I do not remember what the movie is about but I'm going to guess drugs. There is a scene where a charachter is describing the importance of the type of string and knot used to tie a balloon filled with drugs so that it will not open after being swallowed and before being released. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Around 10-12 years ago (at least) I was channel surfing and started to watch something on the Sci-Fi channel. I didn't watch the movie long, because it was absurd in the worst possible way and had that cheap, over-saturated, blue lighting that TV sci-fi movies have that makes me feel ill. Anyway, the only scene I saw had a stereotypical 80s/90s drug dealer character with slicked back hair, white suit and a black handkerchief in his pocket. He was in a warehouse explaining to some gathered bad guys that his plan was to export dolls into America and when the dolls were melted down, they would turn into drugs. At this point, I think he melted a doll down and did some blow and then I think he got hosed up by the wall exploding and the hero coming in. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I watched this movie maybe ten years ago, I can't even remember when or where. I remember vaguely some scenes that stood out for me: There's a line of people applying for recruitment for a secret mission (this is during WWII I think). Two, maybe three, of them get accepted for this mission. One of the guys who doesn't get accepted, it turns out, was a spy for the Germans all along. The mission is to blow up a factory. Don't remember what it makes, maybe rockets, but it was pretty key to the war effort. The guy who didn't get accepted remembers the faces of the others who were standing in line with him, including the ones who were accepted. This latter group is infiltrated into the factory...one of them as a janitor I think. But the German spy blows their covers because he recognizes them. At the climax, one of the men, desperately evading capture, manages to turn on a searchlight or some other light source in the factory before he dies, which allows the Allied air force to bomb the factory.

Here are some vague impressions. A guy in a postal worker's suit. (I'm not talking about The Postman  ) Mutants. Gladiators. Somebody lives in a doghouse. If I ever discover what movie this is I'm going to renounce all worldly possessions. I think I probably saw it in a dream. P.S., if it helps I definitely watched it before ~2000 AD.

This one's been bugging me for a while -- it's a fairly recent film, probably Euro or maybe Latin American. All I remember is a longish scene in a bar. A woman and man are facing the camera, and the entire scene is them whispering to each other, but we can't hear anything they say.

The setting is rural (possibly medieval) China. A group of girls hang themselves at the end of the film. The narrator(?) tells us that two families argued for days or weeks who was to keep the rope. This is likely the final sentence of that movie.

Can someone please tell me the name of the film comprised of nothing but long, wide, static shots of locations wherein people occasionally interact, though nothing about their interaction is obvious to the audience? That is literally all I know about this movie: scenes of interminable static shots of small middle-distance landscapes where people show up, do something, and leave. It sounds just vague enough to be identifiable, doesn't it? e: VVV Jesus love and keep you, FFD. pill for your ills fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Dec 17, 2010 |

This is driving me nuts. About 15-20 years ago I saw a movie on TV. About the only thing I don't remember is the name. Synposis of plot: During Early WW2 a group of Nazi prisoners in a British POW camp are planning to escape. The antagonist is the ranking German. Tasked to stop them is the protagonist a British intelligence officer. The British know the Germans are up to something, and know they're passing information thru thier letters home but can't break the code. Enter the protagonist. Movie ends in fairly predictable fashion, code is broken just in time to catch the just escaped Nazis on thier way to meet up with a U-boat lurking off the coast. Movie is colour, looks like it could have been filmed any time between the late 60s to early 80s. Googling plot points, looking up "definitive" set in WW2 movie lists has turned up nothing for me.

barbudo posted:Here are some vague impressions. What was the tone of the movie? Was it campy or serious? also, X-posting from gibbis: So this is a movie I saw latenight on some cable station in maybe 2004 and for the longest time I thought it was Lord of Illusions, but I've seen that and its definitely not the same film. Some details might be fuzzy, it was late and I may have been pretty high. I don't know when it was made, but If I went off special effects it was either a normal budget 80's movie or a low budget 90's flick. Basically what I remember is that there were two wizards who I think are the main characters. And one is a good wizard who is sort of a normal guy and the other one is a evil wizard who is more campy. They have some magical fight over the fate of a city and there is some prophecy that has to be fulfilled. I think at some point a kid (maybe the main characters son?) gets kidnapped. And I think the villain is black because I remember that being odd (not a lot of black guys in fantasy movies). I also think that the wizards were trained by the same master. The other movie is even more vague. I know I saw it sometime after 2003 and that it was a medieval period piece. I seem to remember it not having a lot of plot and mainly featuring a guy walking around in the woods. At some point he finds the body of a warrior or knight and takes his armor/gear. It had very pretty shots of the mountains and stuff.

