Helicoprion posted:Im looking for the name of a movie late 90s early 2000s. Its about a young guy,hes running from the police for the murder of his girlfriend(I think) he meets a black dude who says he will help him out. but the black dude turns out to be the real killer and tries to pin the murder or murders on the young guy. I also remember it ends with a train in the snow. Its kinda like the Hitcher but its not. Sounds like Switchback. The black man being Danny Glover.

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. Sounds like it could be Shredder, but it's from 2003 and lacks a scythe. The low budget aspect of it ages it a bit though (?)

I have a memory of a mid 90s comedy that had featured black teenagers as the protagonists. Maybe two of them. The one wanted to take this girl out on a date and he would day dream up scenarios. The one scenario I remember was a spoof of Terminator 2 where he is the Terminator and he beats up some dudes in a diner. Saw it on HBO a couple of years ago and never got the name. I think this one is a long shot but you guys have a way of impressing me so good luck!

This had been bugging me for 20 or so years. I post once every few years asking for help. Please help: Brian Dennehy, or someone like that, is a small-town cop. He pulls over this couple in an older car. The man says he did the maintenance on the car himself. The cop makes the couple get out, and makes the boy find grease from under the car (the line I remember is "I thought you kept this car cherry, boy"). The cop then rapes the girl, and tells the guy if he turns around and the gun is pointed at him, he (the cop) will kill them both. If it's not, he'll let them go. He puts the gun on the hood or roof or the car, but the guy never turns around. Later, the couple confronts this cop at a diner or something. It is NOT Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call (before that) or that Stephen King tv novella about Ron Pearlman. An old roommate and I used to quote this to each other, so I know at least two people saw it, pleas help.

Right goons, got a feeling this will be a fairly easy one. This was a short film (I think about an hours runtime) about a down and out nobody that enrols on a drug trial for cash and the side effect of the drug is that he hallucinates he has super powers. I think the drug company has a blue feather for a logo. This goes on for a bit with him running into walls and such still believing he has super powers and trying to be generally heroic. At some point the drug company boss gets word of this and tries to get him back to the company so they can hush this all up. Eventually drug company guy runs over our hapless hero a few times who keeps getting back up and saying "You can't stop me". Eventually drug company guy breaks down crying realising he is in fact a loving huge douche. Credits roll. Edit: I have the impression it is a mid 2000's film, reasonably modern contemporary anyway.

How about a really old slasher/horror film where at one point a guy is screaming, and he sticks his tongue out as he's screaming and his tongue starts kind of growing and becomes a grotesque little head, then his face and head kind of peel off or something and his tongue grows into his new head, as a monster?

Need help finding some art house film. It takes place in the 80s (though I doubt that's when it was actually made) that's basically about a group of upper class 20-somethings who go to an estate in the country and basically murder each other during a constant drug and sex binge. All I can remember is that the primary character is a guy with long spiked hair kind of like this and the trailer has Red Light by Siouxsie and the Banshees playing over it. I also remember someone describing it as "American Psycho meets The Holy Mountain". I watched it about three to four years ago through some  website, so I don't know how much that will help.I know it's not a lot to go on, but it would be great if someone can help.

Another one, from either the mid to late 80s, though possibly a little earlier. It's about a group of young guys who form a secretive vigilante squad on their high school or college campus. In the scene I remember, the group watches one of their targets from afar as he stands talking to some people on a sidewalk as people walk behind him going to and from their classes. One of the group casually walks behind the target with a knife or box cutter and slashes him across the rear end. It takes the target a few seconds to realize what happened, and the guy who slashed him has already blended back into the crowd before the guy starts freaking out. The group watching from afar all think it's hilarious except for one guy who gets mad and says something along the lines of, "We're using knives now? This has gone too far!" For years, I was convinced this movie was called Brotherhood of the Rose based on a novel by David Morrell, but I just looked up the book and discovered that's not what Brotherhood of the Rose is about at all. So what the hell did I watch?

I remember watching some of this movie in the early 90's. It was on Betamax. It was a fantasy film. The bad guys had a mountain/asteroid space fortress. In the earlier part of the movie the bad guys appear to be winning and when one of the bad henchmen gets killed there is a worm-like thing that comes out of them. I don't remember very much about it.

This one is driving me crazy. It was a black and white movie, in the suspense/thriller genre I believe (possibly also noir), that I saw back around 1980 on The Great Entertainment with Frank Avruch on WCVB. I don't remember much about the movie. There was a young woman and a mysterious stranger who may have committed a murder. He came to talk to the woman, carrying the box. It was implied that the murder victim's head was in the box, it was strangely shaped but just the right size to hold a human head. The police came by and she told them it was her box and she kept papers in it, and I have no idea at all if there really was a severed head in it because I fell asleep before the movie ended. I know that's vague, but hopefully someone will recognize it.
