Thanks! It wasn't that film but it pointed me in the right direction. It was a quasi-remake - Deliver Us From Evil (Denmark, 2009). Scene is here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkKD0y_7X9g

Trying to remember the name of something I watched around 6 years ago. The main feature of the movie was that it was entirely shot on one set, basically: a black stage with everything marked out in white tape or paint or something. It was about a small town and some girl that came there and made a stir. Edit: someone on IRC got it. Dogville. Qtotonibudinibudet fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Jan 4, 2015 |

Thanks, I'll check it out. Any idea roughly when in the shows timeline the episode falls?

Trying to identify a movie I saw when I was a teenager, could've been mid-to-late 90s. There is a scene where an empty house is floating down a river (being transported between locations?), and I may be misremembering but there is a scene where a woman is in the floating house and has sex with a man on the hardwood floor (perhaps he's recently deceased?). actually I have no loving idea anymore if this is a movie I saw or a dream I had.VVVVVVV joke answer/serious answer : CHAPPiE, gorgeousness BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 11, 2015 |

There's a trailer to an upcoming/short film that I believe I first saw on io9.com, but I can't find it now. It's set in the near-future, where androids with a very basic AI have become common-place. However, the story revolves around some sort of enclave in some desert/barren area where a bunch of androids whose basic AI has become more advanced. The trailer involves an android putting on a wig, perhaps some make-up. It appears to be about how humanity would deal with a developing intelligence within their android worker-class, or something. Not a generic "evil-AI" story, but one where they want to become human, thus the one android in the enclave trying on wigs. I can't remember the name for the life of me. Edit: Nevermind, it's Automata - http://io9.com/automata-trailer-shows-off-a-robot-action-movie-that-ge-1624643662 LashLightning fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Jan 11, 2015 |

A Pasolini film. One of the early scenes shows a dude jumping into the water, after he argues that you don't die if you eat and immediately take a swim. He then rubs his face full of sand, and there's a close-up while he says something.

These two are basically low-budget Mad Max rip-offs from the eighties I haven't seen in ages: The first one I think is one of those Italian ones there are about two dozen of. A team gets assemble to find or escort a kid or girl, who is telepathic, and, I think, therefore considered a mutant in this future. In the end, the main character is also revealed to be telepathic. Memorable scene was that one of the team gets captured, and encased in a wall in concrete with only his head (and hands?) sticking out. Main character finds him and he asks to be killed, so he twists his neck. The second one was American, I think. Main character is sort of a low-rent Patrick Swayze. It's about salvage drivers, and the memorable scene early on is just after a car accident, where one of the bad guys talks to a severely injured guy and tells him to sign the salvage contract, then he'll call an ambulance. He may or may not haven given the car the guy's trapped under a few whacks with a sledge hammer to make his point.

I'm looking for a documentary that I thought was on Netflix a while ago, but I can't find it. Tried googling different things, nothing. It's about death. It focuses on like four or five people who are all suffering from their own terminal illness. The whole documentary is switching back and forth between them all as they deal with their last days. One of them was an awesome, crotchety old guy who wheeled around an oxygen tank and totally had a sense of humor until the very end. On the opposite side of the coin, there was this woman who was kind of in denial about it and compensated by shopping at thrift stores. She only one friend who she cut off completely near the end because she was so depressed.

A movie popped in my head the other day from when I watched it in middle school or elementary school. I remember it being about a Japanese submarine getting sunk during WW2 and a Japanese soldier from the sub ends up in California(?) and found by American kids. The kids try to keep him a secret and that's all I remember. I think it may have been made in the 90s? I'm not really sure, I know it wasn't in black and white.

There's a movie called Russkies that is basically that(and stars a young Joaquin Phoenix!) but it's a Russian and isn't during WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russkies

This is a long shot, but I watched a documentary a few years ago about a neighborhood fighting to close down an art museum. The folks complained about the traffic and... that's all I can remember.  I've been going through my Netflix history but can't find it. Also, does anyone know of any tools that would allow me to get more data from my Watched and Rated Netflix histories? Like if I could find a way to get more data and put it into a spreadsheet, I could sort by genre and year and whatnot. I know there used to be a bunch of Netflix apps, but didn't they shut down their API or something?

I noticed that the information you get from your 'What You've Viewed' page is different if you view it from the Netflix Instant site versus the Netflix DVD site. The Instant version can list what you ranked chronologically (in terms of when you ranked it, not the date of the movie/TV show), so theoretically you could export all that somehow and figure it our that way. Unfortunately I don't know of any script that does that automatically (if you find one, let me know).

It's a found footage movie where a friend locks his best friend in a cabin in the woods to try to detox him from his drug addiction and they fight a lot and a bunch of weird poo poo happens. That should be enough to identify it, I would think. It doesn't appear to be on wiki's list of found footage movies. I watched it on Netflix sometime last year.

I caught it maybe a year or two ago on Netflix, and it was recommended after I watched "Serving Life" and "How to Die in Oregon." It was also made recently, within the last four years or less I would guess.

Some of the site doesn't seem to work well but for DVD activity: https://dvd.netflix.com/RentalActivity?all=true Right-click > view page source and copy/paste it into notepad and then into excel/spreadsheet. But that page only has movie titles, star rating and ship/return date. Probably not what you want exactly.

I saw this movie on TV in the 90's, I would estimate its age between 1985 and 1999. It was about a middle aged man who hires a transient worker off the side of the road to help him with some odd jobs around the house. There is something off about the worker but only the man can see it and his family get lured into the charm. The man tries to get rid of the worker by paying him off and taking him away but the vagrant returns and starts to take over his life. The movie resembles a thriller version of What about Bob and is also similar to Cold Creek Manor. Many thanks

Can anyone name a romance film from the last decade or so where a woman runs into a man after having a bad morning, they then go on a romantic day adventure, and later she finds out he was her childhood bully? Would of been on Netflix in the last few years.

That thing where a character is remembering something that keeps repeating in their head. Which movie has this where the character suddenly hears "Read my lips, no new taxes"? I'm thinking Airplane! but I'm not sure.

Okay, so I remember watching a movie on a movie channel (probably HBO). This was near the end. Also, the movie wasn't too old. Probably came out in the mid 2000's, MAYBE the late nineties. So there's a scene where all of the movie's characters are sitting around a dinner table at night. Maybe five-seven of them? They're an eclectic bunch. A white teen girl, a black man in his early thirties, maybe a couple of older guys. Anyway, they all seemed to be opposed to one man. This guy was a typical, slick politician they all had it out for. They were attempting to poison him. This backfires, and he ends up poisoning them, or something. When the movie ends, it pulls out and they are all dead. The scene is then represented with action figures or dolls or something. With the politician standing over their dead bodies. One last thing I remember about the dinner scene is the black man is very angry and hyperactive. He has some argument with the white teen girl who is an uptight, conservative. He says something along the lines of "what you need is a good, hard dick!" That's all I can remember. It seemed like an interesting movie to watch from beginning to end, but I can't recall the name and it's driving me nuts.
