Thanks! Notorious is the correct one. It's been bugging me for a few days. Also definitely not House on Haunted Hill for the second. Okay I'll put down everything I know about it: - Surrealist film, and like original wave surrealism as well, think Dali etc. - Short (I think) - Woman shrouded in black drifts down street in one scene, up some outdoor stairs in another, all scenes in daylight - 20's, at the latest very very early 30s - Probably French - Name might be that of a woman

okay guys, here's my problem: it's an animated movie (maybe some weird french/japanese co-production) perhaps from the 70s or 80s that looks a little like les maîtres du temps (which sadly it isn't). the story involves an alien planet where some kind of genocide is going on. i remember lots of graphical violence, a sad setting and that a frog was part of an space ship crew but yeah, my memories may fail on that one. sorry, not more information, i suck at explaining stuff... been looking for that for quite a long time but without success yet. goons, you're my only hope

morestuff posted:Fantastic Planet? thank you for helping me  from the synopsis i just read it could be that one. perhaps. but on the other side - does fantastic planet involve space crews? i remember that a couple of people were travelling to that planet because of some reason. also, i don't remember really huge beings... edit: found a trailer for fantastic planet. sadly i believe that isn't the one. "mine" looks less arty, more like a typical asian animation movie. mmh... Dr. Honest Horst fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Nov 22, 2011 |

Here's a request for a boat movie, and somehow it's not a part of TCM's "All Aboard!" theme this month. It's a black-and-white movie from anywhere in the 1930s to 1960s. Some people are on a boat (a ferry or a cruise ship) and they discover they are dead. Some passengers are judged en route by a Saint Peter-type conductor, where they plead their case for heaven or struggle to cope with their situation. The climax comes when the boat reaches the end of the voyage/purgatory, and the passengers disembark to heaven or hell depending on their judgments. A young couple is the last to leave, and they won't separate because maybe one of them is going to be sent back to earth because it's not his/her time yet? It's a good "Twilight Zone" kind of a movie. This was on TCM some time ago last spring. I can't remember a single actor and an exhaustive keyword/synopsis search through Google and IMDB has been absolutely no help. Movies this is not: Ship of Fools, One Way Passage, The Last Voyage

Was flipping through the channels at 4am last night and caught the end of this bad horrorish movie. Was hoping someone could give me the name. I remember there was a gang of ghosts/demons in human form, with the devil as their leader. They were holding a group of friends hostage to perform some satanic ritual. The gang were all dressed in 50's era clothing. One of them had headphones on. The two main characters get away, the devil lets them go and gives them his car. This movie was modern, probably less than 5 years old.

Okay the plot thickens on my 20's avant-garde short film. I was discussing it with a friend of mine who studied art history and is a part time gallery curator, so she really knows her poo poo. She says she also remembers seeing something like this, but that it MIGHT NOT EVEN BE Surrealism. It was DEFINITELY one of the big modernist movements though, so the next bet is German Expressionist. And before anybody says, no, it's DEFINITELY not The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. edit: I FINALLY GOT IT The film is called Meshes of the Afternoon, a famous 13 minute long avant garde film made in 1943. It's kind of eery and psychological, and available on Google vids for any film fans who want to watch it. Crazedmongoose fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Nov 22, 2011 |

I'm trying to remember a movie based a single snippet of a scene, and a poorly remembered one at that. I remember a character saying something to another dude with the word "negligible" in it, while stuffing his mouth. He was saying it in a sort of weird squeaky voice, and the whole character gives off this nerdy-pathetic vibe. Puts me in mind of Kutner from House for some reason (but it isn't him, and the scene isn't from House.) It's definitely supposed to be a funny scene, but I can't remember if the movie itself is supposed to be funny. (Probably?)

In this movie there is a girl. She is in need of adoption, but the man she wants to be adopted by cannot adopt because he is a single man. The girl has an odd pet. Like something that is usually only seen as a wild animal. Like a squirrel or a raccoon or something. At the end the man gets together with a woman in a little serendipity and he can adopt the little girl. I saw this in the early to mid 90s on VHS and it was buried in the general release section of the Family Section so it was nowhere near new. I want to say it took place in France and was dubbed into English, but I'm not actually sure of that one.

The ending had the two main characters run away from the ritual, the devil catches up to them and spares their lives, saying whats coming next is worse than death. Then he gives them his car, saying he wont need it anymore. Edit: This got answered in the PYF horror movie thread. The movie is The Violent Kind http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1472195/. mt1 fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Nov 23, 2011 |

This is going to be vague, but I only saw the opening scene to this documentary in one of my film classes back in college, and we never went back to the film. It opens on a house, with a boy and I think his mother sitting on the porch. The doc is about the boy, that had some sort of mental and/or behavioral problems. I seem to recall his mother yelling at him for some reason in that first few minutes we watched. That's all I really know. I think it was probably made in the early or mid 90s, and the title might have had the boy's name in it.

Not strictly to the thread title, but I figure someone should know this easy. Does anyone know what the piece of music in Midnight in Paris is when Gil and Adrianna are walking through Paris at night and they come across Zelda Fitzgerald. It's like a slow accordion piece. It's this piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM881MVkz9Y

It's set in New York and it's about graffiti (possibly also breakdancing and other hip-hop stuff) and there's dudes writing graffiti on trains and some crews have beefs and I think one guy dies because another graffiti dude chases him and he gets fried on the subway tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_DZoCiPnOc Beat Street. The whole thing's up on youtube if you're interested.

I remember a long time ago seeing a clip of a scene from a certain movie on these forums. I think it was from a 'favourite scenes/camera shots' thread or similar. It was a shot of a city, sort of what it'd look like if you were in a helicopter moving over a city. It was at night and the camera gets closer and closer to the stadium, eventually panning over the crowd and then stopping face-to-face with a character and then the scene continued. It was all one single continuous shot. For some reason I thought it may have been Brazil, but I don't think that's it. Anyone got any idea what I'm talking about?

Hello CD. I've got two that I cannot for the life of me remember the names of. Both are German (the versions I've seen both had subtitles), set in the modern day (I think), are live action and both star rats as their antagonists. One has a generalised rat plague, and has a group of exterminators as the heroes. There's a female doctor as the love interest and her daughter gets bitten at one point. The other involves a literal army of rats. The only thing I remember about this is a scene where the leader of the rat army talks to the human lead in a sewer chamber or something. Hopefully this rings some bells.
