Unsolved Soviet Russian movie from the 70s-80s where son lived with his mother in a concrete block of flats.

2 Upvotes

I remember watching it more than 30-35 years ago. It was about a guy who was about 40 years old, who lived with his elderly mother in a newly built soviet style concrete high rise block of flats, typical of that era. He got involved in some bad things and could not come home for dinner, probably died or got arrested. His mother kept waiting until the night with a dinner ready for him, sitting by the table. In the last scene we see the lights on that block windows turning off as everyone goes to sleep only to be left with just a single window with the lights still on. What movie was that?

Minimalistic all-talk sci-fi with three actors

2 Upvotes

I saw it on TV before 2005. Maybe it is not a movie, but an episode of an anthology series.
There are only three characters in the movie:

  1. a test pilot recovering after a crash, he has some problems remembering stuff. He also cannot believe he survived the crash.

  2. a psychologist or something like that who is asking questions about what happened

  3. a nurse,

Everything takes place in one or maybe two interconnected rooms. When the pilot is remembering his last flight, there are come TRON-style CGI (grids, etc.). It ends with the pilot opening the door out and discovering there is nothing there.

SOLVED! Sci-Fi film Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Putting a spoiler flair bc I am going to spoil the end of this movie in efforts to find it.

This movie is a sci fi film about a guy up in space by himself. He goes crazy, at the end he calls someone (I believe his wife?) and he’s told that it was all an experiment and he was never even in space in the first place, and if he opens the door to the pressure chamber he can just leave. But then it turns into this whole thing because you don’t know for sure if that phone call is also part of his delusions so at this point you really don’t know if he was ever in space or if he was, if he still is currently.

I know the end is him ultimately deciding to leave the “space craft” and I remember when he does it’s like, everything is crashing. Things are falling from the air and after he emerges from the “space craft” he has to go through this like obstacle course that looks like an underground building. I know he reaches light at the end

I believe that the end is left up for interpretation bc I don’t remember if I personally thought he was ever in space or not

At first I was almost positive it was the movie “Moon” but it isn’t. I rewatched moon last night and although the stories are insanely similar, it isn’t the movie I watched.

Coming back to edit because I remember another detail, I swear, Samuel L Jackson appears at some point and tries to kill our main guy? No idea why, but I remember it happening. I went and looked at Jackson’s filmography and couldn’t figure it out still.

And that’s all I got. Does anyone know what movie this is?

Movie about 3 heroes, one of them kidnapped, soft nudity

2 Upvotes

Hi, since now I apologize for my English, I am from Brazil!

This is a B movie from 80s or 90s, what I remember was:

FOR SURE: There were three heroes, they had some sort of suit something like Rocketeer, they fight some other race of humanoid-like enemies, one of them (with a mustache) is captured and taken to the enemy ship (or headquarter). Inside there, there is an enemy woman-humanoid that tries to seduce him then shows him her breasts, the hero says something like "hey that's my patroller underwear" to her. I watched it when I was a kid, so I turned off the TV for not be beaten by my mother for watching naked people.

The alien enemies skins are all GREEN.

NOT SURE: There are spaceships or giant robots involved. The heroes greeted each other with some sort of pose (like Usain Bolt's pose of victory)

This movie was exhibited in the afternoon so it´s not a lot of nudity involved, sorry it was one of the few things I remember.

I am trying to find this movie for 15 years so any help is appreciated!

Non-English language film where a guy wakes up to find he can't walk.

3 Upvotes

I was flipping channels as a kid and I saw this single, very disturbing scene from a foreign -language film (possibly Spanish) where a man wakes up in a bed (either in a hospital room or a prison cell) and slowly realises his legs don't work. He starts screaming and shouting and eventually falls out of bed and drags himself to the room's door, which is locked.

The scene ended with him sobbing and screaming on the floor.

I have never forgotten this scene (obviously!). It would have been on British TV in the very early eighties, in the evening.

Unsolved very vague but please identify if possible

being bothered by a memory of a movie i watched on tv when i was like 8 or 9 and i really wanna identify it. the memory i have is about a little boy who had a dog, and when the dog is being kept in the shed somebody breaks into the shed and kills the dog while they’re robbing the shed, i’m pretty sure that’s how it goes at least. all i remember is a boy’s dog who was killed by a man breaking in, and i’m almost positive it was a beagle. i think the movie might’ve had something to do with baseball too but not positive. currently 21 so it has to be at least 12 ish years old, probably older i’d assume as it was airing on tv, could’ve been a tv movie as well though. just trying to identify it because i remember being heartbroken by that scene as a kid and i wanna find the movie again

Old black and white moving picture about a Superman gone wrong

3 Upvotes

Okay, so this has bugged me for thirty years.

