Could be a bunch of movies, but for some reason I am leaning toward The Last American Virgin. Never a bad time to recommend that to GAF.
Might also be Better Off Dead or American Graffiti.

The first one sounds about right. The second definitely wasn't The Last American Virgin or American Graffiti, but Better Off Dead seems possible.
Thanks man just saw the trailer, awesome :lolCount Dookkake said:

I saw a music video once that started with the "Daisy Ad" from 1964 and a bomber pilot was watching it as he was sitting somewhere. The rest of the video I don't remember very well but he was just getting prepared for getting on the plane and in the end I believe he finishes a bombing run. It had some psychedelic elements to it so it wasn't as clear cut as I described.

Trying to track down a decently well-known song that has an intro of African-style harmonies, very similar to the beginning of "Circle of Life". We've managed to eliminate anything off Paul Simon's Graceland, the theme from Beetlejuice :lol, and we're pretty certain it isn't a Sinead O'Connor or Peter Gabriel song either. Ideas?

I saw a trailer for a movie years ago, and I barely remember anything from it, but maybe someone can help me out with this very vague description:
In the trailer, there was some...chemical, or weapon, or something, that had a name I don't remember. I remember there was a man standing in the middle of some open public place(like an outdoor shopping area) with a large sign that had the name of this thing on it. People approached him and asked what it was, and he said something like "If you don't know, it doesn't concern you".
That's probably all really unhelpful, but, I know the movie came out in the first half of the 2000's. So 2000-2005 film, genre was probably thriller/action. Seemed to give off a Bourne Identity type of feel, or Taken. Something like that.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. It's been bugging me for years. :lol

I suggested some Ladysmith before, but my friend insists this is a regular English song with only the intro being done in the other style.
He says, "it sounds so close to this [Ladysmith] but it starts AWAAAAAAAAAY UNYAAAAAAA." :lol

Oh damn, that was from an anime?
Super nostalgic shit right there for me.
Asked this before but no one knew it, so here goes again:
It was a movie in which a homeless man gets taken in by a small family after they discover he is an amazing runner. It concludes with the man winning a huge race with considerable ease ( in the background is a horse race happening concurrently, which the ran is able to outrun). It finishes with the family knowing they pushed him to far and the man lays down and dies ( my memory is hazy, this part might not have happened).
This has been driving me nuts for years. Any suggestion would help.

Any song from an animation I have a memory for. Minute he mentioned "hoo-wah" I thought "Rurouni Kenshin"?SuperAngelo64 said:

this is just impossible to answer but i'm going to give it a shot anyway because it's been driving me crazy for maybe 20 years.
Song playing during the end credits of one Charlie Brown episode OR feature film.
Jazzy (not helpful, i know) i'd say allegro, rather fast but also melancholic and somehow nostalgic, piano (solo ?) but it's definitely not one of the more famous ones by Guaraldi, and i don't even know if that's by Vince or someone else actually.
I could probably try and write a few (like 8 or 10) of the notes if anyone thinks that could help.
One thing i THINK i remember is the episode or feature film ends with Charlie Brown being somewhat happy because he learns some girl likes him (can't remember if it's the red haired girl herself or marcie or even patty) or something like that.
In any case, it definitely ends with something good happening in Charlie's romantic side of life.
I only heard it only once, must have been a teenager then. Thought it was the most gorgeous piece of music i had ever heard and tried to find it ever since. Even tried watching all episodes on youtube, but most of them lack end credits.
Anyone ?

You're lucky I'm also a Charlie Brown nut...eso76 said:
Judging by the description, it can only be 2-3 shows...
a) Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back) - skip to 9:27
b) Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown - 5:56
Hopefully it's one of these two. It's not Race For You Life, Charlie Brown because nothing romantic happens. Not much romantic happens in his life. :C

Here's one for you: Years ago (maybe even back in the 90's) I heard a rap/hip-hop song that featured samples of Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts music, I think it was 'Linus and Lucy' in particular. Any ideas whose song that was?The Frankman said:

... hip-hop? There's been a couple. I think Salt-and-Pepa sampled it also, lemme track it down...Lucky Forward said:
EDIT: Yep, it's called Salt N Pepa Do You Want Me (Peanuts Mix). I'll upload it.

Ooh, thanks but it's not one of those.
Maybe with your help i can find it though.
I started to think it *could* be the show ending with Marcie telling him something nice before either kissing him or winking at him but i can't find it *. Then again maybe it's not that, but it could be Marcie related, since i...uh...kinda had a crush on her.
( Yeah, i did, so what ?
)* Edit: just discovered that would be "you're the greatest Charlie Brown" and Marcie takes off her glasses and winks at him. But it's NOT that either.

If it can help (maybe it can help distinguish if it's a special, movie or regular tv show from the series) i believe credits didn't play in front of solid colour matte like they do in the episode i just found, but rather in front of the same backdrops used in the show; it *could* end with CB walking out of the scene before credits roll in on the same background.
if i find some tune composer online i might try and put a few notes i remember together.

