Result: Spanking The Monkey (1994) starring Jeremy Davies and Alberta Watson as very troubled son and mother, who has a leg in a cast Thanx MystMoonstruck, Geoff. Jun 12, 2009
It must have been on in the mid to late 80s, and it may have been on Showtime, HBO, or Cinemax because I think I watched part of it when we got cable. It had to do with teenage boy (probably 16 or 17) who was taking care of his sick mother. It seems like they lived alone, and he had to look after her.I think she may have been bed-ridden. The boy goes outside, however, and it seems like he meets a girl in a gazebo.and they start being girlfriend and boyfriend. The teenager has dark hair. It seems to me the movie had a lot of sexual undertones, and there is once scene where the mother almost discovers the boy masturbating in the bathroom.
Result: O. Henry's Full House (1952) anthology film with some of the author's most-famous stories: "The Cop and the Anthem", "The Clarion Call", "The Last Leaf", "The Ransom of Red Chief", and "The Gift of the Magi" (the one you recall) Farley Granger and Jeanne Crain are the couple in "The Gift of the Magi". Of special interest is the first segment, in which a gentleman (Charles Laughton) chats with a pretty streetwalker (Marilyn Monroe, who would break through to stardom the following year in "Niagara").

Result: The Gift Of The Magi (1958) One of the versions possibly the 1958 TV movie. one of the myriad adaptations of the O'Henry tale, He sold his watch to buy her a tortoise shell comb for her beautiful hair, she sold her hair to buy him a fob for his heirloom watch. There have been too many TV shorts playing it, or using it as a theme, and it has been spoofed admirably as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_of_the_Magi is a place to start looking for specific adaptations. starring Gordon MacRae, Sally Ann Howes, Bea Arthur, narrated by Eli Wallach.There are other TV movies with this title, but this one fits the time frame of the 1960s. Thanx Midnight Creeper, fishrockcarving, malcam, Troy. Jun 12, 2009
the movie is in black and white i believe, and i dont know the actor or actress in the film.The main plot of the story is, Its about a couple that is in love. Each of them buys the other a gift for their anniversary of which the gift has no use, because each sacrificed something for each others gift, I remember the man bought his wife a hair piece for her long hair, of which she sold for money to buy her husband a gift. and a similar thing happened with the husband. the gift she bought had no use also, because he sold something of his for her.Its seems the gift she bought him was a watch (but not positive) I think i saw the movie when i was in my teens which would have been in the 60s. I saw it on TV (This is an O. Henry story - me)

I was about 12 or 13 when i seen this movie, which was in tha years around either 2005 or 2004. and the movie was kinda old when i seen it then. i seen it on the television. it was in color. but the quality wasnt the best, thats why i know it was a "new film" i know the movie was about a bunch of teenagers at a summer camp. i remember clearly that one of the girl was kind of a slut and was a bitch to all the other girls, because she was very proud of her early developed breasts and she was also sleeping with one of the boys at camp.i think the movie even had the word "camp" in it, but im not sure.

The movie I am looking for was a scary movie filmed in colorthat came out in theatres sometime around the early 1980's. I remember the movie was made up of several short stories and each of them started out on a comic book page. The camera then panned into the drawing and the particular story would start. One was of a man that touched a fallen meteor rock with his index and middle finger. The rock was filled with a green goo, and later the man started growing grass on his two fingers and eventually became a grass monster. Another story was of a couple that burried someone in the sand at the beach(up to his/her neck) and had the tide water slowly drowned the person. Said drownee later comes back as a sand monster and seeks revenge. Another story was of a hairy monster that was locked away in a chest. The chest was located in a brightly lit hallway of some sort. The monster made the sound of a sweet little cheeping bird that was meant to enticed anyone walking by to open the chest. The creature devoured anyone that dared venture to peep. My recollection of the movie is a little fuzzy, I was only 3 or 4 when I saw it.

