Maybe one of you fine gentlemen can name a movie for me. It was a Vietnam War (I think) movie I saw a little bit of on tv many many years ago when I was a little kid. The only scene I remember took place in a busy street (in Saigon?) where I think some sort of terrorist attack or bombing takes place and the protagonist is handcuffed (by MPs?) and he grabs a M16 and (because hes handcuffed) fires it full auto at waist level at the terrorist/attackers(?) thanks in advance

So I remember seeing part of a movie on late night TV years ago. This man is being chased through a school at night by another man who I think was his childhood bully or something. The chase then continued into some dark woods. I know it's very little infromation but it's really bothering me.

Not too long ago I saw a trailer for a horror movie, and if I remember correctly it was a single, continuous POV shot from a car driving past some kids running in a field toward what seems to be a scarecrow. Then they start stabbing it, and you realize it's probably not a scarecrow and you're witnessing a murder. I'm pretty sure it's a British movie. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, if it's been released, and if it's any good?

I'm trying to remember an 80's film about a young wimpy guy that gets some magic spell put on him that turns him into a muscular hunky guy. Most of the film took place on a beach.

I vaguely remember a movie about a woman who was doing reconstruction of a plane crash and there being a discussion about poking a hole in a napkin and tearing the napkin up, then trying to find the hole. It was probably mid-late 90's to early 2000s? Not sure if it was theatrical or TV-only, but I remember one of the people being on board was a little blond boy with a camo patterned shirt who was focused on for some reason. e: One of the scenes was in a hangar with a reconstructed plane, like this shot of TWA 800:

About 7 years ago my cousin and I were watched this random video online that we aren't sure if it was a clip from a movie or just a short. Now that I think about it I'm leaning toward it was a short. My guess would be it's about 5-10 minutes long, maybe longer I'm not sure. What I remember: I think it was a mid 90's movie/short based on the way people were dressed. This little stereotypical movie nerd gets onto a school bus, I remember him as having blonde hair and glasses but I could be completely wrong. As the bus full of kids is on the way to school it's overrun by people I think are dressed in all black and they have guns, taking the bus hostage. The nerdy kid pulls some type of chemical or something out of his backpack and burns a hole through the floor of the bus to escape. If this sounds familiar to anyone in anyway let me know, I've been trying to remember it/find out what's its from for ages.

I'll preface this by saying this is probably really REALLY obscure and not well described, but the title of this movie has eluded me since childhood and I'd definitely like to know what it is. The movie was a late 70s to 80s animated film/show for children that was set in fantasy/prehistoric times. As I remember it, The film had two protagonists, a boy and a girl. They looked like cavemen I think. I remember only maybe a couple of frames from the film. The animation quality was poor. I remember one scene where the girl character had a tube of wood or something and she would manipulate the tube as the wind would blow to make "music" or some sort of sound, and the boy would be all astounded. I also remember a scene where there was some sort of monster, like a lava monster or something, that maybe came out of a volcano and barfed up more lava. I remember this film creeping me the gently caress out and having nightmares about my mom barfing up lava after seeing the film. I swear kids movies from the 80s were kind of dark and hosed up. (Secret of Nymh, Wizards, The Hobbit, etc etc) I hope this film actually exists and isn't some 20 year long recollection of a bad dream.

I was watching Braveheart yesterday and thought of a couple of scenes from similar medieval combat movies and am having trouble matching the scene to the movie. My mind is getting old and poo poo just sort of blends together. I'm not positive, but I think the scenes are from either Gladiator, Timeline, The Messenger: The story of Joan of Arc, or one of the Lord of the Rings movies. Scene 1: Two armies are about to face each other. One of them is behind the woodline and I think it may look like they have the advantage. The other army launches flaming balls of burning stuff from catapults into the woods and lights them up. There are several cuts showing the flaming balls hitting the troops and one (or more) where the fireballs hit a tree and spray fire all over the place. Scene 2: Soldiers are trying to breach a fortress wall and the defensive units lower some sort of spinning weapon that completely demolishes a guy's head.

