OK, there was this horrible, sci-fi/action, big budget movie that I THINK came out around the time of "War of the Worlds". I was watching War of the World the other day and for some reason, I can't get this movie out of my head; WotW kept reminding me of it.

I can only picture one scene (not worth posting) so I apologize for the awful non-description :(

I started a thread about this without realizing this thread existed (missed it in trying to search, so I hope this isn't considered spamming). Anyone, I actually got this from another place, but I saw it and knew I'd seen it before, and now it's bugging me. This is the ending scene of a movie (it could be a TV miniseries or TV show, but my gut is telling me it's a movie). I saw it was when I was a kid, I think, so possibly 1990s. Here's the scene:

It starts off with kids arriving at school(maybe). I think theyre wearing uniforms. We get a shot of a little boy. Creepy looking. He sees a guy crossing a street and he gets a weird look on his face. Next thing you know, a car comes out of nowhere and rams the guy. The boy is satisfied. He made it happen. We then switch over to a little girl with blonde hair(I think it was blonde). She looks over to the guy who was hit by the car and she gets a peaceful look to her face and I think wind was blowing through her hair. The guy who got hit miraculously gets up uninjured. The boy gives a nasty look to the girl and she gives him a smile.

The scene I can recall vividly, but the rest of the movie I can't. I'm vaguely recalling it had something to do with a pregnant woman and there was some horror/supernatural/sci-fi thing going on with her pregnancy.

The Day the Earth Stood Still remake with Keanu Reeves? Just checked and there's three years between them. For some reason I always link the two in my mind likely due to being remakes.
 
Gaf, I'm looking for a pop song from the late 90's or early 2000's (which probably was a big hit back then).
There was a beautiful female vocal (single) and an awesome acoustic guitar riffs in the chorus (pretty memorable). Of course, it was in English.
Problem is that I don't know anything about singer, song name or album and that makes me a little sad. I heard it last time about a year ago on the radio, but unfortunately hadn't done Shazam / TrackID on it. I do some "casual search" for it sometimes but didn't find it yet.
So, if anybody has any suggestions - you are welcome! That will at least help me a bit in my search ;)

YESSSS!!!

Thank you!

That's crazy, that was my first thought too. If I'm remembering correctly I think they looked a like too .. like same drab color pallet, sorta dark, and it had heavy cinematic grain.

This is what I remember of this television show or film:
- There was a killer dressed as a harlequin or a pierio-clown. Or a mime...
- He killed his victims during a ballroom dance I think with knives or thin daggers.
- It was set in the renaissance or alike...
- It could have been a mini series. I think they talked English.

I saw it on television in the early 90s and these few elements I just described have been stuck in my head ever since. It was quite scary from what I recalled.

Anyone have the faintest idea of what I could be talking about?

Looking for some help trying to remember a game. It was on the GameCube (or at least the GC-era, but I'm pretty sure it was on the GC) and featured a mix of turn-based strategy with first person shooters. It almost functioned like a table-top miniatures game where you had like a radius you could move your characters per turn and at the end of that movement distance, you could perform actions like fire or whatnot. It was SciFi themed (humans vs. aliens) and somewhat cartoon-y, if memory serves.

I imagine that's the one. There's a thread for this specifically for gaming, by the way. - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360236

I hope reposting this isn't against the rules, from page 14:

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.

The wooden harness I'm talking about is apparently a yoke. Anyone know this movie?

Can't remember anything about this song, but I think the chorus had this point where it went "aaalllll IIIII neeeeeed"

EDIT: found it. "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5
 
I'm trying to find the name of this movie. I only remember one thing about it though. It's on Mars or another planet and there are "zombies" and maybe aliens but I don't really know. I think it might have been made in the 2000's or maybe 90's but pretty sure it's in the 2000's.

Ghosts of Mars or Doom, maybe?

First thing I can think of is the DOOM movie with The Rock and Karl Urban.
 
I highly doubt anyone will know these, but I have nowhere else to go.

They're both Kazakh songs.

The first one is a song, and in the music video it's about a rural family, and the guy is waiting anxiously while his wife is going into labor. There's a scene where he's having breakfast with his son. It's a ballad.

The second is a more upbeat 'pop' kind of song. The singer is 'Indira', and in the music video there's a part where a black guy is rapping in Kazakh.

For some reason I just had a flashback of a movie I remember seeing when I was a kid in the early 90s.

All I remember is that the movie began with a guy killing a girl (his girlfriend I imagine) by pushing her off the roof of a tall building. She fell through the skylight of the building.

The whole "thing" of the movie is that you are actually the only person who knows who the killer is and everybody else is trying to find out.

Anybody know the title?


Edit: NVM I found it... It was "A kiss before dying" from 1991.

I'm looking for a black and white war movie (WWI I think) where the good guys plan to steal gold from the the bad guys using a tank to blow open a vault with the gold.

