I want to say this is a World War II movie but I recall it being in color, so for the record don't limit to WWII scenarios. I believe I saw this early 90s on tv and it basically had a group of commandos escaping a compound after a mission completed. Most of the commandos got into a car and starting driving, and one black dude (think he was black, which of course is another reason I'm unsure it was WWII what with segregation, though that never stopped Hollywood revisionism) throws a grenade down a shaft or opening before chasing after the vehicle. They do the whole "cmon cmon!" thing but black guy gets shot while running and they have to leave him.

Mine: May have been a silent movie. Probably a major one, but i can't fit this scene into any i can think of. A man is doing the chivalrous thing, laying his coat over puddles for a girl to walk over. He is distracted and lays his coat over a hole. Girl falls in hole. Help?

Saw this on cable late at night years ago... some sort of really obscure and really lovely kung fu movie made in the, oh, 70s, with all these fight scenes where EVERY SINGLE hit or kick in the movie used ONE and ONLY ONE "ka-tchhh" sound sample. The entire movie! No exaggeration. Also there was a character with no arms, and a character with no legs, and the no-legs guy had a set of hooks on his back with which he could hook on to the back of the no-arms guy and they would form a unified and complete fighting machine.

I've heard about that one, I think it's Crippled Masters.

1. All I remember is a scene like a school dance and the floor opens up and it turns out to be a pool and everyone starts swimming and then something happens and the floor starts closing again and people are fighting to get out. Honestly I don't even know if it wasn't a dream.

That's vaguely like a scene from It's A Wonderful Life.

It's about south american indians, this much we remember. There is also a white/blonde person among them (quite possibly raised by them?).
None of us remember much of what the movie was really about, but I do remember one scene of an indian being shot, and one of the other indians putting his finger in the wound. I also remember a scene where one indian is climbing a telephone/electric pole or something, and gets shocked/dies.

OK. I have a movie I can't seem to place but I know I've seen it. It's about a teenage girl I assume in the North West. She is "good" girl if you will but is very interested in the local music scene. After attending a few shows, she gets involved in the scene meeting people, losing her virginity, trying drugs, partying etc.

The important things of the movie however is this local rock star who very much resembles Kurt Cobain, who the main female character is very attracted to. This local rock star has a older sister who sort of takes care of him. Also, there are several other characters who are friends with the main female. One of them is a male who eventually kills himself in the end who actually is obsessed with Kurt Cobain. Another is a female who is the front woman of one of the local bands who eventually "makes it big".

Obviously these are very vague descriptions but maybe someone can be of help! Thanks.

I haven't seen it, but could it be Last Days?

It was about a giant crocodile/alligator, the one scene I seem to remember the most, is kids at a birthday party dressed up as pirates or something similar, and one of them is forced to walk the plank, which is the diving board of the backyard pool, I believe the kid was eaten by the croc at that point.

Okay, so in this movie I'm trying to remember (and have been for years) there's this one guy and I think he gets recruited by an older guy (the old guy starts training him, at least) and the few parts I remember is that there is a restaurant scene where they use a serving tray to either block bullets or use it as a mirror or something (I remember the silver serving tray specifically.) I also recall the younger guy being trained to always know exactly where everyone is and what everyone is wearing everywhere he goes.

I've been looking for this movie for years, and I think I first saw it in theaters around 2001ish, but it may have been shortly before that or after it. Sorry for being vague, maybe someone can recognize my movie.

Possibly The Recruit. I don't recall any scene with a tray, but the movie as a whole was quite forgettable.

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.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but it might be Raoul Walsh's Thief of Bagdad. That certainly looks like Douglas Fairbanks in the first shot, and I'm pretty sure there's a giant bat.

The movie would have came out 2-3 years ago and it was about this cop, who I thought was Gene Hackman or at least a simmilarly seasoned veteran actor, that had retired from the force but still continued to work on this old case. He possibly made a vow to solve it.

A few summers ago a friend and I were trying to recover from July 4th activities by doing nothing but watching crap on TV waiting for our hangovers to go away.

