Erasmus Darwin posted:Hank Azaria being the jerky boyfriend in "Run Fatboy Run". Thanks christ you said this. I was going through all the romantic comedies I'd seen in the last two years to remember this scene because I knew I'd seen it somewhere (even if it isn't the movie the guy is after).

I've been trying to remember the name of a movie with no luck. I know that it's a Japanese movie about a mom with several kids, but she hides all but the oldest brother when they move into an apartment. Eventually the mom leaves and the oldest brother has to take care of the other children. I believe the movie had the word 'secret' in the title. Does anyone know the name?

After going through the list of animated films on Wikipedia without result I'm asking here. An animated film intended for adults, although I saw it really young, and not porn because I saw it on normal television, It is about a woman looking for true love, she goes through different love stories and in the end she have to choose one of the men, I remember that one was a Wall Street yuppie and other was a sailor. It was probably from the 80'a 70's.

There seems to be a movie a friend of mine remembers wherein a guy is about to jump to his demise, but gets shot on the way down. Anyone know what it is?

If it's this old urban legend about the guy who gets shotgunned as he falls, I believe Homicide (I know for a fact Homicide ripped this story off wholesale) and Magnolia are both correct. It's shown up in other places too.

i need help with a movie, so i guess i'm in the right thread. Ok here goes, some cheesy 80's horror flick. I remember two scenes, first scene involves an apple orchard, mayor or sherif takes a bite out of an apple and it's full of worms/maggots/mealworms the other scene involves a guy who locks his mother (whom has turned into some kind of zombie type monster) in the basement. This has been bothering me for awhile now, and i really want to see it again. any bells?

I've got an extremely hazy childhood memory of a movie that still floats up to the top of my brain time and again. I've never thrown it out to any larger film-savvy group of people to crack, so here you go. I must have been no older than 5 when I saw this at home on the TV, and I probably didn't watch the whole thing, could have been just this one scene, who knows. It may just as well have been an episode of a TV show for all I know. I don't actually have any concrete visual memories, just these very vague impressions, and the general sequence of events that unfolded. Also I have no idea whether it was in color or black-and-white. The scene takes place on an abandoned beach, maybe covered with some kind of dark-hued (red?) sand or gravel. We see two men (possibly wearing a sort of hazmat suit or spacesuit-like thing), one of them in the foreground, the other extremely slowly and carefully approaching some sort of beached or crashed vessel seen in the distance. It's about the size of a space ship's life pod, and just lies on the sand (on its side perhaps?). After an eternity passes, the man finally reaches the pod-like thing, and in an excruciatingly long and tense scene he tries to defuse some sort of hugely dangerous nuclear warhead/bomb that is lodged in the vessel. (Or maybe he's the one planting an explosive charge into the pod?) All throughout these scenes the two men are talking to each other through a (helmet-mounted?) radio device, and there is no background music, maybe not even any other sound effect, just deafening silence. The men talk in clipped, monotone sentences, with loooong stretches of complete silence (or at most some droning static) in between. And that's it. I have no idea how the scene ends. All I can remember is that I was terrified to the core of my being and had nightmares for years afterwards in which I was the bomb-defuser and I always screwed up and died in a gigantic ball of explosion. Any ideas? E: well poo poo, a quick google (which I only thought of after posting the above, of course) of "defuse bomb beach" immediately gave me a pretty close-sounding candidate: The Small Back Room (1941), directed by the Powell-Pressburger duo. Time to order the DVD I guess... It would be a huge blast from the traumatic past if it turned out to be the one. poronty fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Oct 17, 2009 |

I'm trying to remember the name of a really bizarre independent movie I saw on IFC over a year ago. It's a surreal or dystopian movie about a group of somewhat strange high school kids living a very disillusioned life. The movie had some pretty blatant themes of bi-sexuality and homosexuality and I'm pretty sure someone gets murdered, but I'm not 100% certain about the murder aspect, I could be mistaken. The only other thing I can remember about this movie is all of the characters play a game they call "kick-the-can" at one point. I remember reading a review that described it as Clueless on acid. ? I know that is a pretty awful description to go on, but no amount of google searching has worked, maybe someone will know what I'm talking about.

