This guy is high on pcp. "My details are very very vague so I appologize. All I can remember about the movie is a woman gets trapped in her home, the food in her refridgerator starts talking to her and she befriends them. Eventually she gets hungry and eats them but it's devestating to her because she has become friends with them. I was very young when I saw this and I could swear that I saw it on public television if that helps any. Thanks."

That's Veggie Tales that was mentioned above and I would assume that's not it, because it's a recent show and it's claymation. I'll mention it, but if that's it that dude IS on pcp.

The scene this guy is describing sounds some what familiar to me, but nothing is clicking. "Since you seem to be able to help everyone find out lost movies from their past, here's one of which I only have the vaguest recollection. There is some war or battle going on in the movie at different times, perhaps some bombardment at night on a fort or something. But the most evocative image is of an old guy who looks like a hobo that can run as fast as a bullet. There are scenes in the film where he is outrunning a cannon ball next to the ocean. I also get the feeling the movie may take place in another time or some alternate reality like Star Wars does but that could be wrong."

I was thinking Munchausen, but I hadn't seen it for years and it didn't really sound right. Thanks for the confirmation.

thanks, that sounds really close if nothing else. tip of the top hat to you.

This the most vague description I've ever received. Any help at all would be well appreciated. Hey man, love the work you do on this column and I'm hoping you can help me out with this question. I remember seeing this old teen movie I think from the 70s along time ago and can't seem to remember the name. It was about a group of friends and all I remember is towards the end two of them get arrested with two other guys. Someone bails out the two friends without the two other guys knowing and they think they snitched. The two guys then beat one of them until he dies. I think it takes place in New York or Chicago.

I just got this morning and haven't run it down myself yet, so I thought I would just post it in all of my usual channels. I so appreciate the help. The thing with the shoelaces sounds really familiar. "I've been thinking about this made for TV movie that came out in the mid to late 80's and was wondering if you could help me out. The basics of the movie is a family is driving in the car and it wrecks. The little sister ties the big sister's shoelaces and she can't get out and dies in the explosion. The big sister comes back as a ghost or poltergeist (or some other supernatural being) and systematically kills the rest of the family. At the end the paranormal figure creeps up and is at the edge of the mom's bed and just says "Hi Mommy." "

Ok, more vaguely described, probably remembered wrong movies. See what you can help with, it's always appreciated. "The first one involves this boy who gets involved with a pirate and his mute black pirate buddy. The only scene I can vividly recall is when the three of them find the treasure, and the boy is scooping up pearl necklaces and jewels in his hands, when the pirate guy tells him to get out of there, they don't need him anymore. The boy stands on the top of the treasure pile, lets the jewels fall out of his hands, and then walks away. He comes back the next day to see them, and they're both dead." "You have got to help me think of this damn movie. It' s a horror flick, most of what i remember is a group of like five people working in an office building, planning some kind of party. The killer in the movie is like some sort of crazy , wacked out cop. The only scene i remember is the killer chasing some chick down the street and a group of biker dudes that were chillin at a bar coem out a start beatin him down with bats."

Satanico that looks like it might fit on the other one. Thanks again.

A big tip of the top hat to you MaskedDanger. I appreciate the help and I know Smues does too. I like how we figured out everything it wasn't first. Sometimes it's all process of elimantion.

This sounds like it could be a lot of different flicks, wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks again. "I've been trying to figure out the title to a movie for a long time now with no luck, not even from my dad, who was the reason I used to watch this movie. All I can remember is that at the beginning somehow most everyone in the world is dead, and the star of the film is alone. It seems to me the first we see him is in an office building or something, but my memory is hazy. I remember he wanders around and realizes no one is left, so if memory serves me right he lives it up staying in some dead guys huge house. Eventually he runs into a chick so they team up to wander the earth. Then he runs into another guy, whom I remember asks our hero if he's found anyone else and he says no, trying to hide the girl. Then the new guy sees the girl, is mad at first, but then laughs or something like that. The last thing I remember is the three of them sitting around a fire in the middle of a city. I never saw the rest of the movie and must find out what damn movie it is so I can watch the rest. The only other thing of note that I can remember is I didn't know how everyone died, but buildings and houses weren't damaged in anyway I can recall. I don't think there were bodies everywhere either. PLEASE HELP. Thank you"

Try the Last Woman on Earth: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054017/

Try Where Have All the People Gone: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0072400/plotsummary

I had a few ideas and already thought of stuff like Omega Man and Last Man on Earth. I also have some other feelers out. I was really thinking it was either The Day the World Ended or Target Earth both starring Richard Denning, but both of those are in black and white. Don't worry, smues, I'm still looking.

