I've been trying (and failing) to identify a movie that I bought it cheap on VHS about 10 years back, watched late at night, and then lost during a house move. Googling, keyword searches, IMDB trawling, etc have all failed me. It involves a criminal in a futuristic world being brainwashed to be a co-operative member of society. The brain-washing fails, I think - my memory is fuzzy - and a small rampage ensues. Themes of self-determination, social responsibility and freedom are touched upon. It's a 70s movie (if I remember correctly), with the attendant down-beat pacing and usage of 50/60s radical architecture to represent the future. I also believe it's probably a pretty bad movie but my curiosity cares not. Now, I should definitively state that this is not A Clockwork Orange, even though the high-level similarities are obviously abundant. The VHS sleeve even boasted that this was the underground/cult/undiscovered A Clockwork Orange that no one had seen so it's possibly a blatant cash-in. Lists of films related to Clockwork Orange haven't got me anywhere. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it's not Overdrawn at the Memory Bank from the online summaries. The movie I'm thinking of does not involve time travel or body swapping with animals or Humphrey Bogart. However, I do now have a new movie on my to-watch-someday list so thanks!

Yup, it sure is - thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdHyLbda96k By all accounts it is a poor movie and the alternate title of Clockwork Terror and the direct name check it gives Kubrick's work is quite shameless as to it's cheap rip-off status. However, I still dig the 70s retro-futuristic styling and the dialog contains a multitude of good bits to be sampled. Thanks again!

Krustic posted:I remember seeing this one around 93 on hbo or something. A blond guy has a accident where he loses use of his legs. He then takes up keyboard and becomes a techno/electronica artist. He is fitted with some sort of mechanical legs and pretty much dresses up like robocop when he performs. A girl he has a crush on becomes infatuated with his techno robot alterego after seeing him perform. The guy is to scared to reveal his true identity blah blah. If I remember correctly one of synthesizers was a Roland sh101 and the movie culminated in a techno keyboard shred-off against some other jerk. Ring any bells? The details are all different but could this be Vibrations? Only a few days ago I came across this delightful clip from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0S6b7_Z404

Tardigrade posted:Way back in the 90s, I caught a brief segment of a fantasy movie on TV that may have been a theatrical movie or a TV movie, I have no idea which. I recall that the protagonist was a woman disguised as a man (a prince?), and was carrying a goose or swan or other waterfowl with her, and said fowl could talk. There was a scene where she and the goose were trapped in a large, organic-looking cave which turns out to be the mouth of some monster. The monster was making them guess where they were, and the exchange was something like "In your palace? In your kingdom?" "... in my mouth". They get out by tickling the creature's uvula and making it spit them out. The only other scene I remember was some kind of swimming contest where the protagonist was trying to undress as slowly as possible to avoid letting her secret out. Yeah, it sounds weird. Sounds like it could be one of Lamberto Bava's Fantaghirò films: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantaghir%F2_series

I think the guy even mentioned that it was his, but he didn't use it anymore. Is it this scene from Six Feet Under? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysCjoa2tS-M

Joey Gladstone posted:Sorry if this one came up before, but this is a long thread. I saw this movie on TV maybe like ten years ago, but it had a definite 80s or early 90s feel to it. Somebody must know what it is with this clue: it was some kind of alien or monster or whatever, and they had these kinda big robes. They opened up the robe, a kid ran into it, and then when the monster opened it back up a bunch of bones or whatever came out. Thanks and God bless Vague, but could this be From Beyond?

Its about a group of scientist working in a lab for a nasa contractor. one of their co workers gets into an accident and they put him in a prototype robot suit. Well his brain anyway. But they didnt put in all the chips for the brain interface or something. So if anyone on touches him he goes crazy and kills them. Ack, I'm pretty sure I watched this on telly (could be a telemovie?) in the late 80s and clocked it at the time as a blatant Frankenstein retelling. Does the ending happen in a radio telescope observatory? I can't recall it's name at all, though.

For some (supernatural) reason nobody can leave the general area, for example if they try to drive away, they just end up at that place again.

Look! A Horse! posted:I have a vague movie scene memory I can't get out of my head. A boy is in some kind of trouble (??) and goes to stay in this couples house. The house is built just for kids, the walls are bright colors, there are toys everywhere; it's a child's paradise. Anyway it turns out this couple are actually horrible pedophiles who have done this before and they get some sort of ultra violent comeuppance. Sorry this is so vague, this is about all i remember. I think the scenes were shot in a very surrealistic, forced-happiness style to foreshadow the coming pedophilia? I believe they also had false walls and tons of recording equipment Running Scared, starring Paul Walker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucRoTH51R9Q

Look! A Horse! posted:this is exactly it, thank you! Was this movie good at all, i have no recollection of ever watching it. Eh, kinda? The film is a modernized (for 2006), ultra-dark guns'n'violence fairy tale. That paedophile scene is just a brief interlude, so if you've the stomach for a whole feature film's worth of that then sure, go fill your boots. I just rewatched that scene and found it quite distressing, despite my background in video nasties which seem more slapstick splatter and over the top in comparison, so I'm not sure I'd personally revisit the whole film. I've a sense that it was produced as a vehicle for Paul Walker to demonstrate his ability to be more than just a breezy family-friendly pretty boy. ynohtna fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Dec 23, 2016 |

This one has been infrequently haunting my dim brain for unknown reasons since seeing it probably around the early/mid 80s. Super-vague memories: a scientist has created a realistic male android for the government but conscience makes him release the bot into 80s USA. Lots of Frankenstein allegories (probably stated outright 'cos I wasn't good at understanding things back then). Creator maybe dies or abandons the robot in a diner. Very down beat and low key feel to the film (likely due to a shoe-string budget in retrospect). And I think the climax is set in a dark and gloomy astronomic observatory.