We came upon the worst movie either of us have ever seen, it was so bad we could not turn away. It was so bad, we consider it the funniest movie we have ever seen.

The plot: A groups of teenagers (6 or so) move from the Midwest to Manhattan to become professional dancers. The can only afford a small crappy apartment. Cue montage 1: The group puts on some tunes, dances, and proceed to fix up the apartment to more livable standards.

To make some money they begin dance as street performers and get people to put spare change into their hats.

They eventually go out for an evening�s entertainment at some new hot underground club. In the club they are confronted by a street gang. This is not your typical gang as they have no guns, no knives, no bike chains, or weapons of any sort. Their means of intimidation are urban street and break dancing.

A dance fight ensues and though our team of intrepid Midwesterners gives it their all, the street gang shows them up makes fools out of them in front of all the club goers.

The group is distraught, and infighting nearly tears them apart and almost sends them packing back to Iowa (or where ever they were from)

The group rebounds, and decided they are too good of friends to split up. They vow to practice and try harder, but most of all; learn some new moves. Cue montage 2: The group goes from to club to club trying to pick a new hip repertoire of moves. Learn, practice, learn, and practice.

The group finally decides they are ready and head back to the original club. The street gang is there and rightfully cocky after handing our hicks a thorough beating the first time around. However, all the practice and new moves payoff as the street gang is defeated in final scene, another dance off. Our heroes earned their respect and a right to stay in Manhattan.

I have been searching for years for the title and a copy (no, I�m not asking for files) of this movie and have made a number of requests on places like craigslist. Once I find the title I�d really like to buy this on VHS or DVD if possible. Please end my suffering and tell me the name of this movie.

I am 99.9% sure this is not Breakin� And is was definitely from the 80�s

Country of Origin: USA

I can't tell. The plot sounds right, but I could have sworn most of the cast was white, which made it all the more funny, and goddamn it if I'm not having the hardest time believing the worst movie I have ever scene was directed by Sidney Poitier with a sound track by Quincy Jones. I�ve just done Google and Yahoo searches and haven�t been able o come up with anything more definitive to let me know if this is the movie or not.
I�ve tried looking for clips of the movie on You Tube to be sure, but there are none.

This is worse than not having a clue at all.

What about this user comment?

quote:

This is a movie about a bunch of kids from Sandusky, Ohio who all move to NY to pursue their dream of becoming famous dancers. They wind up finding out the hard way that living in the Big Apple is both dangerous and expensive! To make money as well as hone their dance skills, they end up dancing on the streets of NY and developing a fan base so that they can also book gigs. During this time, another group of dancers from the city, led by a street dancer named Caesar, who have somewhat made a name for themselves don't really appreciate the new kids on the block taking over their turf. They wind up having a dance-off at a popular club called the Zoo in NY, only to have their hats handed to them and sending them back to the drawing board.

In hopes of winning a huge dance competition where they could receive national attention, they realize they still have a lot of work to do. They also need new moves since it appears, all of their old moves are outdated. They hit every club in the city, studying and practicing until they are ready for the competition - and a final showdown with Caesar's boys at the infamous club, "The Zoo".

This movie is filled with incredible dance scenes, great music and it is a true coming-of-age film that follows the trials of trying to "make it" in whatever you do. They have to break a few rules, cut some corners and dodge some fights, but in the end, the hard work pays off.

It was like a documentary, except there was no documentarian voice over. The first scene was of these dogs killing each other. It was brutal.

Around 1990 or maybe even earlier, I watched an animated movie which may have been in an anime style. I only remember two things clearly. People flew around in hang glider type contractions. In one scene the main character (possibly female) is trying to stop a large worm (?) entering a sea of acid. She tried to push it back, but it keeps going and eventually her foot hits the acid and gets burned. There may have been an environmental theme to the whole thing. Some sword fighting and bleeding was also present.

Can anyone distill this mess of memories into a title?

Watched This: Early 90's maybe
Genre: Action/Adventure I guess. Maybe some mystery type stuff.

