I'm looking for the name of I think it was a French movie made in the 2000s. I seem to recall it being stylistically very similar to Brotherhood of the Wolf, e.g. lots of crappy CGI and weird kung fu poo poo in the 1800s.

I don't remember much about it other than it being a very stylized action noir-ish murder mystery featuring a killer in a mask that looked a lot like this:



It served as the big image on the front cover of the DVD.

Yes, that's it, thank you. I really wanted to like it, but obviously it didn't stand out in my mind as anything noteworthy, as I forgot it even existed until I played Dark Souls 2.

Chasing a vague memory of a movie that must have been out in the late 90s, it was something like...

-Super Touchy Feely movie
-Main character is this teenage girl
-Coming of age type story
-Deals with family themes a lot
-The family is in France or Europe for part of the movie?
-They have a maid?
-The Dad dies?

Thanks all.

Movie about three white (likely Italian) petty criminal guys in a large American city. They are generally down on their luck screw ups but also decent guys. They plan to rob an armoured car. The heist predictably goes wrong, and they can't get into the car. Then the old guard in the car has a heart attack and they become much more competent, breaking into the car to get him out and call an ambulance. It turns out that they guard never saw who was trying to rob him and doesn't know it's the same guys who saved him. They get medals, and during the award ceremony they start squabbling.

I thought the name was 'knockaround guys' but that's not the plot of that movie, according to Wikipedia.

Awful is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.
It's not a movie, but I'm trying to find a commercial from a while back.

It was a high school hall with lockers. A kid had headphones on and was walking in slow mo, smiles at the end.

The song playing was T Rex.

I want to know what that song was.

I couldn't possibly say without knowing what the commercial was for, but five'll get you ten it was 20th Century Boy, The Slider, We Love To Boogie, Get It On or Ride A White Swan.

So there is this movie I saw the trailer of some time back, but I can't remember the name. I figure this should be pretty easy.
So if I recall the plot was something like this drug addict in a hospital spinning this tale to a girl to get the girl to get drugs for him, as a framing device for the rest of movie. The story was some sort of historical adventure fantasy about a multi-ethnic team of people who were sorta caricatures. A Sikh with explosives? A Spanish swordsman? Something like that.

I'm looking for a movie I saw maybe five or six years ago. It was from a Netflix DVD that the girl I was dating at the time had. It was set on a boat that floated through some weird fog. The boat was a smallish sail boat. I remember a scene where some guys and left the drifting boat then came back kinda dazed. The whole movie had a hopeless tone about it. Like the boat was floating in some purgatory.

This was an MTV promo -- I think the late 90s. The song was "20th Century Boy."

I actually took a screenwriting class in college with the guy who wrote this movie.

How's life in a bigger prison, Dae-su?
The beginning of the film starts at a funeral and all I remember is that an older man (father?) is a pallbearer for his son (I think) and it shows him walking and holding the casket and he crumbles to his knees in a sobbing mess.

This is all I remember. I think the film is no more than several years old. I can't remember anything except the beginning scene.

This could have been a tv show, not sure. I was 5, so pre 1990. I only remember one scene and I have a pretty good image still in my head.

A little person tackles a man through a window on a skyscraper.

It was daytime.

Sorry.

You think you're looking at me through some window, when all you're really doing is looking in a mirror.
I saw the movie a long time ago on TV somewhere. It was in English and all I remember is that there was some kind of evil mansion (I don't *think* it was haunted, it had a more of a freskshow vibe) with a roller coaster that that killed people at the end. Felt like an early/mid 80s film.

Nothing But Trouble. I had to Google it, because I also dimly remember it and constantly misattribute it to The Burbs in my mind.

Ah, I was wrong about it being the 80s! Thanks so much. It's been in the back of my brain forever! Reading up on it, it's the film that killed Dan Akroyd's career.

This is super vague but for some reason it's been bugging me and I can't find what it was online. I saw the end of some film when I was a kid in the 90s, and it was a mix of live action and animation or rotoscoping. It was a fantasy film because it had a dragon breathing fire, but actually ended as live action with two teenagers, boy and a girl, and it ends with the camera pulling back out of the house. I didn't even see any other parts of it but for some reason its floated back in my memory. I would peg it around the late 80s or something, I saw it on tv.

The ending doesn't really fit your description, but might it be Pete's Dragon? Otherwise this list of live action/animation movies might help you out a bit.

Nah it looked more high school oriented than that. I looked through that list and didn't see it, so it's also very likely I'm misremembering it. Thanks though!

There's this massive air raid(?) on a base, but all you can see is anti-aircraft fire going up at night. The characters are taking shelter in a hanger, and this bald dude who looks like Moby (or that Soul Coughing lead) with glasses is looking around, asking questions, looking nervous. I saw this on TV around... 2005 or 2006.

This is another really vague one. I saw a movie within the last several months that has a song in it, and I can't remember what film it's in so I can't look it up. I'm pretty sure it was either an indie film or something that's definitely not some huge blockbuster studio picture, it definitely came out within the last few years (or at most within the last 10), and it was a drama or thriller that took place in modern times. The song played over the final scene and end credits, and it was that kind of 80s throwback electro style with a woman singing, like Ladytron or Phantogram or something that would be on the Drive soundtrack, but I checked and Drive wasn't the movie I was thinking of. I doubt anyone can come up with it based on what little I can tell you, but maybe someone's seen the same movie recently and just happens to remember that detail. I thought I'd take a shot in the dark. The only reason I remember it is because I remember looking up the song after hearing it in the movie, but I don't remember what the movie was or who the artist was.


[edit]Found it! I was thinking of the song from the Maniac remake.

Back when USA Up All Night showed super-softcore skin flick/comedies, one of them was about a team of girls competing in a contest to save the [school/orphanage/beach], in a game show called "Bikini Showdown" (movie was not named Bikini Showdown). I remember it because it had an utterly bizarre POV sex scene from the woman's POV that was played for laughs.

If it helps, this was the Rhonda Schear years, not the Gilbert Gottfried years.
