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. :)

openHorror movie about a House built with glass that has ghosts in it? Film
2000s ish film about a fancy glass house that had clockwork doors. the ghosts inhabited it?
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.
openOld black-and-white movie Film
I didn't actually see this, but a friend described it to me. He said it was an old black-and-white movie that he saw on TV in the United States. So it might actually be a TV show. He said that the characters were having a party, and the musicians started playing a song that made a lot of the people start fighting. Someone broke up the fight and told everyone that they shouldn't play that song, because it was a "Union song" which would rekindle feeling of the Civil War and make people start fighting. That is, not a union like a trade union, but the Union as it was in the American Civil War. This implies that many of the characters present were from the Confederate states. After that fight was broken up, one character stood and proudly announced that he was in the Union army. This made the other characters resentful.
I asked him if it was a Western, and he said that it was "like a Western, but it didn't have a cowboy theme. It was more like they were mountain men or something."
The only other thing he told me was that it made him laugh because of the outdated slang and other outdated terms used. If this film was supposed to portray the aftermath of the Civil War, I don't know if these outdated terms were supposed to be from that era or from the time the film was made. He couldn't be specific about any of these slang words.

open"Negative Fish" Film
I vaguely remember seeing this movie playing at our local video store back in the early 90's. The part I can remember showed a teenager with long dark hair and sunglasses looking at the camera, with a negative filter over the image. He says "Negative? I'm not negative...look, I'm a negative fish!" and makes a fish mouth with his own mouth. Then there was this part a minute later where it shows the guy's face on a drawing of a fish, and a drawing of another fish walks by on the bottom, and somebody's singing "Watch out for the Negative Negative Fish!" Can't find anything about that.
openI think it’s a sci-fi show, maybe a mystery detective Film
I only remember a snippet of a scene: there’s this supposedly blind lady in court (who I think is there for committing a crime) and the protagonist walks in, throws a pair of sunglasses (like the ones blind people wear in shows) and the blind lady plucks them out of the air with superhuman reflexes. Also, later in the episode, the protagonist takes down the blind ninja lady, after having his or her ass handed to them, by striking her then going completely still.
openHelp me find my show! Film
I'm trying to find a show. I'm pretty sure this is an episode of something. The premise is an e-sports event. A guy is drinking some sort of drink that is increasing his abilities like reaction time. The girl on the other team finds out and starts drinking the same thing. All of a sudden she "snaps" to a post-apocalyptic future in which she is a sheriff, married, and has a kid. Everyone who drank that stuff did the same kind of snap and when they wake up they freak out because they have no recollection of their life between the snap. These people are looked down upon and I think they are part f the reason the future turned out the way it did. Eventually she finds the asian guy that gave her the stuff initially and takes more to go after the guy from the competition who is with a rebellious group.
That's the best I got

openGirl’s Childhood Cartoon Film
So I have an extremely vague memory of a cartoon I used to watch as a child in the early 2000’s. It followed three girls who led secret lives where they were fairies or spies or something. It was very similar to Winx Club, W.I.T.C.H. or Totally Spies, but I don’t think it was any of these three. I had a toy wand that was from the show’s brand and it was a pink “fairy”/magic wand that was round in the middle and clear, so you could see little colored balls stacked on top of each other in the wand’s entire handle. I think they might have been removable, but I’m not sure. It was kind of an anime-style show, but not sailor moon. Please help!
openShow from my childhood Film
So I don’t remember really anything about this show, except for a couple things 1. It was for kids, maybe toddlers 2. It had sentient vehicles 3. One of the episodes was about a library that caught on fire and all the cars helped put it out ( I think it was a library) 4. Another episode was about a race, and the main car was pushed into a pit and started leaking oil, but ramped out because he believed in himself 5. The last thing I remember was that there was a tugboat ( his name might have been Oliver, but I’m not sure)
openTv show Film
So when i was in jail i was watching this tv show and cant remember the name of it for tge life of me. I only seen 1 episode and from i remember there was a white couple and they had an adopted black boy is is probably around 8 or 10 years old. The husband or bf said he was going somewhere and killed somebody and wrapped the body up and put him in the back of his black range/land rover and went home. And the wife/gf took the vehicle unknowingly knew there was a body in the back. She went to the mall and stole a bunch of cloths for their adopted black son and while she was putting the cloths in the back of the range/land rover and she seen tge body but wasnt to suprised. I'm guessing she knew her husband/bf kills people. She went home and parked in the garage. And their adopted son invited and friend and his friends mother over for dinner without asking permision. So tge adopted kids parents were freaking out because they had the body in the back of the land rover. And when they showed up for dinner they tried acting as normal as possible. Also the mother of the adopted black boy was trying to get him into some private school and was trying to bribe the lady into getting her son into the schooll. I wish i remembered a little more. Hopefully someone can help me find the name of this show
film or drama, but I remember it s gay themed, a rich man falls in love with an indian butler/bartender in a hotel...its full of intrigue and suspense
