I saw a screening of Watching Night of the Living Dead tonight, which is the movie edited together from people in film and on TV shows watching the movie. There was one scene from a movie, looked to be the early- to mid-90s, where a little boy wearing PJs sat on his bed watching it. He's talking to himself and gets scared and eventually unplugs the TV, but the screen stays on. I KNOW I've seen it before but can't place it, and the guy who made this edit doesn't have a list of films he used. I'm at a loss and my Google fu is loving weak for this. Anybody know it?

I'm trying to remember an old animated film from the late-70s/early-80s but everybody else I asked is stumped. All I can remember is an animated fight scene between a knight, his dwarf sidekick and a shadow-monster shaped like a dragon. The gist of the fight is between the dwarf keeping the flame on his lantern going so the knight's shadow is large enough to challenge the dragon, while the dragon keeps trying to extinguish the lantern so he can rip the knight up (every injury on the knight's shadow opens up wounds on the knight). The fight ends when the dwarf sets something else on fire and the knight's shadow grows large enough to grab the dragon shadow and squish him between his hands. Anybody else remember this?

Apparently that was based on a book by Brian Stroud and Alan Lee. Every now and then you can get a glimpse of their art style in the animation but that wasn't a very good adaptation, if you were a fan of their stuff and you heard a cartoon was coming out based on their book you would have been pretty disappointed with the end result.

So theres a movie with a scene about heaven or hell or something where theres a car crash and a guy basically steps out of a semi cab while its spinning around onto another car really casually. I thought it was ghost rider but I couldnt actually find the scene. I ask because I love cheesy movies that try extremely hard to be slick While I was typing this post I remembered it was a nicolas cage movie and found it was Drive Angry. Anyways Im posting this in case anyone else wants to see slick overwrought action scenes

I'm trying to remember a movie I saw a few times as a kid. It was a black and white sci-fi film from the 40s or 50s that prominently featured a black cat and a flying saucer. That's all I got.

I'd guess the latter. I saw that movie so many times as a kid, and at least some of those would have been in black and white. The movie really aped the aesthetic of 50s flying saucer stuff as well. Bonus-the-more-you-know-trivia: Flying saucers weren't a thing (in movies anyway) in the 40s

Cat from outer space wasn't black (although may have appeared so on a b/w tv). Cat in Witch Mountain is def a black cat.

After watching the trailers for these, The Cat From Outer Space definitely feels right tonally and with the military stuff (which I almost included in my description but wasn't sure enough about). I dismissed it when I was searching myself because the era felt wrong, but I'm thinking that either y'all are either right and I watched it on the B&W TV we had when I was very young, or it just somehow became black and white in my memory due to most flying saucer movies being B&W. I also may have added in a little That Darn Cat!, but that cat isn't black either, and the movie's in color... Thanks! e: not that anyone really cares, but for reference I think I just mashed memories of The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Cat From Outer Space up. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Nov 6, 2018 |

Wow, all this chat about short films we watched in school just gave me a flashback. (I also saw All Summer in a Day). This would have been in 7th grade, so it existed prior to 1986. The family lived in a computerized house, like Alexa on steroids. The house would regularly remind the children in this calm yet creepy voice stuff like "It is 8 o'clock. 8 o'clock. Time to brush your teeth, time to brush your teeth." The house basically dictated what time all activities would happen. At some point... Something? Happens, and the house goes crazy. The kids are trying to escape, and the house is fighting them by deliberately hay wiring poo poo. At one point the kids can't get out because the house has made the door knob too hot to touch, then it starts melting. All I remember beyond that was my buddy Chris leaned over and started whispering the joke "It's 5 o'clock. 5 o'clock. Time to turn the doorknob into sauce. Time to turn the doorknob into sauce." And I thought that poo poo was hilarious. (That wasn't the actual line, just his proto-MST3K humor.) We ran that joke into the ground that year. Long shot, but now I'm dying to know what that film was. Again, would've pre-dated 1986, and I saw it in school, growing up in upstate NY.

This sounds like that Halloween episode of the Simpsons where Pierce Brosnan plays the computerised house. Wiki tells me that was based on a film called Demon Seed? Also there's another one I remember called Dream House but this is from 1998 and was terrible. I remember the washing machine stabbing a burglar to death.

When I was a kid I saw some movie on TV where a couple of guys are in Africa (?) and see a guy running super fast and the plot is about them trying to make this guy a famous athlete (I think) but it all goes tits up, then at the end the guys are sitting around in a restaurant (in Africa still) licking their wounds and remark on how fast a cheetah is, and their waiter says, "Not as fast as so-and-so" and points at another guy running really fast, and the two guys go running and yelling after him.

The thing I have in mind is actually a music video and not a film so I hope that's alright. The music video in question is one I caught late one night, probably on 120 minutes, around 1997ish. I don't remember much other than its a single female singer singing in a sort of grungy looking room and while the video is going on she is popping in and out of the room with this scary as poo poo puppet taking her place. From what I could remember the puppet had a round head and a mouth full of these giant dagger like teeth. I don't think it had any eyes. I want to say the artist was Bjork but I don't think that's correct.

I was about to say I was amazed he never got one of those Director's sets like Michel Gondry or Spike Jonze, but turns out he did, in all but name. The Hammer & Tongs Collection Glad it exists, it's always a crapshoot trying to find older music videos online.

I think its a black and white cowboy movie. The good guys are on a boat, that gets attacked by Indians a few times. And there is one part at night where they have to muffle the oars with clothing so they can sneak past a base or somewhere close to the Indians. Edit: Found it, Big Sky with Kirk Douglas. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Nov 19, 2018 |

This one's a belgian horror movie, made in the last... 15 years? It starts off with an entertainer in a retiree home, then he leaves for a hotel in the ardennes (mountains/hills). Stopped watching at that point, would like to continue.

This one might be slightly off-topic but is the 'gay porno' seen on a laptop in one scene of Happy Death Day an actual porno - and if so what is its name - or was it specially made footage for the film? I'm asking for a friend. That friend is my cock.

I'm looking for a film I saw in religious class in I believe 2003. A bunch of teenagers/young adults from troubled backgrounds are forced to take a sailing trip where they learn about the values of friendship and duty and so on. Towards the end, one of the characters dies in a storm, whereupon the ship's captain has to stand trial for criminal negligence. One of the teenagers brings the ship's bell to the court and rings it at the end, causing all the teenagers to stand up in support of the captain. The only other scene I remember is that somewhere in the middle, a few of the kids spin a bottle to determine who gets to use their money to sleep with a prostitute. I don't remember anything particularly Christian about the film. Couldn't say how old it was sadly, but I assume not that old, so either 90s or early 2000s.
