Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
There seems to be a trashy spanish adaptation from 1977 in which they go to the lost world through a cave, and that there was some kind of magic cave as the connection is one thing I remember quite well.
I found it online and those "kids" are actually just a hotblooded young man any an easily scared damsel in constant distress, but it does seem to be the one. The effects are just as I remember.
Amazing, I think this is one of the oldest memories I have.We are not standing on the shoulders of giants, but on very tall tower of other dwarves.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
When I was very young, I saw a fantasy movie that I absolutely loved, but I can't remember very much about it now. I mostly just remember that there was a boat, and that one of the characters (possibly the main character) was in love with a medusa, who didn't turn people to stone because of special sunglasses. I also vaguely remember unicorns being involved somehow, although that may not actually be the case. Help?

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
I think you're talking about 12:01 pm. Though there are different versions of this. Lemme see if there's a video link or something...
BOOM! Found the whole freakin' film! I think this is the version you want, because this is the one I like. He doesn't figure it out in the end... just stays stuck in the loop forever.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
I've seen that one many years ago. I don't really remember anything, except that I think it was quite good.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Except that Emmerask says it's not 12:01.
I suspect it might be Limbo, but I can't find a trailer or clip of the film anywhere.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Cool thread...
I once saw a movie consisting a series of possible scenarios about the last hours of a man on death row before his execution via lethal injection: his last meal, his last night, his conversations with the prison warden, etc. In one scenario he was broken and pathetic, in another he was angry and violent, in another he was an assh0le trying to piss off the warden and the guards, and so on. (I didn't see all of it, but I presume he faced his impending death with dignity in the last scenario.)
Being staunchly opposed to the death penalty, I thought it was an interesting concept. Now I just wish I could remember the name of the film.Last edited by -Sentinel-; 2012-10-08 at 11:19 PM.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
This wasn't exactly long ago, but I actually didn't catch the title of the movie.
Anyways, it was about this boy. He had a younger brother. And at some point, he is driving and they crash and the younger boy dies. After this, the older boy works in the cemetery, and apparently he can still see his dead brother. And he stays with him and keeps him company. Then he sees a girl and they really do get along great. She wants to sail a boat, but there's this storm, and apparently she's a ghost, but the guy can still save her, and he has to choose between keeping a promise to his dead brother or saving the girl.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
I can't recall the name of this, but I am betting someone here does. An 80s comedy, where a group of high school/early collage? aged kids end up in a scavenger hunt at night (I think) around a large US city. I have a vague recollection of a scene in an RV, one in a diner, and another in a glass outdoor elevator. Probably not overly popular, since I can't recall seeing it on TV when there was the massive 80s replays, but I can vaguely remember liking it, and I want to know the name.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
No, that is not it. I would remember the crypt keeper! I still whistle that little ditty from his show. Oh, funnily enough I remember an episode where a black widower was marrying old women or their bank accounts, an poisoning them off. Their zombies all came back and divvied up his body. I use to have nightmares about that!
... Crap.
<_< anyway. One of the big points was the burning in the beginning, and the phrase "no one can help". But google doesn't help with those...

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Alright, so... there was this one, movie? It was about a race.
There were these two daredevils, and one was called like, Wesley or something, and the othe was Professor Fate (Professor Fate was awesome). And they did this race around the world, except there were more people, and it was like three hours long, and at one point they got stuck on an iceberg and at another point they were held captive inside an Eastern European castle, and a cake fight happened in there somewhere, along with an old-west saloon brawl that was just awesome.
And the romance was kinda lame, and also at the end the Eiffel Tower got explodes. This movie was my childhood, guys. My childhood.
Professor Fate++

Ceika is a beautiful, wonderful person. The avatar was made by his/her great talent, and depending on his/her sex and sexuality, I either have a giant crush or a totally appropriate liking for him/her.

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Oh, I saw it. I think my grandmother had a crush on Jack Lemmon, considering how many of his movies she liked to watch... I think I can still quote "The Odd Couple". I can picture several scenes from "Under the Yum Yum Tree" and "How to Murder your Wife", amoung others...

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Nice stab, but no. That was awesome though.
Ok the first one was these guys that pull up in a van to a guy grilling hamburgers. The guy says..."mmmmm, sounds like somebody's having a hamburger party."
They later open the sliding door of the van and proceed to try to convince the guy to "put the hamburgers in the aquarium, now!" (the aquarium is behind the sliding door, empty)
At one point they also say, "ooooo, college boy, you must know all about ecomics". Mispronounced accurately.
The second video was about a witch who turned people into things, and I believe was animated. The witch turns this guy into a whale, and he starts gasping for breath and saying..."why am I a whale?!"

Re: "I Saw This Movie One Time, Years Ago...."
Here's a few:
1) A manga, early 2000's I think, set in a girls middle or high school. The plot is about a group of girls who are elected to wear this kind of living hat that looks like a frog. The hats turn the girls hair into drill like things that they use to fight the monster of the week.
2) A psycho thriller/slasher/horror film. The only scene I remember is the villain taking of the top of a guys skull and slicing off a piece of his brain which he then fries in a pan while a girl watches.
3) A horror novel where a boy gets a corneal transplant and ends up being able to see into other peoples minds and make their worst fear a reality.
4) A zombie horror comedy where there are these slug like things that invade peoples bodies through their ears/mouth/nose/what have you. Has a guy with crutches as the best friend of the protagonist. Scene I remember is when the guy on crutches goes into a public restroom and one of the slug things pops up from somewhere; the guy uses a book of matches to set the slug thing on fire.

I'm guessing Hannibal, starring Anthony Hopkins.
