There was some movie on TV way back, and I got bored of it quick and changed the channel. But something I saw a moment ago reminded me of a scene from it. I probably saw it in the early-90s, but I would guess it was made at some point in the early-80s or late-70s judging by the look of the film. Anyway, in the movie, there was some concern about terrorists bombings in the Mideast (I think). Bomb belts were mentioned, and the scene I can recall is some Middle Eastern-looking woman in a crowd of people. She yells something and jumps off some structure or another and blows herself up. I remember it pretty vividly because I thought at the moment of how cheesy it looked in slow motion with her twisting in the air, and the fact that the bomb effects consisted of a bunch of sparks flying from the woman. Also, not a movie, but a TV show that I think was on either Discovery or History, I think sometime in the early-2000s, though it might have even been in the late-90s. The idea behind the show was examining combat throughout history, and they way they did it was by taking a group of people and having them learn the techniques of whatever period the particular episode was about. Then, at the end of the episode, there'd be a big battle with everyone using what they learned to try and win. Most of the time they fought each other. I remember one episode was about Gladiators, with the people dressing up as the different types, like a murmillo and a hoplomachus. I think another episode was about fencing, and the end battle was an attempt to reenact a Renaissance-era duel between a skilled swordsman and an amateur (though I may be conflating that one with another show I saw at the same time). They also had a modern combat episode, were the team trained to act as a SWAT-type unit and at the end had to enter and clear a mocked up house. The show was hosted by a bald English guy.

A friend of mine told me about a movie, but he can't remember the name of it. It's some (fairly recent?) B horror flick where people are getting attacked by a bear in a national park. But the important part is the twist at the end. The park ranger is the bear. Please help me CD! My life's new goal is to see this film.

Okay, here's a weirdish request that I don't really expect someone to recognize. It was something I saw parts of in either the late 90's or early 2000's, not sure if it was broadcast on TV or my parents rented it. It was some kind of coming-of-age story about a nerdy/outsider sort of kid. I remember he had a friend who thought skeletons were kickin' rad, and there was a conversation that went sorta like "No man, I'm telling you. Being a skeleton would be awesome. You couldn't get hurt or anything." "Yeah, but you wouldn't have a dick. No muscle means no dick." "I thought there was a bone in there. Isn't that why they call it a boner?" Towards the climax of the film there was a fantasy sequence or such where the friend in question is actually represented as a skeleton, but in the real events he's getting killed by... I don't remember if it was an accident or a shooting or an animal mauling or something. I just remember the real events getting interspersed with the friend-as-skeleton. Is this ringing any bells? Or did I just describe some weird-rear end dick skeleton movie that doesn't exist

I watched the new Total Recall(euugh) yesterday and there's a scene right at the end where the protagonist wakes up in an ambulance and shoots a bad guy in the chest, knocking them out of the ambulance. The bad guy falls, dead, the crowd looks at the dead body, surprised, but then continues their activity. I'm sure that I've seen these scene before - with somebody getting shot, pushing them out of an ambulance, into a fairly crowded area - does anybody know what movie had done this before?

There's a movie(or potentially a show or a video game? I remember two people(friends, maybe) are staring each other down or something with the one guy pointing a gun at the others head. The guy with the gun pointed at him sadly says "Do it..." and after a few seconds pause screams angrily "DO IT!!!" and the guy immediately pulls the trigger. What is this from!? God I hope it's not that scene from 24.

The first Lethal Weapon has a similar ending, where they are pushing the bad guy into an ambulance, he grabs someone's gun, and Riggs and Murtaugh get him before Busey can shoot.

Long shot because I'm not certain if this is real or a combination of movies or a dream: All I remember is the final shot in which a long rolling shot goes through a series of rooms showing plot points/reasons the character/s were the way they were. The door slams behind the camera as it enters each new room and there may or may not be a reversed scream type sound underscoring the entire shot. The last scene was a red headed woman scolding and/or hitting a child and then the camera goes through the front door which slams like the rest and black screen, credits roll. Given that I'm prone to cheap horror/thriller type movies it is possibly from that genre. Any ideas?

A movie I remember seeing as a kid: The main character makes a deal with the devil to cure him/her of their cancer, on the condition they keep these pies (or other food type thing) that contained the cancer. Character's family ends up eating the pies. This is all I can remember

This was a Zombie movie I saw when I was younger. It was on TV and the quality led me to believe it was really low budget. It was from the late 60s or maybe 70s and was really bad. In color, and one scene I remember they capture a zombie, lie her on the table and she may talk or try to get them. I think they starve it. At another point there is this monster/zombie that looks like black sludge or a guy in a garbage bag and the hero hits it with a bat. Every time zombie movies come up this haunts me and I can't figure it out.

