I suddenly remembered some TV movie that would have come on the air...probably early 90's, maybe late 80's. It was about some woman who got arrested because fifteen years ago she robbed a bank because her violent ex took her kids and she needed money. My mom turned it off because she hated the content (IIRC she basically sold her body for aid in regards to the robbery) and I always wondered how it ended.

It aired on one of the original three networks: I think CBS but can't say for certain. Very Lifetime Movie Of The Week sort of film.

It's been in the back of my head repeatedly and it's driving me nuts.

Man, my TV film must be drat obscure, everyone's drawing a blank.

This will be easier. Some Asian film where there's some crazy sex scene which is basically 'sex if sex was also a low key Dragon Ball Z fight' with a male/female couple. I am fairly sure it is not pornography, but I cannot say with 100 percent certainty.

Trying to remember an obscure sci fi movie, it was spoken of in the 2001 book The Horror Movie Survival Guide. All I can remember is 1) It seemed based on environmental issues, 2) It had a scientist somehow get turned into a swarm of unnatural insects/other stuff that might be microscopic, 3) The scientist swarm could swarm people with certain injuries or diseases and heal them, 4) He genetically modified his son to survive in the bad future screwed up enviroment (I think it was a 'ozone's gone, sun is deadly now' thing, and 5) There's a quote from the scientist espousing about himself that begins with "I'm the sneeze."

A movie, the main character is older, like in his 50's or so, the final scene has him and the villain in some precarious position, villain falls to his death, older protagonist struggles but loses his grip, cut to a funeral, but it's a bait and switch, he landed better (on the dead villain?) and hence just broke some bones, but is alive.

Also, I asked this a while back but no one came up with an answer, a likely made for TV movie about a mother who gets arrested for crimes she committed when she was younger, she robbed a bank to get money to get her kids back, I remember it mainly because my mom turned it off because it was too sexual, even for a made for TV movie on one of the main three channels. I think this was late 80's/start of the 90's?

Hannibal Rex posted:

Maybe Bandidas with Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz?

Just guessing, but it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes fighting Moriarty in Switzerland. Not sure if the Robert Downey Jr. version ends like that, but there are plenty of adaptions.

No, this fight happens in a city, they were fighting on something like a window washer's platform and it was happening in then modern times.

Reminds me of searching the various Twilight Zone copy shows looking for an episode that I was sure aired on one of them. Turns out it aired on the actual 80's Twilight Zone show.

(I believe the episode title was "Monsters!")
