I actually saw most of this movie today, which makes it more embarrassing that I can't figure out what it was (it was on "Comet TV" today, which doesn't appear to have a schedule listing of past shows). It was an old black-and-white sci-fi movie about a TV that walked around and did stuff. The TV sort of helped out the main character, to his resentment and dismay. The TV did things like helping him shave without his consent, and changed the music. The TV walked around on four little pedestal legs. The main character hated it and wanted to get rid of it, but whenever another character took action against the TV, the TV zapped them with a beam and they forgot about everything and left. One character hypothesized that the TV was a robot from the future that took the shape of a TV to fit in. Any ideas? (Yes, I realize this all sounds like a fever dream.)

Was watching Fast Times At Ridgemont High last night, wife was pretty sure there was a sequel about their lives when they were grown up and got married. However, at least searching Wikipedia, I don't believe there was a sequel to this movie. I see there was a TV spin off, but from the wiki page it doesn't appear that was about their lives when they grew up. I thought maybe it was the breakfast club that had a sequel, but I'm not seeing anything. Is there an 80s high school movie with similar to Ridgemont High which also had a sequel about the characters when they grew up? I'm hoping this is not too vague a question, not too many possibilities.

Or you might be thinking of something like St. Elmo's Fire or The Big Chill which are spiritual sequels to those types of movies.

I saw a short film on youtube that I thought was called "Step on a crack" a couple years ago, but looking for it again I am coming up empty. I don't think there is any script - just music - but I don't think it was a music video from a band. A guy is walking down a sidewalk in a city and it is a very surreal video with a LOT of CGI. I don't remember exactly, but it seems like there was a part where the sidewalk was breaking apart and falling down into nothingness as he was walking across it.

I saw a movie on VHS tape in 1998 or 1999, it seemed like a fairly recent movie at the time, so I would guess early-mid 1990s. I think it was some kind of big-American-city crime/detective flick but I might be remembering wrong on that point. Anyway, the scene I particularly remember had the main male and female characters walking home at night on a quiet city street, and they encounter some grizzled old street performer with a guitar, and they talk with him for some reason and ask him something about playing a song, and he says something like "not just a song, the best song", and then he launches into this slow acoustic-guitar-and-vocals version of "Danny Boy" and basically the movie plot grinds to a halt for a couple of minutes so this grizzled dude can sing "Danny Boy" on this dark quiet street.

Almost definitely Miller's Crossing e: Doesn't have that specific scene but this song is featured in it and it hits basically every other part of what you're saying

It's not Millers Crossing. It's a made-for-Showtime movie called "Gotham" (aka The Dead Can't Lie) w Tommy Lee Jones.

A horror movie featuring a clown with stained sharp teeth, that shows up accompanied by a white flash of light. No kids were involved, the clown targets one particular central character, might be a period piece. Came out at least 15 years ago. Modern-ish, low budget. May feature a scene where the clown comes out of the tv. That's all the details I could get from my friend.

time to ask about this again..it's been driving me nuts for so long and the only results of googling is me asking about it Brian Dennehy (or someone like him) is a small-town cop, and he pulls over this young teenage-ish couple, and makes the guy get grease from under his car, and rapes the girl with it. He tells the boyfriend that if he turns around, and the cop is holding the gun, he will kill them both. But if he isn't, he will let them go. He isn't but the kid never turns around, and so the cop keeps raping the girlfriend. A line I (kinda) remember - "I thought you kept this car cherry, boy" - when making the kid get the grease. The boy and girl confront the cop the next day at some diner. 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 in the late 90s, so I know at least two people saw it, please help.

I forgot the part about how the singer is homeless with one of those oildrums full of fire that all homeless dudes had in 1980s movies It really needs to be seen for how ridiculous it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FERU_7cLI1I e: The reason I couldn't remember more about the movie was that even when I was a yoot, this scene struck me as so ham-handedly bathetic that I had to shut the movie off while laughing and couldn't bring myself to watch any more tacodaemon fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Nov 27, 2016 |

I'm certain my previous request did not exit beyond a concept phase, but I'm sure this one is real! Part 1: a dude becomes obsessed with static on TV, like it contained messages from aliens or something. I think he might have been particularly obsessed with static on VHS tapes but my memory is fuzzy on this one. I just recall there seemed to be an absurdly long section of the movie about the guy watching static on TV. Pretty sure this was made in the last decade, I also seem to recall watching it on Netflix so it's possible it could have been a made for Netflix thing. Part 2: Another 80s kids movie, kid was in a fantasy world at the base of a tree that be had to climb and I think a voice said something to the kid like "you are the writer of the story" so the kid realized he could just say something like "I found a step" <step like stump grows out of tree> "and another step" <another stump appears> and so on until the kid climbed the tree.I seem to recall once the kid made it to the top, be entered like a glass shaped sphere thing where a young girl was waiting. Pretty sure the girl was a villain, and pretty sure the girl was like eating strawberrkes or raspberries.

It's been an age since I saw it, but that's the plot of White Noise - what are those shapes hidden in the static? They're monsters out to get you! If you remember Nathan Fillion being in it and it sorta ripping off Final Destination it'd be the sequel.

It's a movie I saw when I was a kid. If I had to guess it's from the mid/late eighties. It's a medieval movie iirc. I remember there is a part where a guy sees his friend, who is a woman pretending to be a man bathing in a lake so he gets naked and hops in. when he goes under water he sees her naked and blows a bunch of "shocked" air bubbles out of his mouth.

Bit more of an open question this time, because I haven't (as far as I can recall) seen it, just learnt about it from cultural osmosis... Where did the idea of two people agreeing to murder someone for eachother, such that the one with motive has an alibi and plausible deniability, begin? It might even be from a book or something. Hell, maybe real life.

It may not be the first case of this trope, but it's likely the most popular.

I've got two I can never seen to remember / find. 1) I can't remember if this is a proper, full length movie or, like, a one hour TV special. It's a kid's Halloween movie where some monsters/aliens appear and some kids help them keep the mean old people from stealing the candy or something? The clearest thing I can remember about it is that one of the aliens is basically a pogo stick that repeatedly says something like 'boing' every time it moves. 2) This is, I think, an 80s movie. A family buys a large toy robot that is meant to fire nerf discs and nerf balls at the kid, but it ends up loading CDs, ball bearings, and other supposedly lethal objects into its launchers and goes around killing people.