And that's literally the only scene I remember from that movie, because I ran that part back several times, fascinated by it.

When I was younger I remember watching half of an old black and white movie I never got to finish. It featured an old woman who was stuck in a wheelchair, she was transported up and down stairs in her house by a chair lift. I'm quite sure a murder was involved somewhere. Made in the 50's or 60's I think..

So I'm trying to remember an old kung fu movie for my sister, but I don't have enough to google with. It was about a tai chi master attacking this school, and he was completely invincible. Details I can remember are that when he'd fight, he'd drag his feet on the ground, and after the fight it'd pan to show that he'd traced a bagua in the dirt. In addition, they discovered his weakness was when he laughed, so the final fight was making him laugh and then punching him. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I think it had "immortal" or "invincible" the title, but it's not getting me anywhere. Thanks, and sorry for a lovely description.

Trying to find this trashy film I saw when I was younger so put it in the age range of 20-30 years. It's like a low budget terminator rip off with glowing eyes and all. - Premise was that a boyfriend found out his girlfriend was acting strangely. - Long and short is that a plane load of people (that his g/f was on) were turned into 'robots' on this flight. - He then tries to uncover the truth while they hunt him. I think it was trashy, low budget and I remember thinking it was a terminator rip off due to the glowing eyes!

I remember seeing this film in the early 90s on TV, so I guess it could be an 80s or even 70s movie. I hope someone is able to recognize it, it's been bugging me for a while now. All I can remember is that there is some kind of parasite or virus that has infected people, and most of the people in a town have it. Near the end of the movie the main character (who I think wore a leather jacket) goes to a meeting at the main square, chasing his girlfriend there, and on the way someone spots him and announces that "he doesn’t have it". The main character simply says to everyone that "he does have it" and they stop suspecting him. Soon after that he arrives at the square, where there is some dude standing on a podium or a stand. This part I remember very well: The dude talks some crap about the next step of human evolution or something like that, and after that he literally sheds his skin so that you can see his muscles and bones, and he tells the people not to be afraid of him because soon everyone’ll look like him.

This one might be a bit difficult because it was a movie that played as part of a pop-up ad for a horror movie website (Can't remember the name of that either.) (Don't ask, I have no idea why I watched the whole thing.) Given the quality I'd say it was probably a student film or at the very least an extremely obscure B-movie. It's a horror movie about 2 guys and 2 girls in college/university. The two girls get kicked out of their wiccan club so they decide to follow up on a rumour they hear about downloading a demon from the internet. They do so and slowly realise the demon has possessed one of their friends. Over the course of the movie the demon moves from person to person until they finally exorcise it. I seem to remember that one of the guys is running for class president but everything goes wrong because he's possessed too. I actually remember quite a bit about the plot, just not the name. Plus googling anything along the lines of 'download demon movie' just turns up a bunch of file-sharing websites. Also, its a student film/B-movie that played on a pop-up ad so I don't hold out much hope but if anyone knows what I'm talking about it'd be you guys.

Just watched Last Year at Marienbad and it brought to mind vague memories of a somewhat similar themed movie I saw a few years ago. I think it's in English and color as opposed to Marienbad's french and black and white. It's about a man and a woman who happen to meet while walking around a city and I think start to pretend they are married or lovers or something, but as the movie goes on it's not clear if they are actually pretending or if it's real life, the things they say seem to have multiple layers of meaning. Sorry for the poo poo description, anyone know what it is?

You want to know what I hate most about this thread? When someone posts something like this . . .Nuclear Pogostick posted:I vaguely remember a movie about a woman who was doing reconstruction of a plane crash and there being a discussion about poking a hole in a napkin and tearing the napkin up, then trying to find the hole. It was probably mid-late 90's to early 2000s? Not sure if it was theatrical or TV-only, but I remember one of the people being on board was a little blond boy with a camo patterned shirt who was focused on for some reason. . . . and it jogs my memory just enough so I remember seeing what they're talking about, but not enough that I can actually remember what it's from. It's so frustrating!
