Longshot but could be Revenge of a Kabuki Actor (1963)? Protagonist is a female impersonator, out for revenge, lots of very stylish set design and cinematography.

magic cactus posted:I'm positive this wasn't a 60s/70s set film. One of those typical samurai era flicks. I might have to poke around the lady snowboard sequels and see if something jogs my memory. That scene of the village with the deep purple night sky is very vivid in my mind's eye, but I don't have anything else firm to go on. I might try contacting the owner of the little theater in NYC that showed it a few years back, maybe he kept an archive program or something. I checked their website from the year I remember seeing it (2020), but looks like the web archives don't go back that far. are you positive it wasn't a well loved print? Colors can get.....colory (im not a projectionist idk what to call it)

Also that entire era was awash in weird day-for-night shooting. I’m colorblind so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as if I’m gonna notice purple, but they certainly seemed to be trying some wild poo poo.

That looks amazing. A stupid one: Anyone recall a 70'sish spaceship movie where the ships computer travels around the ceiling on rails? Probably not Dark Star. Possibly English, definitely boring.

That’d make sense because Jones has said he included a lot of little references in the film - like GERTY has HAL design with the single lens, the plants called Ridley and Kathryn (Scott and Bigalow). Does the computer in Flight of the Navigator come from the roof? I can barely remember it except circles of light, maybe on the walls or out of the walls or from the roof.

Guy yelling "POINTLESS... SO POINTLESS!!!" as he's falling to his death Some lesser or unknown YouTube guy used this in his review of the 1988 Felix the Cat movie. Movie (show? :confused) appeared to be low production, not new, probably 70s or earlier.

This is the beginning of the movie, I think. You see a ballerina dancing, close-up of her feet. As she keeps dancing, you notice the tips of her shoes getting red, until she is dripping blood on the dance floor. My guess is something italian from the 80s, but that's just a wild giallo guess.

I've seen a scene like that. I think it's John Wick 2? The only other movies with ballerinas I've seen in recent years were Black Swan and the original 1977 Suspira, so it could be one of those too.

Save The Last Dance has scenes with a ballerina practicing to open the movie (IIRC) and then just past the mid-point she's practicing again in a montage, and we see her feet being blistered and bloody. Been a while since I've seen it, and I can't really recommend it.

Film around 2008 a girlfriend at the time got from Netflix when they mailed you dvds. It was horror/suspense film set on a sailboat. A group of friends drift into a fog that is kind of like a purgatory. Some of the friends disappear and later reappear but act strange. It had a very low budget look about it. Did not come out in theaters, straight to dvd. Its not Triangle. I'll add addition info if i can remember.

I got an easy one. Don't know why I can't remember it but a knight on a horse calls for his squire (possibly calls him sword boy) and a decrepit old man holding a big sword runs up to him. The knight proceeds to put one foot up on the old man's shoulder/chest while grabbing the hilt and pushes/kicks the old man to the ground as a way of drawing his sword from the sheath the old man was holding.

Once I heard someone talking about a movie on the radio. Probably I heard this in the 80s or early 90s. Might have been a movie review, so probably a new movie then. Someone was investigating a murder. And there was a guillotine. Maybe someone had been killed by the guillotine. And the investigator was a weirdo that was walking around eating carrots.

Thanks. I can't really confirm or deny. I am also wondering about about an American comedy crime tv-show, I think from the nineties. I think there were only a few episodes, maybe a miniseries. A film crew travels around and makes some kind of documentary show. The hosts of the show is a man and a redheaded woman. They have a hate/love relationship. Maybe they used to be married? And they solve crimes. The woman would sometimes narrate in voiceover. In the last episode of the (real) show, they thought their (fictional) show was about to get cancelled. The tv-company kept sending men to talk to them, men that were probably going to cancel the show. But the men kept dying in accidents, so the show kept not getting canceled. One man died when a tv fell in his hot tub. Eventually they did get cancelled. One of the episodes where about a pair of female twins, where one was a criminal. One was left-handed and one was right-handed and that was a clue as to who was the criminal. Towards the end of the episode both of the women claims to be the same women, the not criminal one. The redhead says in voiceover "Eventually they figured out who was who, I don't know how." So one twin is arrested. And there is a scene of the other twin waiving to the tv-crew. The reason I've been thinking about the show is, I wonder did they arrest the wrong woman? Was there a joke about the woman waiving with being left-handed/right-handed? So if you know what the show is, great. But if you know if they arrested the wrong woman, even better.
