Saw this thing on telly (Some random Sky channel) a few years back. I'm pretty sure it was a student film, probably British, that'd somehow made it's way to telly. It was a guy doing jackass-type-stunts, assisted by his dad (who thought he was crazy) Pretty sure there was stuff like putting pegs/clips all over himself and having something pull them off, and generally painful stunts. It ends I'm sure with him being tied up naked in a lift, and failing to escape and get dressed before it gets to the ground floor, where all his friends and family are waiting. Anyone have any idea what I'm on about?

I keep seeing this promo on Hulu for Miramax films that has a scene where a character in a period piece is playing goalie in a soccer game. He makes a last-minute save with his head. Any idea what this is?

I'm trying to find a short (~7 minute) stop motion animation film that I saw about 6 years ago on a DVD collection of short films. Basically it took place in a dark tool shed/garage, and the two main characters were: (1) a large, animate wire attached to a light fixture and (2) a little wire-armature-esque man with steel wool hair. I vaguely remember a scene where they're being chased by sport trophy figures, and then at the very end the little armature man dies and is brought back to life by the wire character. The ending scene was the same as the beginning, so that the film could be looped. I'm not sure how obscure it is, and I do not think it is by Jan Svankmajer (although it is similar in style).

A quick google gives the name "The 7 Stupidest Things to Escape From" "Madcap escapologist Jonathan Goodwin escapes from a variety of stupid, dangerous and sometimes homemade contraptions. He's chained to a motorised wheelchair heading off a pier; he is tied up, naked, in a lift with his girlfriend's family waiting to greet him; and he tries to escape from a glass tank full of bees. None of this could be possible of course without the aid of his assistant - his dad."

I'm trying to identify a movie which usually airs around Christmas time in the UK. It features a snowqueen and possibly a unicorn. This is ultra vague I know, but I thought I'd give you guys a bash. How many snowqueen movies can there be?

I saw this movie on TV in the late nineties. Ever since, I have been googling it every two years or so, to no avail. I might be mixing things up pretty badly: It's a surreal, quite juvenile comedy. Early on in the movie, some slacker-guys are talking to each other on the phone, in what appears to be a split-screen scene. But it turns out that they are both sitting on the same couch, and the half the room is painted in one color, and the other half in another color. Through some magical event (that I think involves a park bench and a homeless man), they are teleported to a tropical beach, with fake cardboard palm trees. One of the guys fall on top of some girl in a bikini with fake tits, and says some lovely pun about Silicon Valley. I think the plot revolves around them trying to find a hidden treasure before some evil corporate guy. There is also a rastafari bus-driver, with an enormous penis. I believe there is a weird running gag about a blow-up dolphin pool toy, that appears randomly in the background of scenes for no reason.

Okay so I saw this when I was a kid and cannot remember if it is from a TV show episode or an anthology type movie. Anyway, this family is doing Christmas things and they start talking about this monster. One of the characters gets mad because you aren't suppose to say the name of the monster or it will come and get you. Well the mom keeps saying it anyway and all of a sudden this huge furry white arm smashes through the window and pulls her out. I'm starting to believe its not even real since no one i've ever told about it seems to know what i'm talking about...

So, here's my question. My friend told me about this video on the internet. It depicts a rabbit in a glass box given a substance of some classification, shown to convulse, die, and go flatline, and then after it's heart has apparently stopped beating, get up and eventually beat itself completely bloody trying to get out of the box. I also heard that several sites had to take this video down, for government material reasons. If anyone has any clues or feels like going and finding this video, I would greatly appreciate it. So far the only thing I can find is the vx trials on youtube.

I'm pretty sure this one is from the late eighties to early nineties. The only scene I really remember is the main character running in a relay race. He makes every mistake you could possibly make, stumbling, drops the baton during a hand-off, etc. Eventually he's almost possibly going to catch up with the only runner left and be second to last instead of dead last. He's almost caught up and dramatically dives forward for the finish line. When he gets up a few seconds later he realizes he's still an inch or so away from the finish line as the other runner catches up again and crosses it.

