The Definitive "Help Me Figure Out The Name Of A Movie I Can't Remember" Thread - Page 12

You got my attention.

This makes me think of a movie where the water was poisned and the family in the movie kept getting sick(er). Had something to do with a family living on a farm. Remember it being kind of creepy because, I think, the water was poisoned by a "force" or something, because I remember it having more of a horror feel to it, then a social/political feel. I think one of the kids is all about the "evil" water and starts giving it to family members, who all start getting sick and dying. I distinctly remember a farm.

Not sure if this is the same movie, or if what I am describing even happens in the movie, but I remember seeing it when I was very young and have no idea what it is.

There may have been insects or worms involved at some point?

Any ideas?

Maaaaaaaybe THE CURSE (loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space"), though I haven't seen it in years so I don't know about those specifics. It's the same basic premise.

That's my guess too. Nasty little movie.

P.S. How many times has The Quest come up on this thread? It's bizarre.

I distinctly remember a film starring a YOUNG Anthony Hopkins plotting to kill his wife during a flight to see her. The entire film is him going through scenarios in his head with an imaginary lawyer conceiving of all the possible things that could go wrong with each plan. By the end of the film the twist (spoiler) is that his wife kills him and rolls him up in a rug; using the plan he'd come up with first and abandoned, because of all the holes he'd thought up.

Okay, guys I netflixed your replies... here's a follow up:

Nope, wasn't "The Forest". The fucked up hillbilly lady is really messed up in the one I remember. All dirty and covered in like a sort of dirty tarp and camouflaged. Anyway, I'm still glad I watched "The Forest" pretty odd pile of shit, which is a genre I always tend to enjoy.

YES! It was definitely The Boogeyman and guess what? Both the first and second one are on the same disc. That's called a bonus where I come from. Thank you guys for that one. Hopefully some of those other ones I put up will be solved one day.

Hmmm....The Dirty Tarp and Camouflage now has me thinking it then might be The Final Terror. It also has a giant spiked log swinging down in the forest, and Joey Pantoliano.

Guilty Conscience

You're right! That's the movie. Netflix doesn't have it but some gracious soul put the whole thing on youtube. Awesome job.

Gosh dang it. Thank you.

Hit woman movie from around the late 90's, direct to video, hot skinny model with long black hair, two silenced guns on the cover (I think). In the movie she does some weird topless sex with herself bed humping thing. No stars, could've been dubbed. Help?

I feel stupid even suggesting this, but it's not La Femme Nikita is it?

Fortunately no, but that movie is greatness though. The movie I'm trying to remember was crap. I remember she has some shootout on an escalator or something (not as good as the one in Carlito's Way or anything though).

It's not the "I wish this were a Tomb Raider ripoff B-action flick instead of a softcore soap opera" BOUNTY HUNTRESS (franchise), is it? Or Anna Nicole Smith's TO THE LIMIT?

Ha! I think this is it. I can't seem to find a trailer for this, but the plot synopsis sounds exactly like what I remember and I am pretty sure Wil Wheaton was in it, although I probably couldn't have told you that before I saw this link, but I saw a picture from it and it totally fits what I remember.

Nice!

EDIT:

Found the trailer, this is definitely it.

I just want to thank the nice people from this thread for helping me figure out the name of the movie I asked about before.


Now if you do not mind, I'd like help with two more queries:

1) What is the name of the song or music that is from the opening War On Terror sequence of "Harsh Times" with Christian Bale?
2) What is the name of the song that plays over the menu of the Series 2 DVD of the BBC America show Skins? Is that Rufus Wainwright singing?

That was going to be my suggestion too, except that Anna Nicole Smith wasn't especially skinny.

Okay. Here I go again... I posted about this like a year ago but here's hoping someone can help me out.

The movie I'm looking for is European. It's either a giallo or a French thriller. It starts off with a sexy woman being viciously raped in a parking lot. She blacks out and, when she comes to, she has actually been taken in by her rapist - a very attractive blond dude. She believes he is her rescuer or something...

But he's actually a serial rapist who later rapes another woman in a park.

I missed the beginning and fell asleep before the end. Plus, it was dubbed into Spanish.

Does any of this ring a bell for anyone?

It was an interesting thriller, sure, but this has just been driving me crazy. I need to see the rest of this flick. I thought I knew my giallos.

