This was a Kung-fu movie I saw as a kid, so probably 70s or 80s. I remember a lot of training scenes, one where the guy had to carry a bucket of water in each hand, arms out, up a hill, and he had knives on his arms that would poke him if he dropped his arms.

Cool thanks. Apparently that's a widely known movie. Shows you how many Kung fu films I've seen.

This just came up in an IRC channel and we're all racking our brains trying to figure it out: There is some post-apocalyptic or zombie type movie where the survivors are in the desert and this one dude in the party can ID canned food by shaking it or tapping it and listening to the inside or SOMETHING. I have googled every combo of search terms about canned food and identifying and movie/film and I've got nothing to show for it. I almost want to say it was one of the Resident Evil movies?

Been trying to think of a couple of movies I watched when I was younger. One (live action) had a group of kids going to some other place or world but I think I recall them starting off in their kitchen at night. I may be confusing this detail with something else but I think there may have been a kidnapped baby at some point that one of the girls of the group ends up saving or finding. It was probably an 80s or 90s kid/aventure movie. The second is where a boy goes in to some kind of large toy car and drives it through a red and white tunnel and ends up in some other place, I'm pretty sure he ends up in a cartoon maybe befriending a wizard? This one may be older than the 80s.

It's been a few years gonna repost this.Perpetual Hiatus posted:Massive longshot this one. I saw this maybe 6-8 years ago, very late at night. Im pretty sure its eastern european, comedy-whodunnit, subtitled. It is raining and a man is driving to a hotel, pics up a hitchhiker. Hitchhiker leaves a gun in his car. Man gets to hotel, the characters are slightly introduced, someone is killed. Everyone blames the main character (because of the gun) and they tie him to a chair.

This is a kids movie I have a fuzzy memory of watching in a theater; must have been late 80s / early 90s. It starts off at a birthday party where the main kid character has a disappointing time or something. I think the party was pirate themed. The kid falls asleep or starts imagining the main part of the movie where he's on a pirate ship with a few other odd characters (they may have been muppet-type things). The only part of a movie I distinctly recall is that they come across a sunken island with treasure on it. The reason the island sank is because it had been bombarded with so many cannonballs that it got too heavy. The kid has a genius idea of running the cannons "backwards" to suck up all the cannonballs, thereby raising the island to the surface. The thing is that I saw the movie in Sweden, so there is a distinct possibility the movie is Swedish (in which case I'll probably never ever find it). The infuriating thing is that I could have sworn I discovered what the movie was like 7-8 years ago but I've forgotten it since.

I think caught this on Comedy Central around 15 years ago, which would probably put the movie in the 80's to very early 90's. I remember two scenes: 1: A dinner date between a schlubby looking guy and a goth/wiccan girl. He's uneasy during the entire dinner date because she has no idea how to act in polite society, while she's a few steps removed from a feral animal. Dinner comes, and she tears into a piece of meat (chicken, I think?) like a wolf taking down a rabbit. Mortifed, the guy bolts for the door. The scene cuts back to the woman, a hunk of meat still dangling out of her mouth, leaning her chin on her hand. "What a guy..." 2: A group of teens (read: 30 year olds) taking out security cameras in a building (a school, maybe?), one of which notably imitates kung-fu cries while wielding a bottle of spray-paint in each hand. This might have been a rock music montage, but I couldn't say for certain. I'm sort of sure I'm not getting two movies mixed up.

Movie 1: I am trying to identify a movie based on a (maybe futuristic) society where people are being (sent / born) on an island, food and resources are delivered in containers which are refillable at certain stations - I remember this is a sci-fi movie probably 10+ years old. Movie 2: I honestly am not positive this is a movie it might be a television series. I remember seeing it on sci-fi channel approximately 10+ years ago also. This movie revolves around what you are led to believe are small rocks/stones which appear to be biting people and causing them to mutate and rebel. I vaguely remember something about these rocks being aliens or something like that.

At one point she spits onto the plate and says "Bone" if that helps.

There was an '80s film that kind of had a time travel or ghost-possession element to it, I think it was a father helping his son in the future, or something like that. The memorable part was that there was a drag race that aped Rebel Without A Cause pretty good, does this ring a bell for anyone?

Here's an old one I saw maybe over 10 years ago: I'm not sure ,but I think it was some guy telling a story about his childhood, or how he used to see things when he was a kid. I remember a part when some kid comes home, and his dad's dead asleep with giant bugs on his face or something like that. At some point the kid fell asleep and dreamed about hanging out by a lake with some friend of his (might be wrong, not sure) and then a nuke went off nearby and somehow destroyed only the town he lived in. I remember him describing how the bombs finally fell and how he and his friend were the only survivors. He then ran through the burning town and saw his teacher or some preacher still alive, only his head replaced with some freaky alien one(i think he believed the aliens came to take over after the war was over). And there was another part, where he's in his neighbor's house, writing pig all over the walls and pictures in the house, the woman living there walking in on him taking a poo poo in the middle of the place. That alien mask thing scared the poo poo out of me back then.