Hello, thread! I am searching for a movie. I only remember one from it! This must have been the mid or late 90s when I saw it, and I was probably watching it on the UPN tv channel. Perhaps the movie is older, I'm not sure. It was definitely a black movie (meaning, starring mostly black people), possibly a Spike Lee joint. The scene is this: our protagonist(?) is in his room, pacing back and forth, while the camera is nearly top-down; a bird's eye view of the dude and his room. The soundtrack becomes very prominent, and I believe the track is Eric B & Rakim's Microphone Fiend. Probably the plot at this point is that our protagonist is trying to write some rhymes?? I'm not sure. That's all I've got! Can someone help me?

This has been bothering me for so long, but it just came to the surface again in a discussion with a friend. I want to know the name of this one movie that featured five men sitting around a table, discussing these weird dreams in which they died in strange and horrible ways, befitting how horrible they were in the dreams. I'm certain John Cleese was in it, but everything I looked up with him doesn't reveal anything so maybe I'm mistaken. In the story I think was Cleese's, it had him as an extreme obsessive compulsive that beat his wife if she didn't do things exact to the letter, and after an extremely stressful day of nothing going right, she kills him when he gets home and puts his body parts in neat, small jars. In another, a magician and his wife kill this one woman for her magic rope so he could include it in his act. Another had a man faking his death for insurance money, but his accomplish deciding to take the money and leave him buried in his grave instead of digging him out. And the last one had an artist gaining the ability that, whatever he paints or does to his paintings, comes true to whomever he painted. So he uses it as a way of getting back at three people that screwed him over. In the end it is revealed they aren't actual dreams, but them constantly reliving their final moments and having to discuss them, before they remember they actually happened and before their souls could return to their graves.

DONT DO IT posted:It sounds a lot like Highlander 3 to me. Well poo poo. Thats the only Highlander movie I thought I hadn't seen. Which makes sense, the only Highlander I'd seen at that point was like two episodes of the TV show. The fact that they were Highlanders makes so much more sense why googling "Black wizard kidnapping movie" didn't get me anywhere.

Ok, this is bugging me. It's a movie (I'm assuming) I'd seen multiple times on television when I was younger, maybe in the late 90s. The part I really remember was that there was this alien pod or shell type thing and it's in a government base or something, and they plug a computer into it and talk to it or try to talk to it, or control it, with the computer. I'm pretty sure the computer had a command line interface and the screen may have been green on black like old computers were. Eventually they have to rush to stop something happening and I think the alien thing gets out and starts attacking people. The pod was, I think, like football shaped and green. Any ideas? (it's not Sphere)

zombieman posted:There's a scene like that in Moontrap: Doesn't look like this is it. Just flipped through the whole movie (it's on youtube) and it's not what I remember.  It looks like this is the football shaped alien thing in Moontrap, and that is way smaller than what I remember. The one I'm thinking of was a lot bigger, like a small car or something, and in the movie they had all these wires hooked to it along with the computer. I think most of the movie was about trying to manipulate the alien pod and a lot of the drama was about them trying to hack into it or something like that and a large part of the movie was spent in the room with the pod thing.

I specifically remember the pod being greenish and ugly and I definitely remember the alien attacking people. It's most likely a lovely b-movie since I seemed to have watched a lot of those on tv when I was younger (hell, it might even be made for tv, I don't know) edit - The alien may have been bug-like. Thinking about it it may have been "inspired" by Alien, or Aliens.

The fact that you say you saw it multiple times suggests to me that if it wasn't a made for TV movie it was an episode of a TV show. I'm thinking its probably from the 90's reboot of The Outer Limits.
