Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:I can't remember any of the details of the film I'm looking for except at one point on TV there's an an old black and white movie from the 50s playing about a giant radioactive bird swoops in and eats a soldier parachuting out of a plane. The black and white film is The Giant Claw, the movie showing the footage is on the tip of my tongue...

Action Jacktion posted:One of these: No I watched something recently that specifically referenced the giant claw as well, I remember seeing the footage of the pilot getting chomped and thinking, oh look, it’s the giant claw...

Yeah it’s always worth throwing anything out there that’s even kinda close, you can go to any page of this thread and see people going “wow amazing, this is it but it’s NOTHING like what I remembered”

gey muckle mowser posted:The Haunting (1963) maybe? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057129/ That's a solid guess. The uninvited takes place in a remote house and there's a room with a really big window that includes part of the roof

UNRULY_HOUSEGUEST posted:I could be way off, but perhaps I Am Cuba? The architecture could read as Mediterranean and there's a couple of acclaimed building-scaling shots. This is what I was thinking too

Antifa Turkeesian posted:About 10-15 years ago, someone in either the genchat thread or the horror thread here in CineD posted a series of short faux documentary films supposedly from 1900-1980 about various supernatural or sci-fi events. They were all on youtube and very similar to Peter Delpeut’s The Forbidden Quest in being stitched together from what seemed to be archival footage. Each one was from a different period and used different film and camera techniques consistent with the period the story was from. They were short, probably 10-20 minutes. The ones I remember had the following plots: Some of these sound like Forbidden Files/Documents Interdits.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:This is definitely them. Thank you! I can only find a few clips, but they are definitely the series I was thinking of. The only one I can't find is the one about the German man replaced by a duplicate, which may have been a special episode or a dvd exclusive or something. They rule. Your memory is a bit off on some of them so they’ll even still have some surprises for you The last one you’re looking for is The Examination, it’s not technically part of Documents Interdit but it’s directed by the same guy. Or at least it didn’t air with the others and isn’t usually included with them Edit: it looks like Jean Teddy-Phillipe has them all up for rent on his Vimeo account. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/theforbiddenfiles/ DeimosRising fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 11, 2021 |

A MIRACLE posted:yeah, its definitely Keaton-esque. but more of a late 40s / early 50s vibe, I'm almost positive it wasn't a silent film. I did some googling and no luck. I either saw it on like TCM or maybe in film studies There are a lot of scenes like this, it’s so prevalent that Jackie Chan parodies the office savant sequence in Police Story, for example

Opopanax posted:Apologies as I’m sure there’s a better thread for this, but I also know someone will have it almost immediately here. Got this message from a friend this morning AFAIK smg just posted in the thread, but the well known long form analysis of the transformers movies was written by terry van feleday. someone just posted a link to it recently Dabir posted:I noticed the links were down last month and went looking to see if a copy had been preserved by the wayback machine. No luck there, but it was archived on PDF Archive. I didn't even realise this thread was still live, or I'd have posted it here.

Mr Scumbag posted:I think you just nailed it. It was a TV show, my bad for bringing it here. I think I was so vague about it cause I half-watched it while drinking. Mystery solved, thanks. tv shows end up being the answer here pretty frequently, i don't think anyone minds. the whole premise of the thread sort of precludes being sure it was a movie and not something else

magic cactus posted:100% Japanese. Are you sure you're not confusing elements of Lady Snowblood and its sequel with Female Prisoner Scorpion? Same lead and both are revenge stories, but Female Prisoner is set in the 60s/70s and has extremely stylized lighting and sets.