Since I couldn't find a thread for identifying TV series in the TV IV, I thought I'd post my request here. So, I remember seeing one episode of some scifi series somewhere between the 93s and 96s. The main cast was flying around in a space ship when they come across a distress signal of some sort which leads to them finding a seemingly abandoned vessel. When they dock the hull, it becomes clear that the ship is crawling with bright yellow Gigeresque aliens who let out deafening screams. Then the find one sole survivor, a small girl who has been crawling underneath the metal floor grills of the ship avoiding the aliens. The girl was either deaf since birth or she had lost her hearing because of the aliens. Then I guess they rescue her and continue their trekking in space. And no, this is not Aliens even though the series rips off heavily from it (especially the girl who is practically Newt). Do you guys have any ideas what series this could be? I think it was made either in the late 80s or early 90s. I think the space ship crew was all human, so no friendly aliens there.

A few years ago, whilst traveling home on London Underground, I saw a poster on the platform of a station I was passing through, advertising a movie . From the few moments I had to look at it before my train left, I remember the poster being for what clearly was an inspirational drama. There was the silhouette of a guy on a bike, and what I can only guess was a blurb taken from a review: 'Field of Dreams meets Rocky, on bikes!'. I somehow didn't remember the name of the movie, but I've always been curious as to what it was; not because i think i'd enjoy it at all, but because I feel I need to watch a movie which had such a perplexingly dreadful marketing pitch on it's poster. Any ideas?

Ok here's one that's bugged me for AGES. It starts pretty normally in a small town, protagonist is a female teacher, or something...not sure her profession. But she's good with kids, I think. Anyway her husband is a busy body hard working man and he goes off to do his job thing which is dangerous work, or something...or maybe not, don't remember. So she's at home, and hears on the news or radio or something about a terrible train accident (I think it was a train) and it was supposedly carrying dangerous chemicals or something similarly dangerous. So the town is locked down, but this isn't shown much I think, everyone thinks it's no big deal, until everyone starts dying. We never see the husband again, and the female teacher lady befriends this downs syndrome type kid, and it's almost the two of them that's left. And then they die, and the end. I THINK this was a made for TV movie, but may be wrong. Probably a Lifetime Original. I may have seen it anywhere from '98 to '00. Again, not entirely sure, but this was a long time ago. Thanks movie detectives!

A man is cheating on his wife with a neighbor. When he returns from his affair, he finds his daughter dead in the swimming pool. Terrible, but somehow he finds a tunnel to an alternate reality, where his daughter is still alive. Only drawback: there's also an alternate reality-him. Who he obviously has to kill. As the movie goes on he starts to suspect his neighbors of also not being from this dimension.

This may be a film or a TV series, I can't be sure. A man is speaking to a woman, who is most likely a prostitute. The woman has been secretly in love with him (I think) throughout the course of the film. He's telling her that he has figured everything out and will provide for her or something like that, and the woman looks initially happy, teary happy, but as his speech goes on she realises the full ramifications of what he's saying. She says how much she would want whatever he's offering, but she has changed over the course of the film and realises he never will/can. She slaps him and says 'but I'm not your whore.' I suspect this is a really obvious one to identify. The important thing is that she has done an entire speech and finishes with that line. Any ideas?

I'm trying to remember the name of an animated movie from the early to mid-eighties. Apologies for the vague description to follow, but I was a kid at the time and the details are blurry. All I remember about this movie was that a monster (I think) was terrorizing this town and it killed people by turning them into something resembling gingerbread men. I'm pretty sure it was a kids' movie but it scared the poo poo out of me back then. Edit: If it helps, I remember that it was a huge deal with the kids at my school. It was all anyone talked about for months. Half the kids' parents (mine included) forbade them to watch the movie because they felt (rightly) that a lot of it was inappropriate for grade school children. I ended up watching it at a friend's house and had nightmares for a month. ...! fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Aug 15, 2012 |

I'm not sure what triggered this memory, or if was actually a movie or nightmare. I was little then. I think I saw it on TV and it would've been late 80s or early 90s. For some reason I associate it with the Abyss, but I haven't seen that in a long time, so I can't confirm if it is actually that movie. The only thing I can remember is some sort of creature chasing people through a factory/lab (I could be mixing Abyss details). The peculiar thing was that the creature wasn't monstrous, but more like a bright light or fiery person. The creature if I remember correctly was removing people's skin or melting them. Unfortunately, that is all the details I remember. Thanks for any help.

There were a couple deep-sea horror movies in the late 80s. Leviathan and Deepstar 6 come to mind but I dont remember the monster being any kind of a fiery person. Leviathan had weird skin conditions being part of the movie.
