Finally found a movie I'd been trying to find for a long time. I must have posted about it in this thread or a previous thread or some other one many years ago, and have asked film friends about it a lot over the years. Every time I'd describe it, people would think I was misremembering Big Trouble in Little China or something. But nope, it's real, and it's Buddha's Palm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xChArcx5_M4

Try Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain, Holy Flame of the Martial World, or The Evil Cult if you want more of that. Edit: I guess the giant trap-rooms are more like something from a Yuen Brothers comedy. Edit2: Don't get me wrong, Buddha's Palm looks awesome and I haven't seen it before and I love wuxia so I'm totally going to be tracking it down and watching it. moller fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Mar 29, 2018 |

I saw Hard Target a few years afterwards, and I loved the gearshift from less insane than Surviving the Game into significantly more insane than Surviving the Game somewhere around the police detective getting iced but definitely before the snake scene.

This one has been infrequently haunting my dim brain for unknown reasons since seeing it probably around the early/mid 80s. Super-vague memories: a scientist has created a realistic male android for the government but conscience makes him release the bot into 80s USA. Lots of Frankenstein allegories (probably stated outright 'cos I wasn't good at understanding things back then). Creator maybe dies or abandons the robot in a diner. Very down beat and low key feel to the film (likely due to a shoe-string budget in retrospect). And I think the climax is set in a dark and gloomy astronomic observatory.

This stirs some memories, but what I'm thinking of was a TV series or miniseries, and might have been British.

Nope, it's not D.A.R.Y.L. - the android in the film I'm forgetting was an adult man - but that's a top vintage film reference!

I remember watching what I think was a collection of short experimental art films about sex, or with an erotic theme, maybe 5-6 years ago. It was at an arthouse cinema that often screens things like that, like "The Best Short Films from Sundance 2017" or whatever, collections of short films or art films. It's possible that the theme was not actually erotic, but just that the films involving sex stood out the most to me. Anyway my memories of it are pretty vague but I think one of the shorts involved a nature scene with a naked man's lower body in the foreground, with make up and props to make it look like part of the forest floor, and he slowly gets an erection so that it looks like some kind of simple animal waking up and exploring the air, or better like one of those time-lapse videos of a mushroom growing. I think there were multiple related scenes like this, including one in a mechanical setting in which his body was painted to look like part of a truck or construction equipment and again he just gets a boner in real time with no cuts or camera movement?? I also seem to recall one of the other short films in this collection being set in a futuristic living room with lots of smooth round furniture and bizarre glass fixtures in uncomfortable colors, and a woman is like peeing in these colored glass bowls or there's something to do with excretion and body functions. Almost like a deleted scene from the middle section of The Holy Mountain, with the surreal decor and color palette. If these are really art films of the type that usually get shown in contemporary art galleries, and not a movie of some sort, it probably won't be identifiable but it's worth a shot. Thanks for any help. EDIT: Just remembered I think another one involved a closeup of a mouth pressed up against glass. Possibly with jams and other liquids involved. Google has led me to some interesting websites with big collections of short erotic films hosted on Vimeo, maybe I will actually track these things down.

Being a telly movie explains the low budget feel, and I'm sure Morse & Plummer's acting aplomb are the reason it's left such an impression on me. Thank you, and also thanks for the other guesses, folks. The pool of 80s robot films is large and deep so I really appreciate the effort.

Someone is drinking and they turn their glass over and use it to trap an insect or something on the bar. That's all I've got to go on unfortunately.

A high school friend put this on in a lab years ago, so it must have been 2005-06, and I think it must have been fairly recent given its look. It was almost certainly Scandinavian. We only watched the first 20 minutes or so, which I think were completely dialogue-free. It consisted of lots of tableaux of very pristine rooms in some Scandinavian city at night, and which were always grotesque (though I don't remember most of the details). I mostly remember naked old men as recurring image. Up to the point that we watched, I couldn't really tell you what kind of story it was leading to.

Request from a friend. Netflix movie: "It had a boy in it who list his dad, and all the boy had left was a journal. He ends up dropping the journal in a stream or lake and loses it. There's also a tall guy who is a professor and has a big house, and a girl that's the same age as the boy." Ring any bells?

A friend asked me if I had ever seen a movie that : "The intro might have been animated, maybe stop motion and I think it was like moving eyeballs and intestinal poo poo. It was gloomy as gently caress and started with a man who was traveling by horse and carriage and stays at a dirty rear end tavern. Meets a bloke who is going to get murdered by the people there but he pays for his life or something and takes him with him. And they going down a road in the carriage and there's a modern car crashed in the background. But they don't even acknowledge it" I'm driving myself insane searching for this

Trying to remember the name of a horror movie from about...5–7 years ago. The very loose gist is a family moves to a small town, and a neighbor's teenage daughter (or something) is pregnant and acting kind of possessed. Spooky things start happening. The main character thinks she might be carrying to a demon/the devil's child or something. The movie goes along making you think that, but then it's revealed she had a regular boyfriend who she's had sex with, so they assume it's a regular baby and all the stuff was just a spooky coincidence. But then a twist! She was in fact carrying a demon's child. I think the movie ended with a scene of her giving birth around a fire in the woods are something and then the demon child kills people. I don't watch much horror, and I feel like this might sound like a lot of other movies, but I'd appreciate the help.

I'm looking for a film that my boyfriend has been searching for for TWENTY years. Trying to surprise him with the title but he doesn't have a lot of detail to go on. He saw it on TV in Canada (Showcase or Bravo possibly) late at night, about 20 years ago and guesses it was either American or Canadian. No clue if it was a short or feature. POSSIBLY black & white, not horror but a creepy, arthouse or experimental vibe. He thinks 70s, maybe late 60s. Super low budget. All he can recall with certainty is 2 old men wandering around the upstairs of a darkened house. There might have been a TV on in one of the rooms.

Your description sounds a lot like an episode of the 1960s Boris Karloff tv series Thriller, “Pigeons from Hell.” It opens with two young men camping out in an abandoned house overnight. Two older men become involved in the story later. https://youtu.be/vOG7D1r412M
