No, don't be so stupid, that scene traumatized me when I was younger cause I got some school troubles during two years, I'm just curious and is one of those things I want to know.
Evildoers always think the worst of others. Of course If I want to masturbate with there's no other than yours, don't worry.
Help anyone? mentally handicapped xelios apart.

Edit: Oh new page then I quote myself:

I need help to find a movie:
I only can remember one scene and I don't know if that movie was american or european.
The scene was in a bathroom school where some boys were bothering/bullying another one and they put a firecracker inside this boy ass. I remember that movie was slightly hard and seemed a bit old but it was on color.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm trying to find a movie that shocked me when I was younger.

I only saw the ending and it seems like there was a huge party in a house and there is drugged and hungover teenagers sleeping in every room.

There's 3 or 4 teens on the couch, and one of them wakes up and see that everyone is nearly in a coma so he takes advantage of the moment and has sex with the girl next to him while she's unconscious. He puts her ankles on his shoulders and tell her "Shh, stay asleep, it's only me, stay asleep."

As I remembered it, it looked like a teen movie and I was shocked by the scene. I was 13-14 and it seemed so wrong to me I haven't forgotten it.

Ok, last resort.

80's movie, practiucally unheard of, and had spooky aliens. But they contacted a kid through his toys, exactly like in Poltergeist. In fact, most of the movie was a Poltergeist/ET ripoff mashup.

The kicker, there was some kind of talking sandwich/ hamburger in it.

It was not a comedy, and like I said, not one of the obvious ones like Spaced Invaders or Mac and Me.

Whenever I hear 80s movie and hamburger the only thing I can think of is Better Off Dead. That scene was so amazing to me as a kid.

I know its not much to go on, but that is it. I think the kid's dad was dead, and the aliens were communicating with him in his dads voice, through his toy telephone.

I saw this around junior high, so around between 1983 and 1986. I remember almost walking out, because the number of things thay had ripped off from other movies was incredible.

Talking hamburger/sandwich was NOT a joke, either.

I've skimmed lists of every 80's movie, every alien movie, haven't found it yet. It was just a generic cashin but man, it is bugging me now.

I'm also looking for a movie title, and I don't remember much, except the ending.

The movie is about some guys who work in a video store (I guess). I think it is not a serious movie, more like a comedy. In the end, the police breaks into the video store and wrongly kill these guys, thinking they kidnapped a girl or something. Then, the girl screams in despair.

Anyone knows this movie?

This one is probably easy to find out, but I can't remember the name and there's like a million 9/11 specials.

A couple of years ago History Channel ran a 2 hour long special that was nothing but video from people around New York filming the events of the WTC attack. The result was something like a really intense, depressing found footage movie. It was a great special and probably the best documentation about the attack, but I can't remember the name. I figure they'll probably be replaying it again this year, and I'd like to catch it again. Anyone remember it?

It was a horror movie. Probably from the 80's... the monster was a yellow robot and I remember that the robot killed someone with a basketball ball (the head exploded).

Oh I remember that one, memories!

So I have a really really difficult one that I've searched for everywhere, and asked in many forums, maybe here Ill get lucky!

So I'm from Colombia and we have a public channel that transmits national documentaries and educational programs, stuff like that, and I used to see this channel back in the 80s when I was a kid. All of this of course makes it much more difficult, this wasn't something popular or known at all! well this thing I watched was a short animation, with a very peculiar animation style, and with art based on hieronymus bosch's paintings, I think there was actually some of the painting recreated exactly, and it had a really creepy music all the way, and had no speech at all, only the music, the story was really simple and it was like a man on a journey and the things he found, he was wearing a tunic. The credits sequence was of an ocean, in the same style. I think it was french in origin but I'm not certain.

I've already discarded Fantastic Planet, I was really certain it would be that when I read the description but no, its not like Bosch at all and its longer, with dialogs, the art style and animation specially are very similar to the short I watched.

There was this show during 1999 that aired in England. It was meant for kids but it was scary as shit. It wasn't a cartoon and there were actual actors playing characters. The only thing I remember that scared the shit out of me was the intro that shows the main character (a villian) with big swirly hypnotizing eyes. He was an old white guy but not too old. 50-ish. In the show he just did bad shit and uhhhhh I forgot the name! He had hypnotizing eyes though and the background around him was a scary green cloud or something.

Another show from the same time where two kids would go inside a small sphere shaped spaceship and it would only listen to commands given in Latin.

Can someone help with this movie? I saw it when I was a kid, so probable in the 80s.

It starts in a king's court and a stranger enters and for some reason makes a bet with anyone willing to cut off his head. A young man (maybe a prince) takes an axe and chops the strangers head off, but he is a wizard or something and puts his head back on. The wizard gives the young man x number of years before he does the same. The rest of the movie is about the young man trying to find something I think. In the end he has returned to have his head chopped off, but his women gave him a scarf to put around his neck and when the wizard tries to chop off his head the axe goes through him and the scarf falls to the ground.

Anyone?

I do not know the name, sorry. I'm sure it will be reran this weekend and you can scope the title. But yeah, my wife and I were riveted, and it was the first time I actually exposed myself to the details of the attack, outside of the regular news around the event.

I believe that is a film based on the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I haven't seen any of those movies, but maybe it's one of these two:

Gawain and the Green Knight

Sword of the Valiant

Both are by the same director, Sword of the Valiant has Sean Connery in it and seems to be the more famous one and made in 1984, so maybe it's that one.

102 Minutes That Changed America

A&E Television Networks will air it across all of their cable networks to commemerate the 10th anniversary of the attacks beginning at 8:46 am ET on 11 September 2011 in real time.

You can watch it on YouTube also.

One of the most amazing documentaries ever.

