Two movies I have extremely vague memories of from childhood: 1. A kids' animated movie where the protagonist is a little boy apprenticed to /maybe raised by some kind of gypsy fortune teller or magician type character. There's some kind of evil spirit that lives in a book or lamp or something, maybe possessing the fortune teller, and it freaked me the hell out when I was a kid. I think the kid may run away and and join the circus at some point, but he might already be in it from the beginning. 2. This is an extremely vague memory since I think I watched this in preschool sometime in the early 90s, but I'm pretty sure it was some kind of animated Jungle Book spinoff or sequel; I wanna say it's Disney but their Jungle Book sequel came out far later than would fit the time frame. The only thing I remember is Mowgli getting trapped in some kind of creepy cave and seeing a thin ray of light in the wall, but with a bunch of cobras between him and it. That's about it.

Hullo ... sorry to dump this on you, but this has been bugging me all day and my google-fu is failing me quite badly for finding this one. I can remember, some years ago, seeing an east asian film (which I think might have been set in Vietnam) about what I recall was a travelling musician of some sort, and for the life of me I cannot remember what it was called ... I think it might have been "Something rocks", but maybe I'm just getting confused with the band Hanoi Rocks  I can remember a scene with the musician driving through the mountains with his girlfriend on a motorbike or moped, but I really can't remember any more than that. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about that would be marvelous!

I saw a trailer for this movie in the 90's or early 00's. It's about some kind of energy source (cold fusion?) and may star Keanu Reeves, but I don't see any of his films that seem close. All I remember from the trailer is someone holding up a glass of water and saying that it could power an entire city for a week (I may be misremembering the time scale). Two questions: What is this movie? Is is as terrible/fun as my memory of the trailer makes it seem?

A submarine movie from the late eighties/early nineties. It took place in contemporary times, all I remember is: 1) There's a scene where the crew is watching Jaws in the rec room. 2) The sub is trapped between some rocks/a coral reef deep underwater and most of the movie is about the rescue operation to get everyone out. 3) There's a lengthy scene where one of the specialists above the water is talking about modifying a depth charge in some way to blow the obstructing rock away without damaging the sub.

My taste in movies was pretty crap, and even then I remember thinking it was completely mediocre. It's not bad, it's not good, it's just kinda there. You won't hate yourself if you watch it but there's no real compelling reason to do so either.

There was an anthology horror film, I think made for VH-1 specifically. The only segment I remember was about a music agent who had a six sense for music acts that would hit it big then have a huge tragedy early in their career, think Kurt Cobain, or if Chris Brown had killed Rihanna, he'd have represented both of them. The climax of that segment was him getting that feeling (it's represented as a gut punch when he hears the music) listening to his pre-pubescent daughter playing the piano, so he gets her to put her hand in the garbage disposal, and turns it on. All of the segments had to do with music in some degree I think This would have been in the first half of the 2000's probably.

I'm looking for a YouTube video, not sure if this is the right thread but here goes. It's got Scottish comedian Brian "Limmy" Limond in it, it is a fake short for an independent movie, the type they show at Cannes. There's one bit where the guy is taking to his mate and he's all "I've got something to tell you. I slept with Jane. I don't know why I did it, I don't even like her. Want to punch me?" really depressing stuff. Later he's like "want to go kill someone?"

The most memorable thing about this movie to me was the ending, which pissed me off. Almost all I remember is how pissed off I was at the ending. I'm not sure if I should spoiler tag it or not. Maybe spoiler your guesses? I want to say the main character was John Cusak-like, but it probably definitely wasn't him. He was a professor of studying homegrown terrorism? He's giving a lecture and he's saying "yeah my calculations show another one is coming up soon" and the students roll their eyes. Whatever, old man. I am not sure how much of this is me constructing a plausible scenario to support the conclusion and might not be in the movie at all. I'm sorry for this. He gets gaslighted by his friends. They let him in on the idea that they're part of a conspiracy to kill the president. He's friends with the president. He is sure they're going to drive a truck to blow up the white house, or the cia. Yeah now that I think about it it was probably the pentagon. He is tied up but escapes, he steals their car, and drives right to the assassination target to warn them. He drives over the severe tire damage strips down the wrong way directly at the limo carrying the president. Or whoever. The secret service is pointing their guns at him and the president, or cia chief, who knows, says no that is my friend. He's trustworthy. He drives the car directly up to him, in an underground tunnel, and kaboom. He accidentally stole the carbomb and did the whole terrorism, unknowingly, while trying to be a good guy. It wasn't in the truck afterall! The last scene is the next professor teaching his old class about home grown terrorism and he's presenting his thesis about how the now dead and framed main character was mad at the government, his wife died, he was alienated, etc, and he goes down in history as the next McVeigh and every single bad guy walks away scott free (maybe one got punched during his engineered escape, but who cares?) I am tired of googling "movie where man drives car bomb into the president". I would like to not get visited by the secret service for this. Can anyone help me remember this movie? It definitely came out in the last ten years, it was in theaters but I saw it on tv.

