Black & white film. A tense scene where a woman waits in the car while, offscreen, her accomplice is committing a robbery. This scene was discussed at some point in The Story of Film: An Odyssey, but I can't remember which episode (probably one of the ones dealing with New Wave cinema). Obviously I can eventually find it myself, but I'm hoping someone just knows it off the top of their head.

I'm reasonably sure it's the bank heist scene from Gun Crazy, and I couldn't find it before because I misremembered it as being a European New Wave film. Thanks!

anticake posted:I had a vague memory earlier today. I'm pretty sure it was on Comedy Central in the daytime, but in the 90s when they were mostly running lovely poo poo you've never heard of from the 80s and 70s. Two dudes wind up at the same place, a theatre with a typical theatre name Orpheum, Orpheus, Odeon, pretty sure it started with an O anyway. The two dudes wound up there by figuring out some kind of series of clues. They used different solutions and somehow ended up in the same place. Then they found out that their whole system of solutions was completely hosed, but they happened to end up in the right place by pure chance. I want to say they were detectives, but that might be because they were following clues in a movie which seems to indicate detectives although it could just be a thriller I guess. Although it was on Comedy Central so it was, at least nominally, a comedy. A Thriller Comedy? Detective Comedy seems more likely. From way back, but this turned out to be The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Younger Brother with Gene Wilder. Caught part of it channel surfing one of the local sub channels on the antenna by random chance.

It was a buck Rodgers/flash Gordon esque parody type film, all I really remember is at one point the Ming the Merciless guys wife starts macking on him and he shrugs her off saying the equivalent of "love with you would be like laying with my mother... And I hated that" . Makes it very difficult to Google! I'm sure it isn't the one with Jon Lovitz, and I remember watching it with my parents on broadcast TV so I can't imagine its like, Flesh Gordon or whatever

Red posted:Nope, I know that flick pretty well. The movie I'm thinking of featured the zombie-ish ambulance driver as a main character type, friend to the lead. Any possibility it is zombie buddy cop movie Dead Heat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB6IW1PunPQ I don't recall you saying how much you'd seen of the movie, but if you were flipping through channels and this was on there is a definite possibility you saw a scene with a zombie ambulance driver as a main character type.

I Remember catching a movie on TV when I was younger. It was either about an alien or parasite, but it infected a US solider or someone in a uniform, and want to pass on its seed. One scene I remember was the uniformed guy sitting down and calmly blowing his head off with a shotgun and then his head regenerating due to some power or what not.

morestuff posted:Same. The first one is surprisingly fun, though. It is, but it has an incredibly stupid scene where they're doing that thing where the song on the soundtrack during an interior shot of a driving scene is meant to be playing on the car radio. Cut to external shot when the car parks, song becomes louder when the door opens and stops when the ignition turns off - you know the one. Species does this cliche for cliche ... except the car is a convertible with the top down.

Which Chuck Norris movie is the one where he's left for dead in a pick-up truck in a pit but then hours later someone poors beer into the pit and this allows Chuck Norris to fully recover and drive out? Did I mix this up with something similar that's not a Chuck Norris movie?

Lone Wolf McQuade - Chucky, having been shot and beat to poo poo, is stuck into his turbo'd Ramcharger and buried, wakes up, sucks down some warm-rear end beer, then wises fwom his gwave using the MIGHTY DODGE just in time to save a couple of his buddies that were about as hosed up. Can't verify, but this should be that scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfLTbzU0FXo Classic Chucky cheesefest from the early '80s. Goes good with Eye For An Eye and The Octagon, IMO.

Guy's a construction worker, I think he's John Turturro, there's a scene where he goes up to a house that's already framed out and takes his hammer out and breaks apart all the framing.

An indie UK film from the late 1970s/80s: It's filmed like a documentary and is a sort of oral history flick. Over a series of interviews, people talk about witnessing an event where individuals grow wings and turn into birds or angels and ascend to the heavens. All of the people interviewed have different takes on the event and no one understands what happened to the people who were chosen/evolved. The movie is long- like, maybe three hours. It feels very much like a BBC program with sort of loud/obnoxious musical segues between interviews. I think the guy who directed it has made a bunch of indie movies, but I don't know his other works.

Movie starts at a house in the middle of nowhere at night, lots of snow. Middle aged husband and wife are are going through a typical routine, have dinner, then get ready to go to bed. Husband breaks down and tearfully tells his wife she has to leave NOW, he's hired a hitman to kill her and it's too late to call it off. Wife escapes and the rest (that I vaguely remember) of the movie is her evading the hitman. At one point she shacks up with a young couple; the lady half of the couple is in a wheelchair, but later its revealed that she's actually not crippled and the couple has been lying to the wife about it the whole time. Time period is either late eighties or early nineties. What the gently caress movie is this? I saw it like 20 years ago on tv and its been driving me nuts.

Not a film per se but I think you guys would be good at figuring this out. Is there a name for this sort of 70s not-quite psychedelic style and any suggestions for movies that use similar feel/style/effects? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNHJFNRIamw

It also reminds me of the 1970 Dunwich Horror which liked to represent unknowable horror as a negative w/ a weird colour. And it's getting even further but it's always worth watching the old Vincent Price Roger Corman Poe movies for their extensive use of coloured lights, especially Masque of the Red Death.

Era: mid-to-late '80s/early '90s - definitely pre-'97 and post-'85 Genre: Action/Cop Country: USA Rating: R for violence, language and (I think) nakedity Something I caught on cable, but I don't believe it was direct-to-video. LA plainclothes cop/detective, apparently famous for shooting people/quickdrawing and shooting, is being hunted/stalked by some insane cowboy-rear end in a top hat, who's leaving a trail of dead cops as he heads to LA. (IIRC he might be collecting badges as trophies, but it's not that vampire movie.) rear end in a top hat is using a single-action revolver in a western gunbelt rig, if I remember right. Also IIRC, cop gets suspended somewhere along the way, but before rear end in a top hat arrives for the Final Showdown. I want to says the lead looks like Michael Pare or similar, but it's not him according to IMDB. Well-dressed, rugged-looking guy, not a beef monster like Lundgren.

A similar sort of set up would be the plot of Justified. Edit: Similar in that some of those elements are there, though the actual plot is different. Great show, though.

I think I recall a movie or TV Show where some guys are having a meeting, and when the meeting is done, the camera zooms out, revealing that the captain or whatever is sitting in a bathtub, or on the toilet or something. Is this from anything?