Been trying to remember the name of this one for years and years, even with uber web searching skills I have I come up empty

It was a show maybe sometime between 1990 and 1994 (guessing) on PBS I think??? ...but it was imported from the UK obviously so maybe it was originally some sort of BBC show.

Anyway, the show was about some pre-teens, dragons, magic, castles, etc...I remember it was set in a nice forest setting and there was a female lead character and some bad guy villians. I can't remember if dragons appeared or if I'm adding that through my imagination.

Memory is pretty fuzzy about it but i could have sworn it was called Dragonland or something like that

I distinctly remember being pissed off when they suddenly stopped showing it without getting to any sort of conclusion about what was going on

Quite a lot of possibilites:

One of the (vast array of) T-Bag series: Fits with the young female heroine bit, and set in a variety of fantasy worlds, so could quite possibly have included the one you're thinking of.

H R Pufnstuf: Psychadelic.

Through The Dragon's Eye: A Look and Read (think: drama serial to educate children in English) story about, well, some kids who enter the land of Pelamar through the eye of the dragon on a mural they've painted on the school wall. The Veetacore in Pelamar has exploded, sending Veetons all over the place which the kids need to collect. Aided by Boris, Morris and Doris, and a dragon with a welsh name that escapes me (something like Gwydion?). Also, Boris had a magic cricket bat which grew when he asked it to.

Yes, really. I also remember a song by a quagmire about how he was, well, a quagmire, using lots of qu- words (Hear me, the quagmire! Abandon your quest!)

Look and Read stories were often *batshit insane*.

Massively left-field nomination: The Adventure Game. Yes, it's basically a gameshow made around the idea of a point-and-click adventure. But the inhabitants of the planets - Arg - were generally dragons. Indeed, all the major words for the planet were anagrams of dragon (Argonds, drogna, the Rangdo - who was an aspidistra. Naturally).

Wow thanks for the fast reply...yeah this is a very popular set of search words so basically it renders web searching or even YouTube searching nearly useless.

I looked through and none of those are it, actually maybe I am wrong about the date and it was more like 1995 or something because those look more dated than the thing I am imagining.

I looked and found some Knightmare thing just now, that definitely isn't it either. I remember maybe the focus was on magic and runes or something, I thought maybe it was something about the King Arthur world but I don't think it was. Maybe it was Nova Scotian or New Zealand or something who knows LOL...uuugh I can tell I am going to have this nagging at me yet again

I too have been looking for a movie.
I think I saw it on TV in the early '90s. It was about a humanoid alien stranded somewhere in medieval Europe. He was super pale and eerie looking and wore a black spacesuit, that the folks thought of as a black armor. I believe they also thought his spaceship was a dragon or something. It had a very serious and dark undertone and I think I remember being pretty freaked out as a kid.
Familiar to anyone?

I want to find the name of this song, I heard it on the rock station sparingly. I only remember one line of lyric something about "the alarm rings and can't get out of bed, thoughts in your head" I don't even know if I got that part right. It's a female vocalist.

I'm also looking for the name of a song but I have pretty much no lyrics, just the gist of it. It's been on my mind for months now.

It basically goes:

"Lalalalala lalalalalala, lalalalala, lalalalalala... dance all night."

The singer is female and sounds brazilian or hispanic. It's dance, possibly house music.

i watched a cartoon when i was young.

i kind of remember that it was japanese animation, but i'm not sure.


i remember two scenes:

1. the protagonist, a young kid, in an island or a beach... and a plane comes by and he tries to jump on the plane but he end up falling, but first he grabs the wing of the plane wih his toes!.

2. then in another scene, he must go underwater for some reason, and to breath he uses a minecart upside down.

This has been driving me crazy for a few years. I remember seeing a movie as a kid, it must have been from the 70's (or early 80's at the latest), took place in NY (I think) and it revolved around a neighborhood/building full of senior citizens terrorized by black gang members. The main plot though was an inventive old man trying to fight back. In the climax of the movie, he wears some kind of hand-cuffs and when the main bad guy goes after him, he "hugs" him and locks his arms shut until the police comes to the rescue.

But even as they lock him up, the movie shows the next generation of thugs is ready to take over (with special gang signs).

P.S. Not a Death Wish movie. ;)

Alright, I was laying in bed last night when all of the sudden glimpses of this movie I watched as a child passed before my eyes and I just had to know wtf it was.

It was futuristic sci fi where the main character was a human who fought in some sort of arena. In this arena the fighter's powers were regulated by this blue or red beam that shined down on you during the fight. Being he was a measly human he received 100% bonus against these freaky often several appendage baddies. I think during the climax the main character's power gained from the light was sabotaged and brought down to 0 and yet he somehow wins out against the champ. (or something along those lines.) I think the movie was late 80's or very early 90's, not 100% though. Anyone know what this movie is? I think I encountered it on HBO sometime in the 90's.

Ok there is a tv show/documentary that came on about 6 years ago. I swear the title is "the world's worst jobs" or something very close to that, bit I can't find it anywhere. The standout segments were when they showed a bathtub suicide clean up and someone who had to stay drunk in order to fish bodies out of a burial river in India.

My wife and I are going nuts trying to find it. Thanks.

okay there is this movie that I have been wondering about for a long time. I watched it as a little kid on tv. Basically its about this guy who as a kid has some sort of wooden harness strapped to his neck and shoulders. it seems to be punishment for something. also there is this mongol looking guy who torments him. later somehow he gets free and becomes some sort of great warlord and is even leading 18th century looling armies into battle complete with cannons and what not. later in the movie his tormentor is wearing the harness but he taunts the protagonist about how wont wear it long or something along those lines.

i really hope someone knows what movie im talking about.
