When I was a kid, I saw this horror movie on TV that started with a woman being trapped in a basement of a house, being tormented by someone in the house. When she's finally able to get out of the basement, she finds that the guy has built this big maze in her house full of traps and poo poo to scare her. It had to be a 70's or 80's movie. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This is kind of vague, but I remember seeing part of a movie when I was really, really young that always stuck with me. The scene looks like it takes place in the '50s and may have been black and white(but I know the movie was in colour) and it's a kid looking down from the stairs to see his parents arguing with the man. I think the father had a gun and the man ends up shooting him and stabbing the mother to death. All of these may be skewed, but the general scene is similar to that.

I saw this late at night several months back- I woke up, and despite my best efforts only remained awake for about 10-15 minutes. I seem to remember it being on one of the movie channels (Encore, perhaps), but I may be mistaken. The setting was some kind of sea-ship battle (although I vaguely recall that they were flying ships, which may or may not be the case- I was only half awake), but the scenery was dark and a little surreal- it looked a bit like a Gilliam film might. There was an old man, presumably in command of one of the ships, who latched onto a volleying cannonball and rode it to the other ship. It looked to be late 80s-early 90s, based on the quality of the film. When I remembered it the following morning, I was reminded of The Crimson Permanent Assurance, but I know that wasn't it. Also, based on the context, it seemed this battle was a small part of a very epic plot, and the old man was clearly made to look old with copious make-up, which makes me think that perhaps the movie spans a large part of his life. Hope this is enough, thanks in advance!

I remember some movie that I only heard the audio of (and maybe saw parts of) a while ago, and this is what I remember. Its something to do with the President of the USA being gay (or at least has sex with other men) and he then he gets AIDs or something. Now I couldve mixed up the storyline/plot (with the POTUS getting AIDs/being gay) but those are some of the elements I remember. For some reason I thought Clint Eastwood was in it (I googled him and looked at his filmography and nothing clicks). One scene I remember, or at least remember the audio, is some sex scene and the top saying that the condom broke and the bottom basically telling him gently caress it and to keep going. For some reason I thought that that was the character of the POTUS, and that was Clint Eastwood. Could it be? Im not sure. Either way, any help Id appreciate it.

The gay/AIDS thing doesn't fit, but Clint Eastwood, the president, and rough sex sounds like Absolute Power.

Two different movies I'm trying to recall the titles of, that I barely remember. Both were subtitled foreign-language films released in the late 1990s or early 2000s. In one, there was a young boy (probably like 13 years old?) who wanted to hire a prostitute. I think maybe he lived with just his dad. Somehow I think he ended up befriending an old man and presumably learning meaningful life lessons from him. In the other, I think a woman lived with her mother in a very rural area, and they were dirt-poor. The woman had a brother who had moved to a big city. I think for some reason she went to the city to look for her brother, and found out that he was dead, and lied to her mother about it?

This is going to be incredibly vague as I saw it in a clip montage. There's a large sculpture of a white lion's head that possibly serves as an entryway. The mouth opens wide and a blue light beams out. That's all I got. I'm assuming it's not very obscure since the other movies in the montage were fairly recognizable.

Need some help from you western' veteran fans here. This is about a movie I saw about 20 years ago. Western. Colour. American (DUH) I think. I may be mistaken, but from what I remember it is about a white horse, that once belonged to an indian (native american) chief, but was taken by an US Army Cavalry officer when he kills the chief. The movie may not be all about the horse, but I remember quite clearly the white horse that once belonged to the indian chief. Any ideas. I tried google, imdb, personal sources, friends sources and got zilch. For a few years now...

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw a while ago. It was an old black and white picture from the 40s or maybe early 50s about Hollywood. It was about a washed-up movie producer who was trying to get back into the business and wanted the help of some of the people he had made famous to get him there. There was a director, an actress and a writer, all of whom got their big break through him but who had also been screwed over royally later on. Most of the movie is told in flashback of the three peoples' dealings with the guy and why they all hated him. In particular the writer's wife died as an indirect result of the producer's actions. Even though they all didn't like the guy he was very persuasive and had a way of getting people to do what he wanted, and the final scene was the three of them all listening in to the same phone as he gives his pitch for his new movie. I don't recall a single actor that was in it, unfortunately. Anyone know what the title is?

Looking for a French film, relatively recent (no older than 90s I think) set in a city (probably Paris) where a group of young people including a girl and 2 guys, have some sort of scheme where the girl befriends an older man, then knocks him out while the guys come in and rob his place, at least it's something like that. The characters like the movie Scarface, there is a scene where they watch it. Sound familiar to anyone?

Sort of random, but this quote popped in my head tonight and I can't figure out where it's from... Two guys are talking, and one guy says he heard something "through the grapevine." The other guy says "You know, if you listen closely to that song it says only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." It's either from a movie or a tv show (Sopranos maybe?) Can anyone place it?

Foreign film - Please help! When - 2007? Not terribly long ago Where - Either on Sundance, The Independant Movie channel, or some other artsy-fartsy channel What - Japanese Thriler The main character is a girl who is either a photography or art student. She starts to go a little crazy & gets into taking pictures of morbid stuff. She checks out some book about morbid/dark photographs from the library. She starts to get these anonymous stalker-ish letters w/ photos (and a video as well I think). At the end she's in an isolated room, tied down to a chair & hooked up to some sort of killing contraption by the writer of those letters. He is decked out in S&M type bondage, has a mask over his head. He is sitting opposite of her. She kills him using the contraption he built. At the end she removes his mask and the man turns out to be the librarian that checked out her book. Other things I remember: * In subtitles * Not 100% if she checked the book out at a library - the setting may have been a book store & she purchases the book. Either way, the guy who rings her up is the killer. * She has her own darkroom where she develops said pictures. * She has a conversation with her friend on a balcony & threatens to jump off & kill herself. * She invites this guy who is interested in her over and does a photo shoot with him covered in blood. * During the scene at the end, she is tried down in a chair which is rigged to some sort of contraption. If she moves a certain way she will die...I think by gunshot. I'm not sure if the title of the movie was in Japanese (the film was in subtitles so it may be likey) but I think it was named after some sort of camera term. But my memory is fuzzy at best. I've skimmed the thread & tried keyword searches through IMDB & nothing seemed familiar. Edit - Found it - "Sei mong se jun." SneekieBinder fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Nov 9, 2009 |

Hmm... well, if I can remember correctly, there's this one horror movie that I watched a few years ago on DVD at home that involved someone who kidnapped people and then broadcasted a video of them near a dangerous object (vat of acid, lawnmower) or trap over the Internet. After a certain threshold of people started watching, the person would be subjected to the trap. I can specifically remember a group of FBI agents or something to that effect attempting to take the person down, whose motivation was that his father's suicide showed up on some shock site. Notable scenes in my mind would be the main character being trapped in her car by way of the killer hacking into it (  ) and one of the agents getting kidnapped and thrown into the aforementioned vat of acid, with torture porn levels of gore.
