openTrying to find yet another devil film Film
What is the name of a movie which begins with a well dressed man walking into an office building, entering an elevator where he instructs the operator "Down. All the way down." He then enters an office where a woman dressed as the moon goddess or some such thing is lounging on a desk. The man reprimands the woman instructing her with words to the effect "we don't do that any more". The distinguished looking man turns out to be the devil and the office is apparently his center of operations.
open(Probably) 2001-2005 movie? Film
I'm looking for an old movie from around the timespan stated above. All I remember is a woman is the main character, and two scenes.
First scene is about the lead woman as a child looking at a flower vase. The vase burst into flames several seconds later, and an older woman asks someone else "You believe that's a set up, didn't you?" (Paraphrased)
The second scene is set as a huge fire is about to reach a male character (I think). The lead female then approached the fire and the fire retreated. At the end of that scene, the woman disappeared, presumably dead, and leaving a memento I cannot really recall. I remember the memento is a jewelry, though. What kind, I'm unsure.
openYou know that Bollywood movie? Film
It's in English, it might be a musical but I'm not sure. American guy meets Indian girl while she's in America. They have a whirlwind courtship, only for her to suddenly return to India for an arranged marriage. Guy goes to India to win her back, only to find out that she's the biggest Bollywood movie star around. Hilarity Ensues, love conquers all, etc.
openOld Black and White VHS Film
So when I was younger there was this old VHS tape at my grandmas house that I used to watch. I'm not quite sure if it was just a bunch of cartoons put together or one actual movie. But I do remember that it was all in black and white, all the characters were animals (I believe) and there was a cow and during the film, there was a scene with a title screen that said something like "Sunny Days" or something along those lines. I haven't been able to find the tape as it got lost over time, but I can't find any trace of it online either. I believe the animations were a creation from during the early 1900's to the 1960's but that's just a guess
openMovie: Disabled little girl chose to die and her family donated her body Film
The main character is a young girl who had some kind of syndrome/disorder that made her body mostly paralyze so she was taken care of by her parents and siblings. She can't really talk but her mind is very clear and she often talked with a ghost/imaginary friend in a form of a younger girl. The girl's condition worsened as time passed and her family members' relationship with each other also did due to various reason. The girl often comment about fishes and how they would die if they leave their environment.
Eventually, her health got to the state where she had to be put on life support but her life quality continued to decline, so her family let her decided whether she wanted to take it off or not. She chose to die and passed away in the night. The next morning, her family brought her body to a hospital to donate it. An afterword revealed that thanks to the research on her body, treatments were developed for people with similar conditions.
As the movie end, the girl talked about how fast she could swim and if the audience blinked, they may lost her tracks.
openCartoon movie about three kids running away from something evil Film
There isn't a lot of information I can give, but, I DO remember two particular scenes in the movie:
1.The Villain (or something) thinks he/she found the main characters in an Indian tent but it turns out that they were just silhouettes made out of snow 2.The kids are on a small boat (or a canoe) while the ice is forming back together behind them.
The movie takes place during winter, it was (probably) a sequel or based on an animated series, the ending scene has two birds flying around while the main characters are talking and then it fades to black. It was dubbed in my country, so I don't know the origin of the movie. I believe the movie was made somewhere around late 90's/early 00's. As for the characters I cant remember how they looked like and I think it was two girls and a boy. The animation wasn't anything spectacular I think it was low budget something like the Rudolf the red nosed reindeer (not the stop motion one) animated movie.
Edited by WakefulElandopenWhat scene am I think of???? Film
I'm picturing a scene but can't remember what show or movie it's from...so I'm picturing a scene at night where A guy walks out of an alley way into the street, stares at a cop car and shoots 2 cops and walks off. The dash cam footage gets him arrested but it turns out it's either a clone or a twin or something....either way the guy was proven innocent. Help???
openSaw this gif going around... Film
...it was in monochrome, and what I could only guess was from a horror scene. A woman was to the left of the scene, bound and gagged (as if for a sacrifice rather than anything related to bdsm), then a man(?) Walking on all fours (either stomach facing up or down) enters from behind her a bit of a distance away, temporarily leaves the frame, then creeps up just behind and to the left of the woman. I cant recall exactly, but I think he was wearing two masks so that when he entered the frame you see one, and as he continues to stand straighter, theres another (or the mans actual face, I dunno). The man is wearing all black, and the woman was dark haired. Does anyone know what this is from?
openLooking for a sitcom! Film
So I am looking for a tv comedy that I saw once in the UK, but it probably is an american sitcom. I was on my work break so I was just watching whatever was on the tv. In this episode, there was a blonde woman who went on a date with a man who was babysitting at the moment. And then the child's mom came home unexpectedly. The blonde woman has two children I think a teenage boy and girl. Well that is all I can remember, it was a while ago since I saw it. Thanks for any help.
openNo clue need help Film

openA Cheesy Movie about High School Film
There's this movie I saw early in my life, it had a group of kids who were studying to pass school.
There's also a moment from the movie where one of the adult women asks a girl whose covered in blood "Isn't that your blood?" and another where a girl went into labor during the big test.
