Okay I had a dream about a movie last night and I want to get this out of my head while i still remember. I'm PRETTY sure it's a real movie but it's possible my brain made it up. I think I saw it as a kid. It's an oldish comedy similar to Clue, about a goofy but effective detective involved in a mystery. Okay, here are some scenes I remember. The detective is trapped by a femme fatale along with a few former lovers, acquaintances, and others I do not remember. He is given a gun and told it has real bullets, while the rest have guns with blanks. It gets a bit blurry here, but I think he is told one of the people he is with has tried to kill him or betrayed him in some way and he must shoot them. Through some deduction he figures out that two of his party are accomplices of the femme fatale and shoots them instead, foiling her plans and surprising his companions. In a humorous final bit, one of the guys gets angry with the detective for leading them on and fires his presumably harmless gun, hitting the detective in the arm when it turns out not to be filled with blanks. The detective is hurt but has some reasoning for the gun being actually loaded. There might be a scene later where the detective has to escape from some bad guys and falls from a building into the back seat of his manservant's (butler? It isn't clear) car. He thanks the butler but he was just there to get some laundry or something. There's also a love interest who fits into it somehow. Sorry I don't have more details. This is killing me - I looked through the plots of all the pink panther movies because it seemed pretty similar to those, but I don't think any fit. Hopefully someone can help.

That has a ghost ambulance driver, I think you get to see him once in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpiIKUT7QxY&t=153s - For a clip of it, cant find where you see the guy inside.

My BF asked if I remembered a movie involving a 90's kid screaming 'sooooooo sue me!'. I was like gently caress IDK, 'Last Action Hero?' He's guessing on 'Universal Soldier' 'Suburban Commando' or 'Mr. Nanny'. Any ideas? I told him yeah IDK, but I know a place on the internet that I can ask.

There's a Larry Cohen film called The Ambulance where a sinister ambulance abducts healthy people. You can tell it's sinister because it's lit from within by green light. Doesn't really have a characterful driver, they're more generic thugs, but there's a whole lot of standoffs with a mean ambulance

Sounds a bit like the original House on Haunted Hill where a subplot is about the owner of the house and his young wife who hates his guts. There's a fake out shooting in that one. ''Arriving late at night in separate funeral cars with a hearse leading the procession, Loren's guests are told the rules of the party, and each is given a .38 ACP caliber pistol for protection. Forced to attend the party, Loren's wife tries to warn the guests that her husband is psychotic, causing them to be very suspicious of him.

The movie I'm trying to remember was late 80's or early 90's. It was about a research vessel that finds a sunken Russian submarine. They all get infected, and the crew members all start melding into one another. It was like a weird mix of The Thing and The Abyss.

This is a comedy, and there's a scene in what is essentially an Applebee's (some lovely chain restaurant) where one of the characters demands to see the chef so he can compliment him on the jalepeno poppers (or a similar dish). They drag out some kid who microwaved the food. I think the characters are drunk. I feel like this was not an obscure movie at all but I can't picture anyone's face or any other scenes.

Or possibly the sequel Still Waiting (yes Waiting had a sequel). Comedy Central used to run it in the daytime to give a sense of quality, which you probably also expected.

I'm looking for a quirky, maybe indie movie that was a sci-fi comedy set around kids in high school. I remember that it had a lead character that looked a lot like Bo Burnham. The humor was a little more adult-y than for kids, but I can't put my finger on other aspects of the film. I remember I watched it in the early 2010s and I laughed a lot during it. It may have had something to do with monsters? There was a whole bunch of different characters. It wasn't Sky High.

I caught a glimpse of part of a movie as I was heading out the door a few days ago and not knowing what its called has been bugging me ever since. It was a live-action film, at a guess from the late 90's-2000's, and the scene in question had a guy on his hands looking up at an angel descending from golden clouds, dressed in something similar to roman legionnaire's armour and not wearing a helmet. The scene was set indoors, and I'm not sure if the guy was actually seeing an angel or if it was all in his head. I'm also pretty sure it's not Legion.

Angel in armour with no helmet reminds me of Dogma, but the rest doesn't line up so I'm just ruling that out.

There is a movie, I think it came out in the last 10 years-ish. It's confusing, There is a scene where two people are having sex (I think) and it keeps cutting to images of decaying animal bodies or something. And there's this disconnected part of someone's family that lives out in the Bayou or somewhere. It reminds me of "Adaptation" and there are alligators and fear. But I don't think it's Adaptation. It was a really hosed up movie. Please help.
