Not real sure on some of these details, but I think it was a movie from the 70s. A police officer (out of uniform) and his son are in a car. They have a passenger, another guy. The guy turns to the kid and says "So when you grow up are you going to be a cop like your old man?". He seems to realize he used the word "cop", so he turns to the officer and says "sorry".

It was a sketch comedy movie. The only sketch I remember to any real extent is an animated segment about the brother of Jesus. I saw it in 2009 or so via Verizon's On Demand service. It looked to have been made around that same time period. I think there was a framing device of two movers taking a break from moving a house to watch TV.

it was some weird horror movie. There were these people running onto a ship or something (one of them looked a little like Jeff Golblum) to escape these monsters. They were floating balls that had blades rotating around them and a mouth but no eyes. A dude in a suit was laying on the ground all bloody and they were gonna get him, he was yelling about how he'd do anything if they'd just go away (he kept saying "please just go away!"). I was pretty young and I honestly might've dreamed it but it seemed pretty real

I'm looking for an Italian 80s action movie similar to Strike Commando but that's not it. Same concept though wherein the most badass bounty hunter/mercenary/soldier in town goes into a treacherous area to shoot everything. The only thing I remember distinctly about it is a part that's actually in the trailers where the hero is captured. While being taken away by the bad guys they suddenly shove his hand into a toilet full of poo poo. The hero is shocked and the bad guys are like "We're outta ink but we still gotta take your fingerprints somehow."

Okay now I'm not sure if it was a Sci-fi original movie or just a regular film, but I know it aired on the Sci-Fi channel mid 2000's. The plot was maybe about a military team going to some sort of underwater base to recover some artifact that the bad guy uses to open a portal to hell at the end of the movie. The only scene I clearly remember is that there were ghosts trying to kill them and the only way to get them was to use these super freezing grenades. In this scene a girl gets into waist deep water in a small room and the ghost pulls the pin and shuts her inside and the rest of the team tries to help her but the grenade goes off and the water and the girl is frozen solid.

There is some movie where there is a quick Silence of the Lambs parody. It's like two guys are talking about a girl and one of them goes "I'd like to eat her liver with a glass of wine and some fava beans" and they both start making the mouth sucking noise. I am having thoughts along the lines of Wayne's world or another Mike Myers movie.

What's the film where (iirc) the parents/mother are dead and the brother/dad works 2 jobs at night, and always leaves a paper crane or something on the little boy's bedside table to let the boy know he looked in on him between his 2 nihht jobs. The working brother/dad basically never sees the kid so it's a really important bond between them. I think maybe one nught he can't make it home and it's a really big deal. This also could be a book or an anime, I'm not sure.

A woman is being chased by a guy in clown costume carrying a shotgun, she runs into a bar with only black guys and yells something like "There's someone chasing me, does anybody have a gun!". The clown guy enters the bar and is met by everyone in the bar pulling a gun on him.

Possibly an adventure film of some sort, all I can recall is what I believe to be a climactic scene: The villain's gunboat has a bomb or artillery shell placed in the steering mechanism for the ship's main gun. The trick is that if the gun is turned far enough, the end of the steering mechanism will hit the shell and blow everything up. At first, it looks like this trap isn't going to work: the villain orders the gun steered into place, but it isn't turned far enough for the hidden bomb to be hit. But then the guy manning the gun's turning wheel slumps over onto it to take a quick rest, and the weight of his body turns the wheel just far enough to hit the shell and set it off.

This sounds very much like a slightly misremembered The Guns of Navarone.

I have a movie to identify! 1980s-early 1990s American movie. A bunch of kids decide to make a video game about cars. They either time travel or they do in the game. They go back in time to when Mercedes was founded and the kids met the daughter, which the company was named after. It was full of all kinds of hilariously bad 'programming montages'. I'm thinking it was called Whiz Kids or similar - IMDB isn't aiding me. There was a random concept electric car in it from the 80s or 90s that kinda looks like the google security carts:  Please help!

This is a distant memory of a single scene. A group of make warriors battle a group of women with snake-like tongues. The women wrap their tongues around the men, but they chop them off. There's a scene later of a guy getting impaled by an arrow into a tree. Would have been before 1995. Anybody have any idea?

There's a scene I caught a few seconds of on cable over twenty years ago. A guy is cutting a woman's naked torso with something that looks like a church key and it makes a red line of blood as he pulls it down her chest from sternum to belly. The way it was presented seemed more like a sex scene than a slasher movie attack. This most likely would have been from a movie from the mid-Eighties to early Nineties. Anybody?

I'm not sure if this was an actual movie or not, but it was creepy enough when I watched it a few years ago and less than a week before Halloween, I'd love to find it again. A girl moves into a new flat (only it's old) and is making videos about her new life there and everything seems fine. Then, of course, weird things start happening. She finds an old coin, she finds a wallet, and when she calls a number in it, the man who answers is very agitated. Then it seems like someone is stalking her and so she has a friend come over to spend the night and there's a sudden, abrupt ending ala "The Blair Witch Project" with some text explaining the girl is missing and please call the police, etc.

TV movie from the early 80s. High school football team where the qb is injured and a  girl qbs the team, struggling at first but of course leading the team to glory by the end.One detail I remember is the cheerleaders had a chant initially of "(guy qbs name), he's our man! If he can't do it, nobody can!" which of course gets changed when the gal takes over (and everyone in the world is against her) to "(her name), she's no man! If she can't do it, anyone can!" or something like that.

Very long shot, I remember a scene from a movie/tv movie or tv serie when I was a kid about nuns running away and getting shot in the back with arrows. This would be from the late 70's early 80's. It's been bugging me since then wondering what that was from. It scared the poo poo out of me back then.
