[Fernando Rocker]

I can't remember the name of this movie.

OK... here are the details I remember:

- First of all, it's an animated movie, 2D (not CGI).

- It's probably a foreign movie.

- The setting of the movie is something like in Baghdad or Persia.

- At the end or climax of the movie, the characters are riding some sort of rollercoaster in a dark place, and if I recall correctly, there is a green character (or some kind of a freak character) trying to get some sort of valuable object (a diamond or something like that).

That's all I can remember. I hope you guys can help me!

 

[Rei_Toei]

I've got one too. I'm sure the part of GAF into b-rate 80's horror knows it.

What I remember of this movie is that it is about some dude sent to a village to investigate what's going on in there - or something. It seems that a lot of the villagers are going crazy or are crazy. A couple of scenes I remember:

- Protagonist finding a corpse in an hotel, with some old dude also hanging around remarking it looked like he (the corpse) 'tried to swallow a football'
- Crazy receptionist lady at hotel
- Truck chasing protagonist (when playing RE5 I was reminded of this)
- Something about a lab (underground?) nearby and the heroes donning protective suits, looking like astronauts, going in.

Night of the Comet?

Duck Tales: The Movie?

Nah... it wasn't a very commercial movie. I'm pretty sure it was a foreign movie. Plus, it didn't have anthropomorphic animals in it.

The characters were human.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Hmm, any guesses as to when it was made?

Probably in the 90's.

 

[MC Safety]

I've seen this movie before, but have no clue as to its title.

It was made in the 1950s or perhaps the 1960s. It was a movie about Hollywood monsters (Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein) and was done wholly with puppets. I want to say it was shot in black and white, too. Other than that, my memory fails me ...

Any Internet sleuths want to take a swing at this?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like Aladdin...the genie is blue-ish green.

Mad Monster Party?

Nah... it's not Aladdin, but the setting is kinda the same.

But again, the movie was not made by Disney. It was a foreign animation movie.

 

[Fernando Rocker]

Oh my God... I just found the name of the film! I Googled this sentence: "animation film foreign rollercoaster at the end Baghdad"

The name of the film is The Thief and the Cobbler.

I was wrong... it wasn't a foreign movie. In fact, it's a Richard Williams film.

Looking for the name of a toy. It was like an office building and you stuff these little foam dudes into the windows or the top or something. You keep stuffing them in till the building explodes. It might be some sort of game; or just a toy. I don't remember. I just remember that it was an unfulfilled Christmas wish one year.

Speaking of Christmas, I'm also looking for the name of a Christmas special that aired on Nickelodeon during the 90's I think. I know it was around the time that Eureka's Castle was on the air, as I remember the Eureka's Castle Christmas special came on right after it one time.

In the Christmas special, the thing I remember most is that Louis Armstrong is singing 'What a Wonderful World'. The special is animated, and I think this part with the song is in black/white or at least heavily stylized. It was sort of artistic I guess.

Now, I can't remember if this was a cartoon short only, or part of a larger story driven animated special. Does this sound even familiar to anyone? It was DEFINITELY Christmas related (possibly having to do with toys) and it only played around Christmas time.

Lets see if a Gaffer can get this.

All I can remember :

A movie
A scene where a young girl, possibly the killer, is walking up some stairs of a house with what looks like a pizza cutter and I think she's rolling the cutter up along the banister of the stars as she walks up them.
Possibly early 80's

This has been bugging me for years, as I walked into the room whilst my parents were watching it and that scene kind of scared me and I ran back to bed.

It wouldn't be Don't Go To Sleep would it? That sounds really familiar, the pizza cutter thing.

Edit: The whole thing appears to be up on Youtube if you want to watch it. I remember watching this as a little kid and being frightened out of my mind. That pizza cutter thing is bringing it all back.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Ok ... mission impossible here folks

A song is stuck in my head .... it is a dance song from the 90's (or early 2000's ... probably 90's) with a high pitched girl that singed something along the lines of these misheard lyrics :


blah bla blah blah blaaah = some lyrics that i don't even remember how they sound like

The problem is the word misheard .... "sell" could be anything from "steal" to "kiss" ... and that is just the tip of the iceberg of the impossibility of googling the lyrics

it is so insanely hard that i will probbaly give a drawing to anyone who gets it by some kinda of crazy miracle

I'll watch the lot to find that scene! Could be right! Cheers man.

Night of the Comet?

Nope, it's not NotC, have seen that one. It's definitely darker/messier. I think it might be Contamination but I'm not sure since the reviews/wikipedia article do not mention any of the things I remember.

