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.

I saw a short bit of a movie on tv, I wanna say 80s. Basically it's like a Catholic school for boys (though the instructors look more like friars). One instructor who's pretty anal and wears glasses wants to know who did something, and he tells this nerdy fat guy to crawl around on the floor saying "to whom brother" or something. So main character (forget actor) is being questioned by instructor in front of everyone, and the instructor says like "I dislike corporal punishment but will use it blah blah" and hits the kids hands with a paddle to find out who did this thing. The kid then looks over at guy played by Matt Dillon who smirks at him so you know he's the one who did it. Main character doesn't want to snitch but he loses it and tackles Matt Dillon. Next scene Dillon and main character are made to sit in silence and Dillon says he was impressed that he held out. Later they are walking out of school and Dillon's like "forget about the fat kid let's hang out" and the main character is sorta reluctant but Dillon puts his arm over his shoulder

I am trying to remember a movie I saw mentioned in this forum a month or so ago. It was an asian film which I remember people calling one of the best thrillers ever made, at the time I checked out the cover of the DVD and it had picture of an asian guy who's face pretty much covered it. I also think that the translated title included the word Murder but I'm not 100% sure. Any help is really appreciated. :)

Is the guy's face slashed up? If so then you are probably thinking Ichi the Killer

Actually I've thought of a second movie. This one, also Korean, is pretty hosed up. It starts out and this girl pickpockets or shoplifts some poo poo. These guys track her down and one of them can't talk because he got his vocal cords all hosed up or something it turns out. Anyway they basically turn her into their prostitute, who this silent guy may have more of there was a whole row and I can't remember if they were all his or not. So at first they don't make her gently caress for money, they sit her down behind some one way glass and have her watch other prostitutes have sex for money. Eventually they put her out there and she's obviously all uncomfortable with it. At some point the silent guy pissed off some other guy and he gets stabbed with a gigantic chunk of loving broken glass. Most bizarre assault ever. So eventually this girl, she like breaks away or something, I think, and goes to this little beach where she thinks about drowning herself or something. Then the silent guy shows up with a truck with a bed in the back and as oppoesed to killing herself or trying to run away or anything a normal person might do she just goes back to being a hooker and fucks some guy from the beach, if I'm not mistaken. Really hosed up movie, it's not really as important as the first one because I just want to know the name so I can tell people with a name as opposed to describe a nameless Korean movie.

Bad Guy?

Thanks. The cover on Amazon is wrong but I can't imagine there were two movies with that plot, and now that the synopsis mentioned it I remember he watched her from behind glass too so I guess it has to be it. Thanks again Alan Smithee.

Guess that piece of paper Cal gave me is worth something after all

As to your first one it doesn't ring a bell, though to be honest I've only watched about 3/4 of a Korean movie total. Read about em though. How old is it, how popular and any idea what the cover looks like?

Been curious about a movie I saw on tv, only the ending. From what I remember our badass anti-hero (might've been wearing black, leather, or both) is holding a bad guy hostage (I remember him being either mid-eastern or latinoish in complexion, think Borat). Baddie has a grenade in his mouth, and cops are holding a standoff. So anti-hero yanks the pin and takes off, while baddie doesn't wtf to do so kinda runs around like a headless chicken. Eventually he blows up, taking the top half of his body off. Anti-hero then plays the harmonica.

Question about Family Guy references, in one episode Peter talks about losing his virginity, and there's a reference to Sixteen Candles (Jake Ryan) but I was wondering if the second part, where he gets raped and goes "not like this!" is a reference to something else.

Another reference, was the latest episode, when Meg is obsessed with Brian and sits in her room turning the light on and off (I saw it in the cartoon Hey Arnold too) and was wondering what that was from.

Super vague, not really expecting an answer, but it's worth a shot.

I only saw a preview for it, and it was last year, sometime in the spring/late winter. It looked like it was taking place in England, something about crime. I think it might have been made by some of the people who did Layer Cake. I remember a shot in the preview of someone going up a glass elevator on the corner of a building, taken from the outside. :shobon:

Long shot at best, but if anyone could figure it out, it's you guys.

any idea who the actors were? what was the character doing/look like?

