I barely remember this crazy movie where this woman turned kids into mice. I don't seem to remember much else but it was freakin weird.

The Witches?

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?

I think I may have seen this as well. 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.

A Japanese movie in black and white about a girl who lives in a hut in the middle of a field of long grass, possibly with her mother. Whenver she tries to leave the area surrounding her home a weird mock-up of a demon appears and scares her back into the house.

'Onibaba', directed by Shindo Kaneto.

I swear to god that was a parody of some movie I saw when I was a kid. A town thats totally empty. The pavement is all cracked up and broken. There is no life to be found. Except cockroaches, or maybe worms. I remember a bunch of bugs. Then eventually this crazy looking dude with hosed up eyes/goggles/glasses comes out.

What movie is this?

'Damnation Alley' maybe?

Does anybody remember a movie that takes place on an island I think right after the end of WW2. There is a Japanese and an American soldier on the island I don't think they know the war has ended. They fight it out over the course of the movie. I think the American has some sort of M3 grease gun with two barrels.

I forgot who won. Probably neither of them.

Probably Hell in the Pacific