I was going to ask about these two shows but while looking them up I figured it out-- thought I'd post them though as they were wonderfully strange to me as a kid-

Super Gran

Eerie, Indiana (population 16,661)

 

[Nemesis_]

I don't think I will get any responses at all because I can't properly put my voice into words, but I heard a song out at a club and I am not sure which one it was. It could've been pretty old but it was somewhat catchy.

There was a constant beat similar to the beginning background noise of this song but at a more solid sound. Between this noise was a bit of a rap chorus and then a guy making a noise like HOAH HOAAHHHHHH - then HOAH HOAH HOAHHHHH.

It's so hard to find out what this song was and I hope someone could help me.

 

[Nyx]

I don't remember the name of an old cartoon about a shark with a tophat, and his catfish buddy.

I remember it being hilarious, but I never found out what it's called again, any ideas ?

The weird thing is I'm trying a Hulu Plus trial subscription and there's another series called "Eerie, Indiana: The other dimension" that seems to be an off-shoot of the original. Haven't watched any yet, but it probably pales in comparison :-D

There has been an old cartoon that has been bugging me forever. It was about a school/or an arena and the people are all radio active, or zombies or something and they do a bunch of different extreme sports. Any clue on the name?

Wow, that is it! Thanks. Going to see if I can find the series and see if it is as good as I remember or if it's all nostalgia. I'm thinking the latter.

Ah, it could very well be Contamination. I don't recall a lab scene, but there is a part with astronauts exploring a cave on Mars.

If it's not Moe and Joe, it could be a Heckle and Jeckle short, even though they are magpies. Or maybe you are remembering bits of Dumbo?

Wow. That may well be it.

Excellent sleuthing. And thanks!

You're welcome, but no internet sleuthing is ever involved in my answers.

Hehe I just typed into google Mutant Zombies Sports and that came up.

Not really sure why mutant never came to mind.... I now look dumb, but thank you very much.

 

[bengraven]

This is kind of OT, but does anyone else remember the kid's show Pinwheel?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLCg1kb1sA0

Anyone know how I can get some of those old shows? I was even looking for bootleg VHSs on ebay once, in desperation and couldn't find them there. My wife is almost a decade younger than me and the opening credits creep her the fuck out. I want my kid to get to see it...and I want her to be creeped out further.

No, I think I misremembered. I think it was School Zombie Sports.

 

[Juanadams]

Alright I've had this movie in my head for a long time(since my early childhood) and I have never been able to find the movie since then, hopefully you guys can help.

This is what I can remember..

1) this is a horror movie, not sure when it was made but I know its in color and I would guess post 1980, but im not sure.

2) it takes place in a house in the woods, from what I can remember the house is quite modern looking.

3) it involves wolves/dogs of some sort chasing people outside or inside or around the house.

4) The big climax shocker ending thing involves a woman and a big tree.

anyone have any ideas?

It was definitely newer than that. It was a little bit more electronic sounding, almost indian like. =/

I don't remember any wolvves or dogs, but 4 is probably The Guardian (1990).

Awesome! thats it!

Thanks so much, just looked up the trailer, it has the wolves and everything.

Is this movie any good?

 

[Count Dookkake]

It's a'ight. The villain is unusual and it has a couple neat kills IIRC.

This was the song I was after, guys. I can't believe how different it sounded when I was drunk. =P

 

[Bleepey]

I am in the club and they have a montage of recent music videos from the last few years. There's this music video where there is this trendy Robin Thicke looking motherfucker posing and shit, another white guy with dreadlocks and soem tool in a purple shity if i recall correctly. The video is in a hair salon. Anyone know what the song is called.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

I have one. A cartoon.

All I can remember is the end (somewhat). It takes place in someplace like monument canyon, where there are all these rock towers (with plateaus). And there is this character jumping from point to point on them.

There might of been a chase? Or a lot of the towers falling? It's all a bit hazy.

Argh
Was it a movie or a TV series? Was the character human or an animal?

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

It was a tv show. I think the cartoon was a one off, like a merry melodies short. I can't remember if the main character was a human on a horse or if it was an animal.

It could've been an episode of Road Runner maybe? Or Speedy Gonzalez?

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

See, that is the ting that bugs me. Is that it wasn't one of the big character cartoons. I'm sure I'll see it one day, till then, I'll keep looking.

I'm trying to remember the name of a certain transformers episode.
I already searched episode descriptions, but wasn't able to find it.

It was a episode from the 80s i believe, there where some sort of disease who lead to pink shining, it could get transformers and humans and was spread by touching each other. This big airbus-like transformer also played a big role, i believe.

Does anyone remember this please ?
