I am trying to see again a desert war film where soldiers as using jeeps and come across a steep hill to go down. I remember the soldiers emptying one of the jeeps and then winching it down using the other jeeps.
I have watched 'Sea of sand' thinking that must be the film but this scene does not...
In the S01E02 Gideon relates how he confronted a killer who stutters saying he knew the cause but he refuses to tell the cause to the rest of the team because they should find it out by themselves.
I didn't watched the whole episode and could not find the answer on internet.
I only remember one scene and it had two guys strapped to individual metal tables that look like something from a morgue. The room was made up like an operating room but was dank and dark. The disfigured bad guy had one of the tables rigged to heat up and one of the guys is literally burned to ...
@ChristianRau Every day is a good day to hate ID. The crap questions just keep piling up. Fortunately for me I have hidden them now. Which of course does not help when people don't even bother to use the tag. And the android app does not respect my filter either. :(
Yeah okay I get that, but splitting meta really was/is a larger process with new challenges. Graduating a site really is nothing they never did before.
Just would be nice to know if they just did not get around to do it yet or if they still expect us/the site to reach some obscure goal.
Considering that the whole SE network is based on community participation, the graduation process is awfully opaque.
Come on people, only 265 unanswered questions! We can do this!
:D
Btw, what is the best way to handle questions that already have a perfect answer on scifi.se? Rephrasing just to rephrase seems rather pointless. A link-only answer is bad as well. Maybe copy the answer as Community Wiki?
I am no big fan of duplicating content, but that seems better than just a link.
@atticae Hmm, good question. I don't like Community Wiki very much. I for myself would just copy the essential parts (with proper link and in quote block, of course) and maybe resummarize it (or the more elaborate and left-out parts) a bit. Seems the best one can do if the existing answer is indeed already exhaustive. Leaving it unanswered just for the sake of originality is indeed not an option.
Any ID question I answer I make CW. If I'm going to be answering something I don't agree with, doesn't seem right that I should get rep from it. CW is a great way to answer things you just don't feel right about answering with what you have. Or even to provide Cannonical answers/questions.
@atticae Well, at least you took the effort of putting it into a proper answer. To be honest much of the stuff around here is just an assembly of other sources to some degree. But it't you decision if you want to make it CW or not, at least I for myself would be the last one to demand it.
@atticae Well, it has its uses, e.g. actual community answers, designed for multiple people to add their own findings individually (thus, a wiki). But usually, if I write an answer, its my answer and I want my damn rep for it. ;-)
@ChristianRau Yes, but usually there is still some work involved in finding, compiling and summarizing those sources. If I am not even the one who found the duplicate, I really don't want the rep for it.
@atticae Well, as I said, if you want to make it CW, feel free to do so. But I at least don't see a general requirement for it. I have sometimes reposted an already valid comment answer from someone else for the sake of completeness (after the commenter refused to write an answer himself). If the original answerer didn't write an answer, then it's my achievement that I took the courage to do so.
We have no hints of him at all. I apparently did alert that my presence would be sporatic at best (I dont even remember doing that), nothing at all from him though =/
Oh I got it, the reason is that 264 are the ones without any answers, 325 are the ones with no upvoted answers (which seems to be in line with usual ID-asker activity, I guess).
@atticae Ah, the better ones, there's even -commercial and -episode (though, the latter isn't too bad, I think, might even be the best one, though also the rarest).
I was wondering is it legal to use small parts of movies, few minutes max and post them in my website? I'm not talking about trailers but parts from movie itself.
I've seen that there are quite a lot of videos/compilations on youtube with parts from movies, for example, video "160 Greatest Arnol...
Hm strange. The front page shows 4,791 questions. To reach 94% answered that would mean we can only have 287 unanswered. But we only have 264 according to the unanswered site. So we should have 94% already, but it shows 93%.
I think they are closed with this close reason, which should give the necessary hint: "Movie identification questions must contain sufficient detail to be answerable. For help writing a good identification question, see: Identify-This-X Questions. Identification questions without an accepted answer will be deleted after 14 days."
Maybe that could even go beyond movies & tv and also cover stories (as seen on scifi) and music etc.
Then all the people who like to play this kind of guessing game could have their own site with their own rules and we would stop mixing those worlds.
I guess they would have no trouble getting questions, would just be a load of work to moderate. But now we have that problem here, which really is not better in any way.
But obviously such a site would have to be proposed by someone who actually is interested in these questions.
@atticae There are enough people interested in these questions (yet those people are usually overlapping with the ones that are content with them being asked here).
@atticae Yet, we on the other hand would have trouble getting questions (even if the trouble getting good questions wouldn't change much).
Yeah the old problem. However we delete about 90% of those questions anyway (see above), so it's kinda cheaty to use this to justify our questions/day ratio.
I don't think we would have trouble getting new questions, we just would have less (the amount we have now minus the ones we don't want anyway).
With that reasoning we could just allow any question even remotely related to movies here and would have fantastic question/day ratios.
a LOT of these questions were all from 2013, unanswered, with 0 score and the asker has not been back to the site since the date they asked the question
In the movie 'Beethoven', George Newton was an air freshener entrepreneur. In fact, in 'Beethoven's 2nd', he and his wife obtained a collateral loan to further their business with their house acting as collateral.

I have been looking for the film named The Ruby Ring[1997] since ten years ago.Who can give me a link to it?I can't join the YouTube,so please give me another.
I remember watching a SYFY film which had a scene where two aliens or androids (a man and a woman) with super strength were in some kind of large laboratory.
The woman alien was attacking a man after doing cart wheels / flips then punching or kicking him.
Any information would grateful.
There's a beautiful violin theme in the movie Highlander, when Connor MacLeod has been driven out of his village and is with his new wife. It's a 6-note riff that is played very high, then an octave lower, then another lower, then finally by cello or bass another octave lower.
