There was a Barbie Nutcracker CG movie in 2001, a bit late but if you want The Nuttiest Nutcracker but with even worse CG...

I think this was a movie, may have been a TV thing. Fairly sure it was a movie. It was on television in the early-mid 90s in UK. All I remember was that the main couple had recently moved house. The wife begins getting on with an interesting handsome neighbor and the husband gets jealous. Other stuff happens. Eventually the neighbor attempts to kill the husband, then disguises himself so well as the husband that the wife doesn't notice. Fortunately the husband survives the attack (which I think involved a car crash of some kind?) and returns and the two of them fight. One of the identical men throws the other off a roof and through a greenhouse, then convinces the wife he is the real husband by telling her all this intimate romantic stuff. The last shot is the husband twisting a coin over his fingers the way surgeons do to train their hands - a habit the neighbor had. Anyone got any idea?

It was something I saw on late night cable, but it was an english dub so it couldn't have been some really obscure anime. I hope. I watched this because of this post. It was trippy as gently caress. I want more. I might check out #1.

Trying to identify a movie that popped into my head recently; hopefully it's more identifiable than the other one that nobody knows: Pretty sure it's Italian, late 80s/early 90s probably. This thuggish guy kidnaps this singer and ties her to a bed so she can get over her heroin addiction of something like that. She originally hates him but falls in love with him. She tells him to put tape over her mouth, or she'll be tempted to scream for help. He buys some special tape that won't irritate the skin, but he pulls it off her mouth to kiss her goodbye, She calls for help, and I don't remember the ending. Looking through IMDB for "Italian" "Kidnapping" etc. didn't produce anything that seemed familiar.

The show has the occasional episode where everything will break down into complete madness bullshit but that's about it. The movies are mostly about other potential love interests from space! and thus are not nearly as rad as the second one.

My brother keeps bugging me about this horror movie he saw at some point, any ideas?My dumb brother posted:The movie opens with a group of teenagers in a 4x4 driving up a snowy mountain. They have the feeling that they are being followed. They arrive at a house in the woods up in the mountains. They go inside and make themselves at home and start drinking. Their evening is interrupted when they hear something outside and go to investigate. They decide to go into the forest for a reason I cannot remember. They are frightened back to the house to find the power and phones have been cut. They are murdered one by one. I cannot remember if any of the group survived I know, most generic film description of all time.

Well, that sounds like about 100% of all the teen horror movies from the 80s. Does he at least have a decade to narrow it down? Are they murdered by a monster, a serial killer, or each other?

He said it was sometime relatively recent, so 2000-Now, probably, and that it was a serial killer/slasher type deal rather than a monster. edit: breaking news, the film may have been a found footage movie.

I suggested that to him when he asked me and he said no. He's not really one to watch foreign language films. It kinda sounds like he's mixing up My Little Eye and any generic slasher flick to me

This may be a movie or a mini series, I can't remember since I was 7 or 8 at the time. Early 80s, french movie/series. What little I remember from the plot involved a policeman/detective/investigator and some sort of political/criminal/terrorist secret society called the "white (or red) hand". Setting late 19th or early 20th century I think. At some point someone was killed with the poison of a plant. May or may not have been somewhat surreal. From what I remember it was like Sherlock Holmes meets Delicatessen. I know this isn't a lot to go by but it's been nagging me on and off for almost 20 years.

I remember very very little, basically just one scene. It was on TV between 1982 and lets say 1995 at the latest although probably later and earlier respectively. All I remember is these two dudes in some kind of underground looking architecture. I thought it looked like a sewer or storm drain system, although the huge kind like in Phantom of the Opera or something. One dude has a gun or a superpower or something. He's either going to kill the other guy or someone else and the other guy wants him not to do that. Then, and this is confusing because I remember it so vividly but it doesn't make sense on an adult level or even a child level in my case, the guy who wants the killing not to happen holds out what looks amazingly like a snow globe, there is no indication this is a magical snow globe or some such thing, he offers to share it with the guy who wants to kill somebody. Anyway the killer guy shoots the other one, because for fucks sake it's a regular snow globe, and the snow globe falls and breaks on the ground. Then I had to go back to bed as I had woken up and wandered out to the front room where my parents were watching whatever this was. It wasn't a fancy snow globe either. Looked like the kind you would find at any old tourist trap souvenir stand. anticake fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Aug 2, 2014 |

There was a movie I saw on TV a few years back where two guys are looking for buried treasure and there's a villain that dresses like a nazi and drinks blood. There's a scene where he puts an IV line from a womans neck to his mouth and sucks on it till it makes slurping sound when you empty out a cup of soda.