I never saw the movie, but I saw the trailer and now I want to see the movie. The movie may not have been released yet, but if I had to guess I'd say it probably has, because I saw the trailer at least a year ago. (I think) It's about this pretty large guy that lives with his mom and plays D&D and other roleplaying games I think. He's big into it, and then some new guy joins his table and doesn't really play "right." He has nerd rage about it. Based on the trailer, it appeared to really be a story about a guy resisting change and resisting the need to grow up. I think I remember there being scenes in the trailer of him getting a 9to5 job or something similar to that. It appeared to be overall dark in theme. Any help here? Edit: I googled for 15 minutes and then posted here. Googled one more time after posting this and found it after one try. - It's the film Zero Charisma. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294965/ Due out in October apparently.

This one might be tough as I doubt it is a popular movie but here goes: About 20 years ago I remember watching a movie (or miniseries) on TV. All I remember about it is some guy seeing an imaginary woman maybe in a courtroom. And I think she was topless...or maybe she had leaves covering certain areas? I can't really remember. I think the reason this has stuck with me is because the song "Earth Angel" was playing and for some reason I couldn't get that song out of my head. Still 20 years later, I still find myself humming it. Though maybe that is because of Back to the Future. Any ideas as to what I am talking about?

I watched this movie recently and for the life of me I cannot remember the name... It's an Asian movie, most likely Korean given the level of violence. There's a crime syndicate with two rival lieutenants, one strait-laced and one a wild man. The crime boss asks the straight-laced lieutenant (our protagonist) to keep an eye on his young girlfriend while he's away on business, make sure she's not cheating on him. He discovers that the girlfriend (perhaps she is a musician, not sure) is cheating on him, but doesn't kill her... and things progress as well as can be expected. Ends with crazy amounts of bloodshed in a posh restaurant/bar/lounge in a high rise building. I remember the name of the restaurant being kind of dumb. This is a newer movie, almost certainly made within the last decade. Felt very post-Oldboy.

I'm going to ask and answer my own question, I hope that is allowed. I drove myself loving crazy for weeks trying to remember what movie this was until a friend finally knew what I was talking about. A black man in an airport calling the main character telling him to flee the country. He just learned how to masturbate and it's his whole world now. He is buying duty free hand lotion and fleeing the country with a duffel bag of jerk off cream. He is kissing his fists because of how good he is at masturbating. He is buff as hell. I was convinced it was either Ving Rhames, Michael Clarke Duncan or "Tiny" Lister. Turns out it was the big hit, and that memory was an amalgam of like three scenes and didn't happen. There never was a movie where Ving Rhames learned to masturbate. If Ving Rhames searches for his name on twitter he would have been loving confused and angry at the tweeting I did asking for help about this subject.

I read about a horror movie in Rue Morgue magazine several years ago, and now I don't have the issue anymore and I can't remember much about the movie. It was the focus of a regular column that was either about forgotten classic horror movies or maybe deserving horror movies that never made the jump from VHS to DVD. I'm pretty sure the article said it was from the '80s. It had something to do with a television frequency or satellite dish causing the walking dead to appear in a town. (It wasn't Terrorvision, although that's a good movie, too). The writer said that the movie was really weird and unnerving, but that's all I can remember.