Okay my friends are convinced I dreamt this one. I must have seen it as a kid sometime in the nineties, and it was probably on tv. All I remember is a bunch of disjointed scenes but the main character had an australian accent and was from a small island that a big corporation was trying to buy or something. At one point he crafts a helmet from scrap metal, I think it deflects a bullet later. At some point he goes to the states (I think maybe to make money to save his home?) and he meets a guy with a kilt, scottish accent, and a machinegun who takes a bite from a huge burger and says something like "I'm big... mac". Near the end some people are inspired by some cave drawings to throw beer cans at people. Also I think an island may be towed by a boat. Is this actually a movie or is this some drug-addled dream I had?

Two movies have been plaguing me for years and years - hope someone can help me. The first is a murder mystery style movie - similar to Clue (I thought it was clue but it doesn't seem to fit). Seen on: TV How long ago: Probably close on 17 years ago. Genre: Murder mystery What I know: A bunch of people in a mansion and someone is murdered at dinner. I have a sense that the man who was murdered was rather fat and I know that it turns out that he's alive in the end. Second one is sketchier (sorry) as it was a helluva long time ago. Seen on: TV How long ago: About 20 years Genre: Sci-fi What I know: There are people on a strange planet, they have a base of some sort. During the course of the movie, they're hunted and killed by a creature that burns through the base. Typical cheesy looking shots of it burning through a huge steel door with the door glowing red from the inside. God, now I type it out, it doesn't seem possible. Well, worth a shot.

Did you watch it and that's not it, or just read some synopsis? From your description it could very well be Clue. Either way, if you didn't watch it, watch it. Well worth your two hours.

I'm pretty sure I saw this as a kid in the mid 90's, probably on VHS. The only scene I remember shows someone opening a small box containing a human heart (perhaps some other organ) with a bite taken out of it. IIRC the killer/biter was a serial killer? Hopefully this is actually a movie and I don't need therapy.

Massive longshot this one. I saw this maybe 6-8 years ago, very late at night. Im pretty sure its eastern european, comedy-whodunnit, subtitled. It is raining and a man is driving to a hotel, pics up a hitchhiker. Hitchhiker leaves a gun in his car. Man gets to hotel, the characters are slightly introduced, someone is killed. Everyone blames the main character (because of the gun) and they tie him to a chair. Some events unfold and it turns out everyone at the hotel is dodgy as hell, one guy is an arms dealer, one is some sort of killer, the preacher (or teacher) and his wife are drug dealers and the book he carries around actually has the pages coated in lsd because :?: and so on. Hijinks ensue. He manages to escape the chair and some gypsies turn up outside, they are 'car whisperers' descendants of horse whisperers. they steal cars parked outside by doing things like banging on the roof which starts the car, turns on the lights and opens the locked doors all at once. Not sure what happens next. Any ideas??

Ok got a real vague one. I remember a bit in a movie, I think it was a woman in some kind of turmoil, perhaps in a plane or space ship and all shits breaking loose, then it all goes serene when whatever it is she is in is freefalling and everything inside is weightless, then it suddenly resumes to everything flying about.

Friend of mine saw a movie on TCM YEARS AGO (I had the same reaction you're probably having right now), but only the last 20 minutes or so. A woman is recounting a flashback to a group of people about how she and her uncle were in a foreign country of some sort. They're eating at a restaurant and a bunch of local children are gathered around calling out to people for "pan" so it's probably a Spanish-speaking country. The uncle ignores the cries of the children and as he's leaving all the starving children start following him and, on homemade instruments, they play this song and chase him. They gang up on him and apparently eat him because all that's left is a skeleton. Only other thing he remembers about it is that it was in black and white. If any of you have any idea what it could be I'd be amazed, Google's turned up nothing for either of us. EDIT: vvv Haha, now I just feel uncultured. Thanks man (or woman).

Okay, I've got one. I remember seeing a comedic (?) slasher film on Comedy Central about 15-20 years ago. All I remember is that the villain tried to electrocute people, it took place at a college, and the romantic interest was this blond haired girl whose name was Kirby. That's what I've got. Any help would be appreciated!
