You know when all you can remember about a film is a particular shot, or some random line of dialogue or maybe just an actor... but can't remember the name of the film... that's what this thread is for.

I'm trying got remember the name of this one film I watched in film class sometime ago... the opening shot was of a razor blade to an eye. What was the name of that film?

Oh yeah... it's foreign, and black and white, right?

im pretty sure what your talking about is un chien andalou

it a french film from like the late 20s early 30s

yeah thats the Salvador Dali film Un Chien Andalou

Which inspired the great Pixies song Debaser.

Oh man I was just reading up about Luis Buniel before I opened this topic up. Weird.


While I have people's attention, I'm still trying to figure out the name of some obscure animated foreign short involving a tank that senses fear. If this rings a bell to anyone, please tell me!

That actaully does ring a bell, and now I'm going nuts trying to remember it...
