This is a huge shot in the dark, I don't know anyone who has ever heard of this movie, but I know it existed: Early to mid 90's kids movie that played on HBO or Showtime back then. Might have been a made-for-TV movie, I'm not sure. It involved a kid who's dad was a scientist who invented a battery that could power an automobile. Bad guys were hunting the dad down to steal the battery. The dad hides the battery in back of a wall clock in the kitchen. The kid takes it from there and seeks to protect it from the bad guys, who are now after the kid for it.

One of them has a shirt with a big skull and cross-bones on it. They end up finding a real pirate ship. codyclarke fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Aug 23, 2009 |

This is one that has bugged me and a few friends since I was in like 8th grade, and I've never figured it out, so I'm thinking it might be mostly imagined a la that 'That's the beauty of it! It doesn't do anything!' fiasco. Here's hoping it does ring a bell here, though: This is most likely and 80's or 90's movie. In it, there's a scene where a teenager is being nagged by his parents in his room. He's getting increasingly annoyed, clutching his head and grimacing, but not saying anything. Then finally, he yells, in slow motion: 'SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Rastor posted:This has been driving me crazy. I think it's a romantic comedy, one of those ones where at the beginning the girl is with a jerk. In this one we know he's a jerk because in one scene the jerk and a kid (maybe the girl's kid?) are at a pond, and the jerk has an expensive remote controlled sailboat and either won't let the kid play with it or tells the kid not to break it. About a Boy, I think. My memory of it is hazy though.

I know that it's a Japanese movie about a mom with several kids, but she hides all but the oldest brother when they move into an apartment. Eventually the mom leaves and the oldest brother has to take care of the other children. I believe the movie had the word 'secret' in the title. Does anyone know the name? I haven't seen it myself, but I think it's Nobody Knows. I remember hearing about it a while back.

I remember a while ago I heard about a horror film (might have been foreign) that was a rip off of this Twilight Zone episode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Characters_in_Search_of_an_Exit (Don't read much of the synopsis if you don't want the twist ruined) I forget what the name of it was, and it's not listed on the wiki. Does anyone remember a horror film with a similar reveal or gimmick to this episode?

MAJOR STRYkER posted:The second one might be a little bit harder: It was an old jap ninja flick or something. The two scenes I remember are is the main dude is fighting on a wooden plank type bridge and ninjas on opisite sides on water skis try to catch him in a net. Later on after defeating those ninjas he comes to a different area where ninjas are popping up out of the sand. Our main hero ends up with a bladed pogo stick and goes hopping around killing ninjas under the sand. Definitely not it, but this should satisfy your desires for ninjas popping out of the stand in the mean time: Ninja in the Dragon's Den (1982)

foodfight posted:I remember watching parts of a movie on TV one time where I think the plot centered on either two neighbors making a deal to either kill each others wife or sleep with each others wife. Anyways, something goes wrong and then I really don't remember much else. I think there was a saxophone involved somewhere. I feel like one of the Bills (Paxton or Pullman) was in it. Lost Highway? That's got Bill Pullman as a saxophonist. Also 'Bill Pullman as a saxophonist!' is probably THE tamest synopsis of Lost Highway ever written.

Postmaster General posted:Alright, this is going to be super vague but I'll try my best: there was a tape I used to get a lot from the library that was this short movie with puppets. It definitely wasn't directly Muppets-related, but I guess it could have been a Jim Henson thing. I think I remember that the main character was a dragon or dinosaur, but that might be totally wrong. I think the title had the main character's name in it. Pretty sure a lot of it took place in a forest and he might have been looking for something in it? I also think I remember there was a talking fountain or wall covered in vines or something. And at one point he might have been in a cabin. Any of this could be completely wrong but hopefully there's enough in there to give someone even a slight idea. Pretty sure this is Eureka's Castle, a great old Nickelodeon TV show!

Caught a bit of an old 60's or 70's martial arts movie, most likely Shaw Brothers, but I wasn't able to find out the title. The scene involved a training sequence for a guy who was being trained by an old man with grey hair and moustache. The guy was doing pushups with the old man, and various other stuff like that, using the old man's body as weight, carrying him, etc. It had a very Luke/Yoda dynamic to it.

He's transported to a different world, where there are these kangaroo/human hybrid things, who have elemental powers and use martial arts and stuff. I think each one had a different element for their power. This has been handled in the thread before, it's called Warriors of Virtue. It's pretty much the 'that movie' for anyone 20-25 years old.

I think it was a horror film but the scene has a man being injected in the neck by some alien thing and if the man doesnt get the alien new victims to feed on he doesn't inject him and the man goes into really bad withdrawals. Brain Damage. Great movie.

Trying to remember a Japanese or Korean movie that came out between the late 80's and the mid 00's. It was sort of a modern swordplay tale but dealing with triad gangs if I remember correctly. The only really distinct part I remember from it is that during the climax, a woman is decapitated in a meadow by the bad guy, and the head flies off though there is barely any blood. Then the bad guy fights the good guy. Also, this sequence might have been a flashback. I hope this is enough to go on, because I'd really like to see this scene again.

It's a tv show more than likely from the late 90s and revolved around I think a cop and villain living next door to each other. Features ridiculous action sequences all in slow motion, very silly action-comedy type show where the neighbours keep having run-ins. Cops and Robbersons?

I've asked this one before but nobody was able to figure it out: This was an old Shaw Brothers era kung fu movie where a guy is doing pushups while an old white or grey haired master sits on his back, as well as other weird training things, all involving the old master making it more difficult with his weight. It was kinda similar to in Star Wars when Luke has to carry Yoda.

It seemed pretty cool and I'd like to see the rest of it. Long shot as I haven't seen it in like 8 years, but it might be Blue Spring. Even if it isn't, you'd probably enjoy it.

This is a huge long shot, but I'm looking for an hour-long (maybe 90 min.) TV movie that ran on HBO in the mid to late 90's. This was about a boy in elementary or middle school who had AIDS. There was a bunch of controversy in the school, some staff didn't want him being a student there. At one point in the film he gets into a fight / needs a bandaid of some sort and it causes even more of a poo poo storm.

This one's been bugging me. There's some movie where a woman tells the old joke abut the woman with no arms and no legs on the beach who's never been screwed, and the guy who comes by and tosses her in the ocean and says "you're screwed now, honey!" I think she tells it at some sort of gathering of people and everyone thinks the joke is hilarious. I think it's a black woman that tells the joke. Probably a late 90's movie, a romantic comedy or something. For some reason I remember this scene distinctly because she says 'screwed' instead of 'hosed' and I'd previously only ever heard the joke as 'hosed'. So maybe the movie is PG-13 because they couldn't say gently caress. Found it: an Ally McBeal episode. Strange, as I have no other recollection of the show. codyclarke fucked around with this message at 07:48 on May 6, 2011 |
