I'm trying to find an old british tv documentary about the holocaust where the presenter was scooping up water from a pond at a concentration camp and talking about how the ashes of his relatives had likely dissolved there. It was in colour and probably from the 70s or 80s.

What's that sci-fi film from a few years ago where there are a bunch of kids at a party and all of them get time-displaced duplicates created of themselves

A black and white film about gods creating existence that's basically a non-stop scene of people super bloodily eating each other over and over again.

There was a comedy film I saw ages ago (back in the late 90s, early 2000s, though I think the film was older than that, maybe 70s or 80s?) with my dad which we found hilarious but we have no idea what it's called and I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. I think it was to do with spies during the cold war and possibly something about a proxy war in not-Iraq/not-Cuba, maybe? Unfortunately, my memories of it are really fuzzy now but I do really clearly remember one scene: The heroes(?) land on a seemingly deserted tropical island (I think in the Caribbean) and find, bizarrely, a hotel just standing on it. When they go inside they find a whole load of people with suspiciously thick Russian accents 'staying' at the hotel. When the heroes ask for a room they say they're full. They then go from the lobby to the dining room and, while walking, you can hear in the background all the Russians running to the dining room to take their places, then they go to a third room and the same happens again. If I remember correctly (and in case it isn't obvious) the hotel turns out to be some sort of secret listening post and/or missile base. I think there was also a scene where a bunch of soldiers say they'll die for their country before being shot and falling into a pool. Sorry this is all so vague but I saw it when I was much younger. I do recall it being incredibly funny at the time (though I was a kid, so what did I know).

There was a trailer for an indie film I saw a couple of years ago in a youtube channel I no longer can find. The channel's logo was a hipster moustache over a bright neon/magenta background. The movie was about a woman with intimacy issues who was married to a guy who worked at a supermarket. The woman was in charge of the security cameras, and worked along a security guard that also was a fireman who had lost a hand. Her husband was cheating on her with a supermarket employee (who for some reason reminded me of Anna Kendrick, but it's not her, according to Google). The film seemed like the kind of weird off-beat thing I like, so if anyone has any idea what it's named I'd be grateful for any leads.

Not necessarily a movie, but my sister told me she remembers a segment of something on PBS sometime in the mid to late 1970s when she was a kid involving a marionette dancing to The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood." She said the marionette looked like Mr. Magoo of all things, and it definitely wasn't from a show, but was probably shown in-between shows as filler, or perhaps was part of a telethon/pledge drive. She's fairly certain it was also the master recording of the song, too, and not a cover or sound-alike or anything like that. Googling turns up nothing, but I still think it's from an educational show of the time. You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Fairly recently (2012 at the earliest) there was a documentary/art film about human use of water, lots of very expensive cameras pointed at for eg step-wells, the belaggio fountain, a drying out river bed, an housing development with an squiggly lake so every house is by the water. Opened w/ a shot of one of those chinese dams venting a tremendous amount of water. Released as an coffee table book at the same time.

Hopefully someone knows this movie, because Google is failing me. I am 99% sure it was a Japanese movie, though I guess it maaaaybe could have been Korean. It was about two rival/dueling assassins, or maybe hitmen. They wear American president masks at one point. Someone soaks cigarettes in water so they can extract the nicotine and inject it into someone. They have a discussion about Metal Slug and where to find the secret weapons. What the hell is this movie called? It is at least a decade old.

I believe that may be Fulltime Killer, but I'm not completely sure if I'm mixing that up with a different one. I remember the nicotine scene more than anything else. e: nope, has to be Fulltime Killer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvOa5Bff-EQ My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jun 9, 2017 |

I've had the line "You don't need a doctor, you need a priest!" in my head the last couple of days and I can't remember where I heard it. I'm guessing it was a movie (not Sleepers), and probably a comedy. In my head, I can hear somebody like Rodney Dangerfield saying it.

Afraid that's not it. I'm not even sure if that is the exact quote. It was something along the lines of "You don't need a _____, You need a _______"

Is it the Seinfeld episode where the car smells like b.o. and Jerry says "you need a priest to get rid of this thing"? I know it doesn't fit the template, but you never know.

I remember seeing this movie on a plane flight to China a a decade or two ago. Can't remember the language. the plot was an action comedy thing were a dweeby piano teacher inadvertently foils an assassination plot on a local mob boss and gains a reputation as secretly being said boss' legendary hitman who's shadow hand technique killed like 40 people in one night or something. I remember a scene where one of his teenage daughters classmates wants to learn said legendary technique from him and he deflects it into a piano lesson. There was a line like "playing piano is the first step since the black and white keys represent the duality of the shadows"

Sorry if the details for this are too scant, they may be My father was telling me about a great French film about/involving world war 2 collaborators, but he couldn't name it. Tried googling for French films about WW2 collaboration but I just got a doc

Army of Shadows is about the resistance, but as with any film about the subject, there are collaborators/traitors involved. I haven't seen it, but Malle's Lacombe, Lucien has a main character that is a collaborator. There are some more suggestions on this page for you to peruse if neither of those are it, not all French, though. http://www.cliomuse.com/french-resistance-and-collaboration-in-world-war-ii-selected-movies.html

There was a movie in the 80s where the driver or a crew member on an ambulance was a zombie or freaky weird type guy. For the longest time, I assumed this was Cannonball Run, but looking at the pictures, it definitely wasn't Jack Elam. Any ideas?

Just wanted to say that this is a really fun thread to browse through to find movies I want to watch. The descriptions of half-remembered fragments make some of these films sound so compelling. Definitely adding Heaven Can Wait and Bad Day at Black Rock (from back around page 200) to my Netflix queue when I get off work.

The movie I'm thinking of featured the zombie-ish ambulance driver as a main character type, friend to the lead. ChrisXP posted:The end of The 'Burbs? Nope, but 'Burbs is one of my favorites. Good thinking, though.

I might have to accept that it's Jack Elam after all, and my memory has just colored him.