Lovecraft type of film. I saw it in the 90`s.prob about mid 90s or so. All I have to go on is a scene from the film that has stuck with me all the way to now.Group of people (female included) go down into some kind of underground place ( i think under a building ) there are alot of bones/decaying corpses scattered around. They seem to be looking for a friend that they do indeed find.a black guy with a mustashe that had his brain removed through the back of his head (aka you can see behind him through his eyes). The brain is deposited in the belly of a bat like thing that seems to have a set of vocal cords for an ass.he says something to the group but I dont remember what.it was a double feature with the film `From Beyond`.
Result: Ghost Story (1981) with Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and John Houseman. It's one of the perennial "What was that movie?" questions because *everyone* remembers the scene with the car, but the rest of the movie kinda sucks and so it's easily forgotten. The film is based on Peter Straub's novel, which is much better, especially because Eva/Alma isn't a ghost, a twist as used in "Poltergeist", which is about ghosts instead of a "noisy spirit".

I saw a TV movie some years ago (20? more?) about four young drunk college men who go out with a beautiful drunken woman and believe that somehow she has died while with them. They decide to leave her in the car and push the car into the lake. At the last moment before the car submerges, they see her screaming for help out the back window.Switch to present day, these four men are back together and meeting when they discover that she is visiting them one by one. Excellent horror film.The four men were played by important actors at the end of their career, I believe that one was Lew Ayres. Would LOVE to recommend that picture to someone, cannot think of the name.

The 2006 film is a remake of the movie "Kairo" aka "Pulse". Thanx Midnight Creeper, MystMoonstruck, Angie, Geoff, MystMoonstruck. Jun 12, 2009
Anyway this is about a horrible computervirus - it does something to the computer and a couple of days later people find the owner of the computer dead. I remember some kind of monsters - it's a ghost or something like that, it flickers like a tv-screen. Anyway I remember a scene where a guy sees this ghost and then jumps under the bed or sth, but when he looks out the ghost is inches away from his face and screams at him. He starts screaming aswell and I think he dies from it.I remember a scene later in the movie where a woman and a man finds out that if they get out of the tech radius (cell phone, electric and stuff) they won't get harassed by the ghosts. But they keep driving away and suddenly the phone gets a signal and two ghosts emerge on the roof of their car.

I think the film is from the 90's or early 00's. I believe they are college students, possible british. They go to a cellar in the middle of the woods and eventually die one by one. There is one girl with shoulder length dark hair that lives and the end of the movie is like a video documentary of her and she's crazy. The crazy girl was plotting this trip in the cellar so she could get close to a guy, but he's popular. I think she and one of her other male friends may have killed them off but I'm not sure.

I am looking for a movie from 70's-80's I think in color, I would guess it was an American film. I first saw it on cable TV in New York when I was maybe 10-15, I was born in 1981. It’s about a girl who is told by a boy at school (high school) that she is a witch. He is trying to convince her she really has powers but she doesn't believe him at first. There is another girl who is bad who one is also and I think that she thinks she and the bad witch are destined/supposed to fight. They both have scars on one of their hands and the boy tells the good witch that the bad witch told him it’s a mark of power and the good witch says that she got hers when she slammed her hand in a car door when she was three, I think. Good witch has long dark hair, bad witch has shorter hair. Good witch practices her telekinetic powers with boy at an old barn near a lake/pond I think. There is a fight at the end between the good and the bad witch where they use their telekinesis to fight each other. I think that the bad witch's mother might kill her at the end.

I saw this movie in the late 70's but i cant remember if it was in black or white. It was about a bunch of people gathered to a mansion to find a treasure. Some of the clues given were "ships" "kings". one scene has a woman smashing a wooden ship and then being grabbed from behind. another scene has two people fighting over a ceramic king and it falls and breaks. the way that the treasure is found is that there is a painting of a chess set on the wall right next to a window with crossbars. at a certain time of day, the shadow of bars falls across the floor in the shape of a chessboard and you had to stand on the space that corresponds with the same space in the painting where the king chess piece is.

One scene I remember vividly is the teens setting up a trap and it was a pit with a bunch of spears in the bottom of it.

I saw this movie a couple years ago on DVD. Unfortunately i cant give a time frame for the film as it seemed new but may have been filmed to look old. Possibly supposed to have taken place in the 70's but i could be wrong. It was in color. A group of camper/hikers (go figure) arrive on i believe an island. Not a tropical one, pine trees and cold/wet looking. They happen upon this cabin,no ones home but someone obviously lives there. They put on a record and start dancing. One girl goes downstairs and finds something disturbing in a baby crib. The people come home and insist they stay but the people are real religious and some of the campers are obnoxious. I think they had a hot daughter that the dudes wanted to bone. I remeber there were a couple younger kids too. i remember a kid pushed some chick in a swing over a cliff and killed her.

