Topic: Help me remember two films from my youthPosted By: Marty McFly
Subject: Help me remember two films from my youth
Date Posted: September 16 2011 at 04:30
I am 1989, I saw that film probably in 97-99, possible up to 01. It's really weighting my mind, so I would like to free myself of this lost memory and know what this film was.
Some clues:
1)It was animated 2)There were machines (vacuum cleaner, oven I think ...) that could talk, had consciousness. 3)They traveled across the country/state/city to get somewhere 4)It was full length movie, nothing amateurish
Second one:
1)I saw it on TV in 00-03 2)It was sci-fi 3)It started in a prison, where our "hero" was getting pardon for taking a very strange mission 4)He and few others (8?) traveled to "strangely abandoned moon/planet with military base there 5)They found no one there, but something slowly started to kill them one by one 6)One of the was the monster
All about this was really screaming B MOVIE.
Have a good luck, better than me. Knowing this isn't to live or to die matter for me, but I would really like to success in KNOWING after all these years.

i love the brave litle toaster, a genious underrated movie that nobody cares about, a bit psycho though the movie is.
2nd movie maybe Serenity?????!!!!!!

Yeah, you get the first one right, now it's time to see how psycho it actually is, after all this time.
Anyway, certainly not serenity. You know, S. is a very favourite movie of mine (serving as "conclusion of prematurely abrupt tv series) and there are differences.
Stick to points, even though I don't remember the name, I still have movie in my vivid memory.
There is group of probably prisoners (7-10 people) who are sent to deserted base on some moon or planet (doesn't matter). It soon turns to survival horror, where one of them kills others and nobody knows who it is. I think it ends up with just two people (hero and monster) being alive, confronting it in big fight. I think.

I can't help you remember so to help you mis-remember: the first one is Fantastic Planet and the second is the third in the Alien series.

^ I know the first one, saw it when I was a kid. I always thought it's Russian film (sounds like a lot of "eastern" sci-fi authors like Stanislaw Lem or brothers Strugacki). That's psycho.
But Alien 3 ? Heh, you got me there, because there are many clues it can be it - deserted base (prison), bunch of losers (prisoners), one of them is "it" (Ripley), epic final fight.
BUT I don't think that's it. I remember that the hero was a man and he was released from prison and went with team of other people TO that planet/moon.

If we consider Pitch Black B-movie, then we could consider this C-movie.

I would say B-movies are genre movies (scifi, horror, action, western etc.) made with a relatively small budget.
Vin Diesel (born Mark Sinclair Vincent; July 18, 1967) is an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" rel="nofollow - American actor, writer, director and producer. He became known in the early 2000s, appearing in several successful Hollywood films, including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fast_and_the_Furious_%282001_film%29" rel="nofollow - The Fast and the Furious and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXx" rel="nofollow - xXx .

That depends on interpretation. In Czech language, there is a term "Béčko" (meaning "B") which is a slang term - meaning film that has no artistic ambitions, is done for entertainment.
Nevermind that, Vin Diesel doesn't figure in film I had on my mind.

No Doom movie. I haven't seen it, but it should have similar "story" as the game, right ? Mars/Moon base overrun by demons. No no, in my movie, there is deserted base and just our team. No demons, only one monster, which is one of the members.
No Starship Troopers as well, they are simply too new.
No Serenity, cause characters there are too familiar for me. Besides, Serenity is 2005 - too new as well.
No Riddicks too.
Stick to the clues:
1)Probably from 90s 2)Probably very low budget 3)Silly effects 4)Starts in prison => travel to abandoned base => survival horror stars => paranoia everywhere => only last hero remains => epic fight => something (don't remember).

I have no clue what films you're talking about but I also have a similar dilemma of a film I remember bits of but have no idea what it is!
I've asked many people over the years without much success. Probably because I cannot remember who was in it or what it was about.
I just remember a cast mostly of women (about 5 who are all friends), random nudity and one of these women ended up at the final scene dressed as a clown. I forgot to say: it's probably from the 1990s or maybe early 2000s and I thought it had a well-known actress in it but I've been unable to find any reference to this film.
It was a tad weird, I think too.
It'll probably turn out to be something terrible I never want to watch again but I'm still curious!

And where have you seen it ? I saw it on TV (so when I watched it in 2001-2003, it was probably made at least few years before it), it was late, something like 11 PM.

And they replied to you, tried some guesses, a lot of which didn't fit to the image of the film in your mind at all, right ?
Anyway, as you can see, I remember quite well what was it about. The problem is that it's not original plot at all, it was used probably in dozens of movies. Hell, one week ago I saw The Thing (1982).

Indeed. Maybe out of curiosity, but it is probably going to be stupid movie. I want it nevertheless :-D

It was indeed on the television.
Actually, the people I ask have had no clue whatsoever and have made no guesses!
I used to remember the name of who I thought one of the actresses was but I looked her up a while back and nothing she's ever been in matches.
Oddly enough, I always had the idea it was a David Lynch film but it's not.
One thing I do remember is a group of 4 or 5 women sat together and I'm fairly sure one or two of them are semi-naked.
I know, it sounds bizarre... and I am sure one of them ended up dressed up as a clown standing in the middle of a road.

This was not a low-budget affair, I don't think. It had a well-known actress (perhaps several) in it. I think my mind just remembers the semi-nudity (I think they were in fact in a jacuzzi or something). I was 14 or 15 at the time, I think. Maybe a bit older. So 15 or so years ago at least.
I wish I could remember other things about it but that's about as far as my memory stretches in relation to this film.

I once a summary of film that was about few (maybe 4-5) sisters. I think they were from some kind of strict religious family. They haven't had contact with outside world, until one guy fell in love with one of them. What comes next ? I don't know, but it sounds similar to your movie.

Was one of them a part-time clown who went to visit children?
Blonde, short-hair?
I hope I'm not getting several films mixed up here!
I've tried looking my film up but nothing has been found that remotely matches it.
