I remember when i was younger this movie was on HBO that was awesome and I can tell you the plot, but i can't to seem to come up with the title... it was a horror / thriller

Some lady is telling this story from jail, to a cop..she has a very raspy voice, and constantly smoking cigarettes and its set in some hick town (mid westish i believe).. they are i think looking for some type of treasure .. or are grave robbers not sure.. i distintcly remember some special ring significance in the movie while this dude was in the general store..?

I clearly remember one scene a man is tossed into a lake with a cinderblock tied to him with a chain, and then the toss him a pocket knife so he needs to either cut his own leg off or drown

then the movie ends with them in a graveyard and they end up getting locked in a mousoleum.. i'll never forget this movie .. but i really wish that i remember the name of it.. could of possibly been a tales from the crypt but i really don't think so maybe.. any ideas ? 😮

The movie is called "The Grave" made in 1996

Help please!!!! Looking for a movie. All I can remember is that it is set in London, it begins with an American girl looking the wrong way on a street and getting hit by a car. A guy takes her to the hospital and then brings her home. He falls for her and after she leaves he tries to find her, but her discovers that everything she told him about herself was made up. I thought that it was Jude Law and Natalie Portman, but that is not right according to IMDB. Does this ring a bell with anyone?????

It sounds a lot like the opening scene of Closer, which stars Jude Law and Natalie Portman. Might be a different movie you are talking about, though.

hmmm, might be, I will have to go back and check though.

Thanks 😄

Okay I have a couple...

The first is a fairly recent movie (like since 2000), and I never saw it but I remember from the commercials that it was about a hotel room, and the people inside turn on the TV and start seeing these violent videos taped in a hotel room. Then they realize that the room on TV is the same room they are staying in. I think there were two movies like this released around the same time actually, or maybe within a few years.

Next is a movie I remember seeing on Sci-Fi channel in the day time. A guy does extraterrestrial research out of his house, and a little black neighborhood kid always come over and helps him. They discover aliens (or something), and then they find out there's a big conspiracy (maybe), and in the end they end up at this observatory in the desert (or something). The guy realizes that the boy was an alien all along, and as he stands on top of the builing (or maybe it was a satellite dish), he tells the boy to go back and tell the aliens that he knows about them. The boys legs bend backwards like a chicken's legs, and he runs off into the desert.

Finally, a movie I have never seen anything for but my mom used to tell me about it. All I know is that a woman travels through time into the past, and the air is so pure compared to what she is used to in the future that she has to chain smoke.

I think these are what your looking for:
Vacancy
The Arrival
Millennium

Three for three. Good job.

I am trying to think of a mummy movie/tv show. I believe it to be from either the 80's or early to mid 90's. It is about a group of kids I believe that resurrect a mummy. When the mummy comes back to life he kills one of the kids by sticking and instrument up his nose and moving it around to scramble and remove the kids brain. This IS NOT "Creep Course" from Tales from the Crypt. I thought it was, but upon further research found it was very similar, but not what I am thinking of.

It might be Tales from the Darkside the Movie: Lot 249.

I'm looking for a late 1960's to perhaps late 1970's horror film, possibly a made for TV. It has a guy with a black hood terrorizing a lady and two kids. They spot him in the backyard and when the lady goes out it's just a dummy. Scared the poop out of me as a kid.

i watched this movie a few years ago.. it never came out in theatres or anything. a man went into the hospital to have some routine procedure, and they get him mixed up with someone else. the whole movie is him stuck in this hospital with some wing of it that's either haunted or something else bad. the nurse in the movie has a huge tattoo of a tree on her back, and at the end of the movie, you find out that the guy was in a coma the whole time, and the only way for all the bad stuff that's happening to him to stop is if he dies in his comatose world, making him die in life too. it was pretty nuts. anyone have any clue what i'm talking about?

I am trying to figure out the name of a movie I watched a few years back. It was a "classic" from the the 70's sometime. The main story line was this. A government office, FBI, CIA, ATF, etc..., hires a famous, or well known race car driver, who drives on dirt tracks to drive for them while the try to catch men running whiskey in the mountains, as none of government men can keep up with the runners. They give him a supped up car and the chase is on!! I thought the star (race car driver) was Beau Bridges but after a thurough search I found it not so. This movie runs in the group of WW and the Dixie Dance Kings and Gator, only no Burt Reynolds. Any ideas anyone? Also any recommendations of movies of this type from the mid 70's back would be greatly appreciated, so I can watch them too!

There is a movie that is pretty recent with in the last few years I think that wasn't ever popular, I saw it on on demand. It starts out as a hot girl blonde I think, marries some Italian guy and he owns a bar and is very wealthy, and she has a dream and wants to be famous and make a movie and be on tv. She gets a job with a local public broadcasting news tv station, and eventually is allowed to do the weather. She makes a film with highschool kids and one of them falls in love with her, he is like a poor kid very slow in the head. They have lots of sex, and she convinces him to kill her husband so they can be together, and the teens kill her husband and they get the blame and the girl gets her fame on tv and goes free.
What is this movie!!!>>> its driving me nuts!?

The movie is "To Die For" starring Nicole Kidman

K this movie is driving me nuts. It is a little kids movie (cartoon). I think it is from the late 80's early 90's but i'm not positive.

It starts out where this little girl and her grandpa i think are driving down a road. The little girl has with her a puppy. (it is raining outside i believe). The trucks stops and of course the puppy jumps out without the two even noticing. They find out later by lifting up a hat or something that was covering his bed.

Anyways in the morning the once the puppy wakes up i believe he meets up with these rabbits. The rabbits are trying to get him to eat i think so they are trying to feed him carrots. They start singing or something but then the hawk comes and they all run away.

After the while the puppy starts to get sick because he can't live of carrots so the bunnies have to carry somewhere someone will find him to get him home. But before they get there i think the hawk comes back and threatens to harm one of the bunnies so the puppy has to get up enough energy to save them, then they finally get him back up to the road. Then of course the little girl and the old man come back to find him right where they stopped the night previously.

PLLLZZZZ does anyone know lol. its is tearing me up inside. I used to watch it alll the time when i was a kid.