You got me thinking... there are multiple shows where Charles *almost kinda* finds love. I don't have the episode but is this the song?eso76 said:

I think what you're referring you is Charlie brown gets to a bus stop to try and get to The Little Red-Haired Girl, misses the bus but gets a letter that reads "I like you". Show ends with him, dancing up and down.

oh, yes sounds like it might be this ! maybe, finally....
"video is not available in your country"
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUU
tried searching with "charlie brown gets letter from red haired girl" and found the video you linked...It's not that either : (
which makes me think i got things mixed, because this is more or less what i remembered the ending to the show i'm talking about was like.
Damn.
Actually: Good grief.
I'll never find it and i think i am just making things harder with wrong details.

This was a while ago but my memory is very hazy.
About five to six...or seven years ago I saw a music video on MTV2.
It was computer generated.
It was Alt Rock.
The basic story was the main guy was addicted to these pills
Had to choose between his drug addiction or his woman
He choose the drugs
Ended with him overdosing and being sent to purgatory
Purgatory was represented as a parking lot filled with endless rows of cars.

argh.. can you give me more to go on? Can you describe the animation it comes from?
Ok I have two things I can't find on the net and it's pissing me off.
One was a video of 3 guys around a car with a boom box singing most awkwardly about "i'm hot and you're not" :lol and these two girls show up on bikes and start rap battling it out on the street.... I need to send it to a friend of mine, she'll love it.
THE OTHER.
A movie from many many years ago, was on pay per view and had to do with a crime somewhere maybe in vegas? I believe it was a girl shoplifting in a mall and the scene was told through several characters point of view... but that's all I remember . I vaguely believe Woody Harrelson was in it but I can't remember
help gaf!

I'm looking for the names of two games I can't quite remember at the moment:
1) The first one is a math game for the pc where the player has to travel from room to room in a hotel (or radio station?) to solve a mystery. The game came out in the early to mid ninties and all I can recall is defeating robots by solving math problems that show up on their monitors and a classical piece that played in the background of the game (I'm thinking Mozart, but I'm not sure).
2) For this game I'm not sure if it even released, but here goes; there this game that involved two animals (ones a rabbit, the other is either a ferret or something else) chained together whose goal was to escape from and completely destroy the lab that was holding them captive. The idea was to make the animals work in tandem ala Banjo/Kazooie while chained and it was slated as an Xbox original.

Probably not going to work this out, but I can remember playing a game when I was a young tacker in the early 90s.
It was a top down adventure game on DOS where you were a dwarf/elf running around the screen Zelda style, throwing axes, shooting arrows and collecting shit like keys and gold (maybe) to get through each level.
I know that's pretty vague but I've looked at a bunch of DOS game sites with no luck =[
EDIT: It may have had the word Heart(s) in the title. Not sure why but it just popped in to my head...

I once read a comic about a huge space ship with a small crew awake and hundreds of people in cryo sleep. Due to some emergency the people in cry wake early and turn into zombies. So, zombies in space, basically. I'm not sure wether it was an American or European production. Ring a bell with anyone?

Hi GAF, I've been trying to find you the name of a movie a bit of which I caught a long time ago on TV and it seemed awesome but can't find it anywhere based on the description.
Here's what I (vaguely) remember from the movie:
1. The movie is animated, but seemed more hand drawn than computer animation (or so I remember). It was very red and gray (and maybe a bit brown).
2. It's not a recent movie, I think I saw it at least 3-4 years ago, and since that was on TV (maybe cinemax?) it's probably a bit older than that.
3. The main character in the movie is a girl which is trapped in a decaying world. Pretty much all the time she's accompanied by an animal which talks to her (I'm thinking it's a frog, or a cat but I'm not sure).
4. Parts of the world are being consumed (destroyed?).
5. There's a queen (the girls mother, I think? not sure) and she (the queen) wants the girl because there's something in her memory (I think) and she tricks the animal into taking the girl to her but then the animal helps the girl flee.
6. I don't think the movie is American (though I'm not sure about it either).
7. I think the girl (at one point) gets to a city (town?) where she meets with people who are forgetting their names or something to that effect. But I'm not quite sure about this part either, maybe I'm mixing things up with another movie or even a game (for some reason whenever I try to remember things about this movie, I keep remembering things from "Pathologic", that russian survival horror game).
8. At one point in the movie, the girl wakes up in a room (maybe it was the beginning of the movie?) and she needs to cross a chasm (or was it a street) and there are things flying along the chasm.
I'm trying to think of a way to describe the style of the movie (the graphical style, that is), but I'm not quite sure how. It looked a bit like "The Scream", the painting.
Alternatively, is there a place were I can see a list of animated movies so that I can search for it there using keywords, years, etc?
Thank you GAF!