Saw this freeky bit from a movie on Sci-fi channel. I think it's a climactic scene but anyway there's this monster creature, it's anthropomorphic but it's like an inside out person almost and it's holding this priest guy in a church. The priest is freaking out and stabbing it with a knife to no avail. Eventually it throws him out the window and he gets impaled on an iron gate. The next few details are hazy because I was channel surfing but anyway, the creature thing then lays on the bench and two of these creature things start to merge together and I think it becomes a woman. The ending is like a funeral.

It piqued my interest at the time, but obviously I forgot the title. I thought it was a Kurosawa film but looking through his credits on imdb isn't really bringing up anything like this as I remember. Sound familiar?

I remember seeing a clip from a movie on tv (my guess is AMC), it was a WWII movie, but made in I would guess 70's/80's. So one scene allied troops (believe american) infiltrate an insane asylum. There's a French woman there on the inside pretending to be loony (she carries a doll around) so the german troops don't suspect a thing. They watch her dance around with the doll and cop a feel here and there, and when they aren't looking she slits their throats. Later a gunfight breaks out and a bunch of patients are sitting at the dining table oblivious to the shootout. One german falls and a mental grabs his gun and starts shooting randomly.

Any ideas?

quote from imdb trivia: The bulk of the picture was shot in Israel, and director Samuel Fuller remarked that it was unsettling after a scene was shot when the German soldiers and SS troops pull would take off their helmets and Fuller would see them wearing yarmulkes, and between takes they would be sitting around the set in full Nazi uniform speaking Hebrew or reading the Torah.

Coupla ID for you chaps

First one I wanna say 80's/early 90s, there's this dude who's trying to be a hockey player. One scene a dude eggs him on to fight but the moment he drops his gloves he gets decked. Off the ice he moves into this house and checks out this milfish woman's rear end. Later he meets this younger girl and they go to a bookstore. He's checking out what I presumed to be a dirty book and she chides him into getting something classier. He gets both and when he meets her father (not sure on this) he goes "she bought me a book" and pulls out the dirty one.

Second, I wanna say 70s/80. Scene I saw was girl (blonde) sitting naked on a couch post-coitus (I assume) and a dude walks away. Next scene blonde is working a fast food joint (think dairy queen) and she's talking to a girl friend about how the dude could last pretty long despite being young. Later scene some dude is arguing with another dude because he hosed some girl he liked (I think). Sorry to be vague, only scenes I saw

So one scene there's this blonde chick in a car just chatting away, a moment later some ghoulish looking cops stand next to it and she screams, and they cover her mouth. The people who's house I at changed the channel cuz it freaked em out.

Second part 2 chicks are listening to "girls just wanna have fun" in an empty department store. Later some thugs in sunglasses come in with guns. One of the protagonist chicks manages to get an uzi or something and holds one punk hostage. The leader guy shoots the guy and she calls him a psycho.

I saw what I believe was a made for TV movie back in the eighties. I believe the title was the name of the main character, but I can't remember his name. I remember it because it was really depressing - some old people are in a nursing home that treats them badly. They are pretty much powerless to do anything, and if I remember correctly, the nurses foil any chance they have to expose the poor conditions and mistreatment. Finally, at the end, the old man purposely overdoses on medication (perhaps after stealing the key to med room) so that his death will prompt an investigation that will uncover the whole thing. The movie ends with him sitting in his wheelchair dying, I believe.

I remember seeing a movie, wanna say late 70's/early 80s, about a couple of kids who have telepathic powers. A bad guy is holding one of the boys hostage and for some reason the boy cooperates with him. I think the good guys are with his sister. I honestly don't remember if his sister did indeed have powers but I'm positive there was a sister. Anyway at one point they are tailing the bad guy's car in another car and the bad guy tells the boy to lose em by making the sun's glare on their window unbearable, and it temporarily blinds them allowing them to get away for the time being.
