Hey mods, this thread needs to be pinned, and a post needs to be added to the end of the old thread linking to this one. I wasn't even aware this was here. Also, since it's a new thread, I'll repost the most enduring mystery from the last thread. First requested a decade ago by forums user ladron, it has yet to be found. ladron posted:The scene I remember is some cop, a Brian Dennehey type, pulls over a couple driving a classic car. The guy driving says he did all the work on it himself. Eventually, the cop makes the guy get some grease from the car (saying "I thought you kept this car cherry, boy?") and uses it to rape the girlfriend. During, he tells the guy he can turn around, and if the gun is not pointed at him, they can go, but if it is, he will kill them both. The guy doesn't turn around (the gun is not pointed at him).

doomrider7 posted:This was YEARS ago like back in the 90's when I saw it(movie might've been from the 80's most likely), but I remember this old movie about a cop/US Marshal/lawman what have you where he has a Twilight Zone moment where he gets sent back in time to the old west and fights some supernatural outlaws. Some things I remember were that the Outlaws can only be killed by the same gun or bullet that killed them the first time over, the main bad guy was this masked outlaw guy who I think gets killed by taking a sheriff star to the head like it was a shuriken, and that the movie cover had a skeleton dressed in cowboy attire.

DeadMansSuspenders posted:First let me just say that I read the previous iteration of this thread and really enjoyed it. Trying to guess along with some of the vaguest of Clues is very fun. Anyway, I'm apparently awful at searching for movies. Because I've got one of my own. I hope that it should be pretty easy to find based on the details that (I think) I remember accurately.

your evil twin posted:When I was a kid, I saw a short animated film on British TV. Was back in the early 90s, wouldn't surprise me if the film was from the 80s. It was less than an hour, maybe only half hour or 45 minutes. The film didn't have lots of dialogue, the whole story was narrated by a male voice. Total shot in the dark: The Adventures of Don Coyote and Sancho Panda, episode 12 ("Shrink, Shrank, Shrunk"). e: I just skimmed it and it barely resembles your description so uh yeah, no Origami Dali fucked around with this message at 12:31 on May 23, 2020 |

It was like a white room kind of grotesque sculpture garden and the guy is like a money lender or gangster the government kind of lets do his thing because occasionally they need him. It isn't immediately appraent the statues are people, but then he explains it and it like cuts to one of them crying but they're paralyzed. You sure he's a gangster and not the proprietor of a wax museum?

Licensing out his catalog to services like Tubi and forming his own streaming service probably help keep Full Moon afloat. That, and producing softcore porn on the side.

I've noticed over the past few years that google has gotten way worse with search results for these kinds of inquiries. Once upon a time, that would have probably worked. Now, it just hones in on one or two words, like 'alien' or 'movie', and spews out a ton of irrelevant bullshit.

Here's a weird one. I was rewatching Chinese Super Ninjas (aka Five Element Ninjas) for the first time in a loooong time and recognized a piece of music. A lot of these old Shaw productions used library music, so this probably is too, but I swear this particular piece of music was used in another movie because it's really familiar to me and I can't quite place it. This should play at the right time (61m mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCK-SwZxs-I&t=3660s

Detective Thompson posted:An undercover cop/FBI agent/something like that goes on a boat to talk with the bad guys he's trying to investigate. They have a guy tied up because they found he's undercover, and they tell the agent that just came on the boat to shoot him to prove he's not a cop. He takes the gun and pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. They trust him and say they'll take care of the tied up guy themselves. They all get busted and when the cop unties the other one, the one being held captive asks the other how he knew the gun wasn't loaded, and he tells him he could tell by the weight of the gun. I feel like the cop was played by someone like Eastwood, if not Eastwood himself, but I can't remember enough about the movie to discern it from other cop movies. I'm pretty sure this scene was the beginning of the movie, meant to establish the main character's cop prowess, and I don't remember if the guys on the boat were relevant to the rest of the movie or if they were just for that scene.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:I’ve been reading this thread off and on for a while, and I just realized I actually have something you might be able to help with. The version of Alice in Wonderland that pops up in this thread sometimes is the 1985 movie, mainly because they remember being scared shitless by the Jabberwocky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnRAjBVjiDw The scene you're taking about is around 27mins, but this is something that happens in a bunch of adaptations.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:I don’t think that’s the one. In the version I’m looking for, the rocks they threw at Alice were wonderfully colorful. Also, I am almost certain Sammy Davis Jr. did not show up to do any pre-Hamilton rapping in mine, and is that Telly Savalas dressed as a cat and crooning at Alice? What in the world? It's prob the 1972 version with Dudley Moore and Peter Sellers, then. Key scene is at 31:15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O04mMhPtFdU

John Wayne's pro military Vietnam movie The Green Berets was his response to the anti war sentiment going on at the time. I never heard it being in response to another movie he saw, though I think Oliver Stone has called his movie Platoon the anti-Green Berets.

CzarChasm posted:Saw a video of this on FB for about 5 minutes. It deals with a young woman who is "different" in some way. Stronger than normal, very smart, and she is being recruited into the space program in the 60s to act as "companionship" for the male astronauts. Because she's weird she's picked on and gets into fights and that causes her to be kicked out of the program. Also she was going to be kicked out due to medical reason, but didn't get to see what that was. Looks like it was made in the last 5-10 years. Predestination

DOOMocrat posted:I'm trying to remember a Spanish language movie (Or was it French? I think it's set in France) about a Mexico City exchange student studying abroad in Europe who begins to suffer a mental breakdown. The cinemetography and set design is exceptionally colorful, and it came out in the mid 2000's I believe. That sounds like L'Auberge Espagnole (The Spanish Apartment), but in that the character is from France, not Mexico, and it's set in Barcelona.

sigher posted:Mid 2000s film I believe, I remember the movie taking place at night. I think one was a taxi driver and the passenger was holding him hostage with a gun and he had a briefcase with something important in it. I remember most of the film being them driving around aimlessly having conversation until the middle or end of the film when the passenger exists the vehicle or something to go somewhere and I think the Taxi driver takes it upon himself to chase the passenger down and confront him. Sounds like Collateral.

Jabberlock posted:A long time ago I saw a movie on TV about I believe a fictional second eruption of Mt. St. Helens. It seemed cheap so it was probably a TV movie. Basically the plot was a family trying to escape the area during the eruption. I remember a scene where a grandma sacrifices herself to go into an acidic lake to pull a boat to shore for the rest of the family. Also the climactic final scene was them in a car escaping the eruption chasing them by driving into a collapsed tunnel or something, then in the wrecked car one of the characters having to switch on an emergency transmitter radio they had. Dante's Peak. Def not a cheap TV movie.

I did a deep dive looking for this knight minimech movie and came up pretty empty. I would suggest it might be an episode of a more obscure anthology show or a TV movie. Maybe a regional production. But in my search I came across some lower budget power rangers looking poo poo from the late 90s with a wild rear end time travel plot called Backtime, so I guess I gotta find a copy of that now.
