This film was a turn of the century 1900s time frame color film. It was a movie not a TV show. British I think. It was about the invention of a projector / lamp that would show creatures that were invisible floating in mid air. The creatures were snake like. The longer the projector was on the more aggressive the creatures became and eventually would have crossed over to our dimension. I can't remember the film and cant find any images on Google. May be a Lovecraft type film

I remember very little of this, I was quite young -  It was on television in the mid 90's, but seemed older. My wife was telling me about the 21 grams experiment and the memory clicked into place. Setting Inside of a mad scientist sort of lab, with the plasma balls and everything else, a character (Who in my mind resembles Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein) is conducting an experiment. The room is hazy, lots of hues of purple and red. He has an assistant present. They were conducting some sort of experiment to try to figure out the secrets of immortality (or possibly reanimation). I remember them &quot;trapping&quot; a human soul in a glass vessel to see what it weighed or what kind of volume it took up - I believe they shot someone in this vessel, and because their soul could not &quot;escape&quot;, they did not die.

I saw the movie 6 - 7 years back on cable tv, from the looks of it it seemed to be made in the late 1990's or early 2000's. Unfortunately I could not see the complete movie. The story goes like--   Some people are waiting at a small airport because snowstorm activity has cancelled all flights in and out. There are two children in the group as well (one boy and a girl). Somehow they discover there are aliens looking like humans among them. They decide to check passengers through baggage scanners (checking the skeletal structure via x-ray). They find and kill 2 aliens.   and the big twist:      5. They then realize the two children are also aliens.   any ideas what the name of the movie is ???

I'm trying to find a movie with an underground facility with people wearing white suits. The people have been affected such that they show no curiosity. There is one person that does and asks one of his co-workers where a tube leads to.      At the end there is an uprising where everyone gets to see the surface and sunlight.   What is the name of this movie?

This is a very hazy recollection, and I was very young, so please bear with me. This was probably from the early up to mid 80's.  There is a particular child with other children. Not sure if it's an orphanage or a home. That child either misbehaves and is locked in a closet/small room or is accidentally locked in it.  It appears as if the world around them is routinely very dark and cloudy.  While the child is in the closet, a very rare instance of sunlight appears. The other children are very excited and run out to enjoy it. The child in the closet/room is forgotten during the excitement.  The child in the closet sees only a little light appear under the door.  At the end, the child's only exposure to this seemingly significant event is from that bit of light from underneath the door.  It may have been a commercial or part of a larger episode/show/movie.  Again, very hazy memory of this, but the images have stuck in my minds for decades.

There was a film from the 80s in which young people can teleport anywhere they can think of.   These guys are recruited to do studies with, maybe by the government or a secret company which wants the take advantage of their abilities.   I saw it on cable TV around 1990-1997.   Any clues?

I remember watching this sci-fi movie where a huge metallic capsule gets dropped from a few hundred meters. The capsule had a chamber inside where only one person could be seated. During the drop, time dilated and the person would transcend to another world, lasting for days, even meeting dead people. Kind of a parallel reality.  It was an amazing movie, but I cannot recall its name.

