I have a feeling that's from The Burbs.

Alright, so me and the newly minted wife were on our honeymoon. In Rome, we caught the last twenty or so minutes of what appeared to be a French film. I say "appeared" because there was little to no dialogue in the parts we saw, but it was on a French satellite channel. What I can tell you is that it featured a very tall man (he almost looked like he had mild gigantism), his wife, and their small boy. They had a tumultuous relationship, and something tragic happens to the boy (perhaps a drowning?), and the giant man is very sad. The end. Any ideas?

A few months ago I saw ads on youtube for their VOD service. They were showing the trailer to this real low budget festival-darling indie, that was about a teenaged girl who finds a stranger on a beach. Her mom's all "get him out of the house or we're leaving." Lots of handheld. Looked like it was the East Coast, maybe the Jersey Shore? Does anybody know what this was?

You're making me feel old, because I first saw this on HBO around 1984 and instantly became one of my childhood favorites, but you're thinking of Twice Upon A Time, and the courageous lion you're thinking of is Ralph, the all-purpose animal. Here's a music video with the main song interspersed with scenes from the movie that will get your old memory going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrUqzxaKqyY This is really one of those movies that should get a proper Blu-ray release by now since it's been out-of-print for years.

I can't think of this movie: one very small side plot involved a bunch of people taking random drugs (I don't think they picked they were taking, it was random somehow I believe) and being generally hosed up. I believe it was set on a college campus, and I think all of the people taking the drugs were in a fraternity. Edit: I believe it was a comedy of some type, can't believe I forgot to mention that originally. Titan Coeus fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jul 5, 2011 |

I'm trying to recall a horror movie I saw at least 15 years ago. All I recall is that it was a slasher movie with the killer being a creature that resembled Cousin It from The Adams Family. The only scene I can remember is this hair mop monster pushing someone either through a window or down a flight of stairs. I would love to see this again, as I'm sure it's an absolute masterpiece.

A long time ago, probably early 90's, I remember seeing some movie, I'm pretty sure it was a kids movie. All I remember is that there were stuffed animals that would come to life, and in the basement there was a monster in the furnace, or the furnace was actually a monster. I'm pretty sure it was live-action.

Stuffed animals coming to life sounds like The Christmas Toy and the evil furnace monster is almost certainly Home Alone.

It wasn't either of those, sorry guys. I love Home Alone and have never seen that Christmas Toy movie. Oddly enough, I can remember that after the movie ended, that lovely Stephen King TV movie "The TommyKnockers" came on. So I guess that means the movie Im thinking of could have been a made for TV movie.

He gets magic powers and his toys come alive. Then he finds a creepy possed vetriloquist's doll, strange things happen and in the end the doll gets burned in an underground maze.

There's a fairly recent revenge movie about an ordinary guy who wants to get revenge on someone who hurt (killed?) his family. I just remember that someone brought up the poster which was a guy in overalls walking towards the camera carrying something. People were saying it got a bit crazy/unrealistic towards the end. It's not Harry Brown or that one with Kevin Bacon. Arggh, wish I could remember!

A few years ago I saw this documentary on tv, it might have been IFC, about a bunch of old southern bluesmen. One of the guys they talked about had a mangled hand so he played in an open tuning using a butterknife as a slide. And for a few other people they talked about various tragedies that would happen to these guys way back when. The movie takes an odd sort of turn when eventually the director somehow got involved with Iggy Pop, who asked if he could be involved in the film. So they incorporated him into it, even going so far as having him perform with some old blues musicians who'd never heard of him. I looked up Iggy Pop on imdb as he was the only person whose name I could recall in relation to the film and it yielded nothing. I really want to know what the name of the movie is because I've been dying to see it again. this has been driving me crazy for three or four years.

I have a few more I just recalled... One is something I know I saw on either Nick Jr. as a child or the Disney Chanel. I am almost 100% positive it is a sequel to the movie, "Dot and the Kangaroo". It is half live action, half animation. What I remember most is a scene where a cartoon girl goes into the inside of a live action ant next, running around in the darkness with live action ants. The other part is where she is put into an live action wasp's nest by a wasp mother who then begins to seal her inside a nest with her eggs. The second movie is another random, was on Disney Chanel before the Disney Chanel made it's own shows type of deal. It was a an animated move that starts with a ship delivering a giant gear somewhere far away where children are enslaved in a giant factory. A kid is stowing away in the giant gear to escape/enter the place and a flying bird with a human face but Garfield eyes talks to the kid, boat sinks, kid washes up on an island where a father and daughter live, drink a magic potion from a volcano or something, and have a butler they made from vegetables who grows giant at the end. Have any idea? *Edit* Also an animated movie about a caterpillar who has bossy sisters who goes on an adventure and finds a magic book that teaches her how to knit a cocoon and become the first ever butterfly or something. I do remember it had an odd sequel where her and her kids fight martians. Blue Pony fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Jul 7, 2011 |

I don't want to watch them now as an adult for fear of my nostalgia shattering.

Popcorn, I know the movie you're talking about but I can't find it either. Had a look on IMDB for keywords divorce - comedy - movie but couldn't find anything. I think it's the dad saying it, and the point of view is from the kid lying on the stretcher.

I saw a scene from a movie on a classic movie channel a while back, most likely TCM while I was in a coffee shop. It had three people standing in different positions looking in different directions but still talking to one another (as far as I could tell, since it was muted). This scene with the three characters went on for a long time in movie terms, and the people didn't really ever move or look at one another. The blocking was very interesting for a movie, so I was wondering what it was. It gave me a sense of uneasyness, betrayal, and a failed attempt at reconciliation without ever hearing any of the dialogue.

I remember watching this sometime between 1997-2000 on basic cable/antenna in my tree house (yes my tree house had a tv). Genre: Horror / slasher. Looked like it was made in the 90s?, kinda cheap (maybe direct to video?); Was violent and scary to my 10 year old brain but was actually probably pretty cheesy. Plot points: I remember it taking place in a haunted or booby-trapped mansion of some kind. All these people are there to attend a party (?), I think a costume party. One woman is dressed like Cleopatra and ends up dying by being trapped in a loom, and the threads start going through her skin. Another person is killed by a clock where every time the clock strikes the hour a guillotine blade or axe comes down inside the clock (someone gets their head stuck in there and dies). There may have also been a time limit until the doors to the house could open so they had to spend 12 hours in there and live (but now it sounds like I'm describing House on Haunted Hill so maybe I misremembered that part). This thread is drat impressive by the way.
