Schlegel Mach posted:Alright, so, I'm looking for this movie about lava that's apparently overtaking a major city (like New York or LA). I remember seeing it when I was younger, about ten years ago (or around there), on VHS in the USA. They built up walls to redirect the lava along the city, or something, but there was too much and it was going to go over the edge/into the city center and kill everyone.

Captain Equinox posted:Bit of a long shot, is this Prime Cut? Lee Marvin is the middle-aged detective, and I think he rescues Sissy Spacek from the slave ranch. That's it. Thanks. It turns out Lee Marvin's character isn't a detective, but I was like ten when I watched it so the story went over my head.

This is going to be kind of long (and cross posted from Book Barn since it may be a book), I apologize, but: Boy (18ish) travels to his hometown for the first time in years, having been sent away by his mom. Exploring her house, discovers a room that is locked whenever another door is opened (his room), discovers a strange item in that room (my memory tells me it is the hand of a doll but I could be wrong). Inadvertently finds out that the object allows him to make people disappear, sending them to another dimension. Series of flashbacks shows us that his dad discovered the object and its power, and first used it discretely, but eventually used it on anyone who crossed his path, eventually accidentally using it against himself. His mother kept it as her last link to him, sending the kid away so he wouldn't follow in his footsteps. Back to present day, he's caught the attention of the town authorities after a few folks disappear, being the newcomer in town. I don't remember anything after that, but if anyone has any ideas, that would be great. It really reminds me of Stephen King, but I've flipped through the books of his that I have and I'm not finding anything. I'm also reminded of Kiefer Sutherland for some odd reason, but his filmography isn't giving me any results either. Thanks.

I was watching a movie on a plane one time, must have been about ten years ago now, about an Irish teacher. I was really young then so maybe he was Welsh/Scottish/Northern/whatever but definitely outside of cosmopolitan London, though I'm 80% sure it was an Irishman. Anyway, he does something as a social protest (The Troubles? Miner's strike? Maybe something more modern or unimportant?) and yells "LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US!". So later he's teaching a class to some young kids and one of them must have seen the teacher on TV because he started shouting "LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING. LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING UP AT THE BLACKBOARD!" to make fun of the guy. There was also some kind of love story and the guy misses some broad and gets a thousand yard stare as the Smiths begin to play in the background, though that might have just been imagined by me while on drugs. Any ideas? None of the quotes or situations I've got are concrete as it was long ago, but that's the jist of it.

I'm looking for a realistic space movie (with space shuttles and stuff). There are 2 scenes I remember. 1. A guy in a greenhouse on the moon, who was abandoned or something? 2. They were doing something outside of the ship, and they had a certain amount of fuel, and 1 of them was floating away so the guy tried to save him but he was too far away and he was running out of fuel. Then the guy says, don't come any closer or you won't make it back and takes off his helmet. Sorry if these are hard to read, but this is what I remember. Anyone know it?

I remember seeing bits of a movie at a party while drunk. The film was a western, possibly? The bit that sticks out in my mind is someone using a guitar case like a remote controlled car, and possibly another guitar case that was a machine-gun. It was almost certainly after the matrix came out, and I think it was on DVD. Another - Watched this on TV maybe 10+ years ago. Seemed like an 80s or 70s film. Was about kids who were abducted from their parents and they were put in a room with loads of toys in, including a merry-go-round. Aliens might have been involved? edit: That could well be it, thanks vvvvvvvvv DiabloStarCraft fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Jun 12, 2010 |

This sounds similar to the Are You Afraid of the Dark episode, The Tale of the Thirteenth Floor. quote:Two siblings discover an elevator floor filled with strange toys and games — and alien parents who want their daughter back. Edit: I'm not one of those weird people that has thousands of tapes of old Nickelodeon shows or anything, this one just stuck with me for some reason.

I saw this movie last year at an indie theater. The movie was about a couple who meet, fall in love, and break up. The thing that made it unique was the narrative jumped around in time from future to past. One scene that kept reappearing was the couple at another couples wedding where they were getting along well. The ending was sort of a surprise. The scenes at the wedding reception occurred after they broke up but decided to get back together realizing it would be rough at points.

