kuddles posted:Sounds like In Search of a Midnight Kiss. Another one is this movie I saw in New York City at the Angelica theater, probably 5-6 years ago. I don't remember much, but the movie centers around a group of kids, probably 10 or 11 years old, and one kills another one. The Blue Oyster Cult song "Burning for You" is featured prominently throughout the film, and the scene I remember most vividly is one of the main characters - this young asian girl - tries to seduce this old guy, while singing that song. It was really creepy haha.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir34_WCV6ag what is the movie in this video. I didn't embed the video because I don't know if it's spoilers are not but there are people getting shot with a shotgun in the video and being killed by it. I don't know anything else so maybe you can help me find the movie? Thank You.

This is a movie I can't remember and its been bugging me for months, I tried the internet with no luck. All I can remember from this film (I think its a film but im beginning to doubt myself) is that the little girl in the movie always had a basketball player plush doll with her and was obsessed with the sport. It was later reveiled that she liked it so much because she thought the players could fly. I think at one point she climbs up a tall shelf in order to try to fly.

I have no idea why I remember this, but that's from Look Who's Talking Now (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107438/). The little girl is John Travolta's character's daughter.

Alright it's a book that I and my fiance read when we were younger. We don't remember a whole lot about it but the main characters were a boy and a girl and at some point in the series they slept in the body of a dragon to hide(?) and then they start getting dragon powers. Ring any bells for anyone?

All the details you add seem to ring true, especially the fact that it was short. I felt like the pace at which the segment that I saw moved was really fast if it was a feature length film.

Snak posted:My roommate is trying to track down a movie she saw years ago. It is about a woman who is having trouble getting pregnant, but she is obsessed with trying because of a past miscarriage. She blames her husband for them not being able to conceive and has an affair with their neighbor, who then murders the husband. The movie ends with a shot of a table covered in positive pregnancy tests. I hate to bump my own post, but I still haven't been able to find this movie. Any ideas at all would be much appreciated.

This one is making me crazy. I can't remember if it's from a movie, a book or TV, but I think a movie. One character is a detective with a secret (or something), and he is telling someone a story about how he had spent a period of time too wrapped up in his work while his wife cared for their baby. It turns out that the baby was dead and decomposing in the crib while his wife, detached from reality, "cared" for it, and that he didn't realize what was going on for at least a week. Sound familiar? Like I said, I think it's a movie, but I'm not entirely sure.

This was a movie shot partially in a documentary style and partially in traditional cinematic style. The plot involved aliens. Several characters keep seeing white owls, which turns out to be the sign you got abducted or something.

As a kid, I recall seeing a haunted house movie on tv, filmed in the 70s/80s, possibly British. One of the big setpieces involved a woman going swimming in an indoor pool, only when she tries to surface, she can't (it's either closed with glass or something transparent or just ghost powers), and she drowns. Ring any bells to anyone?

The film was shown on Goontube, and I left after the first 20 minutes, still would like to see it though. From what I remember, it starts like this: Some kid in a red car (maybe) follows a road off the highway, and ends up in some weird diner. And by weird I mean it has some meta-dimensional quality, like some Q-trick from Star Trek NG. Maybe there was even some lovely riddle the kid had to figure out. Yeah, I remember, some dude could eat forever. It's possible Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell had some cameos.

There's a version of Peter and the Wolf I saw a long time ago but seem to have trouble finding again. I watched it as a child in the 1990s from a VHS that my parents either bought or recorded from the TV, so I think it's from the late 80's/early-mid 90's. The story is more or less the same, but I remember that it was not animated, and that some characters were puppets and some (e.g., Peter I believe) were live action. I believe at least some of the characters may have been Muppet-y too (specifically, a conductor in the beginning that gets replaced). The only other two things I remember is that there's a faux "opening" where all of the characters are backstage on an opera house and getting called in to perform the show on stage, and that I believe there's a scene where the wolf is chasing/eating the duck and you can see it all from the wolf (or maybe the duck's?) perspective; it's in first person anyway.

I've had a line from a film bouncing round in my head all weekend - I think it's from some kind of action comedy or something? The hero is in some kind of life or death struggle while speaking to someone else (maybe on a phone?) who is complaining about something relatively minor. In frustration the hero sarcastically responds with "your problems are significant!" Google has nothing, any ideas?

Okay I;m not sure if im making this movie up or what but i remember this scene from when i was a kid. Its of a few people sitting in a room with a kid close to the tv watching it. I'm not sure if the kid makes this happen or it just happens but the Tasmanian devil (or atleast something that reminded me of the Tasmanian devil) comes out of the tv and spins around and maybe targets one of the people. Thats the only scene i remember and I've asked my friends and they seem to think that im just misremembering something i made up as fact. Help me prove them wrong.

Some (I presume) 80s movie I caught on T.V. once-- it was a typical "lone renegade against the evil drug dealers" premise, except what made it stand out was that the bad guys weren't coke dealers, they were marijuana farmers. The rhetoric was unchanged as well, stuff about "addicting children" and such-- hilarious. At the end the hero walks through some small rural town massacring everyone, etc., then encounters the true mastermind-- an old granny in a rocking chair, who pulls a gun and tries to mow the lone hero down the moment he turns his back. I only saw a few bits of it but I believe it was 100% strait-faced, no tongue-in-cheek intended. I would love to find out what the hell this gem was.

An Australian home invasion film, very reminiscent of Badlands in that there's a young couple terrorising people in much the same way, the girl is essentially innocent and the young man is a psychopath. The thing that should stand out is the fact the man was referred to in a review I read at the time as a young Brad Pitt, he did look alike and the voice I seem to remember was similar. Definitely Australian, within the last 10 years but beyond that I couldn't say anything more. Have tried googling this and no luck at all.

It almost sounds like the original Walking Tall, but I can't remember if that was coke or pot being sold to the town's youth... FWIW, the hero was Joe Don Baker who you might recognize from Mitchell (the fat American detective), Lone Star (the fat American sheriff in Italy) and Goldeneye (the fat American agent at the very end)

Looking for a movie where everything is fake, literally, all commercial products are blank white labeled and either contained nothing or were the most distilled generic form of what it was supposed to be (I don't remember which), but no one notices this. I don't know anything else about the story other than after one of the characters stops whatever's distorting everyone's vision of the world everyone continues not to notice.

It had a serious tone that felt like something out of The Twilight Zone, but I distinctly remember it being a movie.
