Here's one I just remembered seeing on TV back in maybe the late 90s; the movie itself was probably from the 80s or 90s. I only caught the end, but it was apparently a boxing film of some sort. More or less, the final bout was the hero fighting his trainer, who was suddenly the antagonist (may not have been his trainer, but someone that the hero knew). They decided to box bare-knuckle, for reasons that I do not recall. One thing I remember about the fight was that the trainer kept lowering his head to take the punches on the top of his head, "Hardest part of the body" he would say, which lead to the hero injuring his hands and having trouble punching.

Skunkrocker posted:Yeah, but it's different enough from the stuff in Total Recall to make me think he's thinking of something else cause the lack of air on Mars was a problem until the end of the movie. Yeah, no, I can see the similarities and how it might get bastardized from different memories over 20 years, but the stuff I remember is pretty distinct from Total Recall. So as I recall (  ), It took place on Earth, and the air was breathable the whole time, the rulers were just lying to keep everyone dependent. I remember it visually pretty different overall, and Arnie wasn't in it.I think I would've recognized the first time I saw Total Recall many years later, but on the other hand I know that memory can be very unreliable so who knows. Maybe somebody else would recognize what I'm talking about.

mobby_6kl posted:Okay, these are two movies (at least I think it's from two distinct movies, maybe some others got mixed in by now) from my early childhood of watching them on a tiny B&W TV. I doubt they were very good but these are my earliest movie memories, in addition to one of the original Star Wars episodes. This had to be early to mid 90s in the Eastern Bloc so I doubt they were exactly fresh A-grade material. Do you have more detail on #1?

The first one might be Seksmisija, a 1983 Polish film about the evils of matriarchy and feminism.

1 sounds a lot like the book "Wool", sort of, without spoiling that too much. I wonder if one is based on the other.

I saw this movie on TV about 25 years ago, it was about some dude from the future that was fighting machines (I remember one of them being invisible but maybe I had just watched a scene from Predator), and he kept mentioning he needed "Earth-Movers" to stop them. There was also some shiny piece of metal that was a portal to the future and at one point some trucker sticks his head in it, and a machine is there waiting for him and pulls him threw, leaving only a bloody boot spinning in the dirt. Even as a kid I knew this movie was kinda stupid, but it's stuck with me for all these years, if someone could shed some light on it I would appreciate it.

I get a very Albert Pyun vibe from what you're describing for some reason. Check out his list: http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0150034/filmotype/director?ref_=m_nmfm_1 If not, maybe check Full Moon Entertainment's list from the 90s. It's huge though.

I checked it out but couldn't find it, did some more research searched through lists of every time travel movie made and found it, it's called The Time Guardian, I also found a nice little youtube video of it that sums it up nicely. Strangely enough, it stars Carrie Fisher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4piIHEMewpQ

Trying to remember a sex education video that was shown at my school several times in the mid 90's. It had a pretty comedic bent, and included 1) A famous female sex educator showing how to use a condom with a guy in a condom costume. 2) A performance by a band called Corky and the Juice Pigs. 3) Another band playing another comedy song called "He Slept On His Arms Last Night".

A movie that might have been made for TV. A guy that seems like a well meaning down on his luck person but is actually a manipulative thieving rear end in a top hat is staying at a family's house for a week or something. The guy had longish hair and a mustache. At one point the guy that owns the house gets into an argument with his neighbor over something super stereotypical like it was literally the neighbor trimming branches on his side of the property or cutting down a tree or something. Anyway they end up coming to blows over it and the neighbor his BADLY injured like he's bleeding out of the back of his head. So the guy goes back into the house to the down on his family (down on his luck guy is there too) and is like oh poo poo one of you go out and make sure he's alright I'm calling 911. So the down on his luck guy goes out and just straight up kills the dude, then goes back into the house, changes into a new set of the home owner's clothes, takes some of the family's money, and leaves. One of the family members notices him doing this and he's just like "Oh uh yeah just wanted to change was doing some yardwork" and they're like oh as if nothing happened. Basically the guy was being portrayed like some master agent of chaos but it was more just that he ran into a family of dumbasses. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Mar 29, 2017 |

Oddly enough, one of the members of The Vacant Lot is Mark Mckinney's brother. I wonder how that went down. "Hey bro, I'm going to do sketch comedy like you, and I'll probably be just as well-known" and then literally 6 weeks later, they no longer have a show. Ah well. There's something about Kids in the Hall that made it incredible, which was pretty much everything. The Vacant lot came across as 'just another sketch comedy show.' This was ok, though (EDIT: Nevermind, just rewatched, it's kind of cringey seeing as though they did this same skit everywhere) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9_3nQFNy-w Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Okay, I'm betting it was from the 60s, since it was dapper Roddy MacDowall as the lead. I think he stole things from his work as a museum curator to bring home to his mother. He has a whole conversation with her while she just rocks in her rocking chair, then when he goes to give her the jewels he stole, the shot reveals she's a rotted husk, Norma Bates style. I think there was also something to do with an evil or haunted Aztec(?) statue that was killing people, but those two plot points seem so incongruent, it may be two separate movies mish-mashed together (I was watching the Blaxploitation film The Thing With Two Heads, dozed in and out, and YouTube just autoplayed more campy movies that I kept briefly waking up during and being extremely confused, assuming it was still the same movie)

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw on TV either in the late 80s or early 90s. I don't remember exactly what the plot was about but it had something to do with a young boy losing his hair. He ends up drinking some concoction that makes it grow very long. He has a dream sequence where he is playing soccer and a dog chases him and attacks him via his hair. I'm not 100% sure of the genre, possibly drama or horror.

Hey everyone! This is a crime movie, late 70s early 80s. Sadly I don't remember any of the actors. However, I feel like it was set in either London or some part of Europe. The end is what I remember the most. The main character, or an important side character, gets in a car on a dirt sandy road. The car is near some plantation, like corn or some other crop. He had been struck on the back of the head/neck during some previous violent scene. When he goes to get in the car he has an obvious limp, and is talking weird, almost like a stroke. I remember that scene because my Dad told me at the time, " You don't get hit that hard and walk normal after." I still think it shocked me that this main character, side character could get so hosed up, with a simple head blow. I recently watched To Live and Die in LA, and what happens to the main character dragged up this memory.

Also, all that big open emptiness of Montana is hard to mistake for Europe, and god knows that Great Falls isn't going to be confused with London. (Source: 29 years in GF growing up, and a shitload of those locations were still present when I was there - they'd shut down the drive-in by the time I was old enough to notice, though.)
