A tooth has to be pulled because it contains a transmitter that's giving away the position of the tooth's owner...

That's all I have to go by. Can anybody please help me? I'm going bonkers from not knowing!

Reward: Providing an orgasm-like sense of revelation for me and my friends!

Teeth pulling supremo in The Marathon Man,

Now you've helped them, help me.
I saw a film as a kid about a high school or something and it had these two 'stoner' guys who were obsessed with horror films and gore. At one point they fooled a teacher into thinking they were all zombies or something (its all a bit foggy) using their make-up expertise. Also, they held a class showing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre discussing its merits and such.
Please help, as I want to see it again, I think it was pretty shit, but, nostalgia y'know?

It was Summer School.

That movie paved the way for the movies that shaped my life. Ski School 1 and 2. I gave them to my parents so they could better understand me and my needs.

Section 8!

Johnny Mother

18:54 / 01.11.01

I'm a fucking moron for not knowing that.
Anyway, thanks Traz, you're now considered a God in my house.

According to IMDB, if I liked that, I'd like Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit...hmmmmm..

Ok then does anyone know this one?

Back in the seventies when I was but a small child my parents took me to see the film AIRPLANE. Now being the seventies there were things called b movies that were shown with the main feature. With AIRPLANE there was a film in much the same style about a werewulf. All I can remember about it was that the warewulf keeps on stealing doggy biscuits from old ladies handbags at the local corner shop.
Anyone else remember this or can tell me what it was called its been bugging me for years.

Here's one that's bothered me for years. As a kid in the '70's with my folks out for the night, I, of course, turned on a horror movie they wouldn't let me watch if they were home. It was about a house which didn't want a woman to leave the house (or something like that). Anyone trying to get her to leave the house gets killed. Somebody dies in a car which gets crushed by the gates to the house, one guy gets boiled alive in the swimming pool. The woman takes a shower and blood comes out of the showerhead (that one had me creeped out in the shower for months). Anybody have any idea what movie this is?

Bear

07:50 / 02.11.01

Last one there sounds kinda like the Ametiville (bad spelling) - but I can't really remember its the only film that actually scared me when I was young (well that and birds) and havn't watched it again since, although might get the courage to buy it, its out on DVD soon

Fra Dolcino

07:50 / 02.11.01

Wasn't Demon Seed, starring Julie Christie was it?

See here

There was also a shitty Tv movie that I can't fucking remember the name of now (I'tll bug me all weekend you bastards!), but basically a modern home that was computer controlled got struck by lightning and terrorised the woman occupant. There's one bit when she's trying to get something out of the waste disposal and the house switches it on. Someone please save my sanity and give us the name of it, I'm licking the walls!

Ah man i know the one you mean just cant remember the name !

I'm looking for it now....

Bear

07:50 / 02.11.01

I think this was the one I had in mind..

Ghost in the Machine

Fra Dolcino

10:04 / 02.11.01

YEEESSSSS!

Thanks! I can get on with my weekend unhindered! (by the way how did you find it on IBMD? I been searching for ages)

It still begs the question, are any of these films the one you mean,Ofermod?

Bear

10:15 / 02.11.01

I remember watching it and I remember it had Ghost in the title - if i hadn't we would have both been commited to the special ward

rizla mission

11:47 / 02.11.01

I remember seeing a film when I was small that started off as a ET type affair about some kids who built a rocket-ship out of junk, and when they take off they immediately get pulled in by the tractor-beam of a big alien spacecraft, and most of the rest of the film consists of some nutty psychedelic stuff where they hang out with a big slimy green alien and listen to disco and eat junk-food and get attacked by some space pirates .. or something.

Bear

12:06 / 02.11.01

Aww damn I know this one too - the kids get to space in a kinda force field bubble type thing that they put they're ship in - I remember the bubble smashing around they're garage and them getting into the big space ship and watching Buggs Bunny.. I remember watching it at my grannies - Rizla !!

Regrettable Juvenilia

12:11 / 02.11.01

I remember it too - they meet an alien who talks only in stuff he's seen on the telly, right? Like Wreck-Gar.

Bear

12:17 / 02.11.01

Yup thats the one ! - I will not be beat !

Sax

12:21 / 02.11.01

Blimey, you kids. Whatever happened to all those nice Ealing comedies?

Bear

12:32 / 02.11.01

HA - got it :

Explorers

Directed by Joe Dante of Gremlins fame, and check out the actors

Bear

12:33 / 02.11.01

I'm getting quite good at this - think people would pay?

could start a website charging people and also sneakly throw film quotes on billboards and ask people to try and remember the movie

rizla mission

12:38 / 02.11.01

"Hey fucker, i wrote all those Fighting Fantasy books, and I have a 'gang'! Don't mess with me!"

Ofermod

19:52 / 02.11.01

Hmm....the one I'm thinking of definitely isn't Amityville Horror (I grew up near the real house from that one), Demon Seed doesn't seem quite right, actually the other movie that Fra can't think of the name of sounds closer. But I'm thinking Demon Seed looks worth a rental.

Bear

12:08 / 14.11.01

I've got one - it was a film based in Bosnia (I think) - Most of the action takes place in a tunnel, group of men trapped inside.. think it was on Channel 4 last year, think its quite famous also.. Anyone know - sorry I can't really remember much more but if you've seen it you'll remember....

Lots of insults being shouted both ways, oh yeah and there was a reporter stuck with them in the tunnel and a couple of older guys...

Fra Dolcino

12:19 / 19.11.01

'Lepa sela lepo gore'? Kids who play round a tunnel, meet on opposite sides later on in life. I don't remember the Journalist, though ('Welcome to Sarajevo' perhaps?).

what was the other Bosnian film called that followed a general who was committing war crimes?

The Return Of Rothkoid

13:15 / 19.11.01

Right. I've got a film that's been bugging the shit out of me for years. It's like a "when husband goes crazy!" kind of flick: I think a wife and her lover are locked into a series of wooden tunnels that insane hubby has made in their house while wife and new man were knocked out after he sprung them. Or something. At one point, anyway, I seem to remember the husband shepherding them through the maze by setting bits of it on fire.

I have a vision of Michael Douglas in it, but I think that could be War Of The Roses interference.

Any clues? I've been unable to remember this since seeing a bit of it on TV when I was at university...

Bear

13:18 / 19.11.01

Sounds like a TV movie that was on a couple of weeks ago, same kind of plot, I think it was buried alive 2 or something, I didnt watch it but does that name ring any bells?

Bear

13:22 / 19.11.01

Ok here's the plot -

Buried Alive 2

Or maybe the first one

I'm probably well off.....

Jack Vincennes

10:57 / 03.08.05

There was a film a few years ago -I think it would have been 2000 / 2001 kind of time -which was a western based on The Mayor Of Casterbridge. I had thought it was called The Kingdom, but a search for that on imdb isn't turning up the film I saw... anyone know what it's called? The characters were called different names (as far I remember) but the plot was almost exactly the same.

I'm pretty sure it featured horses on fire running through as stream at some point in the narrative. Which is clearly not from Hardy.

Eloi Tsabaoth

11:01 / 03.08.05

The Claim.

On reflection you could have typed 'Thomas Hardy' into the search function...

Jack Vincennes

11:04 / 03.08.05

My thanks! And there I was thinking that no-one would know...
