The "Help Me Figure Out What Movie This Is" Thread

[cooney]

A while back, Edgar Wright retweeted a video clip someone posted. I may be wrong but it seemed like an 80s Hong Kong movie and it ended with a woman hanging upside down from like a street light or something above a freeway and firing a gun down on a car below her, hitting her target before she died (I think) and then it rolled credits. The tweet was about what an awesome finale it was. I’ve tried looking through Wright’s feed and searching for this with no luck. Any ideas?

A horror movie from a Scandinavian country made from 2000-2006 about a rambling apartment house in a hilly woody area...saw it on cable around then but forget which channel...

Saw some trailer on a DVD before a movie (just a few years ago), and I've never heard of the film in any other capacity, since. One of those things where it almost seems like you imagined it.

Anyway, it was some indie film about a very overweight guy. At the end of the trailer, he is standing at a restaurant walk up window ordering damn near everything on the menu, and then says something like, "Oh, I guess I better get my sister something, too" and he proceeds to order a bunch more stuff. Then, he looks at the window cashier, who we can't see, and says, "What?"

Never have heard anything else about that film, don't know what it was called, anything. It was in the past decade, I think.

Could it be Humble Pie?

the end of the trailer definitely has the walk-up scene, which I imagine he just remembered slightly wrong.

This one is very hard to find I think it is Italian or something it is foreign, young girl whose parents die on the train, fast forward to years later she is a young lady living in Italy with friends, it came out in 2000 or something. I can give more information if you need anymore.

If you have more information, share it! The more we know, the more likely we'll be able to help. It's not a quiz.

A 50's western in color. A massacre at a fort or stockade happens largely because of the actions of a scheming woman. She's left, back against the fort wall, apparently the sole survivor. The camera pans up to show an Indian on the wall above her. Unseen by her, the warrior draws his bow - and as the camera remains on him - shoots a fatal arrow at the villainess.

I have a couple that have been stuck in my head for years:

80s-90s thriller/horror where a woman is putting lipstick on her nipple. It's not Showgirls where Nomi already has the lipstick on, I specifically remember her applying it in a mirror.

Possibly an episode of Little House on the Prairie or similar show, definitely a period piece. A white man and a Black man shake hands, and although the white man just did something good for him, he admits something like "I still think about the fact that you're Black when I shake your hand."

Linnea Quigley has a nipple lipstick scene in Night of the Demons.

Yeah, that's the other one that comes up when I try to search it. Definitely not that one either.

This is a movie I assume is from the 2000’s, I think it’s called “Black _____” (two word title) and is an historical account of I believe experimentation (and/or mutilation and display) of black women or a particular black woman. Please and thank you!

EDIT: It’s not “Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” or “Remembering Anarcha”.

EDIT 2: It’s Black Venus I was thinking of. Good talk

Help me find the movie I saw last month on streaming video. It had a good guy that got hooked up with around four other people, they were some kind of military or police and got into shoot outs with bad guys. One of the team was a big, muscular white guy that was the tech geek, he just ran the computers and did surveillance. He didn't want to shoot because he made a mistake in the past. At the end he got out from behind the computer and joined the action. It was not a real old movie but I had never seen it before and can't remember any of the stars. Thanks for any help.

You are describing Alexander Ludwig's character in Bad Boys for Life

So I remember a trailer from the 80s where the lead male was some kind of tough guy who seemed like he came back to town. He had a cartilage earring. I thought it was Streets of Fire but I just watched it and that wasn’t it.
