90s Sci-fi thriller, robots disguised as humans identified when they start to repeat speech patterns

Okay, this one has been bugging me for years…I think it was late 90s when I saw this but only from half-way through as I came home drunk and it was on terrestial UK tv  (not sure if was before Channel 5 launched) – hope someone can help me it could be obvious but I have tried in vain to discover what it was called.

It is set in some sort of desolate / post-apocolyptic Earth-scape like barren desert with ruins…there is a white man (the hero) who meets a little girl in one of these dump buildings – he is sure she is not one of the killer robots that look like humans and allows her to stay with him. The only way to identify the robots is when they start to repeat their speech patterns…pretty sure the girl turns out to be one and the hero’s friend, a black guy warns him but he is sure she is okay…the friend also ends up being one of them pretty sure there is a quicksand scene where he dies and near the end there is an injured soldier guy who the hero goes to help (not sure if he knows him from earlier in the film) and as he appears to be dying he realises he has said the same phrase a few times and must be one of the robots – sorry it seems not much to go on but think they explode or something when discovered and they are machines inside…there is not much dialogue most characters I remember only say a few things which is why the robots are hard to identify, except the main dude who says more stuff than the others, at least I think I could be way off here it was 15-20 years ago!! Help!!

Recent foreign film about odd ‘man/creature’ who moves into a family’s home

I have only seen the trailer for this movie, so I can’t really summarize the whole plot. The movie is in German, I think, but it could also be Dutch or Flemish. A strange/looking man moves into the home of a family and he proceeds to dominate the family’s life. The man looks like a homeless person, with a long beard, he is very dirty and wearing hardly any clothes if I remember correctly. He doesn’t speak. In one scene I think he is taking a bath in the family’s tub. From what I remember of the trailer the man is not really a man but some sort of mythical creature, but having not seen the film itself, I cannot be sure.  I think the title is a single (odd) word, but I could be wrong. I think it came out within the last five years, but it could be a few years older than that. Please help me remember what movie it is!

Olympic medalist

Movie from the late 70’s or 80’s, coming-of-age type, comedy type.  Older character is constantly telling the young ones that back in the day he was an Olympic medalist.  No one believes him.  By and by, he passes away.  At the end of the film, an Olympic medal and newspaper story is discovered in his belongings.

 

1930’s, 40’s, or 50’s mystery film, time travel/ghost story

Bear with me….

Saw this film years ago and I’ve never been able to trace it since. It’s black and white and could be any time from the 30’s onwards.

Plot from what I remember……

A man goes out late at night walking along a city riverbank (US) like a promenade. He sees a little girl sat on a bench and naturally goes up to see if she is ok and find out why she is out alone. They chat for a while and she tells him a bit about her life. At some point he turns around and she has dissapeared. A few weeks later he is out walking at the same spot and sees the little girl again but this time she is obviously older, a couple of years or more. Again they chat and she tells him all the things that have been going on in her life but once more she dissapears at some point. This goes on for some time, each meeting she is older and it becomes apparent that she is not a ghost but that the time she is living in and the mans are gradually becoming synchonised, she is catching up with him. He resolves to find her, I can’t remember how he does this but the climax of the film is that he ends up finding her at a cottage by the sea where a huge storm is brewing and she dies unless he can save her (their timelines are now in sync and she is a grown woman). I think he does manage to save her but my memory of this bit is sketchy at best.

Please help me find this lovely film, I’ve told my wife about it and we’d dearly love to watch it again.

gang movie. Name of two brothers, where the little brother gets shot

I saw it a long time ago , might be 2010-2011.

it was in another language

i saw it on tv, and it was a movie.

it was in color.

movie genre: gangster/mafia/crime

– i dont remember the full movie but i remember some scenes.

1st scene: little brother grabs a baseball bat from his car trunk and heads towards a store and is pissed because someone is selling stuff on his territory. Big brother tells little brother to relax, and makes little brother go outside. After little brother goes outside, big brother proceeds to kick the guy that sold on his territory.

2nd scene: little brother wants to become a big shot, and make deals with some mafia/organized gangsters along with his friend standing beside him. The gangsters betray him and his friend while in a MEAT LOCKER, and shoots the friend first. After the little brother realises his time has come, he proceeds to pray(i think he was muslim), and slowly walks towards the shooter. The shooter then shoots him in the head.

