I remember seeing a film about a girl or girls who had psychic ability/psychokinesis or were witches. One of the girls had darker hair and they were in high school I believe. I think there was some hallucination scene in a lunch room at some point. Other details: I saw part of the movie on VHS ~1995. It was rented so it couldn't have been really obscure. From the look of the film it had to be from 1975-1979 I'm guessing. But it could've been early 70s I suppose. Also, I'm pretty sure it was rated R. PS not Carrie.

Mouser.. posted:Are you thinking of this girl from Suspiria? It was about a coven of witches at a Ballet Academy. No, that's a decent guess though. (I've seen Suspiria). I probably saw 30 minutes into the film and there wasn't much horror/violence from what I remember. It was more tension and mystery.

These Loving Eyes posted:The second one is a bit trickier. It's some doll horror movie from the 80s or really early 90s (I saw it in 1993). There's a small girl doll in a pink or purple dress going around killing people. I think one of the characters is killed off by putting their arm or hand into a sewing machine. I could swear the movie was translated to Noiduttu Nukke (Bewitched Doll) in Finnish but that google search turns up nada. I think the cover had the doll standing in a hallway with a knife in her hand, the whole color scheme being sort of blueish. This? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104119/ edit: NM you beat me.

VampireRobot posted:I'm trying to remember what movie this is. There's a scene where police are transporting a prisoner, and they (pretend?) to have car trouble, pull over, right under an overpass or a bridge or something, and then a van with guys (maybe they might have been other police officers?) in ski masks pulls up and they shoot the prisoner in the back. The thing was, it was like a conspiracy to murder the prisoner. Sounds similar but not identical to a scene in Once Upon a Time in America as well.

TetsuoTW posted:One of his allies is an old cop/sheriff/similar who used to be the Plucky Teen until he got too old for it or something. It was obviously self-aware about the whole idea, but still played it relatively straight. Probably not it but this part of the description reminds me of of Fright Night (1985).

headcas3 posted:All I remember is the final shot in which a long rolling shot goes through a series of rooms showing plot points/reasons the character/s were the way they were. The door slams behind the camera as it enters each new room and there may or may not be a reversed scream type sound underscoring the entire shot. It's been a while but I think I remember some of these aspects being in The Cell (2000). Probably not your film but it did remind me of it.

fraggle rockist posted:I've been trying to remember a movie from either mid-to late 90's or 2000-2001. It's about an fbi agent going to a small town and trying to find a child kidnapper. The main part I remember is that he discovers a drawing in the school of man in the woods that one of the kids had drawn. I wanted to say it starred either gene hackman or tommy lee jones but from what I can tell it doesn't. "A Perfect World" came to my mind but I'm not sure. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107808/

Jon Pop IV posted:I only remember one scene from the film. It may have taken place in the seventies. A group of young guys lure these two teenage girls over to an empty house. One thing leads to another and they start gang raping the older girl. The younger girl starts freaking out and crying, they wont let her leave but they don't rape her either. She has to sit there and listen to the older girl screaming. The whole thing was very surreal like a David Lynch film. Could it be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_House_on_the_Left_%281972_film%29 ?

Finnish Flasher posted:I saw half of this old horror movie when I was 9 or so, this was back in the mid 90's. I guess the movie is from 80s but im not sure. It told a story of this small village where most of the people were farmers, and are scared shitless of some monster that apparently lurks outside their village from time to time and was able to possess some of the villagers iirc. Really hazy on the details, parents only let me watch half of it. I didnt even get to see the monster, I have no idea if they showed it or not. Remember a lot of scared farmers though. "Rawhead Rex" comes to mind.

wa27 posted:I'm watching the cnn documentary on the Oscars and they showed a clip during the Best Editing segment. It was a series of quick cuts between a woman, a man, and a bike tire running over a piece of glass/mirror in a grass field. It looked like a 70s film. Anyone know what this is? It probably won a best editing oscar. I watched it too and didn't recognize it. Going by the list of references http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3481232/trivia?tab=mc&ref_=tt_trv_cnn it might be The Last Picture Show (1971). I haven't seen it yet so maybe someone here can confirm if there's a bicycle in that one.

Violator posted:Also, does anyone know of any tools that would allow me to get more data from my Watched and Rated Netflix histories? Like if I could find a way to get more data and put it into a spreadsheet, I could sort by genre and year and whatnot. I know there used to be a bunch of Netflix apps, but didn't they shut down their API or something? Some of the site doesn't seem to work well but for DVD activity: https://dvd.netflix.com/RentalActivity?all=true Right-click > view page source and copy/paste it into notepad and then into excel/spreadsheet. But that page only has movie titles, star rating and ship/return date. Probably not what you want exactly.

It is NOT The Name of the Rose or the 1991 Pit and the Pendulum but generally is definitely similar to the latter. It may have been a made for tv movie. I think it had to have been in the mid 90s, like 1996 at the latest. Maybe The Crucible (1996).

It's a movie from the late 80s or early 90s. I think two couples are taking a vacation on some island or beach and at one point they're playing high stakes monopoly with real $$$. One guy loses and gets upset. I'm pretty confident it had well-known actors like Robin Williams or Kurt Russell or Jeff Bridges.

Not a bad way to spend 100 minutes though. IIRC the film I'm thinking had two men and two women playing Monopoly on a beach at night and it was serious, high stakes stuff and the guy who loses does the typical "double or nothing" thing to try and recoup his losses.

Cornwind Evil posted:Early 90's comedy film, it's about two young black men, one a nerd and one a supposed thug, they are both trying to get into school but their ID's get mixed up so the nerd is sent to a dangerous ghetto school and the thug to a high class urban school, and of course wacky hijacks ensure. One thing I remember is some bully who targets the nerd is defended by two grown men who like and want to help the nerd for some reason: they throw a sack over him and smash him all over a classroom to make it look like the nerd beat him up. Class Act http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103978/ In the early 1990s the theater nearby shut down while this was still playing and somebody climbed up and removed the letters C and L from the title. So for a few months the abandoned theater was playing rear end ACT.

My Lovely Horse posted:Saw a scene from what was probably a martial arts movie the other day where a woman was dancing in a circle of gongs and hitting them with her very long sleeves. Looked relatively recent and had very vivid colours, although I did see it on a demo display in an electronics store so maybe they just turned the saturation way up. I guess it could have been a custom store demo scene but it seemed a bit too specific a scene to shoot just for a demo DVD. Maybe House of Flying Daggers.
