Well, since this thread has been zombified, I’ll ask this again: 80’s movie, set in LA. Ex-army sniper as protagonist. The only particularly memorable scene in the movie is set up like this: His girlfriend complains to him about some asshole drug dealers who live in the same apartment building. He tries to reason with them, and they tell him to get lost. The next scene shows them(the drug dealers) sitting around their kitchen table playing loud music and drinking when the lead asshole’s head explodes. Cops talk to asshole #2 and he tells them exactly what happened - they were sitting at the table when his head exploded. Cop looks out the window, and sees mountains in the distance, and knows who might have been able to make the shot. ---

one more for the pile: The basic premise, I think, was about a colorless austere world (maybe subterranean) when a flower inexplicably appears and is promptly treasured by the populace. They take turns housing the flower, but one couple grows covetous and take it for themselves. Naturally, this causes the flower to wither and die, but not before producing seeds which are distributed across the community, including the greedy couple. Any ideas? ---

It was a movie about these two twins separated at birth and having different upbringings. One wore glasses. I recall a Jeep being involved and an electric vehicle. Both had blond hair about ears length. It was definitely a late 80s or very early 90s movie. I remember seeing it when I was 7 or 8. ---

Other than the electric vehicle, that sounds exactly the The Parent Trap. The original was from the 60’s IIRC (but even now it’s on TV all the time) and it was remade it in the late 90’s with Lindsey Lohan. In the [original](http://www.summercampculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/parenttrap1961birthday.jpg) one had long hair and one had short hair and by the middle of the movie they both had matching hair cuts. The remake may have involved glasses. ---

> [@](#): > > Other than the electric vehicle, that sounds exactly the The Parent Trap. Great call. The timing threw me off. If the twins are now grown, Parent Trap II, maybe? It came out in 1986, the opening credits used clips from the original movie, so that would explain seeing them as they looked when they were kids (ear-length hair). ---

Am I too late to the party? This is a movie from perhaps the early '70s. The child actress that voiced Lucy in the Peanuts cartoons was dead or a ghost and she sang a song with the words “The worms go in, the worms go out. Through your stomach and out your mouth. . .” Scarred me for life, that song did. ---

> [@gvvggv34](#): > > I once seen a movie about scientists in a secret base doing experiments to open an interdimensional portal. A creature came through and starts killing everyone in the base. It had the ability to take any form it wanted. The two scenes that stand out the most in my memory is one scene were a heavy set female cook thinks she is chasing a mouse through her kitchen and gets slaughterd, and the very end where it approaches the last two people left alive, telling them that all it wants is to go home. I seen the movie in the summer of 1992, so I am assuming it is an 80’s movie. Cannot for the life of me track down the title, any help is appreciated. Xtro 2? ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Did the obvious choice, _Watership Down_, have cars? I can’t remember. There was a scene near the middle where one of the rabbits was playing little-kid-tough-guy and stood in the middle of the road, daring a **hruu-du-du** to squash him. It went up one lane, missing him, but a second one came up the lane he was in, just barely missing him. Funnier than it sounds, honest. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Did the obvious choice, _Watership Down_, have cars? I can’t remember. Yes, that is it. I looked up the title on the web. It had some violence not shown with understood outcomes and also, showed the death scenes of the rabbits. A tough life for many rabbits, but one with a happy ending for most. Hardly a movie for small children, I do remember seeing it. I just had forgotten what the title of the movie was.