3rd scene: Mafia/organized gangsters tells big brother they have his little brother etc, and setups a meeting so they can retrieve his little brother. Big brother meets the Mafia in a JUNK YARD, but has covered it up, setting the little brother inside the car with glasses, making it look like he is alive. After big brother finds it out, he begins a shootout in the JUNK YARD. the mafia leader ends up fleeing from the scene, until the big brother catches him on some sort of train station, where he kills the mafia leader with a knife, saying something like ”dont waste bullets on swine” or something like that.

Man trapped sarcophagus escapes with a cross that is really a jack

Man trapped, or hides in a sarcophagus.  He has on him a big silver cross.   The cross is really a jack.   The side ends of the cross hold a bunch of metal rollers.   He stands the cross up, and it turns out that it’s a jack.  It lifts the stone sarcophagus cover just enough for him to place the rollers under.   And he is able to roll the lid off and escape.
This is so keeping me up at night.  Oh please….anyone who can help me, I would be so grateful.

Women abducted to asylum-type place where everyone has dementia

It was in a foreign language, French or maybe Italian, and I saw it on TV in the noughties but it must have been made in the eighties or even the seventies.

The main woman, a statuesque blonde, is kidnapped from her home and brought to the asylum-type place, whereupon she befriends her “roommate.” Later on, the roommate wanders off and can’t remember how to get back. No-one can remember anything…

I think it all turns out to have been some government experiment into chemical warfare which resulted in mass memory loss!

1930s or 1940s movie about two performers

I watched this movie years ago on TCM. It was one of the very first old hollywood movies i watched and I didn’t know actors back then, so i have no idea who starred in it. I believe it was made in the 30s or 40s because it was in black and white and was not as perfect as newer black and white films. I dont remember much, just that the movie is about two performers, a man and a woman, who are struggling in the industry. I’m not sure if they performed in a theater or a circus but i remember a scene in which the woman is trying to encourage the man who is feeling down because of his bad luck. I believe she was becoming successful but he was not. One thing I know for certain was that the woman would call the man “funny face”.

I remember falling in love with this movie which led to me watching more TCM and movies from the golden age of hollywood. I even named a contact on my phone “funny face” because i couldn’t stop thinking of the movie. I have tried searching for this film for  a really long time and would be very glad if anyone could help me find out what it is.

early 80s thriller

Basics:

American movie, in English, color, was on HBO in the early-mid 80s

It was a thriller / suspense type movie. There was a guy holding hostages in a large white mansion. He negotiated with police who provided him with a means of escape (helicopter or boat?); however, the snipers were ready for him. When he made his getaway, he surrounded himself with hostages and covered the whole group with a large bed sheet as he crossed a huge green lawn outwitting the cops.

I was unable to finish the movie, and I have been unable to remember the title for over 30 years. Please help!! I wish that I could remember more, but I was too young.

Thanks all !!

 

~2002, London, heroin, homeless junkies, Greenland, mole people, Surreal-ish movie

The movie is from approximately ~2002 (maybe 98-05). I think it was set in London. The part I remember the best is that the protagonist falls in with sort of a gang/community of homeless junkies (or maybe just homeless kids) who live in abandoned tunnels below London (basically ‘mole people’). The gang members sell heroin for their leader, who is some old guy. Somehow the leader is murdered (I think by some mobsters who come into the tunnels) and the protagonist gets the heroin stash and runs off with his junky girlfriend.

I believe the movie starts and ends with the protagonist narrating from a snowy hut in Greenland, where he fled to with some money at the end of the story. The movie is a fairly weird and mysterious story from what I remember, not quite Peter Lynch weird, but still pretty strange.

I thought it was starring Ewan McGregor, and maybe Pete Postlethwaite as the gang leader, but apparently not, since I already searched through their filmographies.

Art house film about a flying giant with red boots

It was a dark film (Pans Labyrinth style ) about a young girl and boy, i think they were kind of lost. Im pretty sure the bad guy was a giant, and he had these glittery red winged boots that enabled him to fly. I remember the girl sneaking into his house and the giants wife treated her kindly because the giant wanted to eat her (?)

It was in french or spanish maybe? English subtitles, and I saw it on sbs/abc over 8 yrs ago I think.

Please help 🙂

One-armed gangster; comic books; paper shredders: 70 US TV movie

From the mid-70’s; most likely a TV movie, i.e. ABC Movie of the Week or NBC Sunday Mystery Movie episode of MacMillan & Wife, Columbo, etc.

The scene I recall is in a large room in a mansion(?). The room is filled with racks of comic books as well as a large paper shredder. The protagonist(s) are fighting with a group of criminals or gangsters in order to keep one particular comic book from being shredded. One of the gangsters has an old-style artificial claw hand and gets his false hand stuck in the paper shredder during the altercation; sparks fly.

Help, please.
