First one, there's a scene where there's a knock on the door of an apartment, the lady goes, who I believe is in distress, goes to answer it. She looks through the peephole and the scene switches to looking through the peephole. There's a guy pointing a gun and he shoots her through the peephole. Think they were looking for the boyfriend. Pretty sure the boyfriend is then captured.

Fled?

There's this film of which I vaguely remember a couple of scenes. Probably dating from the 70's, could possibly be classified as a western or similar period and setting. It was set in a remote mine out in a desert type area. A man is mining for something and we see him coming out of the mine and he's wearing goggles, holding a sledgehammer and has no shirt on. A woman who was wearing only her underwear which was 19th century type bloomers and shouting angrily at him. He ties her by her hands and legs to a bed and I think maybe leaves her there for a long period. Vague about the rest of the film but possibly they were the only characters in it, they might have been husband and wife.

You're a genius. That's exactly the one haha. Thank you.

The other one is a lot tougher.

This isn't a movie but hopefully someone can help ... back in the 80s I watched a TV short story drama series, not unlike Tales of the Unexpected, could even BE Tales of the Unexpected.

Anyway, there is an episode that's stayed with me and which I would love to see again ... I think the gist is that a man is visiting a house with two sisters. One of the sisters makes out (discreetly) that the other sister is insane. As the story unfolds, there seems to be evidence of that but in the end it turns out to be the opposite and the (real) mad sister locks him in the basement and stabs him repeatedly.

Ring any bells?

Sounds like God's Not Dead.

I googled 'God's Not Dead "philosophy club" ' and got this link as one of the results:

It seems it is End of the Harvest.

Something that's been bugging me for a few days now. I'm listening to some stuff on YouTube. 80's synth mish mash stuff, but there's a movie quote in this tune that I recognise, but can't recall the name of the film. Can anyone help?

Go to 1:58.

Perhaps 5 years back-no earlier, there was a trailer for a film with 4 well known actors, set in a New York apartment. I thought Jodie Foster, Michael C Reilly and maybe Julianne Moore were in it. The trailer had the 4 having coffee in the apartment, and then I think the host couple go to the kitchen to discuss something, apparently to do with the kid of the other couple.....
I figured I'd wait until it was issued as a DVD, and forgot about it.
But have not been able to find it, either by checking films made by any of the actors I thought were in it, or scanning releases from the last few years. Maybe it was so bad tha it was binned.
Any one have any clue what film this is? It was set in NY with your middle class NY white types, the kind that go to museums and antique shops and MoMa and who vote solidly Democratic, not for Al Sharpton but for Hillary of Chuck Schumer.

I assume it's "Carnage"
You have the right actors so I dunno why you weren't able to find it :pac:

Carnage?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnage_(2011_film)

Not bad, can tell it's straight from a play. Presume it wasn't really shot in New York as it's Polanski!

Arghus · 24-03-2017 1:36am

Carnage.

budgemook · 24-03-2017 1:44am

Definitely Carnage, film version of a play.

Also, isn't there a movie identification thread?

Edit: yeah the first sticky thread :-D

SILVAMAN · 24-03-2017 10:04am

Excellent thanks.

I think there was an animated movie with African-American child characters from the 1990s. It might not be family friendly. I was 6 so I don't remember anything else.

Was it definitely the 90's? As kinda sounds like it might be The Proud Family but that didn't start until 2001.

Here's a clip....

If not, Eddie Murphy also had some stop motion show in the late 90's called The PJs which It could have been.

Nah, I would remember anything from Disney.

It's not the PJs either.

I was 6 in 1996 so anything from 1996 or before.

Fat Albert? From the 70's but was repeated a lot over the years.

I already got the answer.

It's this:

Ralf and Florian · 27-03-2017 8:17am

This movie which I saw a brief scene from on the tv a few years ago, fairly recent I'd say dating at least from 00's. A young American guy is on holiday in North Africa, maybe Morocco and he's out at night alone drunk, maybe he's had a row with his friends and become seperated. He's in a square and there's a shifty gang of guys in leather jackets hanging around watching him. Suddenly he's punched and next scene cuts to the gang dragging him into what looks like a barn and he's raped by the gang though it doesn't show it in detail.

degsie · 01-04-2017 8:36pm

Trying to get the name of a movie, but details sketchy

It's a recent movie made up of short stories, one being a Queen who want's a child at any cost (it ends badly). I think the queen is played by a well known Spanish/Mexican actress. There was a clip played on the Graham Norton show some time back. Sorry for the scant details

So..yeah ...am .... try this one on for size .

My 93 year old aunt was telling us on Monday about a movie herself, her sisters and her dad (my granddad) were extras in . The part they were in was shot up around Killaloe and they were brought up from Limerick each day and back down in the evening . It stared Fionnula Flanagan and some other prominent male actor who she couldn't remember but my mam later on phoned me to say they had remembered , it was Ray Milland and she also believes Des Keogh was in it . It was supposedly set around the time of the famine and was supposedly called Send Us Your Poor .

I say 'supposedly' because I can find neither record nor mention of anything resembling it anywhere . My mam wasn't part of it but she says she does remember the others going up to Killaloe to be involved and does remember the stars involved .

So can anyone offer any enlightenment ? maybe someone with access to some moviedatabases beyond the usual .

Thank you so much for that , I just phoned them there to let them know they weren't going mad, well maybe they are but not because of this

I had tried all the usual places like IMDB and google search but found nothing and no mention of any of the stars having made it .
