Goddamnit, why do all these movies suck? I bet I'm going to go back and check and it's going to turn out that Batteries Not Included was made by a team of Nazi scientists or something.

I'm trying to figure out the name of this movie. The only thing I can remember is that it beings with a bunch of cops outside an apartment. There's a hostage situation inside where some punk has an uzi to his girlfriend. Our hero, a cop, comes up to the door. I think his partner is on the otherside. Someone says the line, "He's got his girlfriend hostage. He's smoking ice." Then they charge the room. The hero kills the bad guy but I think the partner dies in the process. Then the movie begins from there. Any thoughts on what this is? It's killing me.

Can someone help me find a Steve McQueen movie I caught some bits and pieces of (I'm pretty sure it was Steve McQueen, at least). Anyway, it was a pretty action-packed crime movie with some cool car chases. At the end of the movie, the villain-guy tries to set the protagonist on fire by covering him with straw, though I believe he gets interrupted. I believe the movie is from the 70s. I saw part of it 4ish years ago on DVD (I believe; could have been VHS).

That actually sounds like a pretty good description of To Live and Die in L.A., with William Petersen, Willem Dafoe, and Ira from Mad About You.

Hi folks. I thought i'd post my question here. --- I'm struggling to remember a movie. It's your typical movie college classroom with the stadium style seating. There is a professor with dark brown hair and glasses (iirc) and he is lecturing and all of the sudden he starts babbling gibberish and then claws at his face. I think he ends up dead and the cops come in and start investigating. The investigation turns out that he had some kind of poison in his system that made him do it. It was fairly recent, within the past 5 years. I can't recall any of the actors. I believe other people ended up getting sick with same poison, but can't be positive. That's about all I can remember. Help? This is driving me crazy!

Sorry for how vague this is, but that's what this thread is all about I guess! I saw a movie as a young teen, so about 10 - 15 years ago and it was some kind of thriller. The main plot point was this LOST-like hatch that the characters found and went into for some reason (I think they were planning on having a party?) Anyway something happens and they end up trapped in the hatch. That's about all I can remember, sorry!!

Jeepers Creepers has a scene like that with a big pipe opening, and it would have been in theaters about ten years ago.

I saw about 2 minutes of a movie on cable roughly eight years ago, where a bunch of men in monster/devil masks were singing the Horst Wessel-Lied (or a similar Nazi-esque song) around a bonfire. Any ideas?

A film (possible TV show episode) seen roughly a decade ago. A bunch of people (maybe slaves) standing around in a desert after they were ejected from what seems to be a prison, the warden shouts to them something along the lines of "You think these walls were built to keep you in? They were built to keep you out!" Please bring me closure.

I saw a movie in the early 90's I believe on HBO. The story revolves around a kid who while being bullied fell and hit his head and went into a coma, so some of the move showed him in a coma with friends and family watching him, but most was about his crazy coma dream involving a Tree House. The scene I remember involves the main character and his crew walking down a deserted road with a road sign to the right(?). I may have asked this in the last thread, but never got an answer.

It sounds like you're describing The Odyssey, though that was a TV show, not a movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odyssey_(TV_series) quote:In the series pilot, 11-year-old Jay tries to join a tree-fort club, led by the tough Keith. As per the pre-arranged agreement, Jay has brought something of value to contribute to the club: a telescope that belonged to his father (who has been missing several years and is presumed dead). However, Keith double-crosses Jay and takes the telescope, denying him admission into the club. Jay tries to retrieve the telescope with the help of his physically disabled friend Donna, who uses a crutch and a leg brace in order to walk. Jay falls from the tree-fort, however, injuring his head, and lapses into a coma.

Something interesting I just discovered on IMDB while trying to do an advanced search http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Keywords/ They call it "MoKA" (Movie Keyword Analyzer) and it's like a combination stacked search and tag cloud. You start with one keyword, and see all other related keywords that it matches based on frequency. edit: so for example Strand posted:A film (possible TV show episode) seen roughly a decade ago. A bunch of people (maybe slaves) standing around in a desert after they were ejected from what seems to be a prison, the warden shouts to them something along the lines of "You think these walls were built to keep you in? They were built to keep you out!" Here are the searches for "desert" and "prison" keywords together For TV: http://www.imdb.com/keyword/desert/prison/?title_type=tv For Movies: http://www.imdb.com/keyword/desert/prison/?title_type=feature You can then further narrow down by genre, rating, etc etc vanilla slimfast fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Feb 18, 2011 |

I've asked this one before but nobody was able to figure it out: This was an old Shaw Brothers era kung fu movie where a guy is doing pushups while an old white or grey haired master sits on his back, as well as other weird training things, all involving the old master making it more difficult with his weight. It was kinda similar to in Star Wars when Luke has to carry Yoda.

Here's one: an old slasher/horror movie, from the 70's or 80's. A bunch of women/girls, one of them dies due to something they did, and they hush it up. Later they're all invited to this house where they're killed one by one by the father of the dead woman/girl. Anyone know what this was called? I know, horribly obscure b-movie horror...

This could be a lot of things, though. 80s horror loved butchering women en masse.

My query is about a tv show. Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I see no "help me remember the name of this tv show" thread. It was aired on TLC or Discovery, one of the edutainment channels. It was aired somewhere in the time frame of '89-'92, I think more in the '90-'91. It was an American rebroadcast of an English tv show. The show's content was about b-movie/cult movie/horror movies. I remember it being my first exposure to Sam Raimi, the Reanimator series and a movie where cats start to crave human flesh because cat food turns out to be made of human corpses.
