Cross posting from the silly questions thread.

Someone already said that sounded like Hell in the Pacific but I seem to remember more than one soldier on each side. Were there any other movies with this plot?

Here´s something that i once heard:
"This is all like a french movie. In which everyone wears motorcycle helmets. And everything is tinted blue."
Were they talking about Diva?

2010s/2020s horror movie starts with a man killing a woman. cuts to another woman, an art dealer (with a scene focused on a statue of the fates that got stolen), getting ready to go on a weekend retreat to the guy's cabin (i feel like he keeps calling it that even though it's a nice house). she's kind of pointedly ignoring red flags on the way (including, i believe, an actual shot of a red flag waving). gets there, starts seeing a blonde ghost who she thinks is a woman trying to break in. guy has the stolen statue but claims it's a reproduction. i think that's enough to go on, but i do remember more that I'd feel obligated to put in spoiler tags which I'm too lazy to do from my phone.

iirc, movie actually has three labeled acts with scene transitions, and definitely uses the fates throughout. younger director, p sure it was an indie flick. go.

I think this was a psychological or horror movie from the 90s, and I'm certain I've seen someone link the clip on the forums before I've defintiely seen a youtube clip of it. The scene in question is where the creepy super pale 'villain?' Is at a social event with the main character and to prove how strange and/or mystical he is tells the main character to call his own house on the phone. When he does, the creepy guy is on the other end at the same time he is still standing next to him and they have a brief conversation while the in-person creep stands there and smiles.

The 'creepy' guy's actor is definitely one that has popped up in some horror movies or show episodes (the X Files comes to mind), very soft spoken and just kind of has this unblinking stare which is perfect for those roles. Been trying to recall something else he has been in to backtrack a name from there, but failing so far.

Nailed it, that's been bugging me all day. I aaalmost remembered the clip being called 'mystery man' but kepy going with stranger and creeper. Thanks much.

No, that's not it. The tape is a non-negotiable part of this memory, it was definitely tape put on the eyes. And the shot of the spectators was about enjoying watching it. I think that's why it stuck with me, the technical detail of the tape and the idea of people enjoying watching someone die gave child me an incredibly strong sense that this was something I Shouldn't Be Watching.

Theatrically released film from the second half of the ‘90s, genre might have been crime or thriller. There’s a car explosion, but the guy inside the car expands with the explosion, or maybe his expansion causes the explosion. His expansion is like the guy towards the end of Big Trouble in Little China, but it wasn’t presented in a comedic way, from what I remember of the half-minute I saw from sticking my head in while theater-hopping as a kid.

The main characters somehow get a look into the brain/mind of another character and it's an insane acid trip, explaining why said character behaves the way they do.

I feel like it's possibly animated, maybe there's a scene like this in South Park with Mel Gibson or Saddam Hussein.

movie request from my wife who swears it isnt harold and maude but cannot really pin down anything better

seen on late night german television somewhere in the mid-90s to early 2000s at latest, but was definitely post reunification - and shes pretty sure the setting of the movie was contemporary, hence ruling out h&m

features a younger guy somewhere around his twenties getting into a fairly racy or
even explicit relationship with a woman two or three decades his senior.
she's unclear how they come to spend time together, and she has an impression of an exotic, maybe south american maybe french influence but she doesnt know if thats really part of it or if shes mixing up other stuff she watched on late night german television as a teen

my wife is astonished by the sheer number of guesses that fit very well but of the movies so far mentioned none of them are it ! thematically most of them are there and the timeframe is generally right (excepting class and Angst essen Seele auf) but also most of them have bits that she DEFINITELY doesnt remember (the piano teacher, spank the monkey) and a couple that just dont seem familiar at all (igby goes down, the mother)

but more than anything she's just kinda like... drat, it was kinda in the zeitgeist for a while huh

Hmmmm.... I don't think that's it. I feel like the poster had four ladies on it, wearing that kinda brownish corduroy material.


Seriously - I know how long of a shot this is. I can only vaguely remember certain details about it.
