I think I saw it on the Sci Fi channel, I only saw part of it. It was a horror film, towards the end, where two characters (a girl and a forest ranger or sheriff of some sort) have locked themselves in a park bathroom, where the big bad is outside, pouring gasoline through a window. The sheriff is injured, and screams at the woman to take his gun and shoot him. It's hilariously narmtastic, and I wish I knew its name so I could find the scene again! Help!!!

This has bothered me for so long I'm wondering if it actually exists.
A crappy horror movie about a clown killing teenagers at a campground. It's got a standard plot: The kids go on a camping trip, their van breaks down and they stuck at a creepy campground. I think they find some weird wind-up false teeth or something, wind them up, and that's what awakens the clown. I'm pretty sure one of them is killed by the teeth.

Short film, actually. I'm looking for the name of a short film where there's a guy in an apartment, and you never see him from the neck up. He's talking to someone, who is offscreen. His landlady keeps knocking at the door, asking if he has someone in there with him, to which he always replies in the negative. Eventually it does show him above the neck - where there is nothing, because his head is pretty much a separate entity from his body, and he is arguing with 'himself' the whole time.

Spoof teen comedy horror along the lines of "Not Another Teen Movie" and the like.
Only saw the first minute or so of the film, a guy's wearing a normal looking mask and accidentally sets himself on fire. He puts it out by putting his head into a bird table/fountain and the mask has melted to look like a scream mask. Then the titles come on screen.
The title's fairly long. Perhaps released 2004/05?

I saw the film a number of years ago and I think I caught it halfway through. A group of terrorists had managed to get into a nuclear missile silo. The main protagonist was an Asian guy — I think he was supposed to have just been the pizza delivery guy who got stuck in there — with extreme martial arts skills. On the outside the military commander was a female who at one point had a joke played on her with one of her subordinates sending her a blow-up doll.
There was a Big Guy who kept getting nailed with groin shots by the protagonist leading up to a scene where it's attempted again and there's a metallic clang whereupon he lifts the sheet of metal he'd stuck down the front of this pants. Whereupon I believe the protagonist just kicked him again. Oh, and there's a later scene where the protagonist is being stalked in a dark room by a female with night vision goggles. We see him apparently huddled in a corner trying to hide before he pulls out a flashlight and blinds her. Oh, and I do remember they had a computer guy who was doing the Password Slot Machine thingie where the numbers line up one by one.
^_^ Anyone remember this one?

A film that prominently used the Roger Rabbit Effect - it was aimed at kids and I remember it sort of having the look of Disney's early uses of that trope, as in Mary Poppins or Pete's Dragon and the like, though I'm not sure if it actually was Disney or not. I mainly remember the main characters (a live action man and one or more kids) being rescued by ostrich-like birds that call themselves "Wokka Birds" (which were animated), and then the birds go into a song and dance number once asked what a "wokka bird" is.

Low budget film probably from late 90's, early 2000's.
A family move into an futuristic computerised house, I think the father figure may have worked at the company. One day he turns off the security overrides (can't remember why) and it methodically tries to kill the family. The son is working out in the gym, hears the door ring, gets some Nine Inch Nails tickets in the post and goes back to working out where he gets crushed via his barbells. The daughter doesn't like the computer watching her so covers up the camera with a towel. His wife I think is attacked by the kitchen robot helper.
Aside from that, I don't remember much more.

Early 2000's. Thanksgiving special, maybe? There was this evil guy, and he had dinosaurs hidden on his spaceship. He fed them a special cereal or something. One day he ran out and the dinosaurs got away. I remember the trex crashing through the city and everybody thought it was just a parade float. The dinos could talk, I think, and they met up with these two kids. The evil guy by now had caught up with them and put the trex in a circus in the woods. He tried to make the girl sign a contract in blood.

It was a movie where there was this guy with an old radio/microphone setup whose father died in a fire (he was a fireman, and he took the smoky route out of a house instead of the fiery route and suffocated; the correct choice would have been the fire on the right). Then one day the aurora borealis or something allows the radio to communicate with a past version of itself, and he tells his father who he is (and helps his brother found Yahoo in the process). He saves his father's life, but it makes his mother a target of a serial killer, and she is retroactively killed. Then, with the confusing cooperation of the past version of himself and his past father, they eventually take the killer down (the climax involves the killer's hand disintegrating, and his father shooting the killer in the back). Then the aurora fades and they live happily ever after.
I watched the Hungarian dub, though, so I don't know how popular this is in the West.

