Name that movie.

[Nr1Humanoid]

Remember a movie but only a detail or two? Don't know the title?

Ask others in this thread.

I'll start, all I remember about this movie is that a fat woman swung by a rope and crashed through a brick wall.

Another one had a lot of car driving in it, sometimes filmed from the back wheel.

And third I remember seeing a horror flick. A woman is stalked by a maniac who tries to kill her. She goes on the run and learns he is her brother before he finds her.

Haven't seen these 3 movies in 20 years and would love to again.

Is the third one Halloween 2?

I remember seeing this creepy film from France I think. It was about a women living with her infant child on a island off the coast of France (Her husband is doing military service or something). Anyway a strange female backpacker with a dark past asks if she can set a tent on the women's property. The women agrees. OK to say anything else would be spoiling the film but it has one of the most snorked up endings I have ever seen. Anyone know the title?

Afraid not.

Back wheel or back seat?

Granted, that could be any number of movies but I'll throw a guess out there...Two-Lane Blacktop? That's older than 20 years, but it does have a lot of driving.

I remember seeing just a few minutes of a movie that I'd like to find because it seems to belong to the "so bad it's good" category:

Apparently, the story was about a haunted car that goes around killing people, and I saw like only one scene, in which a stereotypical lout/motorbiker who kinda looked like the Fonz got chased by said car after a huge explosion in a gas station. The car was partly burning and was rolling slowly while the lout was running away. The car somehow caught up with him and rolled him over, burning him in the process as well.
IIRC, this was followed by the burned haunted car going in a garage, and the owner picked up his rifle, believing a thief was in it but upon realizing no-one was in it, he promptly... not found it weird at all and happily sat down behind the steering wheel, before somehow getting killed by the car.

I've got one:

It was about this man who starts hearing a voice in his head telling him to do stuff and if he doesn't do it, then he'll die. His dad also heard the voice and ignored it and died. The only thing I remember the voice telling him is to turn his garden into a baseball field.

That's about it, anyone know?

I think I've seen that, but I dunno what it's called, either.

This is just a guess, but is it the film adaptation of Stephen King's "Christine"?

No. I've seen that one, though.

uh... the last line sounds like another movie altogether...

called Field of Dreams where a farmer hears voices to build a baseball field over his crop

Was the car one a horror movie? Cuz I know two: The Wraith and The Car

I'm pretty sure that this one is Stephen King's "Christine". I've seen "The Car" a dozen times and no one ever gets into the Car itself.

Y'know, a few of the scenes of "The Car" stalking people were from the driver's side rear wheel, so this might be the one for the original poster's question.



Look familiar?

Is it Maniac?

[TromboneMan]

2 scenes that could possibly be from the same movie, but maybe not:

1) Some guy gets admitted to a mental hospital, and his friend decides to break him out. When he finds the main character's room, he admits he went to the wrong room first and a patient from the mental hospital with an obsession for Pancakes start following them around everywhere. "Are you the pancake man?"

2) A guy somehow ends up with his fist and arm up a cow's arse. The cows starts running down the street, where everyone watches him stuck up the cow. When he gets out he sees that he lost a ring he was wearing so he "punches" the cow again to get the ring back.

I remember seeing the movie/s once yeaars ago, and the title's just been bugging me for ages because I can't remember what the hell it was...

I have no idea if it was an adaptation of Christine as I haven't read that book and I don't know anything about the movie I've seen aside from the scene I depicted.

The car in the trailer you posted does look like the one from the movie I saw, so there's a good chance The Car is the movie I was thinking about. Thanks!

Would it get damaged, but then recover?

Again, I have no idea. Like I said, I've only seen like 5 minutes of the movie, but these minutes tickled my curiosity and now I'd like to see the whole thing.

Back wheel. But I just found the movie and will check it out.
