Just remembered watching this as a kid and being scared shitless. It took place in a house and there was something like the Blob in that it was a substance that would swallow/envelope people, but it all took place in a house and not across the whole city like I know most of the blob films did. Really wish I could dig up more details but that's the extent of what I remember, aside from maybe the house being a lot like a mansion or at least fancier and nicer than a normal home. This is gonna be bothering me until I can figure it out and hunt down the film.

I just watched the trailer and...some of it was ringing a bell, like the house, but I just can't shake this memory that it was a blob-like substance and less of a creature with a mouth, etc. Still though, crazy how quickly you were able to guess that! Any other guesses?

I have a vague memory of waking up late at night when I was a kid and the television was left on in the living room. The movie on was, I think, Italian and had a scene where two men wearing bathrobes are in a room drawing men on a wall so they could come alive and fight the drawings of women that were also coming alive. I have no reason to believe it was an Italian film other than thinking the actors sounded dubbed. I want to say it was from the late 60's or early 70's and I think it was a comedy.

Saw only the end of it, but wondering what the hell it was I saw: Bunch of people in a house, then they started melting into each other in some sort of eating fetish orgy. They were chasing some guy through the rooms. For some reason, I think the title evokes the image of high society, or upper class.

It's probably been at least a decade since I saw this, so I might be getting some details wrong. Humans and some reptile-looking aliens are fighting a war against each other. A human soldier and an alien soldier get marooned on a planet together, and gradually form a friendship. I think that the alien gives birth to a little baby reptile while they're trapped together and they start raising it. They get off the planet (somehow?) but the kid gets kidnapped, maybe by the earth military. They go rescue it with lots of explosions and heroism. I have a feeling this was not a super well-known movie, and google is coming up with nothing for me. Ring any bells with anyone?

I have another one: a movie (1980s probably) that IIRC was sort of a campy comedy "horror" in the vein of The Toxic Avenger, which was about mutants and some company that created them, and the movie ended with the executives of that company being mutated altogether into a shoe. Yes, a bunch of people get combined and turned into a single sentient shoe monster thing.

CzarChasm posted:Didn't see a definite yes/no on either of the two suggested guesses so might I add A Slight Case of Murder? Thanks for the suggestions guys but I don't think it's any of those. I remember it seemed as though witnessing the crime was a big part of the movie - like, the primary plot point. Maybe I'm misremembering and it didn't have William H. Macy in it, I'm pretty certain it did though.

I recall reading about this movie a while ago, and I believe there was a short clip of it on youtube, or it could have been the whole thing (it might have been a short film). It was a movie consisting of shots of empty rooms, where action presumably had taken place; it was like watching a movie five minutes behind the stuff actually happening. It was in black and white, so I'm guessing it was an older movie. I can't remember the nationality, but if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it was French. There was no dialog, as there were no characters, or even people. Please help me find this movie! Google has been no help. Please help me, I need this film to help tie together a paper I'm writing.

I remember stumbling across a youtube music video years ago for a film and thought it sounded pretty interesting. Of course today I suddenly remember this and can not for the life of me think what song or film it was. It's a pretty new film, I think it was about someone who died in a car crash and was in watching the aftermath as a ghost? Or it happened in some alternate reality perhaps. The scene I remember was of the characters stood on a busy traffic bridge (at night?) in the rain being all emotional. Hooray vague memory. Another is one about a criminal who gets dumped on this island of other criminals as his punishment there. The 'native' people/criminals to this island have build themselves a small village, surrounded by a wooden fortress kind of wall. The guy + some of the others aim to escape the island, ends up the police/guards chasing them down with a helicopter. He eventually manages to escape on a small boat after scaling down a cliffside.

Let's see, saw this around 2003 rented on VHS. There's this flesh colored creature that looks like a worm or something and it spoke English and... the creature has sex with a woman at the end? Oh and there were terrible blood effects. Not much to go on I know...

OK I remember I saw a spy movie about a boy who had the same name as the real spy and he gets first class ticket to Europe instead with his classmates and the real spy guy was killed by some bad guys. Then US government knows he's not the real deal but takes him in anyways and train him to be a spy. Then there's some sort of X-ray glasses and he used to cheat in a card game. I don't remember the rest and I would like to watch this movie again.

This one has been bugging me for a long time because of how well I can remember parts of it. Near the beginning the main characters come up with plan to get a roommate and kill him while he's taking a bath. After they kill him, they cut off his hands and feet and smash his teeth so that he can't be identified, and one of the characters works in a hospital and disposes of the hands and feet with the medical waste there. Then at the end of the movie there's a mystery of where some money that was stolen is hidden and one of the characters is shown stabbed to death in his apartment. The camera pans down, shows the knife going through him into the floor, then goes down below the floorboards and reveals that that's where the money was hidden. It's British and I probably saw it in the late 90s, and it couldn't have been too old at the time. And I have another one that I have a much more vague memory of: All I can remember is that there a young boy who is evil or possessed or something and tries to kill his family. There's a scene where his mother hides in a pantry and the boy repeatedly jabs a knife through slits in the door. There might also be a scene of someone hiding in one of those big freezer units people put in their garages to store meat.If I had to guess I'd say that t was from the 70s.

The murder doesnt fit, but the panning down through the floor to show the cash is definately in Shallow Grave. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111149/ Its totally possible that another film used a similar shot, but it has them disposing of the body of a flatmate.

After watching the ending on Youtube, that's definitely it. Awesome. Except it's not available on Netflix  Even if the roommate wasn't murdered, did he at least die in the bathtub? I distinctly remember a body in the tub and IMDB has somewhere credited as "Bath Victim".

Someone presumably does die in a bath, but it definately isnt the roommate. I mainly remember the very begining and very end of the film, the middle is a bit of a blur to me. Luckily one of the scenes you mentioned is literally the only bit I remember well!

I saw this glorious movie on VHS a couple years ago and I forgot the title. It's severely 80's, and it's about a nerd who works in (I think) a pizza place who sells his soul to the devil to become a huge rock star, complete with sweet 80's metal hair and tight pants. He has to suck the souls out of people to stay alive.