She hallucinated that she woke up looking huge, in a polka dotted dress, being used as a baby breeder like other women in the hospital room. I remember seeing a scene of the woman viewing herself in a mirror and being just horrified that she was so big she could barely move. Then, some nurses came in and began tickling her which she protested, but the nurses got upset and told her they were under command to tickle all the pregnant women for exercise.After that, the woman would just keep going in and out of consciousness.

The movie im looking for was probably released in the mid to late 90's. The synopsis of the story is basically a young teenage couple deal with surviving street life. I think they were supposed to be white trash or something. The young girl gets pregnant and seems to change the course of the life they had thought they would have. It's obviously a drama but i think it was an indie too. The main characters were played by unknowns.pretty attractive unknowns. I wish i had more to go based on.I do remember this really intense scene where the young boy was talking to his.guardian.i think it was his biological father but they didnt seem that close.any way they were talking about life and the boy was saying some really intelligent things like he had a lifetime of experience to guide the rest of life.it also aired on a hbo channel at one point.

The film itself is mainly a dialogue between 3 people - a woman, who is a scientist, a man from politics, and a friend of his. I believe he is a poet. They meet in some distant area, and talk about life and physics. Some ideas remind "what the blip do we know". I just remember a few lines - -Thats poetry!-It's physics.Oh and they talked about how earth is similar to orange.

I'm trying to find the title of a movie from the early to mid 80's. The plot, as best I can recall, centers around a father and his 2 sons. The oldest is probably around 13, the younger b/w 8-10 maybe.If memory serves, the oldest child and father are at ends. Anyway, the oldest boy would always climb out on a tree branch overlooking a cliff. Towards the end of the movie the branch breaks and the boy falls. I believe he ends up paralyzed. I thought the older child in the movie was either the child who stared in Over The Top or The Toy, but I was wrong.

I believe I saw this movie on TV in the afternoon in the seventies. I think it was black and white. Keywords for it would be Kitten, meat hook, chinese (or asian) and school girls. Here is what I recall about it:A young girl has either an older male cousin or older male brother who is a detective. She tries to help him solve murders by leaving him notes which she signs "Kitten." He doesn't know that the letters are coming from someone he knows. The murders that are taking place I think are being done at some sort of boarding school for girls which I think Kitten is attending. I recall there being a scene where there are bodies hung on meat hooks. And I recall another scene where "Kitten" is in some large dark room with lots of boxes (a warehouse?) and there are several other girls also in the room. One of the bad people in the movie is trying to find Kitten in the room and the other girls (who are all Asian) are in the room acting as decoys in order to help Kitten escape. So, the killer will grab a girl and discover it isn't Kitten and let her go and then continue to keep trying to find Kitten.It seems like one of the bad people is an older Asian woman and the other bad person is a large (perhaps fat) man and he is the one who does the killing.I don't think the murders are for sport. I think they are done to cover up some sort of crime involving shipments of some sort (which would explain the warehouse scene) and the victim (or victims) on the meat hooks were killed because they found out the truth about for what the boarding school was being used as a front.

The team sent for training are captured and placed in cages, they are brutally tortured. Two of the captured soldiers escape and make it to the pick up point. The last thing I remember is the leader of the "bad team" is standing in front of the two escapees, and the female puts a bullet in his forehead.

I remember seeing a movie that was released either in the mid to late 1970's or the early 1980's that took place in the south (Maybe Georgia or Alabama). It was about a killer who would bury the dead bodies in the back yard. I believe that the title only consisted of either one or two words. The movie tends to focus on the local sheriff as he tries to figure out who the killer is and where the bodies are buried.

I remember a movie similar to this, may have been a remake. It was late 80's and I think it was Kurt Russel's wife who goes missing as they are traveling and he stopped at a quikie mart-place and was inquiring about the choc bars or the hand made bracelets. A little girl made the bracelets and her and the wife were being held by the same man. He finds them and beats the captor, etc. etc.