This is one of the few movies I saw on one of my relative's computer screen when I was little. As I was too young to understand anything, it was approximately 15 to 20 years ago (I believe the movie couldn't have come out after 2000, but the quality of the pictures looked good enough that I have my doubts).   The movie I am looking for was fully animated. Potentially a Japanese animated movie, but I can't tell for sure, as I was too young to tell the difference between Japanese, English or any language. There may be blood in the movie, but I can't tell for sure. However, now that I'm looking back, the drawing style looked slightly Japanese, although it was more of the bloody kind (I could slightly compare its style to "Blood: The Last Vampire" (2000)). Maybe it had an Asian tone to it (e.g. it could be a Korean animated movie too).   One of the "bad guys" was a tall, heavy guy, in a very armoured suit. I can't tell whether he was wearing a suit, or if his body was enhanced because he survived an accident (although I have some form of memory about the latter). Most of his body was covered, but I remember his face not being covered. The most distinctive feature he had was the fact that he had a Minigun where one of his arm should be (a bit like Barret in Final Fantasy 7). I think the first time we see him, he's seen crushing a metallic ashtray with his other hand.   A battle scene in the movie includes the heavy guy having a shoot-out against a relatively thin guy (or should I say "normal-sized man"), fighting him with a machine-gun mounted vehicle (he wasn't the one driving; he was shooting from the back of the vehicle). While they were shooting at each others, I remember the heavy guy screaming (nothing in particular, he was just shouting continuous "AAAHH~!!" in pure rage). The fight didn't seem to happen in a city. It slightly looked like a battlefield. The fight ended with some form of explosion, probably killing off the heavy armoured guy.   The other noticable character was a young boy. He looked... pale, almost weird. His skin was almost green, otherwise he looked like a regular child. He seemed to have some psychic powers too: at some point, when he was feeling uneasy and sweating, a man picked a sample of blood from the back of his neck, using a portable device. But when the man was... either incapacitated or down, that boy broke the device containing his blood simply by looking at it.   At some point near the end of the movie, the pale looking boy and some people (with scientists among them) seemed to be inside a huge facility or underground hangar. There was a lot of space, although I can't remember if it was a factory, or if it was an underground weapon storage. The child was also giving some form of speech too, as all the lights turned on suddenly. The others were possibly surprised by what they were seeing.   One last detail I remember about that child is his smile. While it wasn't as scary as the Joker's, his grin was... kind of creepy, because of how he looked at the others with his small round eyes. He was oftenly grinning.   Overall, most of the scenes I remember were quite dark (mostly because there was little light, or it was night time). The two exception being the battle scene (although it was dark, there was a lot of muzzle fire), and the last underground scene with the boy.   When I asked my relative about the movie, all they could tell me was: "The coloured word 'Aiko' was written on the cover of the CD".

I know that this sounds like Strange Days, which I haven't seen, but from the Wikipedia description I don't think that's it.  I saw this back in the early-to-mid-90's on TV, pretty sure it was a premium channel. It follows a research group who develops a way to record experiences. Not thoughts, but at least the sights, sounds, smells, touch, etc. They record it onto this reel-to-reel tape, it looked striated and golden in color. The protagonist is the head of the research team.  I don't remember a great deal of the plot, but there were conspiracies surrounding the invention. The lab clown decides to give it a whirl by putting the bike-helmet-sized apparatus on his head and going out to have a little fun, in the classic wine, women, and song fashion. Once he returns, an older member of the team finds the tape and finds a section where the clown is having sex. Later on, the protagonist, who is the lead researcher, finds the older member shut up in his house seemingly for days and nearly comatose. The older researcher had the playback device over his head and is non-responsive. Worried, the protagonist removes the helmet and puts it on himself, only to find that the older researcher had snipped a few seconds of tape and had them running on a non-stop loop; the moment of orgasm for the clownish researcher. The older researcher eventually comes to and awkwardly apologizes.  I think there were also experiments in recording the sensorum of a lab monkey, and that played into the plot. I remember the plot seemed fairly thin and dull for what seemed to be a pretty neat idea. I don't desperately feel the need to watch the movie, but I'm mildly curious if my impressions would differ 20 years later now.

I'm trying to remember a film I saw years ago (1980's?).  The only part I clearly remember is a man and girl being bricked up alive (in a tower?) and escaping by turning his (magically large) coat or cloak into a rudimentary hang glider.  The film had a medieval sword/sorcery setting.

There was this cool tv show I used to watch as a kid (in the 1990's I think). It was about a world where water was extremely rare and people used to fight over it, however there was this person who had this large 3D polyhedron shaped device (big enough to fit a few people in it) that could synthesise water.  Now, this device was either a time travel device or could just make water (not sure but I remember some time travel aspect as they could either remember the world the way it was where water was plentiful or could travel back to it on occasion).  Anyway, would love to know if this rings any bells?????  It was on in the UK (but maybe the US too, not sure).

It's a (relatively) recent movie about a kid whose scientist father is missing or presumed dead.  The kid experiences strange situations (e.g., books from a case fall off).  In the end, it was the father the one that was throwing those books to draw the attention of the kid.  Does anyone know the name of this film?

