I saw a short bit of a movie on tv, I wanna say 80s. Basically it's like a Catholic school for boys (though the instructors look more like friars). One instructor who's pretty anal and wears glasses wants to know who did something, and he tells this nerdy fat guy to crawl around on the floor saying "to whom brother" or something. So main character (forget actor) is being questioned by instructor in front of everyone, and the instructor says like "I dislike corporal punishment but will use it blah blah" and hits the kids hands with a paddle to find out who did this thing. The kid then looks over at guy played by Matt Dillon who smirks at him so you know he's the one who did it. Main character doesn't want to snitch but he loses it and tackles Matt Dillon. Next scene Dillon and main character are made to sit in silence and Dillon says he was impressed that he held out. Later they are walking out of school and Dillon's like "forget about the fat kid let's hang out" and the main character is sorta reluctant but Dillon puts his arm over his shoulder

This one might be tough, because I only remember one scene. Nevertheless, this scene has been burned into my memory since childhood. I viewed it on a clunky old VHS tape... probably in the year 1988 or 89. It could have been recorded off of TV. Genre: Horror, I assume The Scene: A girl and her boyfriend, both teenager-ish, are in the woods looking for help. They come to a cabin type house. The girl enters while the guy waits outside. When the girl comes back out can't find the boyfriend. When she looks up, she sees him in a tree above the cabin/house, bloody and dead, entangled in the branches. Now, I'm absolutely positive this was a real scene on tape, more or less.. obviously probably missing a few details as it has been so long. I found it really scary as a kid and have since always wondered what movie it could have been from. I wish I had more details, but I figure I'd give it a shot.

I posted this in the GBS thread, but like every other time in my life that I mention this movie, people have never heard of it. I think it was a  production because I definitely watched it on either CFTO-TV or CBC, and the main characters had Canadian accents. Mid- to late-1980s. It could have been a real movie, a made-for-tv movie, or even just a serial tv show that I never happened to catch again. Sorry. I was fairly young when I saw it, though.The main characters were these two kids, a brother and sister, and there were a bunch of Muppet-y looking things (although various Jim Henson searches have turned up nothing). There was some sort of evil witch who took over some parallel world where the Muppet-y things lived, and once the last leaf from the real world touched the ground, it would be winter forever. I remember that the girl caught the leaf and put it in her coat pocket, but then there's this scene where the mother hangs the coat up on a wall rack and it falls to the ground. I don't remember anything else about it except the Canadian kids have to help the Muppet-y things save their world from being perpetually in winter. Please help, so that I can stop thinking that I'm crazy.

Oh yes, I have been dying to find out what movie this was my whole life. When I was really little, I caught this movie on television and I loved it, and several years later when I was in middle school I went and rented every horror movie I could find that was close to the description I remembered to try to find that movie, but to no avail. I have since given up, but this had reignited my interest. Somewhere towards the beginning of the movie, a group of people is standing outside a big old mansion or castle, I don't recall which, and there is a statue outside of it with words in another language. One person - a girl - is able to read it and it says something typically ominous and she says it's not a good idea to go into the house. Everyone else laughs at her and they go in. I don't remember why they were there, but their professor or some other adult figure was with them. I then remember a scene where they are all at a big long table eating dinner, and their dog - yes, they brought a dog to a creepy ol' mansion - wanders over and finds a trap door in the floor somewhere. Being a dog and seeing the presumably wooden thing holding it closed, the dog decides it'd make an excellent toy for a game of fetch and take it. Unfortunately, this opens up the trap door and there's a brilliant white light and byebye doggie. Cue to someone picking off all of the people one by one until in the end, there are only two left - a man and a woman. They are running through the house trying not to get killed by monsters when they find the trap door and go down into this massive room that's completely blinding white. There's a white creature down there that screams at them, and the sound is almost paralyzing and they can barely move. I don't recall how but they kill the creature and run away and the movie ends. Anyone know what film this is?

This gives me hope that I wasn't just imagining things, as un-concrete as your answer is. Sweet! EDIT: HOLY CRAP, I think I found it! It could be either the series Blizzard Island, or the film The Argon Quest, which came out of the series. According to IMDB: quote:Siblings Tracy and Wayne find a mysterious artifact that teleports them to Blizzard Island, a magical place full of strange creatures. They discover that the island is slowly dying, and the only way to save it is by finding and waking up the giant Argon. However, the evil witch Sidney won't have any of that.

