Astrochicken posted:This movie I think about every now and then and I saw it a bunch of times when I was very little which is wildly inappropriate in hindsight. there's a haunted house ? a man snorts a lot of cocaine and gives a woman an orgasm with his mind. Uhh There's also a black mammy housemaid or something. No haunted house, although there is freaky stuff. You're describing Modern Problems to a T. Check out this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz7z_Ga2e5Y

Yes, it is very odd when you see something that got stuck in your brain 30 years prior but haven't revisited since. Really shows the fallibility of memory.

If you guys want an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE story about that sensation - one that literally gave me goosebumps - check this out: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2h8bx It's about a guy who can remember a hit song that literally *no one* else can remember and there's *no trace of it online*. It's wild.

regulargonzalez posted:It was more so the fact that after not hearing the song for decades, and not having any formal musical training, he was able to direct musicians to making a practically note-perfect rendition. When they compared the two songs, the real and the reproduction, I was agog at how similar they were This was exactly how I felt. Just the fact that the guy in question could get it 95% percent accurate from a 20+ year old memory is wild.

Yes the joke was that Simmons was a very obvious confirmed bachelor, it was gay bashing and nothing more. Remember that gays had no representation at all beyond campy weirdos like "Serge" in Beverly Hills Cop or "Hollywood" in Mannequin or w/e so the idea of a feminine eccentric gay person was a novelty that could get cheap laughs. One that people still largely hadn't gotten over until sometime after Brokeback Mountain, sadly.

That movie has a few legit good scenes, including the one where the guy gets mind-controlled to jump from the top of the Empire State Building...while fully being aware he doesn't want to do that.

A MIRACLE posted:I remember seeing a how its made clip during film studies class back in college. It was one of the earliest examples of using a camera on a big crane for this shot of a balcony. I think the balcony might have been a set piece and floating in the air or something, not really attached to a building. it seemed to be a mediterranean vibe and it might have been a Fellini movie or was just while we were on the Italian cinema chapter or maybe not at all! I don't remember. does this ring any bells? There's a very famous and technically difficult crane shot in Tenebrae, is this it? There's Italian women and boobs and a murder (but no balcony) in the following sequence, so viewer beware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eDtzdKktTw

Zopotantor posted:beaten, but I just have to post the awesome ending When I first saw this movie on HBO in the early 80s I loved the ending song. Had no idea who the Beatles were or anything, just knew that final song ripped. "All the dreams you've ever had...and not just the nice ones..." is a great tagline for a movie, too.

Isn't there something like that in Strange Days? It's been a long time but I recall there's something like that.

Retro Futurist posted:I’m trying to remember an actor, but I can’t think of his name or anything he’s been in specifically and it’s driving me nuts. He’s a character actor, not a leading man type, and I feel like he usually plays bad guys or at least smarmy types. He’s got one of those kind of tight faces, usually wears glasses and is balding. Kind of reminds me of a skinny John Carroll Lynch. Please help Is there any chance at all you can name the years he was active? Like, you first saw him in 1996 or something like that?

Rupert Buttermilk posted:For me, it's Oz. But wow, I just went back to listen to the Dream On theme song and every note just came back to me, even though I haven't heard that music in, at this point, over 20 years. Crazy. Read your post, had not heard it since the early 90s and decided to see if it was true for me too. It was.

EclecticTastes posted:That's another film I have actually seen and remember quite clearly, and no, these were toys that nobody would ever mistake for being humanoid, and I cannot stress enough, Hollywood had nothing at all to do with it. Though, focusing on the memory has caused a little more to surface, that being that the toys were, I believe, wind-up toys. Also, in case I wasn't clear enough, I'm pretty sure they had big, googly eyes on their blocky plastic frames. But, yeah, this is something that was probably never seen outside a classroom setting.

I think you might be describing Silent Warnings (2003). It's a very inelegant fit but it played pretty widely on the Sci-Fi channel which is why I'm picking it.

I'm sitting here wondering why Big Trouble in Little China isn't getting mentioned so let's correct that. "China is in the heart, Jack. Wherever I go, she'll be with me."

I'm trying to remember this movie, it's a scene that's been playing out in my head and I just can't remember it. Once I get the name it will be so much better for me. It's almost certainly an 80s or very early 90s movie. There's a father and either his wife or son. There has been some financial problem and they're struggling with money (iirc this may have been engineered by the father, but I'm not sure). They invent a stationary bike with a screen on it (so that people feel like they're going somewhere when riding) and are very excited about the prospect. When they go to discuss it with someone, they see that they're already selling that kind of bike. "How's it selling?" someone asks, and the salesman says "Oh, very well." That's it, that's the scene. It's driving me crazy because I can see certain details but have forgotten everyone's faces and the context! Memory, man!

Hughlander posted:Complete AI bullshit. Manhattan project has single mom meet cute a guy that works at a nuclear lab. Son breaks in and steals super plutonium to make a nuclear bomb to win a science fair. Yeah, note to everyone: ChatGPT is not a general AI. It doesn't know what a movie is, or a scene, or anything like that. Unless a large organization had bothered to write a full transcription/novelization of every film ever made it couldn't answer these questions with any kind of accuracy.

This sounds like Target Earth, but it's been literally decades since I watched that. I recall the people being inside and some sound effects from the robots coming from off-screen, but I am not sure if there was booming stuff.

I'm almost certain some of these elements are from The Fortune Cookie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fortune_Cookie) featuring Jack Lemmon and Walther Matthau, although the movie doesn't follow nearly any of the plot beats you mentioned.
