My friend was telling me about a horror film, but she couldn't remember the title. The main character was a guy whose mother forbid him from looking at porn mags, saying they had evil eyes or something? And then he turned out to be a kinda classic slasher villain (by the sounds of it) and would rip people's eyes out. Any ideas?

I think it's because the quality of the tapes degrade over time and so the quality is not as good these days.

I've tried this a few times to no success but I'll try again. Looked like a late 80s or early 90s Cannon type film. A guy is feuding with a gang in his town, and he "dies" in a way I can't recall. The gang arrives at his outdoor funeral on their motorcycles and begin to cause havoc but then its revealed the dude wasn't dead, and he pops out of his coffin and begins mowing them down with a belt fed machine gun. This felt very much like a near the end of the movie type deal. I can't recall when I saw it. It is not the third Terminator movie (where a T-100 holds a coffin full of weapons) nor is it Eye of the Tiger (with Gary Busey's wife's funeral being interrupted by a motorcycle gang). It's possible I'm conflating a lot of different things - including those two - together, but I 100% recall the visual of someone popping out of their own coffin with a gun, mowing down people.

I had to google that because it rang a bell but I couldn't recall anything about it, and you may be right! I'm looking through clips on YouTube now in the hopes i might see that. e: Yep! I must have combined the funeral scene from Eye of the Tiger with the boardroom scene discussing McBain's death in McBain into one movie. Amazing. I wonder how that happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzjfrdcN1Z8&t=205s TTBF fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Apr 24, 2018 |

Yeah, I knew how ludicrous it was so I had looked at action movie parodies but hadn't seen anything. When you suggested McBain (and I recalled what that was) it clicked.

I recently heard of a movie that is about a drug that alters the user's perception of time, to I believe a staggering degree. I can't remember the name of it but I really want to see it, because I love that time poo poo. White Christmas is my favourite episode of Black Mirror, and The Jaunt is my favourite Stephen King work. It's not Limitless, before anyone suggests that.

I watched a movie at a sleepover in either 1989 or 1990. The protagonists were a boy and a girl, both white, teenagers or early 20s. He may have been greedy, after something. The only bit I can remember in any detail is that near the end of the movie, she points out the error of his ways. Somewhere around this scene, he sees an illusion of brightly colored brick walls. Multicolor, I think. The walls went on seemingly forever (thus sealing it as an illusion) and possibly faded into reality when he realized he had been duped. I was thinking the name of it was Night Train, but IMDB doesn't have anything that fits. It was probably out of the '80s. The train may have been part of the illusion. Don't know if it was a late night TV movie or rented. We also saw Savannah Smiles that evening, which was definitely rented.

I think this movie was from the late 70s or early 80s, and I think it was a biopic, and I think it starred a famous black singer, and it opened with her in a mental hospital. What on earth movie is this? edit nvm it's lady sings the blues

Someone's uploaded it to Youtube and while I can't find the scene I thought I remembered, a few other things seem to click. A quest for the Invisible City, there's at least one small illusion and Milla Jovovich looks like the mental image I had of the girl.

Anyone remember an 80's teen thriller where a girl and guy are running some bank card scam, forging the magnetic strips? I think they uncover some conspiracy and get chased by goons.

Okay, so this one has been plaguing me for most of my living memory, and I must admit right away that my memory of this in particular is based on what I saw some 25 years ago so details are vague, sketchy and practically non-existent but I'll try anyway: It was some lovely horror movie where some guy was trapped in a room screaming while a head wrapped in what looked like brown paper slowly shuffled towards him (on the floor) by slightly twisting left and right. Said noggin was upright, too. Sorry, that's all I remember, but if anyone could tell me just what the gently caress this film was/is then I can die without this dumb loving lifelong question inevitably being my last words. (If it helps (and it probably won't), for months after seeing it my friend and I would refer to this scene as "the apocalypse", but this is most likely a red herring because we called things by all sorts of irrelevant and abstract names. We were 6 for gently caress's sake!) ZogrimAteMyHamster fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 27, 2018 |

I couldn't get past that first story, it was too much for eight year old me. While I'm posting, there's a film I saw when I was a kid but again, the details are sparse. It was some kind of horror comedy about these weird people that lived in a suburban neighbourhood. The "father" might have been some kind of mad scientist who was kidnapping people and performing experiments on them. Another member of the family was a trilby wearing rodent-faced Steve Buscemi lookalike. Some kids stumbled on the conspiracy and that's all I remember, except for the bad guys all getting arrested at the end.

Early to mid-80s American movie. Doctors at a hospital take bets about which patients will live or die, and one of the nastier doctors decides to speed things along by murdering some of the patients in question. Only scene I clearly remember is the murderer injecting poison into a steak that someone eats, and when the lady gets admitted to the ER he sabotages her ventilator. It's definitely not Coma.

This made me think of that hospital-based thriller movie from the 90s, starring Michael Keaton and Hugh Grant. Turns out, I'm thinking of two separate but similar films, both about hospitals/doctors, both thrillers, whatever that means. Desperate Measures from 98, starring Michael Keaton and Andy Garcia. Extreme Measures, from 96, starring Hugh Grant and Gene Hackman.
