openA bus breaks down in the Playboy Mansion? Film
A while back, maybe 10 or more years ago, I saw a movie review on Extra! about a movie in which a bus full of college guys breaks down near/at something like the Playboy Mansion. That's really all I remember of it, but I think the title had something to do with a fox. I know this isn't a lot of information, but I hope you guys can help.
opencartoon where kid and his grandpa time travel in blimp Film
It may be cristian. It’s animated. The travel in time to learn important life lessons. It’s probably from the 2000’s. They are humans, and there’s a villain but idk what he looks like. The grandpa had white hair and a mustache.
openWizard of Oz Adaptation without dialogue Film
My roommate watched this movie for a theatre class, and it sounded so interesting, but I can't remember what it's called. She described it as an origin story for the Tin Man, with romance. It had no dialogue, but I'm certain it wasn't a silent film; rather, it was an artistic decision. The movie might even have been in black and white, but I couldn't say for certain. I'm also pretty sure that the title did not involve "wizard", "oz", or "tin man". I'm pretty sure the title was short, one or two words, and that Dorothy, scarecrow, etc. do not feature. I have checked the list of Wizard of Oz adaptation on tvtropes, Wikipedia, and the wizard of oz wiki, and none of them seem to fit the bill. It may have originally been a play (she was watching this for a theatre class) but it was probably just a short film.
Edited by inspibrain101open80s themed jukebox musical Film
I once saw part of a Jukebox Musical film where the songs were all top 40 hits from the 80s. I think the premise might have been a group of women who went to college together in the 80s reuniting for a vacation sonewhere exotic - at any rate I remember a mostly female cast, Scenery Porn, and hits from the 80s being sung in a present day setting. The only specific number I remember was "Don't You Want Me", which actually averted the Isn't It Ironic? effect - the context was an annoyingly persistent ex boyfriend trying to win back one of the main characters.
Edited by MikeKopenPlease name the movie title Film
I saw a short scene from the movie on youtube. Maybe a teenager movie. The scene i saw takes place in an amusement park and especially, a teenage looking girl about 16 years old, in a short skirt bends over and a guy and another woman see her behind. So what's the movie?
openOld Alphabet VHS Film
I remember watching this old video about the Alphabet when I was young, but I don't exactly remember the title. It has some weird guy in a uniform and a psychedelic background. What was this video?
openOld movie about pirate? Film
I remember watching an old movie in school once. One of/the main character(s) was a famous pirate. I believe the other main character was either royalty, in an arranged marriage, or poor. The pirate falls in love with her (Or she falls in love with the pirate). I believe that the movie began with a map of the islands where the movie took place. These are the scenes I remember 1. The pirate is climbing around the town. At one point, the teacher stopped the movie to point out that you could see the corner of the set in the sky (The pirate was on a balcony and you could see where two walls met in the background). 2. The circus/fair comes to town and ends up looked in a cage (Or, more likely, the police catch him and arrest him) 3. The pirate jumps around while explosions go off in the background. I believe it was very dark (As in little light, not tone) and there was a fight going on. The teacher reminded us that this was before CGI (40's or 50's) so all the explosion were real. 4. A fight in a fancy house. The pirate (Or someone else) gets smashed in the face with (At least one) vase and possibly a painting. He was fighting/capturing someone. I believe that the love interest was the daughter of someone who was trying to catch the pirate. The girl said, in the beginning of the movie, that she wanted to be taken away by the pirate. I believe the movie was fairly well known/a classic.

openMovie about Hiroshima bombing Film
When i was in highschool in 1999 or possibly 2000 we saw this movie about Hiroshima during the bombing. It wasn't a documentary and it wasn't based on a true story I don't think. I distinctly remember a preacher as one of the major characters an at one point someone asks him if everyone speaks the same language in Heaven and he said he didn't know.
opensesame street VHS educational movie Film
hi, I remember watching this on VHS it was probably made in the late nineties or early 2000s. it was about learning numbers and such, I remember in one part it was Egyptian themed and there were cards that flipped over. I'm pretty sure Elmo was in it... it was definitely a movie
openAlien show/movie Film
I remember a show or maybe a movie that contained the following things: There are aliens that are coming. Children pointing at the sky and chanting "they are coming" Dad comes home and walking in children's room with family and murders them and then murders himself. Somewhere in the middle a kid gets possessed by alien and i think dies. i looked it up and its not the mist
openTV Show Film
I saw a tv show and couldnt remember the name. It has an asian or korean main character that rides around on a bike and can basically get you whatever you want. In the episode he sells cocaine to this guy and his girlfriend, rides his bike to this Mexican girls house where 3 tough mexican guys are sitting at the kitchen table, he also sells a laptop, is always answering his phone for clients, towards the end of the episode he pulls up to a stop sign next to a cop and you find out the cop is his brothers, shortly there after he gets robbed and a bunch of pills and money fall out of his backpack.
openShow about an American family. Film
I think it was an American show.
