No problem. Oddly enough, I've just finished a rewatch of Ultraviolet. It still holds up very well.

Just found the scene towards the end of the first episode. The aesthetic is not exactly what I thought it was (the opening stuff is... interesting), but I'll give it a watch because it looks pretty well acted.

Ok I think this one may be a doozy because my memory of it is extremely vague. Probably early to mid 80s, and all I seem to remember is a quasi-futuristic setting, and this guy playing the piano while the protagonists were stuck in something like quicksand. I almost think the piano had something to do with them sinking. Feel free to declare me insane.

Hello. I was hoping there would be a thread of this kind because a certain film has been bugging me. I only saw the last 5-10 minutes of it some years ago so I cannot give too many details. The film is in color. Judging by the visuals it was made in the 90s or early 00s. The little dialogue that I saw was probably in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. Then again I could be completely wrong and it might have been an English language film. Anyway I gather it was a gangster film of some kind. Now as I remember the events: the setting of this end sequence was a rural village, most probably in southern Europe. There is a man, who I assume was the main character, and a funeral going on. He approaches the casket lying on a table outside. He is an uninvited guest, the people attending the funeral a short distance away. An old woman, the mother of the deceased, cries out in anguish "he is defiling the memory of my son!" (presumably a reference to something that happened earlier). One of the men, a guy with long curly hair, perhaps the brother of the dead man, approaches the first man and stabs him. All the men are wearing black suits. The picture has a heavy sepia tone throughout. Now, as far as I remember, the rest of the movie, some several minutes, consist of a somewhat surreal scene of the first man hobbling and crawling through the deserted village, bleeding heavily. Probably he dies in the end. Almost any part of what I said above could be false as my memory of it is somewhat dreamlike by now. Thanks for reading and thanks for anyone who could suggest what the film was. EDIT: Replying to below: unfortunately not; I saw the part a few years before that film was made. d64 fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jan 31, 2014 |

ZenMaster posted:This thread has given me the answers to my greatest mysteries, and I thought of one more: probably 80s and very early 90s. A village of people [possibly Tahiti or some other tropical place] is sick with some disease and everyone is burning up with fever. A doctor is caring for the people and they all decide to run down the beach in the night and jump in the ocean to cool off. The doctor is yelling and begging them to stop but they don't and all start swimming. Then it cuts to the next morning and their bodies are all over the beach. Seemed to be about the doctor, no idea if it a true story or not. Ideas? Haunts me to this day... Sorry if I missed it, I read through all of the most recent pages since my post, just seeing if anyone else might know what this movie was... thanks! Just random googling leads me to this: http://treatyrepublic.net/node/651 Which sounds similar to what happened in the film, but I can't find a film about that incident.

Help me out with this one, please, should be easy. An old movie about a boy whose only accomplishment over the summer was he developed his ability to hold his breath for a long time, gets caught in some kind of espionage scene, his ability to hold his breath winds up saving his life, ta-da, hero. Probably 1960s or so. Could even be Disney for all I know.

Can't seem to find a proper plot synopsis except for this one, but the comments do mention that one of the main plot points is the main character's ability to hold his breath.

Yes indeed, you're good. This appears to be it, also apparently known as "Deadly Roulette, How I spent my Summer Vacation". Only copy I see for sale offhand is on ebay, $39, not even TCM is selling it. Made for TV in 1967, good job finding that joint for me. Oh, and the review you linked links to another review, maybe more informative. Starring young Robert Wagner and Jill St. John. Haven't actually seen it, just had it described for me years ago. Nice job. ED: Sorry if I spoiled it, I was just reciting what little I could remember. SnakePlissken fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Okay, this one's a really fuzzy memory from about 20 years back. It was this cartoon we watched in health class where a boy and possibly a dragon learned about the dangers of alcohol (and possibly other drugs). I remember what I'm almost certain was a female blue bird singing in a raspy Marlene Dietrich voice this song where she just kept crooning "ALCOHOOOOOOL!" I also seem to remember the boy and his companion then singing about the walls crumbling down and the bar around them collapsed. Huge points if you know what in the world this cartoon that has haunted me for years is.

Line from a movie that's been in my head. I think maybe Samuel L Jackson is being held at gunpoint when his phone rings. The other guy says not to answer it, they argue, and finally SLJ (if that's who it is) says "Shoot if you're gonna shoot, I have to answer this call".

Ok, so I just watched The Breakfast Club. I was enjoying it as usual and was bracing for the emotional impact when one of the kids died. Boy was I thrown for a loop when the credits started rolling and nobody had died. I seemed to remember the ending being similar, but as Bender walked into the sunset they faded in a memorial page in the school yearbook for one of the kids who had died earlier in the film as Don't You Forget About Me was playing in the background. Normally I would have chalked this up to just remembering wrong, but I can't explain how I remember this imagery so clearly. My question is, Does anyone know of a movie similar to Breakfast Club, except someone dies and they show a memorial yearbook page as the final shot? Sorry if this is an odd question, but it's really killing me.

Oh, it wasn't a movie. It an old episode of Family Guy that parodied Breakfast Club. That explains why I thought it was from the movie. I seriously could have sworn that the geeky kid died toward the end. Figures I would remember where it was from an hour after I posted a question about it in the thread.

So I watched Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon at the recommendation of a friend. Great movie that really hits all the right notes as a meta-commentary of the slasher genre. My favorite part was the one chick yelling out "So this is my fault because I'm sexually active?. The thing is though that I think my friend might have been confused about it because he told me things happened in the movie that I never saw. He said it was a tongue in cheek documentary about their tricks of the trade for slashers. How they look like they're walking after their victim but the moment the victim looks away the killer starts sprinting or pulls out a skateboard. What movie was he talking about? Edit: There was a Freddy Kruger cameo mentioned as well. A clip of a man hidden under shadows for anonymity. Says something like "I can't tell you who I am or I'd be in big trouble." He then goes to ash a cigarette and you can see the claws of his glove. Ride The Gravitron fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Feb 9, 2014 |

The walk-run thing is in a deleted scene on the DVD. Maybe your friend watched it and misremembered it as being in the film itself. Robert Englund is in the movie, not as Freddy, but as someone hunting down Leslie Vernon. Maybe the Freddy thing happened in another movie and your friend put it in this one because Englund is in it and also because of the nature of the film.

I've never seen the whole movie, just a scene on Youtube and now I can't find it at all. It's a black and white comedy that takes place during WW2. A truck full of soldiers are passing through an American checkpoint and they have to prove they're not Germans, so the guards manning the checkpoint pose a bunch of questions about American pop culture like "What's Ted Williams' batting average?" or "What's a jalopy?" I want to say Sterling Hayden is in that scene, but I'm sure that's just Dr. Strangelove screwing up my memory.

I'm looking for 70s-80s era movies with night-time explosions. Preferably, a house exploding. Think Lethal Weapon house explosion, only not in the middle of the day. So far all I can think of are The Thing and First Blood, neither of which are houses, but they'll work in a pinch. Any ideas? vvv Yeah 90s is cool too.

I have a very vague memory of a movie from the early-to-mid 80s featuring two people skiing down a hill, one chasing the other. The guy in back has a sickle (the handheld kind) and might be dressed kind of like the Grim Reeaper. There's a close up of the sickle held up against the sky and then it descends. I know I never watched the whole movie, that was just a clip they showed in a commercial on HBO for a Month of Horror Movies. I also "remember" the victim's head rolling down the hill, but since all I saw was a clip in a commercial, that's almost certainly my young mind filling in the blanks. In any case, that clip scared the crap out of me and I always had to close my eyes whenever that commercial played.
