Man, my TV film must be drat obscure, everyone's drawing a blank. This will be easier. Some Asian film where there's some crazy sex scene which is basically 'sex if sex was also a low key Dragon Ball Z fight' with a male/female couple. I am fairly sure it is not pornography, but I cannot say with 100 percent certainty.

There was this popular wire-fu fight/sex scene video years ago of what seemed at the time specifically like a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon parody. Apparently it's actually from a 1994 movie called "A Chinese Torture Chamber Story" - an "erotic black comedy". Maybe that's what you're remembering?

I was wrong, westborn was right, it was A Chinese Torture Chamber Story starring no one I've ever heard of except for Elvis Tsui. A Wong Jing joint so you know it's good. That scene is a parody of wuxia tropes. moller fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Aug 29, 2020 |

There's this scene in the movie Contact (1997) And I'm thinking of a scene in another movie that takes place in an extremely similar room (or maybe the exact same set) but while the meeting or hearing is taking place, an explosion happens outside the window on the left. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Looking for a british film I think where a professor (philosophy maybe) goes on vacation to a beach house or something and has friends and former lovers over and they just talk about life and stuff. Could be remembering this wrong. Saw it years ago.

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I watched in college for a film class called History of World Cinema. The movie is possibly Romanian or Polish. It wasn't an old film, but I can't say exactly how recently it was released. It's about some orthodox religious people, one of whom has taken a vow of silence. A woman shows up, and I think she is being hunted (that may not be correct). Eventually the one who took the vow of silence leaves with the woman. I never finished the movie, so sadly that's pretty much all the information I have.

These things tend to remain set in stone for years.

I can't remember the name of the college exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was founded in the 1800s in the eastern US. I remember a library with some Greek-looking pillars, or maybe Roman.

Back in the late 80s, maybe early-mid 90's I caught parts of a terrible movie on broadcast tv, and it's bugged me ever since. Something in the trashy post-apocalyptic/madmax style, I think mostly a road movie about some weird giant truck, maybe in a convoy traveling thru the barren wasteland between safe zones? I kinda remember there was some sorta terrible vfx shimmery force-shield around at least one of the bases/outposts that raised/lowered to let them out? There were definitely caveman/regressed humans type mutants running around too. I specifically remember the truck had these big black plastic hemispherical (sensor?) domes on the roof, and at one point some mutant throws a big rock down onto the truck from above, smashing the dome and it flops around all busted for at least a few scenes, maybe causing them to dismount and get into a firefight? Our heroes also had a half-breed mutant working with them, I remember a scene where he's seeing the doc and they talk about how his pain levels are constantly off the charts, and maybe something about that's what drives the mutants mad? I think there was something about him getting constant injections to keep the pain tolerable, or to prevent him from reverting too. Aaaaalso some ehhhhh bit about how his unmutated, normal human mom got got by the mutants, and that's where he came from. Anyway I'm sure it sucks bad, but drat I kinda wanna get some closure, ya know? It felt like a damnation alley, megaforce, exterminators of the year 3000 kinda flick, but isn't any of those. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. It might have been the pilot to a TV show that never got made. If it's the same, one more detail is that everyone had a crystal of a certain color to determine how contaminated/mutated(?) they were. The half-mutant's was black.

EDIT: Main character is young, maybe a teenager. Is male. I still have no idea what this is if anyone else has any ideas.

I've been trying to think where I have seen this scene or if it even existed. I always thought it was from Rambo II but have never been able to find it online. The movie was definitely of that one man army vein of Rambo, Missing in Action, etc... "The main character is being shown his equipment before a mission. They get to his gun which looks 80's futuristic/tactical because it has a big scope on it. Someone explains to him how fancy/big deal it is in which he scoffs at it noting an AK-47 would be more preferable to where he is going." I always thought this was from Rambo II because he does load up a gun like that (HK94A3/MP5A3) that even has a the goofy scope. Another reason I thought it was Rambo II is because the quip about not wanting it plays up with him losing it whilst jumping out of the airplane. However, I've never been able to find the scene anywhere so maybe it was from a different film or I dreamt it all up.

Old 60s (or maybe even 50s) space sci fi/horror. Involves a spaceship crew going down to investigate a signal from a planet. Aesthetically looks kind of like a more 'horrific' Star Trek episode with harsher purple colouring and lighting at points. Something separates and drives the cast mad/kills them. I think it might be space vampires? I think it was a clearly overdubbed movie with an Italian or otherwise European director I'm pretty sure there was discussion at the time Prometheus came out that it was an inspiration/soft remake of that movie. I'm not thinking of Forbidden Planet I think it has a cool Lovecraftian title but I can't be sure

I feel like this was a James Bond movie. Person gets into a pod, zips along a pneumatic tube to his destination. Pod door opens and a person standing there says "Welcome to Vienna" or maybe he said Austria. He may have followed it up with "Mr. Bond". I could also be imagining or conflating things.

Around seven or eight (?) years ago, I watched a movie with some friends that was similar in spirit to Murder By Numbers, except that I think this was a more recent film. I don't remember anything about this movie except that a main character was a hobbyist who owned a large, Rube Goldberg-esque marble maze. This was meant to show how intelligent they were or how acute an eye they had for detail. This character murdered someone, maybe his wife, and it looked for most of the movie like he got away with it. In the climax of the movie, though, it's revealed that there was some minor detail he overlooked, and it pointed to him being the murderer. Pretty sure the movie begins and ends with a long sequence of a marble traveling through the maze he created. Did I dream this movie? I'm not sure my friends even remember watching it.

Freakazoid_ posted:I'm looking for a native american documentary. It was on youtube at one point a few years ago, but I think the documentary was a bit older than that, probably shot in the late oughties and probably originally aired on television. The topic was mostly about deconstructing the native american stereotype, contrasting it with the reality that they're just regular people. Out of sheer grit and determination sifting through hundreds of native american documentaries, I finally found what I was looking for. Inventing the Indian, by Rich Hall.

Live action kids film or show from the 80s or earlier, presumably wizard of oz themed, involved a group of kids and the primary antagonist was a witch who at one point turned one or more of the kids into flying monkeys. I feel like it might possibly have been from Australia or New Zealand.

Cross posting from ask/tell: There's a kid's movie I loved from the 80s or 90s. It's animated and has a very striking style, I want to say lots of contrast. In this movie there were a couple of small mammals who had to go on an adventure somewhere, eventually over a mountain. But the whole time they're being chased by a fox. Eventually the fox gets attacked by some large bird on a snowy mountain and it's close to the climax of the movie. Does anyone know what movie I'm talking about? Pretty sure this was on VHS.
