I'm looking for a cartoon from the 80s or 90s where a scene takes place inside the statue of liberty. I think it's while it's being built or renovated.

This is all I know.

From Beyond The Grave is a horror anthology movie from Amicus, and Australian horror movie Kadaicha had the tagline "Cast from beyond the grave". But I can't think of anything with that specific tagline - although it's too obvious not to have been used by someone.

Anyone know the name of a movie where some kid goes into their backyard and I think there’s a time lapse and they meet an alien or something? They gain telekinetic powers and there’s a scene with a basketball going back into the rim after bouncing out. That’s all I remember from the movie. It's either an 80s or 90s movie but I recall the quality looked 80s.

Guns, Girls, and Gambling, which is a third rate Tarantino wannabe that has enough name actors in it to make me think somebody called in some owed favors. Whole movie is on youtube.

It's possible that the genders should be reversed.
Is this Scott Pilgrim? I can't picture the scene exactly, but Scott disentangling himself from Knives while she freaks out and gushes feels like a thing that happens.

Trying to remember the source of a scene, probably from a horror movie, of someone ripping a piercing out of a teenage punk's face. Lots of blood. Can't really remember if it was a lip or nose or ear piercing. Might have happened in a grocery store? I think it was brightly lit. Might have been aliens or shapeshifters involved?

i never saw it but i think Land of the Dead has a girl with a belly piercing

i doubt this is what you saw but fwiw in the Demolitionist Nicole Eggert gets her nose ring (or earring?) torn out which is her shotgun scene since it's a robocop knockoff

Pubes dreaded out so hoes call me Chris Barnes. I don't wear a condom at the pig farm.
This is a weird one. Asian movie. Probably Japanese but my memory of it isn't super clear.

In the scene i remember a group of young boys cut school and get some food but then have no money to pay for it. One of them is head and shoulders taller than the rest and seems to have some developmental disability in my memory of it. Might even be related to his size. Older but hanging out with kids. One of the other boys rifles through his pockets looking for money to pay for the food and says "Whats wrong with you! Your pockets torn and youre not wearing any underwear." The big kid was also wearing coveralls with no shirt on underneath I think.

I think it was a Sandlot type "kids have a relatively mundane adventure scaled up into a crazy tale" kinda kids movie. I liked it a lot at 11-12 when i saw it. Oh and it was dubbed but by kids with the proper accent just speaking english.

I don't think this is it. I think it might be Lost in Translation* but I don't have a copy to check and it's not streaming.

*For how much buzz and cultural cachet this movie had when it came out, it sure faded into irrelevance. I've heard more praise for, say, I <3 Huckabees in the last couple of years then for LiT

I'm trying to remember a film I tried to watch a couple of years ago but fell off. It was a western, Japanese or Korean movie that I think was made during the 80s or 90s that had these colorful, super stylized sets and costumes that looked very theatrical. Not a lot to go on but I hope this rings a bell for somebody because this it driving me nuts.

Hero is from 2002 and is Chinese rather than Japanese or Korean, but does make a lot of use of vivid colours, so maybe that?

Wait, do you mean that the genre was a Western (cowboy) movie and that it was Japanese or Korean, in which case the only thing that jumps to mind is The Good, The Bad and The Weird (and its definitely not Hero), or do you mean that you dont know if the movie was made in the west, japan or korea, and didnt specify a genre, in which case I stick by my wild punt at Hero.

Along similar lines my first guess was Ran (1985) which also hits everything but "western".

I know it's not 80s or 90s but this sounds like Tears of the Black Tiger, which definitely could be mistaken for 80s or 90s.

I remember seeing some episode of a TV show in like, the 90s, which I think was some kind of soap maybe like Beverly Hills 90210, and there was some hearththrob guy, a kind of Luke Perry type I think, who was dating multiple women at the same time, and any time any of them asked if they were definitely the only woman he was interested in he'd say 'What do you think?' and that was it. And then I think eventually they caught him and his hijinks were over.

There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.
I've been trying to find a Japanese horror movie I watched sometime around 2006 or 2007. I think it was about a girl who saw dead people. I only remember a few scenes. One is the girl in the back seat of a car, and a dead girl with a braid or pony tail is in the seat next to her, seemingly looking out the window, but when she turns both sides of her head are the back of her head. The other scene is people splatting on to the pavement after jumping off a building (possibly a hospital), and their ruined bodies still being animated and looking at her. There is also a scene where she's waiting for a bus and thinks she sees a dead person, but its just a kid with a hoodie up and earbuds in. All these scenes take place at night.

1970s(?) - unsure but would place closer to late '60s than early '80s if pushed

Children's live action film, like when Disney was making GBS threads them out.

An Asian truancy patrol worker struggles to get an ethnically-diverse and mischevious band of kids to attend school, rather than hang out on inner city streets.

The kids get the best of the driver, avoiding capture, until the job is on the line. The kids then rally together and make it look to local education board officials that the truancy officer is doing a great job. It is a touching heartwarming and humorous moment.

The truancy patroller wears a beige boiler suit and drives a dark green van with white writing on the side.


It was seen on daytime (weekend?) TV in the 90s, and it was clearly very old by then.


The details above may be wrong, so please suggest flexibly.

Plot seems different though - a scifi kidnap? - but my memory is the weakest link here.

I'm 99% sure this is The Eye 2 - Hong Kong rather than Japan, but the rest fits. The other films in the series are well worth checking out if you liked this one.
