openPre-2006 Featuring “Begin Again” never-ending song Film
Pre-2005/6 kids show/movie. It opened with live action kids reading a book about a lady. Then they got sucked into the book. The world was pretty pink and live action but kind of fake. She had hair that changed to be in pigtails (not Loonette the clown, but similar). I was a little kid, so I didn’t really follow it that well. She was guiding the kids or trying to get rid of them by getting them back home or dumping them elsewhere, and they had to hide sometimes. There was a bit I really remember where she approached some men who were singing a never ending song where every verse ended with “begin again.”
I was pretty sure this was a dream, but then it turned out Pete’s Dragon was a thing, too, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
openComedy about 3 friends Film
I remember a comedy where 3 friends were lost in a forest and met 2 girls who lived in a tree, and the short blond friend fell in love with the blond girl. Then I think they found a kind of treasure or something and there were guys that wanted to kill them or throw them into a sort of pit/cellar (I'm not so sure about this) and in the end the blond guy goes to live in the forest with his girlfriend and another of the friends became a scoutmaster. Thanks in advance!
openMovie about a rockstar Film
As a kid I saw a documentary about a famous rock star. Now that I'm grown up and know who rock stars are, I'd love to know which one it was. Could have been anyone from a Rolling Stone to Lou Reed to Cobain, although I'm pretty sure he was American (definitely not a Beatle because I knew them too well). I think he had a fairly rough life, probably did drugs and the aesthetic I am picturing in the documentary is a run-down house with graffiti on the walls and a fire. The only scene I remember is him talking about a band he was in in High School who called themselves "the Vultures" and he showed an animation he did as a teenager of someone being captured by vultures and made to listen to their music.
openI need to know a series or movie name. Film
I am slightly inclined it's a tv series.NOT SURE THOUGH. It starts with a drone strike in a family wedding of a terrorist. His nephew, X, is a medical student, he films the air strike in his phone. This guy survives and comes back to college. His roommate uploads the video to the internet saying the world needs to know. After uploading the videos, someone comes and threatens him not to talk to the press about this. from there the story starts. X steals medicines from the hospital to for the terrorist who apparently survives the air strike which was intended for. X gives a bag full of medicines to his girlfriend which her father finds out and throws it out. He now doesn't have the medicines. A spy comes in as journalist to find out about the air strike offers him money for the medicines in exchange for information about the air strike. She has to get the information in 3 or so days which he is not interested to give. So she seduces him and sleeps with him for the information. That's all I can remember. Does this ring a bell to anyone.? Somewhere i remember English (British) accent in this.
openI don't know Film
A group of hikers spill some ancient blood and the sin doesn't come up after that . They draw sticks to see who they sacrifice then the sun comes back up but only for a day
open??? :) Film
Okay... here's what I know! I viewed this movie (or possibly an episode of a show) during the 2000s (2004 to 2012). All that I recall is that there were two main characters being followed throughout the film. One being a boy/guy and the other being a human-sized robot (who would later reveal herself to be a girl/woman after removing the robot head/helmet). I believe they were both on some sort of quest, but that is all that comes to mind. Also, I think that they kissed after he finds out that she's a girl. And it was not a cartoon! Thanks for the help in advance!!! :)
openClouds, wings, burgers, magic Film
There's a TV show that I used to watch when I was younger but I can't remember what it's called. The opening was the main characters standing on clouds and at the top there were wings. It was about two teen male friends, one of them was magic. In one of the episodes, one of the friends' were doing a burger eating competition with another guy. The magician made his friend throw burgers everywhere.
openTalking Guitars Film
It's an animates show where the guitars talked, it was a Christian show. The acoustic guitar got famous and started being a dick and then he was sad because he didn't have any friends and then he stopped being famous and got with his friends.

openMovie name i cannot remember Film
I am not able to remember a movie name. I remember it is a horror movie in which protagonist's heart is removed by the evil villain. But hero will not die because heroine draws a heart shape on his chest which keeps him alive. In the climax the villain is able to call monster like creatures with help of hero's heart. But those creatures will listen to only those who have that heart and hero manages to get his heart back and the creatures kill the villain. This is the plot I could remember can any one find the movie name.(I remember something like while removing heart some insects (like cockroaches) are placed on his chest)
Edited by MuraliopenI am SO Stumped Film
k, this is really driving me bonkers, people.