This is on the behalf of my mom, who may very well be crazy. She swears up and down that this is a film starring Peter Sellers as a drama critic. However, I introduced her to the IMDB the other night and together we skimmed his entire filmography, and didn't find anything that matched her description. But there's still a good chance that it's a British film from the 60s/70s starring someone superficially similar to Peter Sellers even if it doesn't feature Sellers himself. She can recount two scenes in particular: 1) "Sellers" comes downstairs to breakfast with his family, and upon leaving for work and kissing everyone goodbye, his daughter tells him to give her imaginary friend in the next seat over a kiss too. He does so, and then the daughter tells him that the friend was standing on her head. 2) "Sellers" is having an affair with a woman in his car, and they attempt to get it on but everything in the car that can go wrong does - i.e. windshield wipers go off, the horn gets honked, etc. etc. She remembers it being one of the funniest movies she'd ever seen upon watching it in the theater back in the day, and really wants to see it again. So if anyone has an idea, it would be appreciated by both of us.

That was buried very, very deep in my memory.

This movie was about a guy and his girlfriend, typical Gen X slackers mooching around in a car, maybe indulging in petty crimes. At some point they meet up with this other slacker guy who travels around with them. Main plot points I can recall: * The two leads having sex in a bath while the other guy watches them from outside, jacks off and then licks his hand clean * They rob a convenience store and somehow decapitate the asian owner. Later on there's a report on TV that says that the head of the store owner was still alive when the cops got to the scene. * A big mongoloid guy who works in a burger bar thinks the female lead is his girlfriend and threatens to kill her or something. It was a pretty weird movie, but good in a kind of Lynch way. Any ideas? Gasmask fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 25, 2006 |

This one should be easy. It is currently being discussed in a thread on SA somewhere, but I can't find it. It's the movie with no dialog that looks like it inspired the "cursed video" in The Ring. I haven't seen it, so that's really all I remember about it.

dutch posted:AHAHAHAHHA! I think I might have found it. There is a movie called Quest for the mighty sword, alternately titled Ator III: The Hobgoblin, (It's actually the 4th Ator movie, apparently) that has this description in the plot summary: "When prince Ator becomes 18, he gets the sword from the mean sorcerer gnome Grindl, to free Dehamira and his people," and someone else stated that it "involves a struggle against a troll who also appeared in the D'amato helmed Troll 2," so I'm pretty sure we've found our culprit. http://www.smitheeawards.com/film_details.cfm?Film_ID=271 Yep, that would appear to be it. Thanks a lot for the leg-work! Edit: Holy poo poo, it even talks about magic wrist crossbows that appear for no explained reason in this movie.

I'm trying to find an 80ish kinda movie where this dorky guy wants this girl, and she won't give him the time of day (typical 80'sish plot, am i rite?) and he has no chance until this girl ruins one of her mother's outfit, and this nerd type guy spends a bunch of money he was saving for a telescope in exhange for dating her and her making him cool. And of course, they fall in love! Anyone have any idea?

I've been trying to figure this one out for years. It was a movie I watched during the library period in elementary school. I watched it during the mid/early 90s, but I think the movie seemed older. It was on Laserdisc I think. Basically it was a movie that probably catered to librarians in that it was meant to teach the values of books in our society. It depicted a future society where books are banned, much like Fahrenheit 451. Alas, it isn't Fahrenehit 451. Basically it's a dystopian society where a bunch of rebel book lovers have some sort of command center, wherein they command a group of freedom fighters battling evil book haters across some industrial wasteland-type setting. It was cheesy as hell, I believe, and it seemed much longer than a regular feature film (although that might have something to do with it being as boring as poo poo). Was anyone else subjected to this movie?

Was there a character named "Abacus", and did they all drive around in an old book-mobile? I think I had to watch something like that in library class back in grade school.

To make this not disappear, i saw Borat the other night and in the scene dubbed in that New Yorker article the "Gangsta Section," in the establishing shots of the van driving through the city i heard something that i swear is a clip from another movie. The quote is "Hey baby, you wanna go out?" and it's spoken by what i assume is a prostitute. Assuming it is the same clip, it's been sampled in music a bunch of times and from that i've heard it extend to: "Hey baby, you wanna go out? You wanna go out, honey? Spend any(?) money? Come here, cutie. Hey, come here. Did you here what i said? I said come here. Come here, daddy. Oh, you look so good." Even if it isn't the same source for what i heard in Borat, i would really like to know what movie the quote is from. Please.

A buddy of mine mentioned a film we both saw years ago, and both of us remember very little of it. It's about south american indians, this much we remember. There is also a white/blonde person among them (quite possibly raised by them?). None of us remember much of what the movie was really about, but I do remember one scene of an indian being shot, and one of the other indians putting his finger in the wound. I also remember a scene where one indian is climbing a telephone/electric pole or something, and gets shocked/dies.

It was an asian film which I remember people calling one of the best thrillers ever made, at the time I checked out the cover of the DVD and it had picture of an asian guy who's face pretty much covered it. I also think that the translated title included the word Murder but I'm not 100% sure. Any help is really appreciated.
