I remember a movie about the thirteenth floor of a building. I'm pretty sure it was horror, because during one part a man or woman forgets their glasses, accidentally goes to the thirteenth floor, and is murdered(?). I think nobody believes that the thirteenth floor actually exists, or that it's empty, but people keep taking an elevator there by accident. The most vivid image I remember is of a character looking at a drawing of all the floors on the building, with the thirteenth floor filled with monsters. I saw it around 1994-1997 on basic cable, so it was probably released in 1993-1996, but I'm not absolutely sure. If anyone knows what it is, I'd be forever grateful. I've wondered about the name for approximately three quarters of my life now.

IMDB has a movie from 1993 with the keyword "thireenth-floor" that sounds kind of similar called Silver. Is that it?

It was a period piece about a young Chinese boy who's penis gets chopped off in order to serve his master as a kind of eunuch and wears it around his neck on a string. There's a scene later in the movie where there's a fire, and I think the boy's penis gets burned up. http://www.imdb.com/keyword/eunuch/ Quite a few Chinese movies in here, maybe the plot summaries could jog your memory.

This has always been in the back of my mind. Where: 1980's Sunday afternoon movie on DC tv 5 or 20 Details: in color Looks like it was shot in the 1960's (from my memory as a 10 year old at the time) male lead (I remember him as someone I saw in another sitcom, like a Dick Van Dyke or Arthur Lake from the old Blondie show) Plot: Man who is an inventor or scientist or marketing ad agent comes up with this super wafer. It was a colorful, shiny wafer about the size of a quarter - kind of like a Necco wafer, but glittered in the light. When consumed by humans it provides some kind of super ability, super memory etc. The movie Limitless reminded me of this lost memory of a wacky movie. In the movie, there are billboards ready to announce this amazing wafer with these amazing properties! The signs are teasers with messages like "Your life will change with Brand X!" Everyone is talking about what this product is/does. Then the recipe is lost or there's a serious side effect. The tone of the movie is fun and family friendly.

This is a huge long shot, but I'm looking for an hour-long (maybe 90 min.) TV movie that ran on HBO in the mid to late 90's. This was about a boy in elementary or middle school who had AIDS. There was a bunch of controversy in the school, some staff didn't want him being a student there. At one point in the film he gets into a fight / needs a bandaid of some sort and it causes even more of a poo poo storm.

^^ It's a Slitheen, one of the worst Doctor Who monsters from the comeback series in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston. Edit - worst, because they are usually disguised as righteously smug overweight humans who think farting is hilarious and don't think their plots through properly. Luckily, Steven Moffat has now inherited the series. Wait, I think I lost track somewhere there. Buml0r fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Mar 30, 2011 |

It started out on ABC, though. I don't know if it ever made it to HBO.

Thanks Sizzlechest. The closest would probably be "The Strongest Man..." but that's not it. I distinctly remember these shiny colorful wafers that gave people either euphoria or memory or smarts...

I remember watching a movie in middle school where it's World War 2 and it's set in America. A japanese sub or ship is sunk and one of the soldiers lives and washes up on shore and a group of American boys find him. They, I think befriend him and nurse him back to health or something. I think that's how the movie goes. Sorry it's so vague.

I've been trying to think of the name of possibly the worst movie I've ever seen--it was almost certainly in the 90s--it's about a child talent agent who is down on his luck and teams up with a sassy minority child, making her the spokesperson for a cookie company and regaining his love of life/success/way with kids. I thought it starred someone like Emilio Estevez or Bill Pullman, but their filmographies don't contain this turd so far as I can see. Please help.

I'm reposting this, because no one got it the first time. The scene I remember is some cop, maybe Brian Dennehey, pulls over a couple driving a classic car. The guy driving says he did all the work on it himself. Eventually, the cop makes the guy get some grease from the car (saying "I thought you kept this car cherry, boy?") and uses it to rape the girlfriend. He tells the guy he can turn around, and if the gun is not pointed at him, they can go, but if it is, he will kill them both. The guy doesn't turn around (the gun is not pointed at him). The next day or something, the couple confronts the cop at some diner. This has been driving me nuts forever.

Here's a tough one based on fuzzy memory obscured by nearly three decades: Mid-80's, I was watching cable TV at my grandmother's house. It was some sort of corny low-budget sci-fi flick set on a spaceship with lots of red/orange/silver sets that looked like painted cardboard. There was a big brown monster that looked like a bipedal turd. I'm pretty sure it had a single big yellow eye in the middle of its turdlike head. The turdbeast ripped a scientist's arm off, and he acted like that was no big deal. The monster may or may not have continued to dismember and kill him, not sure. There was a woman around, perhaps with curly dark hair, and some other people. I think someone got sucked out of an airlock, possibly the monster. There may or may not have been bubble-style space helmets. As I write this, I realize that parts of it could be misconstrued to mean Alien with Sigourney Weaver. This is definitely NOT that movie. The one-eyed turdbeast gave me nightmares for weeks. Help me face my fears, goons. Find this movie for me so I can laugh about it on Youtube.

I believe this horror movie from the 80s and involved ballerinas or dancers of some sort. It probably inspired Black Swan. It starts off with a young lady taking a taxi from the airport and going to dancing school or something and then it turns out the school is haunted and the "teachers" or whoever is ahead of the school is aware that it is haunted and is in on the whole thing. I remember it being a beautiful film with tons of...scenes with stain-glass, and I remember the ending involved the woman opening up a hidden door or something. I think it's either in French or Spanish but I'm not even sure about that. PeppermintEgo fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 1, 2011 |

I'm trying to find an old movie (probably in the 80'-90') which is half-cartoon, half real, and starts with a guy in a car who crashes and get into that obscure cartoon world (I think he died, I don't remember). What I do remember thought, is that it was a sorta dark humor movie which ends with a scene about one of the female cartoon character wanting to become a human near some sort of skyscraper, in the night. Any helps? (It's not Who framed Roger Rabbit but looks a bit like it)

So, I'm looking for a movie I saw on tv many years ago. It's a gritty film about a band of roving mercenaries rampaging through medival Europe, raping and pillaging. I'd guess it may be from the late 80's and the actors may have spoken another language than english. I seem to recall one dude with a huge two-handed sword. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Alright This is a scene from a horror movie from sometime before 1995. The one scene I remember and I still have nightmares about from time to time is that the main star arrives at another persons house for a visit. It's quiet and all the lights are off, and they shouldn't be so the star going in the front door (which is open). No one is home and nothing is on except for the washing machine. I remember the star being scared and inching towards the the washing machine only to open it and find the tenant dead in the washing machine. There may have been a blood trail leading up to the washing machine but i can't remember.