Result: Journey To The Unknown Matakitas Is Coming segment of TV anthology series starring Vera Miles From IMDb: Criminologist June Wiley is in a library researching old murder cases. She is fascinated by the case of a strange man named Matakitas, hanged in 1927 for strangling women - including a librarian. He defended himself at his trial by claiming he had 'The Devil's dispensation'. When June tries to leave, she finds she is locked in, along with librarian Sylvia Ann. Phoning the police, she discovers that it is now 1927. Smashing the glass in a barred window, she sees old cars and people in period dress outside. While the trapped women mull over their predicament, they have another awful surprise in store: Locked in with them is the madman Matakitas! Thanx MystMoonstruck. Jun 25, 2009
Movie - color - most likely from the '80s (maybe the '90s). The main character is a librarian who is finishing up her work after the library is closed. Something happens like a book falling on the ground open to a page with certain information that sparks the librarian's attention. It is a murder? mystery and she thinks that she's being helped by an entity in the library to solve it. She keeps finding clues in different books, microfiche etc. The clues lead her on, but at the end we find out its a trap. The thing she should be scared of is the entity in the library who was killed in the library in the 1940's and the only way she can come back to life is for someone to 'take her place'. At the end, the 1940's librarian is the 'new' librarian, and someone comments to her that she's very proficient. She replies something like 'i've had a lot of practice/experience." At one point, the main character/victim tries to call her boyfriend for help but they get cut off.

I saw this film on TV when i was around 8/11. It would've been between 1997 and 2001. It was colour and I think it was channel 5. I seem to recall a family (possibly mother, father and young daughter) moving into a house and weird things started happening, such as weird things with the electricity. The mum put a bowl of milk on the doorstep, saying to the girl it was for the gnomes. later on in the film blood started swirling in the bowl and splattered in the girl's face. Also the girl found a potdoll that started talkin to her. I also remember an older man (who was possibly i think was trying to detect any ghostly presence) The parents had invited him to the house to try and explain the weird happenings. While he was looking around, knives started flying around the room and they all drop to the floor.

Sci-fi/horror? I'm trying to find this movie,possibly Early 80's?Was set in a desert like scene. There were androids that looked and acted human. I think there were 4 or 5 people (some robots, some not) working in an oil station. I do remember that there was a giant lifter robot in a scrap heap that was used as a heavy lifter, being used by remote to pick up large pipes, it was used briefly near the end. I also remember at the end one of the robots was trapped under metal girders that fell and ripped off the lower part of its body, and dragged it self on the ground. I'm pretty sure the giant lifitng robot featured on the cover art.

I realise this is an oldie but I saw a black and white movie in the early '70's which was classed as a horror movie and probably made in the '50's. Set in the U.S. I think, the 'baddies' were these very tall crystal structures that grew up out of the earth (or was it the marshes) and crashed down on houses and people, causing all manner of destruction. I can't remember much more, except that the good folk may have solved the problem of these strange growing towers with salt water? I saw this as a very young child and have always wondered about it as I have watched many late night black & whites since and have never seen it again.

I think this movie is from the late 80's to early 90's. There is a group of children (~4-5, a black child maybe wearing a blue shirt, a girl, and 2 or 3 white kids) alone in a house who play a record backwards and/or read a book which ends up summoning different monsters. The horror scenes are represented in pictures from the book/record cover. One of them has a kid fall into a hole in the backyard and little blue monsters cut off his leg. Another scene has a humanoid monster inside the wall which grabs a child and pulls him into the wall. One of the boys runs to the closet to get a BB gun and gets attacked by the monster that comes out of the wall. During the climax the remaining kids read the book/cover and realize they need a human sacrifice to make the monsters go away.

There was a movie that I saw on TV when I was probably 6 or 7 (born in 81). Its probably late 70's or early 80's. I didn't get to watch very much of it because my mom said it was too scary for me and turned the channel. I can remember a guy having to wrap up some kind of infant/creature thing in a blanket and he was trying to protect it from being killed. I remember he runs with the creature and hides in a tunnel. I know that's not very much, but that scene has stuck with me all those years. It was in color also.

