This thread http://www.worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=45949&hilit=lady+cage from a while back made me think that it could be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to searching for names of movies that you may have forgotten or only remember a specific scene and Google or IMDB is of no help.

As I like doing research when the screenshot games are posted, I could do the same here and thus help some of the forum posters.

So, if you are looking for the name of a movie, post whatever information you remember and I will try to help you.

TERRORVISION, from the makers of other gems like ZONE TROOPERS or the SUBSPECIES series.

Hmm... there was a TV movie (I think?) from the early 90's/late 80's and it involved dinosaurs. And a big T-Rex (or similar) that they killed. But then they stored the body and someone was taking pictures and it woke up and was chasing this guy down a hallway and chomping the doors.

It was lame but I've always wished I could remember the name (I was 6 and too scared to finish watching)

Could it be Carnosaur? or maybe Carnosaur 2? It couldn't have been Carnosaur 3: Primal Species.

Maybe its just me but I think we should have a thread on helping place a quote with a movie. Just today, I quoted a movie and now I have no idea where the line came from, can someone please help me.

The line is,

"Because I know what its like to be alone in the big city."

Like Optimus said, Carnosaur may be the best bet, although the first Carnosaur movie is from 1993 (cheap Jurassic Park knock-off) and that may be past the time frame you posted.

I didn't think I would use this but anyhow.
So this movie may or may not be released yet.
The only thing I remember is one screenshot which was on JoBlo.com
I thought it was on a preview list but after going through 2008 and 2009 lists for the studios I still haven't found the shot.
It's basically a shot on a street at night time a man stands over a woman. I think the man wears a tuxedo as well.
And its a mystery/thriller movie. It could be "All Good Things" but I can't seem to find the photo because that movie has no screenshots available.
In the background there's a white fence and a tree. The woman is sitting down underneath a lamp post I think.

Damn! Questions are getting trickier as this time like you say the movie may not have been released yet or the pic could be from a promotional still and not a movie screenshot per se.

Although it's not the image that you describe, could SURVEILLANCE be a possibility?

Mine may have been "Adventures in Dinosaur City" ... I dunno.

Oh well, I don't actually intend to rewatch the movie I just always wondered what it was...

Judging by your description the movie seemed to be a serious one, but the trailer for that movie makes it look like a kids comedy.

Here are the trailers for Adventures in Dinosaur City and Carnosaur. See if any of them makes you remember more.

There was definitely a mad scientist. But the part that I remember the most was that the one dinosaur was "dead" until the photographer started snapping pictures of it at which point it woke up.

The kids from Dinosaur City look familiar though.

Who knows parts of this could be my brain playing tricks because it has been ... 17 years or so since I saw it. I seem to remember two kids and a crazy old man but I thought it was set in like a "modern" time.

Short film. Claymotion. Scandinavian (I think Danish). Involved zombies.

When I was growing up, there was this Chinese, maybe Japanese, film I had on VHS. It was about these, I think, three farm kids that went to a big city. I remember there was a montage of them eating at McDonald's, since they'd never been before. The main arc of the film was them rescuing some girl, a relative I think, that had been kidnapped.

No, though that one is cool too, heh.

The one I mean deals with a father who thinks his son is a whimp. I think it might be set in the Wild West, but not sure.

And it is very new (2007 or newer).

I find it really ironic this thread came up now as I was truly in need of one tonight.
What movie is it where peoples eyes go black and they start to ooze a black liquid (blood...kinda) out of their eyes? I was totally reminded of that watching MSK because the cancer girl's eyes totally look like that at some points in the film.

Well, that happens in both the TV series and the first movie of THE X-FILES. May happen in other movies, but I need additional information.

Aghh, that's not it and I don't really have any additional info. I was just reminded of a scene where someones eyes lose their pupils and irises and just turn completely black, but I don't remember anything else and can't connect the scene to anything else. I'm pretty sure it isn't a horror movie, but can't even remember what kind of movie it is.

Something similar with the eyes happens in THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE.

Check the trailer. There is a very quick scene showing it.

And btw, Jeff, I can confirm that your dinosaur movie is NOT Carnosaur.
