Nique posted:In xXx there's a restaurant scene with a sniper, and a silver tray is used to blind him temporarily. Alright, so right now I'm pretty sure that I have mysteriously blurred together the movies xXx, Spy Game, and The Recruit. All movies that I enjoyed quite a bit. To be honest, I'm surprised that you guys were able to pick out those three movies, since I'm pretty sure that it's elements of those combined that make my mystery movie. Sounds like the premise for a good game: mix three movies together and write a summary for it and see if people can come up with the contributing movies.

I'm not particularly eager to see it but I'm curious to see if anyone cacn ID commercial of a movie I saw about WWII in North Africa, made a little later and in color. About Allied troops, one American featured in the commercial (think it was Belushi) and a Brit who says "reckon you..." or something. Basically bunch of Afrika Korps troops who Belushi describes as "thirsty Germans" are after their water supply.

This one is very vague, I doubt anyone can answer it. I don't even really remember much of the movie. Its a drama set in the 30s-50s. I think it had WW2 pilots/soldiers, but most of the movie wasn't about the war. There was little to no action at all. It came out in the early 90s. I also think the title had dogs or birds in the title. War dogs, or fighting eagles. Something along those lines. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi.

I'm not sure why I even want to find out what this movie is, but here goes: It's a typical "comical switcheroo" type movie, where two boys -- one black underachiever and one white overachiever -- for a no doubt idiotically contrived reason (can't remember how, exactly) end up having their school applications mistaken for each other, or something like that. Thusly, the nerdy white guy has to go to a predominantly black, inner-city school and the cool black guy is sent to a prestigious private school. Presumably, comedy ensues. Needless to say, the lives of the black kid and the white kid end up intersecting in some way, and at the end the white guy has gotten a lot less nerdy and more cool, while the black guy has gotten less anti-intellectual and has learned to appreciate the value of hard work and blah blah blah. I'm sure you could've figured out exactly how the movie would play out just by hearing the premise. One particular sequence, in which the white boy inquires into the grammatical nuances of African-American Vernacular, specifically the phrase "I be flyin'," stands out in my mind. Also, near the end there's some sort of car chase. Any takers?

baronanglish posted:This sounds a lot like Class Act (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103978/), though neither Kid nor Play is white and they both go to the same school, albeit different wings of it (the honors section is really ritzy). Kid (the smart one in the film) is biracial, though, and a lot paler than Play, so this may be the movie you're thinking of. Ah yes, that's it. Guess my memory was a bit rusty. Thanks.

There was a trailer for a movie posted a couple months ago. I believe it was a foreign movie set in modern day (possibly the future, though). It had a similar digital polish that Sin City and 300 have, but I don't think it was based on a comic. I'm also pretty sure it was either mostly or entirely in black and white. Can anyone help me figure it out? I can't even begin to search for it. I'm checking out Apple's trailers right now, but I don't even have a hint of what the title is or if it's even still up. Thanks in advance. Jamesman fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Dec 11, 2006 |

It was a movie from my childhood - (late 80s early 90s), So, there was a little girl whose grandma was going to go to a nursing home, but she didn't want her to go... and then a doll she had came to life and took her through the mirror where a little boy doll and then went on a mission to find a witch who had the secret to eternal youth or something of the sort. The witch had strawberries that she ate to give her youth. When the girl tried to get the strawberries back through the mirror to her world, she tripped on the mirror and they fell and dissapeared. And in the end her grandmother didn't have to go to a nursing home.

alright... I have another one: another form the early 90s or so (Not sure if it was actually japanese, but kind of looked like anime) A movie about a guy who shrinks and goes into a greenhouse, and he meets a fairie that lives in the plants, and they meet this black, evil thing that's trying to take over and kill all the fairies that live there... and the fairie ends up dying in the end and the guy comes back to regular size and takes care of the greenhouse. Everyone suggests ferngully, but that's not it! thanks for the help....

No, this one is real old school, silent film era (or just after) as the leads had the extra makeup of the period (and the camera speed was consistant with early handcrankers.) The giant bat is on a string so can't be anything Harryhausen. I don't know of any films like that from that era, though.

That certainly looks like Douglas Fairbanks in the first shot, and I'm pretty sure there's a giant bat.

I figure that since someone figured out Renaissance from about three sentences, I post some more info I came into through talking to the friend I mentioned in the first thread who had seen part of it.quote:This is the important one Okay, apparently the test failed because the robot's hydraulic fluid was red. The fat guy's arm gets infected because he got cut after the robot and the fluid reacted to the blood. Finally the fat guy got his arm ripped off, not just his finger. Please and thank you.

Not mine but for a friend. It's about a French girl who moves from Paris to New York (or vice-versa) in order to find her dad or something, and throughout the film she looks totally French (Skirts / Beret...) I think she also cries a fair bit. There's a minature Statue of Liberty, or Eiffel Tower, which she takes over with her and near the end the base breaks open and clues about her lost love appear.

I remember watching a movie during my childhood that scared the poo poo out of me, but it wasn't particularly horrific or anything, I was just young. Some little kid's parents, or maybe just his father, get murdered and he is kidnapped by the two perpetrators. One is mostly calm and one is a total psycho, both male. The psycho ends up having his head crushed in an oil well or something, and the other one gets shot by the police, maybe at an intersection. The flick was either from the '70s or '80s. Can't remember anything else. Help?

Well I think I found the movie I was looking for earlier so I'll just ask about a scene from a movie that just popped in my head. Basically this guy is pulled over and there are a ton of cops pointing guns at him and he reaches into his coat and gets shot to death and it reveals he was just reaching for a lighter, then it goes back to the beginning of the same scene and you realize that what you just saw was him imagining doing that, also there might be one of these in it.

Here is one I saw a long, long time ago on TV. I've looked in the thread, didn't see anybody requesting this, but I could be mistaken. Movie starts with a plane or boat crash on a deserted island. The survivors are milling around, and I believe they climb a mountain to see how big the island is, only to see that it stretches out further than they can see. They are attacked, either by evil humanoids or monsters or dinosaurs or something, and this guy shows up with this little device. He uses it like a weapon, and defeats the attackers. The survivors are greatful, and one of them remarks "That's a nice little weapon you have there." The guy with the device says "Some weapon...I don't even know if I have the strength to use it again." He takes them somewhere, and they get involved with a plot that has to do with the evil guys on the island, who I believe are in control. The guy with the device is or becomes a rebel against them. The movie had alot of weirdness in it, including strange creatures and machinery and stuff. I know this is a vague description, but I'd like to know what this movie was.

Been curious about a movie I saw on tv, only the ending. From what I remember our badass anti-hero (might've been wearing black, leather, or both) is holding a bad guy hostage (I remember him being either mid-eastern or latinoish in complexion, think Borat). Baddie has a grenade in his mouth, and cops are holding a standoff. So anti-hero yanks the pin and takes off, while baddie doesn't wtf to do so kinda runs around like a headless chicken. Eventually he blows up, taking the top half of his body off. Anti-hero then plays the harmonica.
