Ok, two films (might be one, but I remember two scenes, totally unrelated).

One had whoopi goldberg in a dentist's chair, and the (male) dentist was leaning in to work on her mouth, and his crotch ended up being pushed against her hand. She seemed to enjoy it, I don't think he noticed, oddly enough.


Another scene/movie, some guy is on the phone, talking about something obviously intense, as he seems REALLY upset. Right in the middle of his conversation, an operator comes online and asks him to put another 25 cents in (or another amount) to the phone to continue his conversation. The guy loses it, screaming "WHAT? THIS IS NOT A PAY PHONE!!!"

She did not enjoy it and I think she grabs the guy by the balls. I'm pretty sure it's Burglar, but it might be Jumpin' Jack Flash. They came out within a year of each other and I can't remember which lovely movie she did that in.

Ah thanks! Not that I really want to see it again, just curious.

Now, for the phone scene... anyone? I don't think it was Chevy Chase.

Thanks to whoever answered my 'This is not a pay phone!" request. Oddly enough, I read what you had told me, promptly forgot about it, since I wasn't sure if it was right, and then I ended up watching Funny Farm a few days later, and it all came back to me. Yes, that was the movie.

Ok, another one. I think this is a show rather than a movie, but here goes;

Two scenes:

Scene 1: It's some sort of safari, and a bunch of people (I think) have already been captured in this room with a cage. One guy has to get to them, but in the room, there's this eye on the wall that, if he looks at it, will freeze him with terror/awe/something, and it forces them to walk backwards or something (I know it freezes them, but not in the respect that they can't move at all, it just pretty much makes them forget what they were doing and back away while not being able to look away from the eye). The reason I think this might be a show is because I remember seeing this whole part in full only once, but I recall seeing the 'OH NO, I'M LOOKING AT THE EYE AND I'M BACKING UP NOW!' shot many many times, almost in a montage (perhaps the opening of the show?)

Scene 2: A guy is downtown, and he has a picture, or a piece of paper. It's important, and it ends up being blown out of his hands and floats down a set of subway stairs. He goes down the stairs to get it, and when he turns around, the stairs are gone completely. I think at this point, he realizes he's been transported into a magical world, and has to go through a bunch of trials (the eye thing above might be part of that, I don't know) to get back into the real world. The only thing I remember about these trials (if there even were any) was that, in one bluish-purple misty room, there was a row of either knives or spoons, as tall as a grown person, all lined up, along a walkway.


I have had these memories from this show for as long as I can remember. It's starting to drive me nuts, as I keep wanting to know what they're from. I figure at least SOME goons amid the thousands that visit this site must have seen something like this when they were younger? They were children shows, that I know. For some reason, I want to think it's Captain Kangaroo, the colour version that played in the 80's. Didn't they have a 'story time' each episode?

I want to figure this out so badly that I will gladly buy platinum or archives or a snazzy custom title for whoever can solve even ONE of these mysteries for me.

Crappy made-for-tv ghost movie (man, there were a TON of those between 93-96, weren't there?)

I missed the whole drat thing, but the last scene has a woman vaccuuming, and she hears the sound of many whispers behind her. She shuts the vaccuum off, and turns around... and it ends.

Another one had a scene where two people were in bed, and they woke up to see a silhouette of a man being displayed on their open door, from the light of the moon. Husband went out there after the silhouette moved, and there was no one there. I think the house was on top of some sort of old burial ground.

Ok, I've got one... very hard for me to picture what else is going on in the scene, but it's a bunch of people who are in a bad situation (captured, or about to die, or something) and one guy sort of freaks out at another guy, yelling at him about what's goign to happen to everyone, and he keeps yelling "THAT'S YOUR MOTIVATION!!", as if explaining to an actor how to act.

Anyone?

Okay, this one may be a bit of a stretch, but it's been bugging me for quite some time. I caught the end of a trailer maybe three years ago, I think at Alone In the Dark (:barf:), for a movie that, as far as I could tell, was about evolution going completely wild and the animals just getting awesome and angry and stuff. I remember a gorilla-like creature tearing the roof off of a car and there were a ton of thick, green vines. I think. Did this movie ever come out or is it just a figment of my imagination?

Was this "A Sound of Thunder" (maybe "The Sound of Thunder") with Ben Kingsley?

Just to let you know, don't see that movie. I would instead track down the short story by Ray Bradbury. It's totally excellent (and yes, actually short), whereas the movie took a disgusting amount of liberties with the concept and came out horrible on the other end, and it really, really shouldn't have been made into a feature film. Short film, sure. The way the book ends is perfect.

Actually, scratch all that. See the movie, then read the book, and you'll be amazed.

Looking for an actor, rather than a movie.

He's one of those character actors, more major in the 90's. Tall, red hair, sort of big... I can picture him in a hawaiian shirt. Maybe early 40's by now, he seems like the type of guy who could just have played every Eric Stoltz role ever, only he's bigger than Stoltz, physically. Also unlike Stoltz, he'd never have his own leading role (feel free to correct me, if you know who I'm talking about), as far as I know.

I don't know what scene from what movie it is, but I can picture him saying/yelling "Oh man! OH MAN!".

Not Jason Flemyng (he's too small, plus I know who he is), nor is it Damian Lewis.

Help?

This one was a short film I saw on Youtube I thought was named Wrong Turn. A man turns down a street looking for help (I think) but everyone in the street is Mannequins and he gets confused. He begins to lose it as he walks through the street after hitting a mail box and they all move whenever he isn't looking, he goes into a house and starts destroying a family and he is completely nuts and everyone was real

I'm not too good at describing things but I think these should give a good enough vibe of what I'm talking about.

I don't honestly know if I'm thinking of a show or movie, but the scene is some guy gives someone else a neti pot (the thing you fill with warm water, stick in one nostril, and let the water flush everything out through the other nostril when you tilt your head) for a birthday gift or something. I think the guy even mentioned that it was his, but he didn't use it anymore.

The movie I'm thinking of was a made-for-tv Poltergeist rip-off, which seemed to be a dime a dozen in the early 90's. The one scene I can remember is of a couple in bed at night. They look out to their open bedroom door, which is bathed in moonlight, and there's a shadow of a man just standing there. They go out to check, but no one's there.

Another scene from a similar movie is the last one right before the credits roll. A woman is vacuuming and as the camera sneaks up behind her, you can hear whispering getting louder and louder.

This reminds me of my grandfather mentioning this movie when I was little (like 10 years old) and one of my favourite NES games was 'Uninvited', and I totally thought that they made a movie of it, or it was based on a movie. I tried looking for that film soooo much, and ended up watching this, which was weird and nothing like it.

The Royal Tenenbaums, when Richie finds out that Margot has been cheating on Raleigh with a bunch of guys, including Eli.

I've always wondered why Richie says 'I'm going to kill myself tomorrow', but then just does it right there. Anyone?

edit: Oh, nevermind... from the commentary (copy-pasted from a site discussing Anderson answering this question):

quote:

Anderson mentions confusion he has heard from audience members about Richie’s line “I’m going to kill myself tomorrow” followed by him slitting his wrists. The director explains it’s a line taken from Le feu follet or The Fire Within, a Louis Malle movie, which Anderson notes was a huge influence on The Royal Tenenbaums. He explains this was a “turn” Richie makes and decides then and there to kill himself immediately.
