earth to avoid being destroyed in a war or something. Anyway the kid can't get out (of the suit) and ends up fighting some alien rip-off with the suit because the suit is the most powerful thing in the universe or some poo poo like that.
There was also a scene where the kid gets his teacher to unscrew the suit so he can take a piss.

Thats about all I can remember (also the suits face is stuck a mile down the uncanny valley) I saw it about ten years a go on television, it didn't look much older than, say, 1990.

Does anybody remember and old movie from 10-20 years ago that had a cartoon rooster and a live action flash flood?

I remember the flash flood being a big plot point, with sand bags and all that. I believe that a kid got caught in the flash flood, almost died, and had an adventure with the cartoon characters.

I also remember that THIS MOVIE WAS A DEFINING PART OF MY CHILDHOOD but I don't recall anything further about it and my Google-fu is weak today.

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 don't even know if this movie exists, I remember someone describing the plot in the past though, this also could be spoilers, I don't know. Anyways, a person gets arrested for murdering his parents or something, but he didn't actually do it. They interrogate him until he starts to believe he actually did it because they keep saying like, you came home and murdered him with this knife etc. It sounds like a mix of 12 Angry Men and In The Name Of The Father.

This one may be a very long shot since I was the movie close to 20 years ago. This does contain spoilers because I didn't know how else to describe it!



It was when the Disney channel was pretty new in the U.S. and played a few more young adult oriented movies at night. It must have been in the early 90's and the movie looked fairly new to me at the time of viewing. I remember it being the weekend and I kept the TV on while I slept. I woke up at about 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. I got stuck in this movie and I didn't sleep until the next night.

I remember the movie had actors that spoke in either a British or Australian accent (I was young and in East Tennessee- I couldn't tell them apart). The movie opened with a disembodied head following this kid around screaming "Barnaby Jones is dead" until the kid eventually fainted. He woke up and it was all a dream, only to discover Barnaby Jones was a distant relative who had died that night. They venture to his estate and the family learn that old uncle Barnaby was a freak with all sorts of supernatural powers and he discovered that these powers were genetic and he had spent his life trying to figure out what kid from that family had them too. The whole movie you're led to believe it's the kid from the opening scene, only to discover it's his sister and keeping these powers secret has driven her nearly insane- as old Barnaby went insane.

The whole movie is creepy as gently caress in my memory and I would love to see it again just to see what the gently caress was going on from an adult perspective. I've searched for years to no avail.

Thanks to anyone who gives it a shot.

There was a movie I heard about on here a long while back; I wrote down the title but then lost it, so hopefully someone can identify it for me. It was about a paranoid guy who becomes convinced that his boss is an alien, so he kidnaps his boss and tries to force him to confess.

Are you sure it wasn't an X-Files episode? That's the exact plot of the episode "Folie a Deux."

This sounds a lot like Save the Green Planet!, a spectacularly off-the-wall and amazing Korean movie.

I don't think so; the original poster said it was a full-length film that was largely about the imprisonment aspect and that he often watched with friends so that he could enjoy their "what-the-christ" reactions.

If it was slightly comedic (a guy in the bathroom mistaking her convulsions for being really really ready to have sex) then it might be "If Looks Could Kill".

In this case, it would be Carole Davis who might be remembered as being Asian I suppose.

Black Gold!

I just remembered this horror movie I saw a few years back. It had a terrible B-movie vibe to it with no-name actors, so I know it wasn't a big Hollywood production. It could have been straight to video for all I know, but I saw it on cable way back when.

All I remember is a group(?) of friends go hiking in some forest and come across a horribly inbred and deformed human monster thing that may have been a vengeful spirit of some sort. The kicker is he drove a giant armored monster truck from hell that ran each of them over one by one until it's just a single girl that's left. I think she somehow makes it to civilization and runs across a detective(?) who is investigating all the disappearances around the county and happens to know of inbred monster truck driver. They both go back into the forest and find a lone cabin in the woods that was once inhabited by inbred guy and find a man in a wheelchair with no legs that taunts them both over and over again, "He's gunna git'cha, hahahaha!" I think the wheelchair guy may have been the father of the inbred monster truck driver. I think dad or lone girl gets eviscerated somehow, and there may have been some witchcraft involved in that, but don't quote me on that.

The main thing is the deformed inbred guy driving an armored monster truck from hell chasing people down that wander into his forest.

It was in the spirit of the Witch Mountain movies but I had both of those on VHS and it definitely wasn't those. There were no aliens and this movie looked a lot newer.

There was a scene at the very end where the girl created a miniature universe and was spinning the earth with her finger. The mother asked what she was doing and she said "Playing Spinning the World" and there was a discussion about how it was a dangerous game and she shouldn't use her powers like that or to control people. I don't know why but that scene really sticks out in my head. There was another scene from the childhood of Barnaby Jones where he reached into a wooden table and pulled out what looked like a whittled animals. The wood turned all watery and sort of viscous while he was "forming" it.

Thanks for the try though!