I'm looking to find an old show - I was sure it was Hitchcock - one of his black & white 30 minute shows, but I can't seem to find it anywhere and i need help.
Here goes.
It starts off - a woman finds a pair of shoes whilst working in a second hand store as a clerk and comments, "oh, what lovely shoes".
She tries on the shoes - all of a sudden she turns into the woman who was murdered in those shoes, by her husband.
She immediately calls the husband who murdered her and says, "I'm not dead and I'm coming for you" - hangs up and goes to the guys house!
She gets to the house - maid opens the door - she marches past the maid - goes upstairs, disrobes and climbs into a hot bath.
Now, having taken off her shoes at this point, she switches back to the person she was before she put the shoes on, she gets paranoid, climbs out of the bath, puts her cloths and shoes back on, only to hear a man knocking loudly at the door, demanding to know who she is and what she's doing in his house.
Fear stricken, she opens the door, runs past him - out the main door and out onto the street.
As she's running down the street, one of her shoes falls off.
She then takes the other off and placed them in a garbage can and continues running.
Then a maid from this house, where she put the shoes in the garbage can, opens the can lid -sees the shows and comments, "oh, what lovely shoes".
Does AN Yone know what show this is??? Thanks for your help!
openMovie about Teenage Sorcerers Film
It's a movie I saw on TV some years ago. I remember very little about it, but I'll try my best to describe it. It's about some teenagers that have some kind of magic powers. In the beginning of the movie they are in a car doing some crazy stunt and one of them say something like "Harry Potter has nothing on us" (however I'm not sure if that line is really part of the movie, as I was watching the Brazilian dub of it). And then the rest of the movie is like, they're in this place with other sorcerers, the main guy meets a girl and they fall in love, that usual trope. I believe something happens to the girl involving spiders. And then he takes her to a very old country house claiming that it belongs to his family, and there they meet an old housekeeper as well. Then a lot of stuff that I don't remember happens, but I think it centers around the old house quite some more. Sadly I don't remember who the villains are, but they end up there as well. By the end of the movie, some kind of prophecy is fulfilled and the main guy becomes more powerful or whatever. It's a very cliche and unoriginal story, but I really want to remember its name.
openIMAX space station movie Film
This is a short science fiction film that came out in the 1990s, that takes place decades in the future featuring a little girl(I believe she was Asian) on a space station. Her father is one of the people who works there, and he goes on a mission to a planet or moon to find supplies so that their station won't be scrubbed. We tour the station with her, having her older self narrate. This was shown at an IMAX theater in a museum when I was a child. Any help would be appreciated
And to preempt this, no, I am NOT talking about any of the Zenon movies.
openPlease help me with this movie Film
I'm trying this for the second time because I bumped the old question probably a hundred times. This is what I wrote in my first question. "The only thing i remember is that it started in a car. It was driving through a tunnel and there were lights flashing on both sides, then it drove out of the tunnel and turned to the left. On the right there were barriers and behind them a forest i think. You could not see them but in the car there was a child and his parent(s), they were talking and the parent(s) started to tell the kid a story when they got out of the tunnel. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, write them! Thank you."
We also know that:
-It isn't Spirited Away or The Brave Little Toaster or Phantom Tollbooth or Dungeons And Dragons
-It's a kids movie in case I didn't mention it already
-The lights on the sides of the tunnel stayed on screen for a long time (like a minute or so), they didn't just flash for 2 seconds
-It's not anime
-It's older than 10 years
-It may have been on a VHS tape
-I also think that there were animals in it (not sure about this one)
Even if you are not sure about it, please at least try. You could be right. :)

openA musical movie, I think Film
I believe this is from a historical period musical movie, but I'm not sure.Two men in those puffy-sleeved shirts with brocade vests are strolling through what appears to be some sort of tomb for royalty, cheerfully making fun of their lives and deaths, and swinging from oddly placed bars. Its at least a decade or two old going by the quality, but still in colour so....?
openScrewed-up children's movie about deer? Film
Okay so I cannot find anything about this online, but as a child I remember watching this movie (it might have been claymation) about reindeer, and they were trying to escape this villain, and the two main reindeer were in love, and the villain forced them to work as a tourist attraction as if they were animatronics, but the villain really hated the main character and decided to kill him off by lowering him into a vat of acid, and yeah. Anybody have any idea what this is?! Thanks.
There's this movie about a ventriloquist on a Ferris wheel when the Japanese were invading, do you know that film?