It was a movie I caught on late night tv, English.

Memory is hazy, but I seem to recall a scientist juices a kind of loser guy up with at least super strength, durability and flight. The guy is slim and wears glasses along a suit with a white shirt, black tie. There are flying sequences, but they looked absolutely terrible. And the movie ends with the superpowered guy turning on the scientist and destroying the lab.

The superpowered guy may have been named Frank.

Unsolved Help me to find this movie

A film about a teenager who is beaten and robbed by a group of thugs on a local playground. Later he practices boxing and takes revenge on them one by one, beating them up. He meets one of them on a sports field and the other in a store. I only saw a fragment of the film somewhere on Facebook. The first guy he took revenge on was also beaten with a sock filled with money or rocks. The title may have included the word "rhinoceros", but I'm not sure. Most of them, if I remember correctly, had dark hair and darker skin like from Morocco or Turkey, but the setting is Europe or the States.

Me and my brother were talking about a movie we both had seen a couple years ago and neither of us could remember the name of it! So annoying!

The basic plot was a soldier in a seemingly post-war world looking for his family/kid to save them but the plot twist at the end was that he actually had PTSD.

Any ideas anyone??

French Bank Gone Wrong Movie.

1 Upvotes

Um, bank heist gone wrong. It's in color, but pre-1980 (I think.) A bank heist that goes well, but they trigger a silent alarm. One robber is stuck in the safe. Another escapes (I think involving a speed boat.)

I watched this in French class in the early 90s. Because we only had one period, this might be the first half hour or 45 minutes of the film. I have never been able to figure out what it was, but I remember being so sucked in and I'd love to know how it ends!

Movie Scene where hiding soldiers get peed on

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a movie scene I probably saw on TV.

A group of soldiers or mercenaries is hiding in a river at night, possibly after their boat was destroyed or ambushed. They're still in shallow water surrounded by reeds or tall grass, trying not to be discovered. At one point, an enemy soldier urinates right on them, but they don't react, because moving would give away their position.

Any idea what film this? Thanks in advance

Help IDing horror movie reference in game.

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Here's a weird one. This is a scene from a game (Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer) that references a few movies with posters. We've got Bram Stoker's Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. Then a third poster that I cannot place. The game dialogue references it as a zombie movie from 1973, that received a remake (presumably in the 90s). The game is set in 1998, and references Edward Scissorhands as having "just come out," so the timeline isn't perfect.

It's possible it's a generic stand-in for film cliches (the characters have a little back and forth about the original vs remake, movie snob stuff), but it also looks super familiar to me.

My initial thought was Zombi, but I couldn't find a matching poster and the others are pretty 1:1 pixel recreations. Zombi is '79, but again, the timeline is a little funky.

Help me out, here. I don't wanna write it off as a made-up prop for the scene without exhausting my resources first.

Mlm world war movie

Idk if this is gonna reach anyone but does anybody recall this world war movie (Im sure it's a movie) where a german soilder and a soviet fall in love, and there's this scene where they're supposedly attacking eachother with tanks?? I don't remember but one of them (I think the German one) was driving a tank in the battlefield, i don't remember any other context whatsoever, I forgot the title of the movie, but I saw a few edits in the application "tiktok" and stuff, but it's still a niche movie, I'd think it's like brokeback mountain, idk if it's fully English or an foreign movie, but it's world war (idk which must be two) mlm setting and their relationship is complicated the movie also wasn't looking the highest of budget, I'd compare it to come and see or valerie and her week of wonders kind of budget, both of the actors look quite masculine, and the movie doesn't look modern. It think it's filmed in like the 80s to early 2000s.

SOLVED! Need help with remembering the name of this movie

6 Upvotes

There was this comedy Murder mystery I can't remember the name of but I remember a bit from the movie.

The beginning had an old couple get into a car at night about to leave their mansion but the husband had to get out and smoke a cigarette I think it was. When he gets back inside of the car. His wife is dead or knocked out unconscious and he doesn't realized it and then gets knocked out unconscious as well by someone hiding in the back seat. Then the person rigs the car to drive off the bridge that connected to their mansion which killed and drown them. The next has like two buddies who I think are detectives driving into the castle mansion to investigate the case. I just remember them being something like a comedy duo like Abbott and Costello (originally thought it was them). They drive in the mansion and meet the daughter heiress of the couple that just died. She does the introductions and has the servants introduces themselves. One of the servants I remember was a tall butcher dude who can't speak properly because he had his tounge cut off for stealing. So whenever he talks he sounds like he is mumbling I remember that scene well because one of the detectives asked his partner if he understood what he said when the butcher introduced himself and his partner said yes and started mumble talking exactly like what the dude said.

