I just saw Iron Man 3 at the Alamo Drafthouse, and before the movie they were showing clips from Iron Man cartoons and other things the actors had done. One of the clips they showed repeatedly was Robert Downey Jr barking into a mirror or something, it sounded like he was saying "hut hut hut hut" over and over again. He had a kind of jheri curl haircut - does anyone know what movie this is from?

This one will be easy, I'm sure. All I know about this movie is it's about two people who are traveling together for some reason. One of them is played by Richard King. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kind There's a point in the movie where Richard King's character goes on a long monologue about how a lot of people like him and he's not gonna change who he is, very vague I know but that's all I remember. There's some cheesy 80's synths playing while he makes the monologue. Family Guy parodied the monologue, where Peter did it verbatim if I remember right, with the same music.

The "hut hut hut" wasn't really in a football-sense, which sounds weird but I'm not sure how to describe it - it was more of just a random sound than something that had any particular meaning. Edit: it did look like an 80's movie though.

Might be two girls and a guy. There is a pretty bizarre mirror scene in that one.

What's the movie where the villan has some kind of purple virus spreading through his body and he needs to kill (or do something similarily villainous) to get the serum to cure/prevent the virus from spreading further? Sorry, I know that's a vague description but can someone help me out here? I have no recollection of where or how long ago I saw this.

There's Escape from New York or Escape from LA. In both of them they force Snake into the mission by doing something to him, in the New York they plant micro-explosives in him, in LA a woman scratches him infecting him with a disease.

A TV program from maybe five years ago showed a clip from a black-and-white film, in which a man was speaking, maybe confessing something, near some windows with rain rolling down them. The shadow of the falling raindrops were cast on the man's face as he spoke, imitating tears, which the program pointed out as an interesting bit of cinematography. Every search for a film using rain as symbolic tears just leads me to Blade Runner quotes, so I'm hoping someone can help me identify this.

ajkalan posted:A TV program from maybe five years ago showed a clip from a black-and-white film I know you already got your answer for the movie, but for those interested, the clip was in the documentary Visions of Light, which is about cinematography from the beginning of film up to modern day (which would have been 1992 when the doc was made). There are interviews with some pretty important cinematographers, like Sven Nykvist, Néstor Almendros, and Laszlo Kovacs. I saw it in a film class back in college, and I recall it was quite good. I'd suggest checking it out for anyone interested in the subject matter being discussed by people that know what they're doing.

This has been bothering my roommate and I for a couple of weeks now and we can't figure it out to save our lives. No more than a month or two ago we were watching something on tv that I think may have been a making-of documentary, and the particular scene I'm thinking of involved a giraffe poking its head through a window and picking at the main character's dinner plate. I think the actor talked about how strange it was to have a giraffe stick its head through a window and eat off his plate, but I also might just be making up this whole "making-of documentary" thing up? The point is there is a movie out there in which a giraffe sticks its head through a window and eats off a rich guy's dinner plate. Also, if it helps, the window is on the left side of the frame, so the giraffe's head moves from the left to the right, and the main character (at least I assume it's the main character) is facing us. So... there's that. e: vvv if only romanowski fucked around with this message at 23:47 on May 7, 2013 |

Oh wow that was definitely it, thanks! I've also never seen the making of so I have no idea where that came from, but I guess any time I have a vague memory of something I start to make up a bunch of stuff around it.

I'd like to identify two indie films I've got bouncing around in my head. The first is about a ballet school where the students arrive in coffins and are welcomed into a demanding and kafkaesque practice schedule leading to a final performance/auction for wealthy patrons. I'm like 99% sure it's an actual film and not something I dreamt. The other starts off in black and white, somewhere South America, and a wealthy younger cousin has come to stay with his estranged and distant relative and his live-in girlfriend. They connect, find the younger a girlfriend from among the cabaret theatre that the elder sulkily writes for, family secrets revealed etc etc and it somehow shifts into a heavily The Red Shoes-inspired ballet sequence as they return to America for a funeral for their composer patriarch. Or something. Both should be early 2000s, but I watched them on DVD so I can't get more precise.

I'm trying to remember a movie suggestion, so I haven't actually seen the movie in question. It's about a serial killer, but apparently there's no gore or much violence at all, and it might actually be slice-of-life, from the killer's perspective. I want to say it's an American movie, but I can't pinpoint the year; I can only give a wide berth from the mid-80s to the early 00s.

This is probably one of the many made for TV/video movies about Ted Bundy as most of then take this route. They do have some serious violence in them but the description made me think of both Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Ed Gein as well.

A movie I remember my dad watching in the 80s on HBO or something. Probably a Vietnam War setting, opening scene is all I remember and it's an American thrown into a walled jail cell and the cell filled up to about his waist with water, I think he would have to poo poo and piss in it and it would also be his drinking water.

I have memory of a scene and cannot place the film. It's around 1920-1940 I think (based on clothing) and a lady is trying to pull a baby carriage up some stairs in a train station. There's a law enforcement guy at the top of the stairs waiting for her to get out of the way because "something" is about to happen when the clock strikes the hour. Ring any bells?

If it's colour, it's probably The Untouchables. If it was black and white, it would be The Battleship Potemkin. De Palma homaged the scene.

This is quoted verbatim from an email I just received from my stepfather:FCD's possibly crazy old man posted:I think I saw the film (only once) about 50 years ago (in the middle to late 60's or perhaps in the 70's). I believe it was a French film (perhaps Italian?); that it was in black and white; was about a young couple (but possibly two men, or just one man), driving in the countryside (on an unplanned adventure, or perhaps with a destination in mind but lost, or their car breaks down and they hitch a ride (I would assume to the nearest town or their destination), but instead end up deserted at a remote, desolate (foggy and/or dark?) crossroads, eventually come across an old dilapidated house with an adjacent large old barn or warehouse, around which various junk yard parts and objects are strewn on the unattended weedy landscape.

I'm trying to remember a movie from probably the mid90s that I remember seeing bits of on television. It's either a horror or(most likely) a horror anthology movie. The only bits I can remember are from one bit of it. The scene starts, it's in a graveyard, zombies come up and start after the people in the graveyard, as they're closing in the camera pulls back and we see that it's a clip from a movie based on the main characters novel/short story/whatever, and that they're interviewing him on the show. I don't really remember too much after that, until he starts seeing this thing coming up behind him when he looks in mirrors, and it ends up causing him to have a breakdown. His girlfriend gets him home, covers over all the mirrors and they think it's going ok, until he looks into her eyes and sees the thing coming up behind him reflected in them. It starts strangling him, he starts thrashing around on the bed, she can't see what's attacking him, then he's suddenly transformed into the thing that was attacking him, a kind of phantom of the opera looking thing that I think jumps out the window. I'm pretty sure this was a movie, and not one of the old horror anthology shows, but I could very easily be mistaken.

There are maybe four guys sleeping and then they are roughly woken up and hoods are put on them. Their hands are handcuffed behind their backs and ski boots are put on their feet. They are then walked to a....water slide and slid into a swimming pool of water. After this, I was shooed out of the room because I was too young. Now that I am old and callused, what the gently caress was this movie? I'm pretty sure this was an episode of "21 Jump Street".
