Okay I've had this scene in my head all day and I can't for the life of me remember what movie it was from. One of the 'bad guys' comes home to find a man sitting on a chair in his living room with a gun (it's fairly dark). The guy with the gun says something like "Don't go after/hurt [Protagonists] or I will come back and kill you". I'm sure this scene has been in dozens of movies, but I'm fairly sure this was from a blockbuster released in the last two years or so.

Trying to find a movie where all I remember is one scene from it. The movie had a politician die and someone else used a similar name to get voted into office. I remember seeing a family walking towards a voting office and saying "who do we vote for again? Oh yah we always vote for (name here)." I can't recall anything else about the movie but it was probably from the 80s or 90s. EDIT: Never mind! Was Distinguished Gentleman.

I need help remembering one. I know it is a European film. I remember a couple on a boat. The women meets someone when they dock. There is a scene in a restaurant with white lattice fencing in it. I don't remember much outside of that. I think they were on their honeymoon. I would guess it was from the 60s-70s. Fat Lou fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Nov 13, 2013 |

SubponticatePoster posted:I was also thinking of Polanski, but Bitter Moon, which takes place on a boat with a couple on honeymoon. Neither of those are right. Don't know if it was black and white or not, but I have a suspicion it was. I know that the boat was docked for the most part of the movie. Also, I am pretty sure that it was on a river. I am going to guess it was French or Italian. Edit: Just remember it. It was L'Atalante. I somehow completely misplaced the time it took place in.

Even though this has been answered for you, "The Fury" also kind of fits the bill although it's a brother/sister team. Also directed by DePalma and a fun watch.

I believe this movie came out in the early or mid 90's. It was a kid's movie. It featured two brothers that were a few years apart in age. I want to say the youngest was 8 or 9 and the oldest around 11 or 12. I think the parents might have been away but I'm not sure. Anyways, they had their friends over and a prank war was started between the older brother and his friends and the younger brother and his friends. I think it might have been a direct to TV movie.

This is going to be ridiculously vague, I'm warning you. I haven't posted before because I assumed no one could get it from my terrible description, but here goes. I saw this movie on an airplane. It was on the way to China and I know for sure it had subtitles so, of course, chances are pretty high it's Chinese. The same flight also showed Firewall, so this was around 2006 or 2007. And since it's on an airplane it can't be that rare of a movie. I barely remember it though. There was something about a couple, but there was a pretty heavy emphasis on shoes, for some reason. I recall a scene where a guy is just staring at this huge pile of shoes in this sequence which I remember as being very surreal and dream-like. Also there was some kind of angel? God, this is vague. This has been torturing me for years, though. Calamity Brain fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 15, 2013 |

There's a movie where towards the end, as some kind of act of come uppance or show superiority, in a setting like Central Park, one man pisses on another man. For some reason I think of a slick character like Dennis Hopper or Christopher Walken doing it. Or was it Michael Douglas in Wall Street?

Could it be Re-Cycle by the Pang brothers? A lot of the parts fit: Chinese, 2006, subtitles, surreal, dream-like, angel. I don't specifically remember a pile of shoes but it wouldn't surprise me either.

It took place in a castle or mansion, and I think it was a slasher where the usual handsome twenty-something "teenagers" get killed one by one. I only really remember a dark-haired guy in a memorable red satin shirt or similar, who was the killer and/or also the devil or a demon. I think he was monologueing at the end. That's about all I have to go on. The shirt might have been silk, or something else, but I remembered it for some reason. He might have been the killer monologueing, or maybe a demon or the devil narrating the ending after everyone was already dead. No idea if there was a specific dialect. I don't think so.

It's not Thir13en Ghosts is it? IIRC that ends with some monologue and he's wearing a red satin-like shirt. The rooms are kind of dungeon-like and the overall effect is a bit 'castle-like' too.

Nevermind guys, I think I figured it out. After googling dozens of combinations of "chinese" "shoe" "angel" and "movie," I think I've uncovered that it's some weird looking Taiwanese movie from 2006 called The Shoe Fairy. Thanks though, I think I'll give Tony Takitani a shot anywho.

Ok my brother and I have been trying to locate this one for about 3 years now. 1) We remember watching it late night about 1995-1997. 2) It was definitely an 80's genre (maybe sci-fi) film 3) The only scene we remember is the following: - A desolate planet -- maybe a martian desert or post-apocalyptic Earth. - The "hero" (a man) and a girl are in some kinda dune buggy out "searching" - They get near a cave in the sand - When they enter to explore they are captured - The girl is held captive while the man has to run this weird obstacle course - The cave "master" is some dude named (close to "Digdogger" but that's a Zelda memory mashup i think) and he is in some sort of chair with like 6 legs and he's all deformed with maybe an eye patch - One of the obstacles the hero runs is a spinning wheel of blades 4) That's all we remember Props to anyone who can help us out with this one! I've thought of Mad Max but no dice.

Here's another one I just thought of: I think it's a dark comedy. Saw it in mid-nineties. Possibly an 80's movie. All I remember is a dark night, there is a party going on in a mansion by a lake. The camera pans from the middle of the lake toward the lighted mansion. It turns out there is a huge octopus that comes out of the lake and kills some people inside the party. The odd thing is that the death scenes were all cardboard cutouts of the octopus, it grabbing people, and the waves are those saw-like cardboard cutouts moving back and forth in opposite timing (imagine watching an on-stage play with the water in two or three different spots being pulled left/right from someone behind the sides of the curtains). I'm certain the sound effects were over-done to make it extremely comedic. Hope that rings with someone...

This probably won't be too hard. One of those tip-of-the-tongue things. What's that 90's big budget hollywood movie that takes place in somewhat older times where the hero has to prove himself by going through some sort of wooden gauntlet that's raised above the ground on scaffolding or something? It's outdoors and it's a really hard gauntlet and very few can do it but he does it. This is like in the first act of the movie or something and isn't central to the plot. It's just an action beat.
