It's from a TV show many decades ago, and I thought it might be a Twilight Zone, but I haven't been able to find it. The plot is as follows:
Now, there's a Twilight Zone where a man and wife get 4 wishes from a genie, one of which is for a million dollars, but that's the closest I found. Does this plot sound familiar to anyone ? StuRat ( talk) 05:25, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Several years ago - I'll say early 2000s - I saw a short film featuring characters that loosely resembled the California Raisins, though they were supposed to be something else (coffee beans or whatever). It was a short clip, only a few minutes long, and extremely violent. The protagonist shoots, stabs, etc. a whole bunch of similar creatures, who are also heavily armed. It centers onto a kind of discotheque and the protagonist graphically kills everyone there. At the end, it's revealed that all the mayhem was started because the protagonist couldn't sleep because of all the loud music. Despite being pretty graphic, it was played as humorous - a kind of black humour slapstick. I got the impression it was done by an indie group, but was pretty well done technically. I think it was CG at a time when that wasn't the kind of thing just anyone could throw together. Any idea what I'm talking about? 99.235.223.170 ( talk) 15:29, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Greetings Ref Desk friends. It's been a long time since I posted a question, but I saw about ten minutes of a film a couple of days ago and I'm curious about what it might be. It was in color, and based on the cars and style it was most likely set in the 1960's - 1970's. It looked as though it was actually produced and released during this time period, not a modern film. Here's what I saw: A somewhat well dressed man wearing glasses is with a woman in a white dress, with a white flower headband or hat. They are having a conversation in and around a parked car, and they seem to be going through suitcases of clothing, it is possible they had changed clothes just before I started watching. I got the impression they had perhaps just committed a crime or were running from someone, but I could be wrong. The man asks the woman about the whereabouts of her husband and children, she replies something as "they are gone, I am no good". The man dumps a suitcase and bag of clothing into a thrift goodwill collection bin, they leave in the car. He is driving, and she is sitting next to him in the car, at which time he starts to place his hand on her legs. The next scene they arrive at what appears to be a church or something similar, the man has a conversation with another man, and I think the woman goes on an underground guided tour of some catacombs, in which religious symbolism appears. That's all I got. The language was English and I couldn't get a idea if it was a dramatic, action or horror film. My Google searches have been in vain. Does this film sound familiar to anyone? Thanks! 10draftsdeep ( talk) 16:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
If the movie was on TV where you are, it might be useful to check listings of TV channels, for example using newspaper back issues that you might find at a public library. -- 174.88.134.156 ( talk) 23:14, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