All I remember is this scene where a kid is telling his school about his experience spending a day (maybe more), with his family in a bomb shelter. I think it might have been something like a nuclear bomb scare or something like that and that's why they went in. As he was about to finish his speech in front of the whole school and felt pretty cool about himself, his dad shouts from the audience and tells him to tell the joke about something (something that happened while they where in the shelter, can't remember the actual thing he said), which makes him feel dumb in front of the whole school, maybe they make fun of him. All this happened in an auditorium or a gym in the school. And that I think the kid might have been the principal character because he was narrating.
I believe the family consisted of two parents, the boy and maybe two girls. The father was kind of a short guy, I think he's an actor that has been casted as the funny dad type more times (could be wrong).
Hope this is enough information.
openKIDS scottish Tv show or movie 80s, 90s or 2000s Film
hello, this is one of my last resorts! I have been looking and researching this show ever since it came to mind. The show is for kids and I remember it being on VHS it was about some kid ghosts and their grandpa (i think) that lived in an old maybe Scottish castle! I was only young when I saw it and I saw it in the early 200s but I thought it might have been an uncles or cousins movie since it was my gran's movie, not mine! help if you can it would be much appreciated
openTiny creepy faces and a car explodes! Film
I remember seeing this on TV sometime in the 90s, when I was a kid. Someone (I think it was a woman) is investigating something and they are looking at a photograph, when they notice a small dot on the photo. They get a closer look with a magnifying glass and are shocked to see that it was a tiny, creepy looking face. Soon after, they get into a car, something happens, and the car explodes or is set on fire or something.
I'm not entirely sure that the two scenes are from the same movie, but I believe they were. The film may have been part of a series, too. I seem to recall there being a number in the title, or at least it was shown during a spooky movie marathon or something. Can't say if it was a made for TV movie or a theatrical film, however.
Edited by IanNaxieasopenScooby doo Wacky Races? Film
This is a film I used to rent from the video store, so think early 2000s, but definitely made before that. It featured Scooby and Shaggy racing, but here's the thing, it's definitely not Reluctant Werewolf. The other racers were all characters from other Boomerang shows, and it seemed like a special not made to focus on a specific show. It reminds me a lot of Wacky Races, but just with characters from several different shows. I've watched it a handful of times, but have never seen or heard of it since.
openSome movie about a haunted island Film
I remember a movie back then, the ending haunted me as a kid. So basically what i remember is that there's an island, there's a house. A family moves in, hauntings ensues, the father slowly turns insane and tries to murder his family but in the end comes to realization and then escapes with the family with a boat, leaving the island. The ending has the ghost girl screaming so loudly that it shapes everything back to the way it was, waiting for a new family to arrive. Anyone know what movie that is?
Edited by Tommyzz123openLive Action CGI Movie Film
I remember watching this movie a couple of years ago and now I can't remember the name of it. It was a live action, CGI movie (like the smurfs movie or alvin and the chipmunks). It was about these hamsters, I think, and they were some kind of heroes I think, I remember one of them was actually a mole who turned out to be the villain because his parents were killed by humans or something like that.
openKid show about animals, in a grassy/ mountain area Film
I'm looking for a kid show about animals that all lived in a mountain area, I remember it being grassy... the main character is a white animal (panda?) and lives in a little home. There were other animals in the area that he was friends with. I know this isn't a lot of information but I've not been able to find anything anywhere else.
(Meant to be a funny 30 second scene in the series) Main character, probably an agent, is chasing down a bad guy in a parking lot. He then run through a bus in which he came across an old friend who is also an agent from another department chasing down the same guy. They exchange a few words. Then the old friend says "I will see you when I see you" and dissapears. He later shows up in the show for a few seconds. Like a funny spontaneous minor character.
Please help me find this show. The scene have drive me crazy for years. Name of the show or even a specific episode would help me a lot. Thank you in advance.