I remember watching a movie when I was half asleep a couple years ago about the coming apocalypse, the characters knew exactly when it was going to happen and prepared for it differently. One has sex with all sorts of women and it ends with a man and a woman shooting each other as the shot fades out. Any ideas?

Keanu Grieves posted:(500) Days of Summer To be fair Joseph Gordon Levitt's character thought they were going to get back together and was later crushed when Zooey Deschanel's character got proposed to by her actual boyfriend at the party she had invited him to so if you don't really remember the ending it's easy enough to get tricked into thinking it ends that way.

My cousin and I were racking our brains last night trying to remember a movie her mom used to show us all the time when were little kids. It was live action but had some sort of puppets or midgets in fuzzy costumes. Two kids, a brother and sister we think (we could be wrong) get pulled into a fantasy world by the cute cuddly puppet things. They have to go fix something to make their world happy again or something. The whole movie they are being chased by this monster that looks like a furry elephant and at the end they get cornered by it, but they make it a nice monster because they hug it and tell it that they love him. This was probably around 88 or earlier. I'm sorry this is so horribly vague.

My siblings and I used to have this VHS tape we watched all the time that was taped off of TV (Disney Channel, I believe). The first part of the tape was the incredibly trippy Dr Seuss' The Hoober-Bloob Highway Anyways, the second part of the tape was a movie or made-for-tv special of some kind, I believe it was made by Disney. It was a mixture of live action with animation that featured a guy (played by an older man pretending to be a bunch of different characters including a kid) and it was all about made up aliens from different worlds. I distinctly remember one bit where he was looking through a telescope and talking about how the aliens were his friends. There was also another bit where he was tending to some alien plants and they were alive and started strangling him? The actor was also familiar, I think he was in a ton of live-action Disney stuff. In any case, the whole thing was really trippy and honestly I don't know how we managed to watch it so many times. I cannot remember the title and scouring all the different Disney production companies on IMDB for something that looked familiar came up blank. I'm guessing this came out in the late 70s or early-to-mid 80s Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

Hmm, I think I must've posted this before a long time ago. It's kind of difficult though I don't think anyone is going to be able to identify it. It's a movie with one scene wherein some kind of antagonist character has a toothpick in his mouth and he manoeuvres it into his nostril. I think it has something to do with prison and kids. Maybe a kid-prison.

Could it be Uncle Buck with John Candy and Macaulay Culkin? There's a scene at the bowling alley where the creepy guy that's hitting on the girl plays with a toothpick with his mouth, but it's been a very long while since I've seen it. It does involve kids, but I don't remember anything like a prison in it.

I'm looking for a move made between the late 70's and mid 80's. Googling for vague descriptions of what I remembered of the movie last time I saw it (more than 20 years ago) only resulted in a thread of someone looking for the same movie. The description is here: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/advice/t-262759.html quote:In the early 80s (I think) I saw on TV a movie that featured an old saior who would beachcomb and throw back into the sea anything he found, lest the sea become angry and want it back. An old woman lived by the sea, close to where her significant other died when his ship went down off shore. A wooden figurehead washed ashore from his ship, and she found it before the old man could throw it back. But the sea wanted it, and rose up, threatening to flood the town. Finally, and climactically, she threw it back to the sea, and the sea subsided. Komet fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jun 16, 2010 |

I seen a horror film in the cinema at some stage in the last 5 years. I can't remember the plot at all but that there were two protagonists and I think it was in English (though it might have been in Romanian or French, or at least part of it) but the end involved a girl inside a tunnel under a highway with a child in cons pulling her away or walking. I know that sounds vague but its been annoying me and my friend since we thought about it last week but we haven't a clue how it ends.

There was this Japanese film about this man in Tokyo who lost his job, and he has to pretend he still has it. There was a little boy in it and his name began with a K, he learns to play piano and he plays Claire De Lune at the end. I can't for the life of me remember what its called.

There's a film that I can only remember one scene from and it's probably more than 15 years old (I think it was about 15 years ago that I saw it). I think it was a horror film but the scene has a man being injected in the neck by some alien thing and if the man doesnt get the alien new victims to feed on he doesn't inject him and the man goes into really bad withdrawals. This has been bugging me for ages and every time I ask someone about it they think I've made it up.