I have memories of watching it a few years ago (I was a kid then) in the early 2000s probably; before 2010 I think. It was a movie with giant robots, and the enemies were aliens piloting what I remember as giant, more animalistic robots. I remember those animalistic ones running on water. The aliens themselves were a little taller than humans but mostly humanoid. I remember what the aliens look like a bit; most of the movie they were clad in some kind of armor, but the scene I mentioned showed one's face, if I remember well, grey skin, vividly green eyes, a beard made of some kind of quills, bald. I have this one scene that stayed crystal clear in my memories. The heroes had captured an injured alien, and other aliens attack to, in the end, just retrieve the injured one, leaving with this one without attacking further this time. I also remember the aliens going through a city in some machine (I'm actually not sure this one was piloted though) and destroying anything it perceived as a threat, from cars to security cameras. My memories are coming from years ago, so I might be wrong in a bunch of things there, but this one scene, I can assure is correct. This might remind a bit of Pacific Rim, but it isn't. (It's watching Pacific Rim that reminded me of this movie.) It doesn't seem to show up on any giant robot movie list on internet, weirdly, so I hope you can help me. And now I'm starting to wonder if there was really robots on the heroes' side. Maybe it was warships (sea ones, not spaceships). As I said it was some time ago and I was young, so bad memories are likely.

I'm looking for a movie I've seen as a kid, the details are foggy and sparse but I'll try my best following :  What is it?: An animated movie. Tell us what it isn't: It is not . Tell us what made it memorable: A planet where some brain-sucking insect-like aliens live, also an old bald man lives on the same planet. When did you see this film?: Late 80's, early 90's. How old was it?: If I've seen the movie on TV in Spain, is a pretty safe bet that it will be at least 5 years old. Was it part of a series?: I don't think so. Plot: No clue, sorry. What language was it in?: The movie was dubbed to Spanish (Spain).  No detail is too insignificant  What details can I recall?:  Sci-Fi story with one character being an old bald man living on a planet where some insect-ish aliens can open your skull and suck your brain. Habitat of those insect-ish foes was depicted in light blue colors, I kinda remember giant mushrooms as well. A young boy befriends the old baldie, the boy came to the planet with some adults.   Other details I'm not completely sure (maybe my mind is filling the gaps):  I think that the movie was drawn using , not 100% sure though. I cannot remember which year I've seen the movie, but it should be late 80's or early 90's. I'm pretty sure that I've seen the movie in Spanish TV (not rented videotape). Somehow the young boy was the young version of the old baldie (time travel?). The old man lives in a wood house near the brain-sucking insect habitat, as many old man does he spend his time on the porch.    Try to offer unique details As anyone would expect from this kind of movie, there's a scene where the alien insects attack a group of people trying to suck their brains. A young boy was with those adults and survived with injuries in his head. The old bald man have some surgery in his head due to an attack he suffered years before.

What is the earliest movie in which the status of the events as reality is doubted or denied at (or toward) the end?  I will limit the case to movies in which almost all of the movie events are subjected to such doubt or denial and exclude the ones that may start "in" some character's fantasy and then fairly soon step "out" to (the movie's) reality or go "in and out" through the movie.  A famous example is The Wizard of Oz (1939), in which the events of the movie turn out to have been a dream in the end.  I have a fairly early movie in mind and will give it as an answer if others don't.  Just to incorporate some comments:   The answer could be a movie of any length, short or feature. When "it all turns out to have been" a dream etc., it should come as a surprise to the viewer.  (The viewer may then want to have a second viewing in light of what he has learned to see the changes in his own responses.)

I need to find a film that I watched in 2000-2010. I remember the invasion started in a high school football stadium. A group of teenagers figure it out and run home. People look normal but get mind controlled. They know the city got attacked and the thing to defend themselves is a drug(or a substance) they usually use. I also remember the group has about 5-7 people. They try to escape the city but eventually get discovered. At the end of the day, the group only had 2 people left and end up going to the stadium. They hide and figure out there is a queen-like creature in the stadium and try to use the last dose to kill it. Then one goes out and later comes back to their hideout but the other isn't sure that he(she) isn't controlled. That is all the plot I can remember. Please help me find it.

This post-apocalyptic movie was probably made in the 80's.  It plays in a matriarchal society, where men are slaves. I remember only one scene, where the main guy escapes a camp of women (the women are like Amazons) and by accident he falls into a cave (the scenery is similar to Grand Canyon). It turns out that the cave is a long lost, hidden fort, and he is in a control room. He sees monitors and computers, and a recording starts where he sees how the human civilization was before the apocalypse, skyscrapers, and such stuff. I think that before that, nobody knew what happened, and how the old world was at all.

I don't have a youtube link (I think "The shining" has such a scene), but you all probably know this effect, the actor is zoomed in by the camera while the background zoomed out, probably by zoom in camera while the camera increases distance. How is this effect called and exactly made. Also, how is it interpreted by the audience (the actor is shocked, engrossed,...)?