Chris Wilson is like half the list. I'm actually sorry I didn't make the list. I'm thinking and about the only really stupid thing I ever did was give Sydney Sky the title because Frost was secretly in love with her. Or when I made Z dress up Sky to fuck with Frost's head. Or the name Chilly Chilly Bang Bang. Or the fact that Frost ran a business empire founded on tacos.

I actually went through the imdb and looked for everything with whale in the title and nothing matched. I've seen Orca several times and knowing the basic plot I knew it didn't match. It's a pretty blatant Jaws ripoff. To my knowledge there are no Orca sequels.

I'm pretty sure this isn't Orca. Well, it could be, but it doesn't sound like it from the description. "in the early 80's one of the local channels in l.a. (5), showed 'sat afternoon movies'. one of the films in about an 18 month rotation was about a killer whale near a coastal town becoming 'friendly' with some local folk, until some ne'er do wells feed him a fish stuffed with fishhooks, whale goes nuts, and i kinda forget the rest. am i spending too much time with tobacco alternatives??"

Fuck that 'talent in taking walks drops' as he gets older he should be walking all the time. I'm surprised he isn't in a walker by now. It's good that I finally get to check in for the first time in ages because of my schedule and see my boy in line for some career milestones.

They fail to mention Regis' time as a lackey for Joey Bishop and a failed game shot host in the late seventies.

Just one this week. Hopefully you can all help and any given will be credited and appreciated. "Second, and this one will be even tougher, I remember a flick about a kid who had to eat a lot to keep his stamina up. He had some sort of superpowers or was a robot or something, and food was his fuel. Kinda like the Flash. I think the flick may have been from down under, but don't hold me to that."

No, the one where he eats the cereal is The World's Strongest Man from 1975. That could possibly be it actually. Thanks for all the help any more ideas would be appreciated.

No, that was a tv show and he got a super suit from these aliens and super speed wasn't a primary stength and he didn't eat all the time, so I would say no. I was kind of thinking Zapped with Scott Baio, but that involved drinking this prune juice stuff that gave him mind powers.

Ha! I will be out of town that day. I will have to set my roster to the 200th place now!

So I went to Yahoo for the draft just now and it says we can't draft with an odd number of teams. Fix this! I must draft football now!

I've been doing decent the past couple weeks, but we've got some doozies this week. I haven't even tried to run down anything yet since I've been busy, so any help at all is appreciated and will be accredited to you in my column. "I saw a movie a few years back starring Luke Perry. I don't remember much from it except that Perry played a hitchhiker, and he got beaten up a few times during the movie. One of the subplots was about a door to door salesman who sold vaccum cleaners and killed his customers. It was kind of watchable in a strange way." "Another movie I also need help with is a movie about a secretary who was really like "Patrick Bateman crazy". She kept on killing her work mates and hade them in her basement stuffed up, and she kept on dressing them and talking to them. It was a very weird movie. She was played by an actor I have seen in many B-sitcoms, shes's small and blonde and have an annoying voice. So if you know wich movie I'm refering to I would be grateful." "I don't have so much details for this question but I give it a try. It's a movie I saw around 1985 as a child, its'a a fantasy movie where the hero (I think he has a beard) had a sidekick who has blue/greyish skin and he uses a bow and arrow as a weapon, he looked elfish. The movie is in a "Conan like" enviroment/time. I remember in the end they pour out gun powder from the evil guys base all the way out and light it. The "evil boss" had several wifes during the movie, he killed them one by one. I think he got his orders from a demon of som kind." "the story of the movie is there is a war where people can't go to school work etc. there is depression and a boys father sets up a basketball hoop and clears a court. then his wife manages to take her son to somewhere safer. he has to stay as he is going to be called up by the governement soon. the sad bit at the end of the film is when there is a siren for an air raid and he goes to play basketball at the court (sad as his son has left) and is killed." "I'm sort of the resident movie buff around here and can usually name any movie my friends describe to me, but I just got stumped. I had two of my friends describing some movie they saw as kids. Some of the details: -Kids movie from around the 80's. -Involved a mirror that transported kids to another world. -Something to do with a witch and a jar full of berries that could make you young again and/or cure illness. -The kids were trying to get the berries for their grandmother. I guessed Labrynth, but they said that wasn't it. Should I have them commited?" That last one I've seen, my sister used to have it on tape, but neither of us can remember what it was called. We know that it tied into some sort of toy line as the kid traveled with these dolls, they were like a cross between cabbage patch dolls and puffalumps. If we could just figure out what the toy was, I know I can track down the movie.
