Bet you can't tell me...

[Phalanx]

...what shows/movies these are?
Well, I'm actually thinking you can, or hoping...anyhoo...sorry, I may have dropped these in here before.

90's comedy, tv series, short lived.
At least ONE major part of the show seemed to be set in a bar/diner.
The main character was a kinda jewish looking guy, the romantic "interest" was a chick who worked there, short brown hair, kind've eminded me of Liza Minelli a little...I THINK she played his ex-girlfriend.
I remember ONE line, he is taking another woman into the restaurant trying to impress her, asking for "the regular", the female lead brings him out a plate, saying "your weiner, sir".

A movie. 80's or 90's.
Two guys are the main characters, they find a chick from space, have to protect her or hide her or something, some guys are after her. One of them had a motorcycle...? Something about something she had to find?

A sci-fi movie I'm thinking 80's, with giant roaches...a crashed ship, the "good guy" stranded alone on this planet. Not star wars, not Krull, Not the last starfighter...but something along those lines. Really little recalled.

A thriller type movie, with a murder someplace in the storyline...there was something about a "movie within a movie" about it...in one scene the main character falls into what turns out to be a fake coffin?

The second one reminds me of The Fifth Element.

are you fucking kidding me ? this is the 3rd time you've asked this (or are you just asking again to pull my leg ?)

this one sounds like de Palma's Body Double

I know, and I know it's always you to answer it, but I keep forgetting...and, well, not much on the old thread searches...

Could be...I definately remember something about a fake coffin that lead underground or...to some set underneath it?...sound like?

Nope, pretty sure that's not it, older film by far.

I'd love to know what this series was...I think the main guy MIGHT have been called jack...looked a little (but wasn't) like a balding version of the guy who played opposite Lundgren in "I come in peace/Dark Angel". The girl as I said looked somewhat like a liza minelli type chick...it was pretty funny... the comedy style in Becker reminded me of this one a lot.

Probably not a chance of films like this getting identified...but hey, thought I'd try. Guy stranded on planet after his ship crashes, shoots a giant space roach/bug in the mouth of some kind of...cave? I remember a lot of sand...and no, not dune.

I thought of another one...a thriller, with Bob Hoskins? I remember one scene only, but I loved this one, however crap it was, when I saw it at 13, I was enthralled. I remember hoskins was supposedly dead but survived by breathing underwater from an asthma inhaler?

it was de palmas homage to hitchcock's Vertigo.

in Body Double the guy (Craig Wasson) was a claustrophobic actor..

(this the coffin scene in the end)

agree with urgeok..."Body Double" was the first thing to pop into my head.

?

Wings?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098948/

"Monk" looks jewish.

[Phalanx]

Nope, I remember I never saw wings.
I honestly think I'm never going to find out what this show was...unless there was some kind of immense database of every 90's comedy show ever or something.

Body double...ok, I'll ebay that one. Urg, yeah, there was something "under" the coffin, a fake set above too?

Hyper Sapien : People From Another Star

it's a tough name to remember - luckily it's in the front row of one of the VHS sci-fi shelves :)




the coffin thing was part of a vampire movie set - dont remember if there was anything under it
