It was filmed for the "American Playhouse Series" and actually starred Gwynne as Charles Dickens.

ClearAirTurbulence posted:I've been trying to find the name of this movie for a long time. Unfortunately, I only saw a few minutes of it towards the end. Reposting now that this thread is getting more activity. I really want to know the name of this movie, though I'm guessing I'll be disappointed if I see the whole thing. Edited to add some more details - I don't think the movie was older than late 1980s - something of the way it filmed outdoor nighttime exteriors screamed early '90s or late '80s. I'm pretty sure the scene with the shovel was at night. There were several other kids present who were being terrorized by the guy with the shovel, felt like most were mid to late teens though there may have been a younger kid too. The kid with the shovel had dark short hair, may have been hispanic. The kid getting whacked was tall and skinny. The production values were pretty good though it could have been a better-than-average made for cable or DTV movie it was high enough quality for a theatrical release.

CGameProgrammer posted:Sometime in the 90s on TV I saw part of a horror movie in which a guy was in a convenience store killing everyone with an axe because he was under some sort of spell that made him think they were all zombies. The victims don't know this and the camera switches from the attacker's POV and the real POV with blood everywhere. What movie was this? This is very close to describing the ending to The Night Flier, he thought they were vampires not zombies though and it was an airport. The scene plays out in the exact same way right down to the axe.

Though the last act did have a very watered-down 80s feel to it.

This one was an Asian movie (I think Japanese but not sure) I saw a clip of on youtube. A bunch of high school students are fighting on the roof of a building (school) It's really one sided where one guy is way outnumbered and getting the poo poo kicked out of him, but he just keeps going and giving as good as he gets. It seemed pretty cool and I'd like to see the rest of it.

I probably saw this movie 15 years ago, so what I remember is really fuzzy. Anyway, what I do remember is there being these robots that would disguise themselves as humans. At one point I remember the main character cutting a woman's hand so he could check if she was human or not. Even though she bled it turned out she was a robot. I also think there was a bunch of snow.

Evil robots - Check Disguised as humans - Check Snow (at least at some points and the ending) - Check Stars RoboCop? - Bonus  Twist ending spoiler. Creepy as hell, if I recall correctly everyone except for Peter Weller turns out to be a robot. Even a Teddy Bear

Ok, this is as vague as it can get, but here it goes. I saw this movie at some point when I was really young, early to mid 90s. It was on a vhs tape. The only two things I can remember are loving it, and a scene where this kid looks into a store window (a bakery?) and some crazy poo poo happens with claymation. I recall the claymation smiling at him at some point. Good luck!

I seem to recall the baked goods smiling before they started shoving themselves in his mouth.

A group of people are held hostage in a warehouse by guys in hazmat outfits. They have guns and cameras recording hostages making statements and then being executed. I don't remember much else, but they might have all died in a fire fight when one of the hostages gets his hands on an uzi.

Random scene just popped into my head. I want to say it was a thriller: hero guy is in the back seat of a car with some thugs, possibly mobsters, and he escapes by biting a guys nose off. He spits it out afterward.

I had a vague memory earlier today. I'm pretty sure it was on Comedy Central in the daytime, but in the 90s when they were mostly running lovely poo poo you've never heard of from the 80s and 70s. Two dudes wind up at the same place, a theatre with a typical theatre name Orpheum, Orpheus, Odeon, pretty sure it started with an O anyway. The two dudes wound up there by figuring out some kind of series of clues. They used different solutions and somehow ended up in the same place. Then they found out that their whole system of solutions was completely hosed, but they happened to end up in the right place by pure chance. I want to say they were detectives, but that might be because they were following clues in a movie which seems to indicate detectives although it could just be a thriller I guess. Although it was on Comedy Central so it was, at least nominally, a comedy. A Thriller Comedy? Detective Comedy seems more likely.

I saw a movie on TV as a child in the 90s that I was only able to catch parts of once. I vaguely remember the hero being a robot or bionic and he was severely damaged toward the end of the movie when his chest-circle-heart thing was damaged. I think he was chased into a warehouse or a rather large building. The antagonist may have been an older male with possibly white hair. The old guy either summoned or turned into this giant monster like Violator from Spawn with a long tail I think. It tore through the building while the hero ran around something like warehouse racks. This is as much as I could gather while I tried to eat dinner fast enough to be allowed to watch it in the living room.

It's a little reversed from what you are looking for (He commits a murder and is discovered by someone watching from below) but it was the closest sounding movie I knew.

Two horror movies, both of which I only saw like one scene of on TV sometime. 1) A man and woman eating dinner in a Chinese restaurant. They're having a good time, then the fortune cookies arrive. He opens his and it says "You are going to die." Note that I am just assuming this is a horror movie. 2) An evil magic guy has a bunch of idiots basically worshipping him, and in a room with tons of broken glass on the ground, he has them walk/crawl on the glass which they do willingly despite the suffering, to show their devotion to him. Then he makes it rain (indoors IIRC) and the rain causes them to be rooted to and absorbed by the floor, sinking into it until only something like their head and an arm sticks out of the floor. The protagonist later walks by them (he might have been there all along as this all happened) and one floor-victim tries to grab him. Also, later in this movie, he and the evil guy fight, because the protagonist was the evil guy's apprentice once since he was "the only one worthy" unlike the floor-victim idiots, and one of the evil guy's attacks tears the protagonist's brain (though it just hurts him a bit).

It had a very 70s or early 80s at the latest look to it. It might be more correct to say it has that vaguely yellowy fuzzy look I associate with the 70s. Black Dynamite has the same thing going on and they tried to look like a cheap 70s film so I'd guess this is no blockbuster, although I'd already figured that because of where I saw it.