Is "starts out" like that? Honestly asking: Is she established as a sexy woman and then she's pursued or whatever, or does the film open on a rape scene in which you find the victim sexy...?

I don't know if it's the very first scene in the movie... (I missed the very beginning) But this happens pretty early on, I'm sure, because the plot of the movie concerns this woman's relationship with her rapist.

I said "sexy woman." That was too vague. I should have said hot blond.

The woman he later rapes in the park is a hot brunette in a red blouse with dark hair. She's sexy too. Looks Latin. Probably a Spanish actress.

Oh come on! Don't look at me like that. Yeah I didn't get a boner during Irreversible either, but how would I describe Monica Bellucci if I didn't know her name?

Anyway... Any of this ringing a bell?

That sounds peripherally similar to a sequence in Beyond the Darkness

This is just stuck in my head, probably from a pretty big film but I just can't place it. What's the movie where some random donkey breaks the fourth wall? Just turns and looks at the camera on purpose for a gag.

Also, what's the shitty cop movie from the 80s-early 90s that ends with the chief saying something like "Well what are you still doing here? Go out and arrest somebody!" And the fake-gravel-voiced cop replies "Why the hell not."

No, but thanks for trying though. Like Humanoid suggested also she was skinny. Model looking eurotrash, small tits, tall, with long dark hair. At least one silenced Berreta I think. I rented it at Blockbuster way back in the mid 90's.

It wasn't an Andy Sidaris joint, was it? When I think Blockbuster and mid 90's women assassins, that's what springs to my mind. Course, Andy wouldn't allow small breasted women in his flicks. Nevermind.

However, mid 90s, video covers, and small breasts makes me think of pre-boob-job Maria Ford. But she was usually a blonde. Dead end again. Sorry.

This one will be blindingly obvious to someone but it's been three days and I can't put my finger on it: It's a near-future sci-fi movie where instead of money, cards or keys everyone has an all-purpose information stick that looks like a cigarette.

This one has been driving me nuts for years.

It's an animated movie from the 80's. Probably direct to video. It was one of my favorites when I was like 4 or 5 (mostly because it scared the crap out of my younger sister. I'd put it in and make her watch it. Then she'd cry and I'd laugh in her big dumb face!)

It was a pretty weird toon (and not particularly great). There were like orange people and blue people that lived in this town and there was a witch of sorts (the witch is the only character that looked "normal") and at the end the people riot (on halloween night, if my memory is correct) the town to get the witch until one orange dude is like "Hey, man. This shit ain't cool. Let's all be friends" And the evil witch and the crazed orange and blue townsfolk live happily ever after.

I have no idea how old the actual movie is. The last time I saw it was probably in '89. So '79-'89 I'd say.

I know it's pretty vague. But I've been looking for this movie forever. I want to find it so I can find a copy to give my sister as a gag gift.

Witches Night Out? DO the kids get transformed into monsters?

I've been waiting for a DVD for years. I remember watching it on TV when I was a kid.



More info HERE.

What's that movie where the high school kids fly the space shuttle on accident?

Space Camp?

SpaceCamp.

Around 1978 I turned on PBS in anticipation of Sesame Street but instead was greeted with two well-dressed (for their era, maybe 1780-1899) men pacing off distance before a pistol duel. They turn around, fire, and one receives a clean, red dot in the center of his forehead, causing him to slump to the ground, dead. The camera pulls back while the credits roll, while The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" plays on the soundtrack.

I wish I had more info that that, but the final few minutes that I did see scarred my young mind and I've been on a quest to find this film's title for the last 30 years.

Any ideas?
TYVMIA.

Bingo! That's it! Awesome, man, Can't thank you enough. Now to track me down a VHS copy somewhere!

PS. Nice Avatar. I still have the "My Pet Monster" stuffed 'doll' (I hate calling it that) in my office. Cuffs and everything.

Years ago, there was a Tv Show over here that was sort of a ripoff of MST3K (it was two guys watching bad movie and making comments, using flash foward during boring bits and so on), and they once showed some awful sword and sorcery flick (the title had something to do with elves or trolls); I only remember the flick because it had an scene were a barbarian lightly punches a wooden pole, and the pole GETS CUT NEATLY IN TWO (revealing that it had been obviously been sawed and glued previously).
I still cant rmember the name of that crapfest, but the scene is engraved in my mind for how awful and badly done it was.