Between 1974-1979, I saw a color t.v. special after school that had a young blonde boy with an old man teacher/mentor that told stories of a witch. The boy then went to a cemetery/mosaleum and raised the witch from the dead. The end conflict had the witch with a lit candle in the shape of a hand, that rendered a person motionless. The old mentor/teacher fell for the witch's taunting and turned around, looked at the candle and could not move. The boy did not fall for the witch's taunting, and thru a reflection or something was able to stop her, revive the old man, and return the witch to her tomb.The revived witch bursting out of the tomb doors, and the witch's taunting was very scary as a young boy.

Unsure of the actual plot but the movie was made between 1979 and 1990. All I remember is a family moves into a house with a painting in the attic and i think the painting is possessed. Their neighbor (middleaged woman) cuts her finger on the frame of the painting and a few days later she's dying mysteriously and no one can figure out why. Also I remember a scene where someone was sticking their hand into a garbage disposal and even though they taped the switch in the off position, it starts attempting to flip itself on.

I saw this movie between the years of 93 and 95 i may be wrong. It was on tv in color, possibly set in a foreign coountry during a depression. Some of the key scenes i remember are about a boy who hides a pornographic magazine in the bathroom and takes a peice of raw meat and cuts a hole in it to perform sex. Also another scene was a teenage girl in a rundown building with a line of young boys who she is charging to have them look down her panties. And last but not least a scene where a male actor eats the raw peice of meat the young boy put back in the fridge. i beleive with subtitles.

I remember loving this movie when I was in elementary school, so it was probably made in the very late 1980s or early- to mid-90s. I remember it more by feel than anything else, so I apologize if this is vague. It was a major motion picture, not an indie movie. The plot had something to do with a few kids making friends with a monster, a sea monster, I think, that lived in a lake near their house maybe. It may not even have been a monster, but if it was a regular animal, it was very intelligent and had mythical qualities. It probably died at the end. The cover of the VHS tape had a picture of the animal's eye through some kind of keyhole or porthole.

I saw this movie as a little girl on tv when I stayed home sick from school. It would have been late 80's or early 90's. I remember a teenage girl leaving for school in conservative clothing, then changing into provocative clothes (maybe a black and red striped belly shirt?) once she got to school, away from her parents. There was a seen where a bunch of teens are in a haunted house, where one's boyfriend seems to be lying dead in a coffin. The other girls slide down these slides to leave the house, but end up dying? I think someone blocked the ends of the slides. Then the final seen is the girl and the guy from the coffin talking. I think it insinuates he put the block up at the end of the tubed slides? I have no idea if this was a show or movie.

I watched this movies in the 80's and after 1983 (when I was born). I swear Mary Steenburgen is the main female lead in the movie, but have found no movie to such avail. A mother is taking a shower while her children (blond girl and boy ages 6-8) play outside in the yard on their swing set. She gets out and they are gone! I believe she finds her daughter's doll near some water (lake?) and assumes the kids have drowned (not sure about this). An older, male neighbor has taken the kids and has them locked inside his house. Somehow the mother finds out. In the end are on the roof-it is dark, raining-and the neighbor(kidnapper)falls off the roof and dies (not sure about this either).

Result: Cold Comfort (1989) with Paul Gross and Mauray Chaykin, except it's a snowstorm. Thanx Alli . Apr 17, 2010
I think this is a 1980s or 1990s American film. It's a colored movie. There is this guy who's driving in the woods and there is a big storm. He crashes his car and has to find shelter. He comes across this cabin/cottage in the woods where this old man lives with this young, beautiful woman. I think they are a couple. But the man and this young girl are attracted to each other. But they are both scared of the older man, because he's crazy! I do remember a few scenes. The one scene is where this guy is living/sleeping in the basement and he hears the couple upstairs having sex, so he does EVERYTHING he can to drown out the sound. So he's doing push-ups and sit-ups to try stay focused. The other scene is the old man is out in the woods somewhere either chopping wood or hunting and this stranded guy is outside taking a shower in the cottage's outside shower and the girl finds him there. That's pretty much all I can remember. I think I saw it on Lifetime, but I can't be sure. It's a thriller/drama/Romance movie. Also, it's raining THE ENTIRE MOVIE!. And I think the man is staying at the house until the rain stops and he can go get help.

I believe she dies, but remember a scene where she staggers around holding her head after the fall.