Well it's time again for me to sit around and wonder what the gently caress that was I watched years ago. (yes it's the football alien egg movie again). I've been looking on wikipedia at "movies with extraterrestrials" and everything. I've looked at anthology series that had alien episodes. I can't find poo poo. I watched this on TV (probably the sci-fi) channel back in the late 90s. I saw it more than once, it was probably a movie but it could have been a TV show but it seemed pretty self-contained. I'm guessing it was made in the late 80s or early 90s. It was obviously low-budget, a large part of it took place in a room and some hallways on a military base, or a spaceship. They had an alien pod or an egg or maybe it was the alien's ship in the room, and they had computers hooked to it. I don't remember where the alien thing came from. They figured out they could type things on the computer (like commands) and the egg would respond somehow, I don't remember (like electrical signals or something, not talking). They were trying to get it open. The computer was a green command line interface. The main "hacker" was a woman. The alien pod thing was sort of shaped like a football, but all bumpy as alien things usually are, sort of like a walnut. It was large, like the size of a VW beetle for instance (it wasn't a small egg or anything). It may have been greenish. They had the computers all hooked up to it and spent a large part of the movie typing things in, seeing it's response, etc. I remember there was some concern over "power levels" and they had to monitor them otherwise ~~bad things may happen~~ Anyway, somehow I think the "power levels" got too high and the egg opened and the alien got out and started killing people. The alien attacks were in a POV shot with a weird filter over it. I think the "power levels" got too high because no one was there to monitor the computer. There was just one alien. It's not Moontrap, the football shaped egg in that is way too small. It's also not Flight of the Navigator, even though the computers hooked up and shape of the alien thing sorta fits. It's also not Sphere. It sucks that "alien egg" and "hacking" are the only things I really remember because it's loving impossible to google either one without things about the Alien series or "worst movie hacking scenes ever!!!" coming up. Probably a longshot but this has seriously been bugging me for years. I can still picture the egg and the computer and everything. Any help would be appreciated.

Opopanax posted:That sounds half like Prince of Darkness. Was it for sure an alien? I just checked that movie out. It's not it. The room with the thing and the computers was otherwise nearly empty, not full of stuff like this. It was like a cement room. The hacking was more like a scientific experiment and in POD they seem to be dressed more casual. It was definitely some sort of creature. I remember the "egg" slowly opening and something coming out, I don't remember what it looked like but it I think it was slimy, I think it maybe was purple-ish slime. It came out fully grown, so I don't think it was actually an "egg". edit - the alien wasn't a slime alien/blob thing, it was just covered in some slime when it got out.

The movie I'm thinking of didn't have a lot of action (at least I don't think so) and most of the time they spent "hacking" the alien egg thing. I'm pretty sure it was a military thing because I seem to remember a military-esque guy coming in to yell at them every once in a while. The eggs I saw in Critters 4 were also really small. The egg thing in the thing I'm thinking of was much bigger.

I could be horribly mis-remembering though. Doesn't look like it. In the movie I'm thinking of most of the drama was just from the hacking, the alien doesn't even make an appearance until way into the movie/show. Most of it was them doing different computery things and seeing what happens. At this point I'm thinking this must have been some TV show, and maybe not "the obvious suspects", like an anthology show or that usually didn't have sci-fi plots or something. At least searching for it has given me a nice list of alien-related b-movies to watch. edit - I found this site that lists the tv schedules for the scifi channel back to 94 and I'm honestly at the point where I'm going to go through 1997-99 or so and google anything that I haven't heard of.

I've asked about this movie before, and no one had any idea, so I'm asking again: The scene I remember is some cop, maybe Brian Dennehey, pulls over a couple driving a classic car. The guy driving says he did all the work on it himself. Eventually, the cop makes the guy get some grease from the car (saying "I thought you kept this car cherry, boy?") and uses it to surprise sex the girlfriend. He tells the guy he can turn around, and if the gun is not pointed at him, they can go, but if it is, he will kill them both. The guy doesn't turn around (the gun is not pointed at him). The next day or something, the couple confronts the cop at some diner. This has been driving me nuts forever.

1. I saw this movie sometime between 1999 and 2002. 2. I saw it on TV, so it could be older than the time-frame I gave, or quite possibly a made-for-TV movie. 3. I have only a vague recollection of the plot. It involves a kid and his friend, who has a terminal disease, which I believe was AIDS. The only scene I can remember is a scene where they're playing a prank in the hospital by having the kid with the disease play dead and the healthy kid go and get a nurse, after which the sick boy scares the nurse . They do this about three times before something bad happens.