There is an animated movie that I have been trying to remember the title of (if I ever even knew it to begin with) that dealt with a couple of kids (or at least I remember the main characters being kids) escaping from some dude chasing them through a series of underground tunnels, or something similar. Most of the movie was blue-tinted (or at least I remember the movie being mostly blue and black, but then again, I saw the movie on TV at least 10 years ago, probably more. At the end of the movie, the characters get out to the surface, and that one of the characters was mute, and in the end he says something. It is pretty hazy and I may be confusing it with another thing but it's been bothering me for a while.

Someone posted this one on the Criticker forum. Now it's driving me insane.guy on Criticker posted:hey, i am looking for a movie i saw a couple of years ago, i did not finish watching it, it was many many years ago. i cannot remember anything of it, but this particular scene: two man are having a conversation, an old one an this younger guy, i believe it was some kind of journalist who is working on a story and an so he makes an interview. well, the old chap tells him about a girl he had seen when he was still young and he says, he had seen her for only a few seconds or so, not even gtalked to her, but since that moment, there was not a single month passing by, when he was not thinking of her, he has never forgotten her. i found that scene very touching, but i don't get the name of the movie where i have seen it! I'm not sure about the one guy being a journalist, but I KNOW I've seen this scene. loving impossible to Google, though.

It does sound like something that could be in Cinema Paradiso, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. I have a strong feeling it's an American movie, or at least one in English, but I'm not certain. Never heard of a show called The Dead Zone, so it can't be that.

EDIT: oh hell I knew it sounded familiar. Mr. Bernstein posted:A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but Ill bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl. It's from Citizen Kane. Fits, Bernstein was old in that scene and was being interviewed by the reporter trying to figure out who Rosebud was. Glass Joe fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Oct 19, 2009 |

Ok this is a tough one for me but maybe someone remembers it. It was on TV around 1996/7. I only watched the first half and went to bed but all I remember was these two brothers (the youngest a red head and called Sam) who outs his older brother at the dinner table with their foster parents who kicks off and argues with his foster parents where his mother says "go to your room" and he replies back "why bother me and him already share the same bed" or something to that degree. Anyway the next scene: the older brother finds out his little brother has a micro chip in his head and has been programmed to do... something... so they immediately run away from home and end up wanting to stay at a strangers house for the night who gets violent with them and the young red head throws a billiard ball at him. That’s all I remember can anyone help me or do I need locking up for wanting to know more about this disturbing film. I believe the title had the name "Sam" in it I think.

I hope someone can identify this film for me. There's an advert on Film4 at the moment (a UK film channel) featuring short clips of different films, but no names given. In this clip, it's a man dressed in grey walking down a huge set of stone steps, surrounded by 10's of other people dressed in red. They form a large circle around him moving with him as he goes down the stairs, and they all appear to be armed with hands on their hilts. I guess it's probably an Asian film.

I saw the movie a few months ago, I think it was from the 70's or 80's, but not positive on that. The movie was probably an action/thriller, possibly with a sci-fi twist. The protagonist is working for a powerful corporation (or the government) and is unwittingly involved in a some major incident. The company is try to find out what happened and somehow one of the clues is a very blurry picture on the computer that they are trying to enhance to see the face of who was involved. The process takes a long time (maybe days) as there is almost no information there and they just try different algorithms to try to get something out of it. Meanwhile, the protagonist is try to solve the larger problem (probably corruption) within the company and when he sees that the image is being developed to the point that it will implicate him, he asks his friend to buy him more time by starting over with a new algorithm. His friend does so, possibly at the cost of his life. The underground computer lab keeps reminding me of Westworld, but I know that it is not that. A little vague, but I would appreciate any help.

It's not sci fi and takes place in the Pentagon but has exactly the picture enhancement as a huge part of the plot.

Kevin Costner's character is the guy in the picture, and he's simultaneously supposedly running the manhunt after the guy in the picture. Sticky situation eh?

I'm usually pretty good at identifying movies that customers at the video store I work at are looking for, but this one has stumped me. The guy said he had seen it on TV a couple of years ago and that it was definitely a foreign film. It's about a girl who gets kidnapped and sold into prostitution ('she even goes to Russia') and a whole bunch of poo poo happens to her. Eventually she manages to escape and gets picked up by these two dudes who lock her in a garbage container and force her to make horse porn. It sounds like Lilya 4-ever, sort of, but I haven't seen that one. From what I can gather it was European and not that old; with the whole horse porn thing I thought for a second he might be trying to pull a fast one but he seemed pretty sure of himself.