Edited by C6-E9openA scary movie with walking trees Film
Hey guys, this question is for my dad. He says that when he was a kid, he was really afraid of a film featuring walking trees. I thought I solved this and it was the movie "From Hell it Came," but a few details he recalls do not match up. My dad may be mixing up several different films in his head, maybe you can help? Here is what I do know: my dad was born in 1954, and he saw this movie on tv, not in a theater, when he was fairly young, a preteen. He can't remember if it was in color or black and white. When I showed him the tree Monster in "From Hell it Came", he said that Monster LOOKED like what he remembered, but there was more than one tree . He said the human characters were hiding in a house or building and a bunch of trees circled around the building, blocking their escape. He also said the trees walked into an electrified fence, killing them. Sound familiar to anyone? Imdb was no help. Thanks!
openRandom Movie About The Devil Film
I'm looking for this one movie from around the late 80's/early-mid 90's. It's about this one chick and this dude who try to stop the devil from taking the souls of people. He also apparently takes human form as this corrupt business man of sorts. There was this one freaky scene where he encountered a police officer and he turns him back into a child, then a baby, then a fetus, and then nothing. I remember seeing clips of it in this fan made music video for the song "Devil's Dance" by Metallica. I last saw in 2013 but it has since been taken down. Can anyone help me find it?
openAnarchist life Film
About 12 years ago I watched a movie that I barely remember and have not been able to track down. The details are very fuzzy, but there were a bunch of (I think) young adults living together in a ramshackle two-story home or possibly a group of homes. Pretty sure they were anarchists but they might have been hippies, I think it was set in the 80s though. Some of them have young children. There is a line in it that talks about how raising the children completely rules-free is going to mess them up and they're all going to become CE Os or accountants or something "begging someone (or paying a dominatrix maybe?) to tell them no."
openHelp find an odd... something Film
I put film, but it might have been an episode of something. I didn't see the beginning, but basically a woman is joining a new religion and needs to transcend. So the leader she's with puts in a disk and they do the procedure, but it fails. The guy ask to try to remember any supernatural incident, and she remembers a time with a boy showing her his junk and a magician called Knocking Do. The guy says it's an incomplete being that she needs to purge with a procedure that involves sticking a long instrument up her nose. She's been increasingly umsure, but agrees. But she freaks out in the middle and punches or stabs him with the instrument, it was unclear, and calls him Knocking Do. You'd think I could find it with all this info, but apparently my Google Fu is weak.
openKIDS/TEEN MOVIE Film
This is going to sound very odd and I'm mentioning so few details because I can barely remember this movie beyond the fact that it was pretty good. It involved a bunch of young kids solving a mystery. Mostly boys and one girl (no, I'm not talking about It), the girl was probably blonde. At one point, (maybe it was a stakeout or something), the girl is in a room (maybe in front of a mirror) and starts whirling around and taking off her clothes. The boys are hidden under the bed, and there are few looking through a window with binoculars and their eyes start getting big.
You can see why that scene would get stuck in my head and absolutely nothing else. I feel like it could have been a 90s or early 00s movie, perhaps made for TV.
Edited by Kellanvedopen80s or 90s dreamy live action fantasy! please help me it's been 87 years! Film
so i saw this movie on netflix a few years ago, i wanna say around like 2011 but i'm not sure. anyway, it was a really dreamy fantasy movie that had a long name i'm pretty sure. i really wish i would've paid more attention to the title but here we are. it's driving me crazy. sidenote: it's not legend starring tom cruise and tim curry—that mystery has already been solved thankfully. details i remember: - there was a guy with brown hair that was kinda spiky, he reminded me of like a tarzan boy kinda? like he was just wild/dirty lookin'. - there was at least two main women protagonists. one had long blonde wavy hair, i don't remember what the other looked like. the woman with the blonde hair though was in a scene where she was like laying down in some vines or something and talking to herself and it was very hazy and pink and dreamy/fairy-like but i'm not sure if she herself was actually a fairy. i think there was some sort of a love triangle between these three main characters but i'm not 100% on that either. - everything was super glittery and there were pink hues everywhere, as well as plants. - there was a scene with the main guy and the other girl where they were in this weird clock/artifact room or something with this old guy and they had like an argument i think - hot air balloons may have been involved, or at least some sort of weird aircraft - there was magic involved - i keep saying it was really dreamy because a) it was really hazy footage so it was just super ambient and b) i felt like the plot kind of meandered and was disjointed at times like a dream. so dream dream dreamy - i don't actually remember the plot but i do remember that at least the main guy was an outsider to this fantasy magical place and i'm pretty sure he got there on the hot air balloon/aircraft somehow - i don't believe any of the actors were super well-known and it seemed like it wasn't a super popular movie that was in theatres. it was pretty obscure, which is why it's been so hard to find again for me!
that's all i remember and it is absolutely killing me please help me find it i've been wanting to watch it again for the longest time! thank you!
openOld Cartoon I Can't Remember Film
So I saw this clip a really long time ago and can't for the life of me figure out where it's from. All I remember is that there's this woman who travels to this tribe with an Aztec vibe and she's there exploring and trying to teach them. And there's this scene with her in a makeshift classroom and she starts trying to explain a map to this one native guy. And he's like "That's not the land. I've seen the land and it's much bigger". And she then explains "It's just a small version of the land and that ita not to scale. And that's all I remember.
Sorry, I know that's not a lot to go off but if you have any idea please let me know.
This movie was made in the late sixties or possibly in the seventies. The movie starts with a male actor in a courtroom in some small town courtroom which I think is in Florida. He's found guilty and escapes from the courtroom. There's then a five or ten minute car chase through roads and bayous (?), at least it looks like them. He manages to escape from the police. Later in the film he pilots a submarine with some criminals to find something. I believe the trial and chase were all a setup to get to the criminals. Would appreciate anyone with a good memory.