Any ideas?

I guess it's not the one you're looking for, but there was a color Clint Eastwood WWII movie called Kelly's Heroes (1970) where they blew open the outer doors of a deposit building with a German Tiger tank to get to a stash of stolen Nazi gold.

Hah it might be, I was like 7 when I saw it. Even if it isn't this movie has an amzing cast.

Hey,
Im looking for a song i can't remember the Name or artist. I just remember the Video. The camera is following the artist all the time without any cut. First he is walking in a industrial area. Many people passing by while dancing. Then he is in an old factory Hall with girls dancing until he is on a party, also in an old building. After short being the DJ i think he is drinking a beer.
The genre is hip hop i think. German or english. I don't know.
Hope someone knows this vid.
Thanks a lot!
 
Cartoon where a ton of small mushroom-gnome-smurf-like creatures position themselves to form some sort of an image and a giant tries to guess what he's looking at.

Someone described that to me, hoping I know what cartoon they're talking about, but I have zero idea.

If someone can help me find the name of this cartoon/anime, all I remember It was about racing, some sort of super RC cars I think, in the episode I watched the car had some sort of device that created a shield that helped reduce or eliminate the friction with air so it could go faster

Chick(s) tricked another chick into using fake face cream that made of thigh/foot cream.

Any idea?

I know your post is like 3-4 months old but I think its Mean Girls

An older movie about a disease/virus spreading onboard a train. I think the outbreak started with some european (german, swedish). Some guy climbs on the outside of the train and is shot down from the inside.

Any ideas?
 
Movie released around 2003ish starts with S or roughly around that in the alphabet (worked in a video store so I have a rough idea where it was alphabetically).

I'm fairly certain it was a foreign film about an Eastern European girl/lady that moves to Japan and frequents the club scene. Possibly gets work as a DJ. And there's a chance the lady is Scandanavian. I honestly don't remember a whole lot more than that though I believe the ending might have got a bit weird and artsy.

Pretty certain it was foreign but there's a very small chance they spoke English. I believe language was a barrier in the movie as she was in Japan (I think) and she came from somewhere in Europe.

Good luck!
 
Okay, I have nowhere else to go.

It was a very cheesy 'Engrish" version of the Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move theme that had lyrics like "I give my love, I give my whole world" and "The music that we made was sweeter than anything"

Edit: WTF!??! :)
 
This is a long shot. But here it goes! I remember hearing a song by an r&b group. It sounded like it may have been from the late 80s. It was a very upbeat song, I think I remember a good amount of synth used. The lyrics, I am having so much trouble remembering though. My brain keeps telling me they were saying something like, "You send me spinning" but that may be me mixing it up with Mint Condition's You Send Me Swingin (it's definitely not that song). The group's name may have started with "The" ie: The Spinners, The O'Jays, etc.

I hope there are some r&b aficionados here... Lol

Edit: They were male vocalists.

Sounds a bit DISCO/JAZZY. Probably 60s↔90s
Rather SLOW
Chorus lyrics vaguely resemble this:

You… Me… Togetheeeeer
You… Me… Foreveeeeeer
Aaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah

Voice sounds like the Bee Gees. High-pitched but likely male. I believe it's a well-known song but I just can't remember the name. >___>

I am trying to remember a movie I watched when I was a teenager, it was about a housewife who has an affair but this took place during the first moon landing.
 
It's a shibuya-kei Japanese song.

The music video has a really boyish and awkward female singer with short hair.

One of the words is "Chocolat". I don't know if it's the name of the band or song.
 
My wife can't remember this movie that we apparently watched together. It doesn't make any sense to me and I reckon it was a dream she had. Bare with me here. This is a Facebook message she sent to my cousin:

Mrs Swan said:
So here's the bits of the movie I remember, it's about time and I think the title is about time somehow. Like 11:59 or something.

I think it started with the guy in bed and he has a gun and you see his alarm clock and it's one of those click over ones and then I'm a bit fuzzy on what happens next.

there's some gangsta type stuff going on, a limo, a car accident and someone gets shot in the limo. There are these people doing surveillance in a hotel, spying through this peep hole and filming what's happening in the guy's room. There are people having sex in the room or in the surveillance room.

There is an African American man in the movie and I think he is somehow controlling the man that was in his bed, I think he has a time limit to do something and is running out of time, but I can't remember what he needs to do and it keeps showing him in his bed.

At the end there is a woman and she puts mans shoes on and walks around the back yard leaving footprints to look like a man and then I think she might get into the bed?! I know it sounds vague and crazy!!

You believe me don't you?! I'm not crazyyyyyy!!!!

I've heard this story over and over for 7 years now and I have no idea what she is talking about. If anyone can help me, Gaf surely can.

I haven't seen it so only some of the details match but I'd suggest it's 11:14.