The was a scientist with a cat allergy that was testing potential cures on himself (I'm pretty sure it wasn't any of those examples) with his pet cat. I don't think that was the main plot point.

I might have dreamed this, but I think I remember finding this as a short on a DVD.
Stop-motion animation, but the characters were furry rabbits. The whole thing was very blue in color, and there was no dialogue. The grandmother rabbit sees her washing machine shaking, so she climbs inside it. She goes deeper and deeper before finding a white "light at the end of the tunnel", which is supposed to symbolize that she died.
It's probably not Aardman.

Film with I think Sean Connery in it about some WWII veteran submariners having a re-union on their old submarine. They all go mad and try to attack Russia. In the end everyone except for the captain escape and the submarine sinks.
It had a bit where the main character explained what a cold war was to his friend.

This query may be a little odd, but it's something that has been bugging me for quite a while as I was fairly young when I saw it, probably too young as a matter of fact. To begin, I'm pretty sure it is a period piece of some kind, Victorian or Edwardian Era, possibly English. I only remember two scenes and they are both a tad risque, and from what I can remember not entirely crucial to the plot.
- A woman is sent to a doctor by her husband because she is being difficult. After getting situated on the doctor's exam table, Doc starts to get...ahem... busy a bit south of the border. She attains hysterical paroxysm, and is although embarrassed and not entirely sure what happened, reschedules for another appointment.
- The woman's husband is boating out in a park, possibly with a friend, after hearing rumors that this doctor is banging his wife. He witnesses this...uh...coupling in the park hidden in some trees. There is another man and woman similarly engaged close by, a friend of the woman and the doctor's assistant.
Any help would be much obliged. Just so I can get these stupid images out of my head. I really hope I'm not crazy.

An animated film, about a young elephant who waits for an adventure to come to him in the mailbox, but finally decides to go out and find one for himself. Then he meets a scarecrow and a pig with wings. They come to this forest that says "no singing" "no whistling" "no dancing." The elephant does all of that and ends up sucked into some underground dungeon. There's also a whale that's a submarine. And pirate, I think. This film was Better Than It Sounds.

80's movie that featured a group of humanoid alien refugees (that looked like glam rockers) hiding in a house that belonged to a woman and her teenage daughter. I believe they were hiding from a bounty hunter, and there might have been an interspecies romance between the girl and one of the aliens. Not sure if it was a TV movie or not.

I remember seeing this movie on TV a few times when I was younger (in Australia, but i don't think it was made here), and it had this thing going on about tupperware (obviously it wasn't actually called tupperware in the movie) and it kept food fresh forever, and then the ladies that sell it never got older, and it was because they slept in giant tupperware containers. I'm almost certain this was a movie, but there's a slight chance it was just a segment in a show like goosebumps.

Hey... I remember a live-action children's movie, don't remember what it was called (pretty sure "Legend of [something]"), don't remember much of the plot, but there are a few things I remember vividly:
- Set in Alaska, or maybe Canada.
- A little boy who plays too many video games (Pac-Man Fever, but I think era-appropriate, although got jarring before I outgrew the movie), the mother saying "he's going to grow up with that thing glued to his hand."
- In one scene, his mother turns it off and he protests that he "almost made it to level ten!" Followed by this exchange, or one just a few words off:
"What about equal rights for kids?""What about equal rights for mothers?""And grandfathers!""Grandfathers can get away with murder.""Well, I certainly hope so."
- Watching Fargo as an adult, the mother, boy, and grandfather seemed very similar...
- A Magical Native American named Ray who constantly uses You Are the Translated Foreign Word.
- The bad guys frame the Magical Native American for poaching, and the boy pawns a Gameboy for $50 and several games to make the $100 bail. (I very clearly remember the phrases "got any games?" and "we're here to bail Ray out.")
- Something about a magic drum that broke once it had served its purpose; pretty sure Ray presented it with a "You Will Know What to Do," possibly in his people's language.
- Gets kind of trippy at the end, although having seen it through a child's eyes, I'm not sure if it was meant as a metaphor, Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, or if the villains were actually wizards in plain sight. I vaguely recall a cave.
Might have been a TV movie, but if it was, we taped it.

Does anyone know the title of a vampire movie, one where a bunch of scientist discover a vampires corpse and they revive him by dunking it in a tub of blood. They then do experiments on him, and secretly some of the scientist are trying to become vampires themselves. Then the vampire hunter who's killed him has to kill him again?
