Sorry, but I have to ask: how are you finding these screencaps without (even incidentally) picking up any information about the films/shows from which they are taken?

Back when I had an account, my friends used to post Live Journal entries where they posted screencaps and you had to guess where they came from. These shots are so utterly inconsequential that I seriously doubt any one of the images actually drew anyone to absolutely seek out any film depicted based on the screenshot, so my guess is there's some arbitrary honor amongst people he knows to be finagled

It's great fun though! Keep posting 'em.
Although like reno I did wonder how you could see one of these random caps and think 'wow this is a film I want to see'.

Guys...while browsing the site where the screencaps are guessing or forums about movies, I discovered some interesting screencaps, some of which I think I saw them, and some wondered what it might be like. And then I accidentally found this site, and I dared to ask the local film experts. More pictures have really not:), I hope that I disregarded the rules of this site. And if yes, I apologize and ask admin to delete my posts.

Don't worry, no one cares if you ask people to identify movie screen caps. Even if you were doing it just to get a rise out of people...meh.

Going to have to bug you guys on four, possibly three, that have been bothering my for the last decade believe it or not. They're all animated and at least fifteen years old, but possibly older. The also were all released on VHS in the US by '95 if that helps any.
First one, which may also be part of the second had a really distinctive cardboard animation style that was extremely stiff. The story was something along the lines of a boy wanting to have adventure gets a boat and travels the world gathering crewmates and the such. The only scene that I remember strongly involves one of the crew being driven mad and trying to kill everyone so they leave him on the island they were staying at.
The second one had a yellow machine as an important plot point it was big and looked like the pods in The Fly. The machine was made by a mad scientist who wanted to destroy the world. I remember a character being mutilated or teleported using the machine or both (if so than the scientist was murdered by his own machine.
The third one had large sections in live action using B&W stock footage from the forties I think. The main characters were two animated bumblers, I believe they were smart but very clumsy, who could come to the real world from behind a clock and they had to save the universe or something akin. I pretty sure the animated sequences are in colour.
Finally, thank god, is another that has one image stuck powerfully in my head.in a town after the villain, I believe an official of some sort, has been run out or killed he gets resurrected as some machine black knight thing and as he runs back into town there's smoke billowing around him and I'm pretty sure the smoke is live action.

Number 2 looks like a scene toward the end of "Quigley, Down Under" starring Tom Seleck, Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo.

First one is Experiment in Terror, Murdoch.

First one's Experiment in Terror

The second is 10.30pm Summer ---> the grab's from DVD Beaver here.

Guess you need photos for a response. :-"

Thanks for the responses, guys. Sorry I can't help you, knives.

This probably won't be of much help, but I was watching BEING THERE (1979) last night and there's a brief scene with Chance getting a suitcase from the attic within the first 15 minutes of the film. As usual with this character he turns on a television while he's rummaging around and an animated film comes on which could very well be the "mad scientist / teleport machine" cartoon you remember. It's only on-screen for a few seconds, however, and there was no identification as to what it was.

Sadly not it. I wish I had a better memory for this sort of thing, or at least they were more well known. Oh well.

I once saw a trailer for a new film on a VHS tape before the main feature. The tape was probably 10-15 years old now. Could possibly have been as young as 8 years old.

I remember the film being about South Africa and being called "A Time for Killing". IMDB has a film of that title, but it's not the one, and a search for South Africa in IMDB hasn't helped me.

I remember it having a substantial A-List cast. The cast alone made me sit up and notice, and it seemed a strong film on difficult subjects.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The late 1980's produced several such films. I'd check out A DRY WHITE SEASON (Donald Sutherland, Susan Sarandon, Marlon Brando, Janet Suzman) CRY FREEDOM (Kevin Kline, Denzel Washington, Penelope Wilton, Kevin McNally) or A WORLD APART (Barbara Hershey, Jodhi May, Jeroen Krabbé, Tim Roth, David Suchet), though none of these titles is close to your remembrance. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Cry Freedom I know, and it's not that.

A Dry White Season looks quite possible. That's a cast I would have noticed. And Time in my title could be the last remains of Season from the original. Will find the trailer somewhere and see.

Was it not A Time to Kill (IMDb)? A starry cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, etc.) albeit set in the Deep South.

A film I caught on TV in the states at some point... can't remember which channel. Anyway I think it is from the late 90s, American or Canadian, I remember it being called "The Philosophy of Guns" but I can't find anything on IMDb that matches the description. It concerns a very slackerish, Gen X guy narrating a shooting at a university. One segment involved him recounting a tale of a bunch of philosophy students that jumped out of a window at the same time. Lots of little absurd bits thrown in there. The main character has glasses, and there's a nerdy girl with glasses in it as well. Quite anticipating of the whole hipster movement. Yeah, lol, I have no idea what it is but it has been bugging me for ages - I remember finding the IMDb page after catching it on TV but I haven't been able to since.

Cronenberg?

That's the extremely campy Dr. Caligari (1989).

Well now I have to see it.

erezija wrote:Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have two movies I wish I could identify.

The first was an animation I saw over twenty years ago. I think it was a short and involved these characters (may have had long ears but I can't be certain) who go out hunting for large winged creatures (like sting rays). One of the characters dies, if I recall well, and turns into a winged creature. So basically, the "long eared" people go out hunting for their ancestors reincarnated as the flying creatures. I have been haunted by this cartoon for years and years and I wish to find it, or at least identify it. Anyone know anything about it?

I finally got to the bottom of this.

Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of La Planete Sauvage (Fantastic Planet)

Worth a watch indeed. I'm glad you managed to find it, and thanks for sharing it!
