It’s no longer on Netflix UK, which is why your search didn’t work. I hope you’ve learned a valuable lesson.

Not sure if this belongs here, because I have such little I remember, but I remember it so strongly and have never found the answer:

There was this movie (or maybe it was a tv miniseries) that I think was set in some almost-monochrome brown-and-white setting where there were orbs floating in the air. The one thing that I distinctly remember is that the setting had some sort of red latex rubber gloves that made singing noises (shot by having someone taking off the gloves and reversing the film, so it looked like they clumsily attached themselves to the person's hand) that were used for medical procedures that somehow went into someone's body to take out Bad Stuff. I recall a scene where some sort of doctor-person (that I want to say was Paul Winfield) using them correctly, but the movie/miniseries also had a scene where some not-from-this-fantasy-world dude had to use them.

From what I can remember, it was about an actor who played a sci fi hero on TV being teleported to a spaceship or alien planet or something and asked to help out. I also seem to remember the guy being called something dumb like "Captain Jupiter" or something like very cheesy sci-fi thing. I know that's not a lot to go on...

I saw it on TV in the mid-90s, so it must have been released some time around or before that.

I don't expect you guys will have any luck with this one because the guy doesn't have much at all here but please take a stab at it:

1. An action movie in which a Chinese-American policeman goes to visit his sister in the rural town where her husband is sheriff and finds that it is being menaced by neo-Nazis. The climax of the movie is a big martial arts fight between him and the neo-Nazis' shirtless leader in the neo-Nazi base, which I believe was some kind of scrapyard or foundry; he beats the leader, which disillusions his followers, and when the leader tries to attack him from behind he is shot dead by one of his men, who had been conflicted throughout the movie.

Saw a movie late at night on cable (this would have been around 1991?). It was foreign, and subtitled. I only remember two scenes from it:

1.) A kid (I think) says something along the lines of "I never liked this painting. In fact, I hate it!" and slashes it up with a knife.

2.) An outdoor scene at night in which someone says "And now for the fireworks!" and they set off, like, four bottle rockets and everyone oohs and ahhs over it.

There's a couple of movies I saw on late night television many years ago. Maybe someone can help me identify them:

2. A blonde woman is kidnapped and held prisoner in a basement by an Annie Wilkes type (who wears a fake pregnancy belly at one point and who I recall had this creepy monologue about veal) and her boyfriend, a creepy bearded guy in glasses; they want her to act as a surrogate for them. The creepy boyfriend disappears at some point (I think the female kidnapper might have done him in; I don't remember) and the two women briefly become friends, but it falls apart when the kidnapper discovers her victim has cut a message into her skin when they're visited by a doctor.

At the end, the kidnapped woman's husband finds the house where she's being held prisoner, but the female kidnapper beats him up with a baseball bat. The kidnapped woman gets free after this and starts hitting herself in the belly to try and miscarry the baby she's carrying for the kidnapper. That's all I can remember. I recall it having a title like "In Plain Sight" or "In Open Sight", but I know that wasn't it.

Cord AKA Hide and Seek. The creepy boyfriend is famous weirdo director Vincent Gallo

Wheat Loaf posted:

Wow.

It looks a hell of a lot cheaper than I remembered.

Haha, good grief, it's from same director who did Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Okay, there's another one I remember from the same era of sitting up late to watch movies; I was going to ask about it in the last post but thought maybe it was a bit too obscure. It was a thriller movie where the bad guys are either housebreakers or kidnappers; one of them is a taller skinny guy with blond hair and a goatee while the other was a shorter, pudgier balding guy. They target a woman, who I remember being blonde and whose character I believe was partially sighted. They want her to give them some kind of combination at one point and she doesn't know what it is, so she makes it up.

Scenes I remember: the main character's boyfriend (?) shows up and reveals that he's in league with the bad guys, then has a fight with the blond bad guy in a workshop or a garage and dies when he's kicked over and falls backwards onto some kind of spike; and the blond bad guy stalks the woman through the same workshop/garage and is beaten when she manages to blind him with a bottle of spray.

I'm looking for a found footage horror film from around 2002 about a group of young adults who are filming in a haunted plantation. One scene in particular had a girl looking in a mirror and a ghost appears behind her.

Probably The St. Francisville Experiment.

happyhippy posted:

Probably a very easy one, but I don't know what to search for exactly as I can't remember the actresses name.

A 1990s vampire movie in black and white, where people are the party and out of the blue the vampires in the group just go loving apeshit and suck the blood of the rest.
The lead actress is in a lot of 90s films, I know her face, but for the life of me can not remember her name or any famous movies shes in.

Help!
Saw this on TV in maybe 1992ish. About the same time I was getting my shot weirded out at late night sleepovers by Class of Nuke 'Em High.

There's a comically long limousine, and maybe some little people in suits fighting on this limo and eventually it crashes.

Still looking for help with this one. I saw this picture the other day and it really triggered my memory of whatever that drat movie was.

North?

Edit: not sure about the little people but it does have a big rear end limo

Not a fight on it, but this is what I think of when I think of comically long limo gags:

Nope. Somehow I've never heard of North, though, even with that cast. Looks like it could be a fun watch.

Roger Ebert posted:

I have no idea why Rob Reiner, or anyone else, wanted to make this story into a movie, and close examination of the film itself is no help. "North" is one of the most unpleasant, contrived, artificial, cloying experiences I've had at the movies. To call it manipulative would be inaccurate; it has an ambition to manipulate, but fails.
