Zarlog posted:This one should be easy. It is currently being discussed in a thread on SA somewhere, but I can't find it. It's the movie with no dialog that looks like it inspired the "cursed video" in The Ring. I haven't seen it, so that's really all I remember about it. I haven't read the thread you're talking about, but I'll take a stab and say Begotten.

TheBoogeyMan posted:I can't think of this movie: one very small side plot involved a bunch of people taking random drugs (I don't think they picked they were taking, it was random somehow I believe) and being generally hosed up. I believe it was set on a college campus, and I think all of the people taking the drugs were in a fraternity. This could be so many things. The Rules of Attraction, maybe. Or Less Than Zero.

Saw a movie 30 years ago. Involved a guy and he did stuff in it. Quick, find it goons. But really, here's a request I made years ago that was never found: I caught something on TV in the late 80s, though I suspect it was made in the 70s or maybe even earlier. It was a horror film or TV show of some kind and the only scene I remember was someone (a little boy, maybe) being in a bedroom. There was a malevolent presence there, like a ghost or demon, and the room turned very bright red and the boy/person suddenly began choking. I also want to say that there was a shot of the house from outside, it looking very typically haunted-housey, and you could see the bright red glowing window on the second floor. It had enough of an effect on me that I drew a very crude picture of the house with the glowing window as a kindergartener and titled it "The Room in Red". No movies by that name, and keyword searches/Google scouring always reveal nothing.

It isn't any of those, though Lady in White is nostalgia-tastic. That Amityville II clip is similar to what I'm looking for in some ways, but when I say the room glows red, I mean really bright, blinding red. Suspiria red. And I'm 75% or so sure that it was a kid being choked. Good guesses, though.

Tae posted:It was a psychological movie or something, I guess. I remember a family sitting on the table, then the father got really angry and smash a plate to the wall. Then there's a weird thing where his daughter's friend was in love with him and he complied secretly and I think he had a gun and people died. Yeah, probably American Beauty. The father is Kevin Spacey, man.

Voodoofly posted:Plus, even though I saw it in 2001-2002 (and it would have to have been early 2002), my best guess is that it was at least a couple of years old by then. It was screened in a film class, either when I was there, or right after I graduated. This one looks like it would have barely been available by that time anywhere, let alone a film class. Earth, maybe?

Nerdfest X posted:A possibly made for TV movie about a cop (maybe NYC) trying to stop a serial killer on the subway. The killer strangles old ladies while dressed up as an old lady. The public is aware of the killers MO. The cop dresses up as an old lady to make himself a target. Just as the cop spots the killer attempting to murder another victim in the next car, some passengers notice that he is really a man, and try to stop him, thinking he is really the serial killer. He finally convices the good samaritans that he is indeed a cop, and stops the psycho. I don't know this movie, but my god, that plot.

Ashenai posted:I'm trying to remember a movie based a single snippet of a scene, and a poorly remembered one at that. I remember a character saying something to another dude with the word "negligible" in it, while stuffing his mouth. He was saying it in a sort of weird squeaky voice, and the whole character gives off this nerdy-pathetic vibe. Puts me in mind of Kutner from House for some reason (but it isn't him, and the scene isn't from House.) It's definitely supposed to be a funny scene, but I can't remember if the movie itself is supposed to be funny. (Probably?) You sure this isn't from the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and Kramer switch apartments and thus start switching personalities? Here's the clip.

Cyril Sneer posted:I saw a preview for a movie once, a few years ago (mid-2000s) and have never been able to track it down. All I remember is that it was a sort of adult coming-of-age type story, featuring an (I think) white collar working schlub expressing his hidden depression/disatisfaction with society's structures/obligations. I recall it being of a somewhat supernatural nature, like the Truman Show or the Lost in Translation (I remember this point specifically as I like these sorts of movies, and so this preview jumped out at me). I could've sworn the lead was Ben Stiller, but upon revewing his filmography, I don't see any movie that matches the description. I still think it was a similar type of actor though - someone known for comedies but plyaing a more serious roll here (think Jim Carry, or Bill Murray). Punch-Drunk Love? It isn't supernatural, but then again, neither is Lost in Translation.

Old Crows posted:Here's one I had marked to see but never saw where it was actually released. This description is all from the trailers: The movie entails Vikings that were shipwrecked in America(?). They repaired their boats and left - except they left one of their own, a little boy, behind by accident. The boy is raised by an Indian tribe. The vikings come back later (when he is a teenager) and the boy fights to protect his tribe. Pathfinder.

Be Depressive posted:I have an "identify this movie" question but have asked about it several times in the this thread to no avail. This has been bugging me for well over a decade. I have a hunch it might be Picture Mommy Dead, a 60's flick with Zsa Zsa Gabor. The imdb plot synopsis isn't very descriptive, but some of the user reviews make it sound very similar to what you described.

SeenUnnoticed posted:I need some help identifying a movie I saw on TV a few years back. A family gets stuck in a ghost town in the southwest and somehow the dad knows a legend about the people of the town hiding in the tunnels beneath the town because of the nuclear tests nearby. One scene had the dad and son find a piece of the desert that had turned to glass from a hydrogen bomb test. They find a camcorder in the ghost town that has footage of a girl saying there's something after them in the ghost town, but it cuts off. They see the same girl in a nearby town and she has no memory of the tape or the ghost town. The movie ends with the family driving at night in the desert, then something jumps in front of the car, they crash, fade to credits. The only other thing I remember was a lot of freaky first-person shots of something stalking the family through the ghost town. Please help. Disappearance.

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. I'm pretty sure this is "The Pledge" with Jack Nicholson.

So she does it to appear crazy, or because she's actually crazy? If it's the latter, there's a scene with Diane Ladd in Lynch's "Wild at Heart" that fits the bill and then some. e: ^^ beaten.

Cornwind Evil posted:I just randomly remembered some movie, it's based around getting some rare old bottle of wine, and at the end it turns out the main character actually has a bunch of money so he buys it at auction, and then he starts opening it in the final scene and the female lead is like 'But old wines basically turn to vinegar' and he says something like they'll either have a really great drink or a great salad. I think it would have come out sometime in the 80's/early 90's (so it's NOT Sideways). Year of the Comet.

DangerDummy! posted:I saw a short film when I was very young, early elementary school. I saw it in school twice, in fact, in two separate grades. It's set in a world where it rains nonstop. A young girl somehow figures out that the rain is going to stop for a short time, but she's a weird-rear end that no one likes, so they don't listen to her. They lock her in a closet one day at school just to gently caress with her, and while she's locked in the closet, the rain stops and it's suddenly a gorgeous, sunny day. The kids all go out and play and bask in the sun, until the rain starts again and they all have to run back inside, where they suddenly remember the poor girl in the closet. They all look really sorry for being such dicks to her, and I think one of them hands her a flower. It sounds like an adaptation of the Ray Bradbury story "All Summer in a Day". There was a version made for PBS in 1982. That's probably it. edit: it's on Youtube
