I feel like this is The Revenant, but I could be wrong.

Now. I'm gonna write the description, but you'll have to be clever about it.

You probably spelled the name of this Old West-styled movie wrong the first time you did. Also, german dentist.

Django Unchained.

This will be a simple one, but here goes: A plane arrives at an airport right on time and drops off its zombie passengers. Two friends who did this song and dance seven years ago meet up and work together to take down the big bad before he creates even more chaos after he turns himself into a monster.

Not what I thought of but technically correct, so points to you.

If I look at your name it's probably a R.E. movie, but which one is the question. I have yet to see any of them.

Idk if it is a R.E. movie though..but the closest I can think of could be Resident Evil: Afterlife. In that movie Alice uses a plane along Claire Redfield (after she found her in a plane graveyard, reuniting with her after the events from the R.E: Extinsion movie) , lands on a prison surronded with zombies and ends up fighting with Whesker on a ship..(and of course he transforms into a monster because of the "T" virus he inserted with).

Resident Evil: Degeneration.

Animated film that can be linked with the game's canon. It is completely unrelated to/detached from the hot mess that is the life-action film series, which is not canon.

Whhaaat? They made an animated movie about the actual game plot? I didn't know about it. I guess I have to check it out!

But I wouldn't say all the live action movies in the series are THAT bad. The first one I think is quite good (imo) even though is not canon or something. They have their charm.

The live-action series are fun zombie movies on their own, but it absolutely strays from the source material (like with many live-action adaptations).

As for the animated films, Degeneration happens after RE:4 while Death Island (the latest in the series) happens before RE:7.

Thanks. Looking a the chronology I always had the impression that R.E Revelations happened after R.E 5..and not before 4. Guess I thought wrong..

Anyway, here is my "Guess the movie" take: Pretty boy, in the future, ditches college to enlist in a "gestapo" looking army for a girl, but ends up fighting an army of bugs.

Sorry for the delay but here's your title: Starship Troopers.

Continuing with the ship theme I've often thought that these 2 were cute together. The problem that the male lead had was that to keep the fl he had to swing a couple of times, even though he got hurt really bad by it quite often.

… my mind couldn’t help but go to Open Season with that. Shaw is a hunter and he got his life turned around when he challenged a bear.

anyway here’s mine: hungry-ass alien possesses an inanimate object and coerces some schmuck into world domination

Bingo. I liked the movie, despite not being accurate to Heinlein's novel.

Mhmm...not fully sure, but your movie is "Little Shop of Horrors"?

@deterioratedstarcell … my mind couldn’t help but go to Open Season with that. Shaw is a hunter and he got his life turned around when he challenged a bear.

I'll add a hint to my first movie description.

The cut up killer is a human who killed humans. During most of the film he's imprisoned.

Mind if I give it a go?

Sounds like minions.

Nope, it's a horror movie from some years ago. Not an old movie, but not very new either. You're right that my description kinda sounds like the Minions. I didn't make that connection until you said that. I'll give another hint. The "small creatures" were fairies

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark?

residentevilfan said:

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark?

Yep, you got it

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) by Guillermo del Toro starring Bailee Madison, Katie Holmes, and Guy Pearce. Guy Pearce's character is an architect trying to remodel an old 19th century mansion in Providence, Rhode Island so he can make a profit off it and build up his reputation more. He takes his family to live there while working on it and they find a hidden basement behind a fake wall. In the basement was a fireplace that leads down into a hidden world where evil bone eating rat-like fairies live. They tormented the previous owner of the house who was a painter and taken his son from him. Anyway the daughter (Bailee Madison) is the first to learn about them and everybody initially thinks she's imagining things and that it's a reaction to her family issues from her mom and dad's divorce (Katie Holmes is the new girlfriend, not her mom) It's a genuinely creepy movie and pretty riveting. I wasn't particularly satisfied with the ending but it's understandable since horror movies aren't usually supposed to have happy endings.

Here's a fun one:

Quotable drifter prevents alien world domination with the help of special glasses

What was that one with the alien that possessed an inanimate object? That sounds really interesting and I don't think Little Shop of Horrors was right. (Although it could have been since I never seen it but when I looked it up it didn't seem to match)

Easy, that must be the movie "They Live". This one, along with Burton's broccoli heads from Mars, legit terrified me when I was a kid and made me always peak over my shoulder.

I'm neither fully sure is Little shop of horrors (the 80s movie based on the broadway musical and not the 60s version), mostly because of the inanimate object part (I wouldn't call a plant an inanimate object, more like a rock, a pen, chairs etc.). But for the most part it fits well. We have the "inanimate" thing as Audrey II, which always begs to be fed and becomes from what it is from an eclipse event .We have Seymore as the schmuck who gets pushed by Audrey II to bring people to feed it. And spoiler alert :
at the end, Audrey II grows huge and sings how he is from space or something (if I remember correctly, it does that before he eats Seymore) and also because of its popularity, various publishing agents took the liberty to take parts of Audrey II and sell it everywhere, which was his plan to dominate the world and spread (I think Audrey II also admited that before killing Seymore) and the movie kinda ends in huge godzilla level plants destroying the city and having a military fighting them

I kind of like the movie..I don't really like Audrey's voice though, it's super annoying..

So..yeah, if is not Little shop of horrors, I also curious to know what other movie has aliens possesing objects.

Well, you're in luck: This movie is actually based a short story, though it has some liberties and a happier ending. Up until that point here's the plot: Anything technological made by man just ups and starts killing people for seemingly no reason. (They also don't discriminate, as one of the main characters finds a poor dog that was the victim of an angry remote control police car) It can be a car, a radio, you name it. It now hates humanity's guts. A few people in the town where this takes place holds their ground in a building while the possessed objects make it clear they have all the time in the World, then more vehicles show up and things escalate. There was also another movie based on the short story, but the ending is actually different: In the ending of this particular adaptation of the novel, the main characters flee from an angry truck and board a helicopter that lands for them. After the chopper takes off, one of the main heroes goes to thank the pilot, only to see the helicopter is also being controlled. This prompts the dude to just stare in horror before the movie ends with the chopper continuing to fly away, leaving it ambiguous as to whether the helicopter is being controlled by something benevolent, or if it's hostile and merely taking them to a spot to do what the ground vehicles failed to do.

Maximum Overdrive? It's based on one of Stephen King's short stories. The one called Trucks I think?

Correct! Maximum Overdrive is the first adaptation based on Trucks. ^^ The second adaptation is named after the short story itself. Alrighty, here's another one: An author who's also a veteran discovers that the house he's staying in isn't quite what it seems. Things gradually get worse before he puts his foot down and faces it head on.

Is the movie "House" or something?

wildlord said:

I think you're right. It seems like it's the movie House (1985) Which is probably one of the most uncreative names for a horror movie I've ever heard. I was intrigued by the description they gave since I know I've never seen a movie that fit that plotline. The best movie about an author I've seen was probably Misery (1990) with James Cann and Kathy Bates. Based on the Stephen King novel. I might have seen other movies where the protagonist was an author/writer but that's the one that comes to mind the most for me. Edit: oh! and The Shining too but that one is kinda overrated