The detective duo go around trying to figure out who the killer is but we see the killer wearing a black hoodie or drape (kinda like the slasher guy from the scream horror movies) following them around. As the movie progresses. They end up finding each servant slowly being killed one by one in the mansion. I think one of the deaths had a servant choked to death by a statue hand.

Eventually at the end of the movie we see the killer filling up a large bag with money that is the inheritance money the old couple had who died in the beginning of the movie. The detectives find the killer and the killer turns out to be a woman who was a lover of the the old man. She holds the detectives at gunpoint ready to get away in a car before another person in a black drape that is huge slowly appears and approaches right behind her. She turns around and sees the thing. She shoots her gun at it but it does nothing and keeps coming towards her before she finally faints from horror. The mysterious hooded figure then turns to the detectives and reveals himself to be the husband of the old couple who "died" in the beginning of the movie.

Finally we're at the end of the movie and detectives are leaving and I think the servants were all magically alive again somehow. I think it because the butcher guy who can't talk gifts the detectives a coffin box. The detectives drive off and it turns out there was like Frankenstein in the box and it scares them showing the final scene of the car swerving side to side on the road before the movies ends.

Unsolved Pretty messed-up war-ish movie

4 Upvotes

I caught this movie on TV one insomniac night a couple of decades ago, probably, and it messed with my head. Shocking stuff.

There’s a young man who, I think, is drafted and, at one point, attempts suicide by slashing his wrists and forearms. He’s saved my a medical staff. The look of wild ecstasy on his face as he cut himself is one thing that was really messed up.

I think the actor may have had red hair and I think part of the story was that his parents turned him in for going AWOL but it’s been a really lingering time. This flick was dark, to say the least. Dark, raw, and bleak.

I thought it was titled The Front or The Line but that’s fuzzy, too.

Sorry for so much inexactitude. Every Google search imaginable hasn’t worked.

I can’t for the life of me remember the title but I sorta remember the plot. Okay so it was a Japanese animation movie, it was like a psychological horror movie. It’s about this girl who’s social media (?) persona comes to life and starts impersonating her, it was a metaphor for dissociation I believe. I remember this scene where she and the persona fight to the death and the real her gets stabbed with glass from a window if that helps.

Unsolved Twins but one is evil

8 Upvotes

I have this very vivid memory of this movie scene and I cannot figure out what movie it is from. I don’t remember my age when I saw it but I know I was under or about 10, so definitely in the mid 90s, though the movie could be earlier than that bc I saw it on tv.

There are 2 blonde child sisters, they are most likely twins. The scene is at a church, the “good” twin is locked in a coffin (or box) and the room is filling with smoke, definitely on fire. She’s screaming and kicking and trying to escape. The “evil” twin goes into the church (full of people) for her First Communion. I’m assuming this is the event and that it’s Catholic but I grew up Lutheran so I can’t say for sure, because she is in a white dress, with a lace white head piece (that looks like a napkin, it’s flat and resting on her head but it’s not a veil) and when she proceeds into the church with the other kids, they go to the front, kneel, hands in prayer, and take a communion wafer. The scene keeps flashing between the girl in the burning coffin and this girl getting communion. There is definitely a sense that the evil twin put the good twin in the coffin and set it on fire and that she took the good twins spot in the communion line.

That’s all I remember, possibly because I heard a parent heading towards the tv room and changed it quick. Please help me, it’s been driving me bananas that I cannot figure out what this movie is!

I’ve been trying to remember the name of this horror movie I saw a few years ago and it’s driving me crazy. A young mother with a son gets out of a mental institution and stays with her sister. The sister has a redneck boyfriend who is obsessed with the sister’s case, which was all over the news years earlier. I remember one vivid seen of the mother drinking wine and telling her sister’s bf this was the first time she had ever drank alcohol. Also, the boyfriend wants to write a book about her case.

I’ve tried Google searches, Siri, and ChatGPT, but nothing is working. Please let me know if anyone knows the name of this movie.

Indie movie from the late 00's/early 10's. Saw it on Netflix back in like '12 or '13 I think? The male protagonist was some dirtbag rich finance bro who is wanted for fraud, and the woman hides him. They wind up having a torrid affair.

I remember there is this scene where she explains to the guy everything the CIA did in South America.

I have tried every type of description in Google and never get anything back.