Mouser.. posted:Are you remembering this scene from Falling Down ? Nah. One of the only things I remember vividly was the cheap white plastic bottom, painted dark blue back half of a souvenir stand snow globe. Also my general memory of the guy with the snow globe offering it to the guy who was going to kill some one as some kind of trade for the victims life.

I remember seeing the trailer for this movie about 10 years ago. Two kids, a boy and a girl, play a game where whoever is in possession of an object (I think it was a box) can dare the other person to do something and they have to do it. It starts off light hearted and sweet but eventually they grow older and I think one of them is about to get married and then the dares escalate to doing dangerous stuff. I don't exactly remember what happens but I seem to recall someone almost getting hit by a train or car and there is an explosion at one point. May have been a foreign film.

I remember a hong kong kung fu movie, I believe set in the past. It's heavy on the wireworks and CG effects which I dont normally go for, but whatev. Theres a particular scene where two master fighters throw down in the absolute pissing rain. They are both badasses to the point they are able to do spinkicks that send the water shooting up like deadly blades. Describing it sounds really goofy, but in practise I remember it looked amazing. This was probably about 10 years ago, so it almost certainly did not look amazing, because I was an idiot. Whatev though, I'd like to know what it was.

I remember falling asleep during some late-night movie on HBO years ago, I would say that the movie was from somewhere between 1983 and 1993 or so. There's some kind of bad stuff going on at a strip club and a cop (or private eye or something) talks with some woman who's going to strip onstage, and I guess they couldn't afford to have the actress also do the stripping, because she gave some excuse about how she could only strip if she could wear her special mask, then they cut in this obviously taken-from-elsewhere footage of some other woman with the same hair color stripping while wearing one of those elaborate masquerade-ball masks. Kind of like the stunt Francis Ford Coppola pulled with borrowed stag-film footage in "Tonight For Sure" back in 1962. I was already half asleep when I saw the beginning of the flick so I'm trying to figure out if I just hallucinated it or something. I don't think it was any of the "Stripped to Kill" movies.

When I say they are fighting in the pissing rain, I really mean it. The water stands around an inch deep so everything they do sends spirals of water around. It's just occasionally deadly. I think.

I have a vague memory from 4 or 5 years ago, when I a bunch of top X films lists, like IMDb's top 250 and 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, were like watchlists for me. From that time I remember reading about a film depicting a battle on the eastern front of World War II that was supposedly rather great. I feel like it was a movie about the battle of Stalingrad or Leningrad. However, IMDb doesn't give me any obvious canon films depicting these battles. The closest I can get is Stalingrad from 1989 by Yuriy Ozerov, but it's nowhere near IMDb's top 250. I'm gonna watch it anyway, since I don't particularly care about IMDb's top 250 anymore, but since I seem to have gotten the idea from there I wonder if it's the right movie. Are there any films depicting these battles particularly noteworthy?

Ok, trying to track down a movie I have never seen for a friend. It may have been on Showtime or HBO but this is the synopsis from her. It starts off this young woman at this boss's house and he's taking pics of her to post on his escort website. her little sis is there and she steps out so the boss and the chick can handle some business in private. Then the little sis starts going with big sis to her gigs. and waits outside. OK but somehow it links all these random rear end people together and so the dude who paid for her last night might have connections with this other person. so there's all these different stories going on but they all have some connection. there was the dentist who was in love with his hygienist. but she was married to a hit man who was partners with one of the dudes who was paying for the girl. But the husband of the hygienist falls in love with the sister of the call girl while his partner and the call girl are inside. the two are both waiting outside and hit it off. Then i think the call girl murders that guy Any ideas?

Some early 80s slasher flick. Saw bits and pieces on HBO when I was a wee lad. Killer's gimmick was that he wore one of those gimp mask deals with the zippered mouth.