Sorry for replying so late. Can't say if it's the movie or not. I should watch the ending to see if it is. But thank you very much for the research.

Looking for a werewolf movie, made in I'm guessing the 60's or 70's. The only part I remember is that the cursed man has a wife and a kid, and every time he feels the transformation coming on he has them lock him up in this...I kind of remember it being like a stone shed, or maybe part of a castle? I feel like they don't know he's a werewolf and don't know why he has them do this occasionally. At one point there's some danger of him getting out through the shabby wooden door, I think because the kid is opening it...? I'll be really impressed if anyone can make sense out of how vague this is; I'm probably getting some of these scant details wrong. Just something I saw on tv as a kid, and that may have been the only scene I actually watched.

The Boy Who Cried Werewolf fits a few of those descriptions. It was made in the 70s, and features a scene like the one you mentioned with the door. However, that's the only time, I believe, the werewolf is locked up (though he does insist upon it). It's in a storage space beneath his cabin.

Like I said, it meets some of your descriptions. This is the closest thing I could think of, and I've seen more than a fair share of werewolf movies. What do you think?

Is that with Oliver Reed? If so, that's probably it.




P.S. Any ideas on this yet?:

Reed was in Curse of the Werewolf, which if memory serves had a gothic vibe with a castle in it maybe. But I don't think that one fits the description. Could be wrong though.


This one fascinated me when I read it, so I set about trying to figure it out. Not a lot to go on, so it's amazingly slow going. This really seems like one that someone is just gonna have to know/remember.

That's it! Wow, I had that terribly misremembered; I'm impressed you still managed to recognize it. Thanks very much!

I've never actually seen this film, but I remember reading about it years ago and I want to track it down. So unfortunately I don't have many details. It's something about people stuck on an island with these little killer creatures that look sort of like the Zuni doll from trilogy of terror, same size and everything, except they're red. At least, I think. I remember it as a color film but I could be wrong. But I think it was from the 60s or early 70s. And I could swear I saw some picture or short clip from the movie that showed some of these things hanging out in a tree. Bizarre, I know, and I don't even know how I learned about this movie originally, just stumbled upon it during countless hours spent reading about obscure horror movies. So, is this ringing a bell for anyone?

That's totally Attack of the Beast Creatures

I want to see this immediately.

Haha yes, no doubt. Thank you!

Ditto!

I remeber this movie from back in the late 80s/90s. It was a husband
and wife kidnapped by a couple of Mexicans it was on HBO or Cinemax,
the female lead character was a blonde named Chris/Kris. The scene I
remember most is her seducing one of the Mexicans in the lake and she
had a nail file in a plank of wood to cut him and I remember the
Mexican saying "I can feel you Chris/Kris inside of me". I hope
someone has heard of it.

I'm about 50% sure this is actually an early-90s TV show, but part of me thinks it was a movie, so here goes:

So in this movie/miniseries/whateverthehellitwas, people figured out a fountain of youth. And it worked for most people. Those it didn't work for, they became these extremely strong cavemen-like people. I think they were called Recessives or something. Anyway, those strong-cavemen like people either trashed society, or the war to try and kill them trashed society.

One of the things I remember was that there was one couple in the movie/miniseries/whateverthehellitwas in which the woman was young and hot, while the man was old and feeble. See, they are both the same age, but the man never took the fountain of youth serum thing. I distinctly recall his old man saying "if I had taken that (garbled in memory), would I have become one of those things out there?"

There's also some genetic thing where every person in the society has to have a crystal implanted in them, which would change color and stay one color. people with the same color were allowed to date/have kids while others were not, to avoid some sort of Genetic Thing That I Can't Remember.

Also, there was some guy in it that was the product of a StrongCavemanGuy raping a normal woman, so he's half-StrongCavemanGuy. This guy, I distinctly remember, had a black crystal.

Hopefully someone can help me with this, its been floating around in my brain for a while now.

It was a tv movie/series pilot - Island City

Starring Batman!!

Seeing Conroy act in other things is just so jarring. I simply cannot separate his voice from Batman.

This is a "help me figure out the name of this actor" post:



Yes, I'm editing something and I don't know the actor's name. CORPORATE VIDEO, FOR THE LOSS.