Remember: The hero guy gets partnered up with some girl (by accident probably), and there is this running joke where the guy will demonstrate some crazy skill like being able to speak french or something, and she will say "Hey, you never said you knew how to speak french!". Then he would respond with "I never said I didnt know how to speak french!

I think it was some adventure type movie where the whole time they are trying to find some artifact and give it to a museum or whatever. And at the end the girl is all mad or something because she finds out some rich guy just bought said artifact for like 10 million dollars or whatever. Surprise, surprise, turns out it was the hero.

The first is a comedy.

When I was very young, I saw a movie on TV very late at night. In this movie, a family lived in a city or suburb, and all were pretty happy, except for the dad, who was kind of frustrated with living in civilization. He mentions some friend or neighbor who moved into the sticks when green goo came up through his drain. He says he'd move out if this happened, and then the next shot shows it happening. They move into the mountains, and the movie is mostly their adventures trying to adjust to living there. They have some distant neighbors who are survivalist nuts, and give the dad a tour of their bunker that has lots of food, lots of provisions, and waterbeds that have a nozzle so you can drink from it if other water stores are exhausted. The neighbors are assholes, too. Towards the end of the movie, there is a really bad storm, and the main characters' house is the only one that doesn't get flooded. All of the neighbors, including the rear end in a top hat survivalist ones, show up for shelter, usually bringing with them animals and such. The mom of the family recognizes one of the chickens that the survivalist rear end in a top hat brought with him, which proves he stole some of their chickens. I believe the movie ends with the family moving back to civilization.

Good luck to whoever attempts this one, I don't have too many clues as to what it is.

I saw this movie possibly 2 summers ago on Sci-Fi channel at 4 AM. Although I saw it on Sci-Fi, I do not believe it was a Sci-Fi made movie. The movie seemed much like Bruce Campbell movies, although he was not in it (read: over-the-top, blatant satirism, comedic sci-fi). All I can remember is that the main character time travelled and he fought aliens. If I remember correctly he worked for the government as well. In addition to this, I believe the movie may have been a sequel. Also, I believe that the movie's title was fairly long (at least 4 or 5 words), if that helps at all.

I think this was an episode of the outer limits or sliders or something. There was a world that was a suburban neighborhood, and all the houses are the same, and everyone's happy all the time. They have the exact same schedule every day, and everything is happy and perfect and exactly the same every day. Exactly the same down to every detail.

Except at the end of every day they have to go in the basement. Everyone's basement is a torture chamber and everybody has a horrible demon there that cuts them apart and tortures them anally stuff, and then burns the cut up body peices in the furnace.

Then the next day they're alive again, but the twisted part is they know that at the end of every day they have to go in the basement, and thats why they're so happy all day cause theyre trying to keep it off their minds.

I mean, surely I couldn't be making this all up... right? I remember seeing it when I was young, and if this was a dream, thats a hell of a dream for a kid to have!

drat, I hate you people sometimes. I KNOW what this is, and it's going to drive me crazy until I figure it out. I do not think this is a TV episode, unless I've got something else in mind.

OK, here's something relatively recent (past 5-7 yrs or so?). I remember a doctor who has emigrated from Africa and is driving a taxi to raise enough money to bring over the rest of his family. He works such long hours that he's forced to buy some sort of herbal stimulant to stay awake. The only other detail I can recall is at the end: he (or someone else?) recites some remarkable lines about the working class and/or immigrants - something like: "We clean your streets, we drive your cabs, we...etc.).

Dirty Pretty Things

The doctor: How come I've never seen you people before?
Okwe: Because we are the people you do not see. We are the ones who drive your cabs. We clean your rooms. And suck your cocks.

The second movie I want to identify I remember more about. There's a female teacher and a bus full of children in I think Australia that gets hijacked and kidnapped by some guys with guns and animal masks. The teacher ends up rescuing the kids and there's one suspenseful scene where they all swim underwater in cave. This movie sticks out in my mind because it was on our local Fox affiliate and at some point showed the woman topless on network television and I was very confused.

This sounds very familiar. It's been ages since I've seen it, but could it be The Gods Must Be Crazy?
