openMovie About Heat Vision Goggles That Turn Invisible Film
I saw a badly made movie once, and I don't remember how or where, but I'd like to be able to track down the name of it if possible. As I recall, a young adult or teen, along with some of his friends, get their hands on a new piece of military technology. It's a special pair of heat vision goggles. Once he puts them on, he can't take them off again, so he can only see heat, and not light. Then, at some point, the goggles turn invisible. They all go on some kind of adventure, and the goggles are both an advantage and an obstacle, so he and his friends have to help each other out. At some point, as he is failing to get used to seeing only heat, I remember him saying in a half-crazed voice, "I am at one with the UNIVERSE!"
Any ideas?
openVoting - unanimous decision Film
I don't remember if this was a movie or a tv show. There was some kind of voting and only one person didn't agree. Then someone said that he want it to be an unanimous decision and that last person raised his hand reluctantly. Probably that one person was a main character. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
openMovie about a man and his Autistic Nephew Film
There's this movie about this guy and his nephew (whose autistic) does anyone know the name of that movie?
openPhone call from beyond on children's phone Film
I remember seeing a live action movie probably from the 80s or 90s where someone communicated with ghosts using a children's toy phone. Probably something family friendly and not r rated because I saw it with my parents, but we had the exact toy phone in the movie and it creeped me out for awhile. The phone was one of those Fisher Price rotary ones like this:
openTv show: Sci-fi, space, astronaut, glowing alien force Film
Hi guys, I watched this tv show around 2008 and I believe it only lasted for a season. I was about a couple of smart people who were brought together and sent up to an international space station to study an alien force. I believe that they discovered the small alien force on a planet that looks similar to Mars and it might even have something to do with the title. The force has chosen each of the characters specially for some reason. It is set in the future with awesome future gadgets and technology, such as stem cell regrowth. Scenes I remember: 1. The astronauts discover from a pile of rocks a beautiful glowing alien small bodyless cell is found. 2. On of the girls gets a business card and scanned it over her phone and it automatically starting calling the Nasa like agent. 3. On of the males gets a bucket tattoo on the bottom of his foot because of some inside joke he has with one of the female characters. 4. During an argument in the space shuttle a character gets her finger accidentally cut off. But not to worry, there stem cell technology healed it up in no time. 5. Flash back to a female character working on a desert project and she hears a super high pitched sound and passes out for a couple days. Later we find out this is the alien force choosing her.
Thanks I have spent lots of time trying to find it I hope someone remembers it!!
openPlease Help Film

There was this scene where 2 robbers try to streal a painting, they were portrayed as stupid robbers(outfit and all tht). in another scene someone removes outer layer of the painting to reveal the signature of an artist. i guess there is also a scene where a girl throws pink paint ( not very sure of this).
openName of tv show or movie in the 90s Film
I remember a bit from either a TV show or a movie that I saw in the mid 90s. The only scene that sticks out in my mind is where some masked individual jumps out of a high school locker and pulls in some kid back in the locker and starts slashing him with a knife.

openantology horror movie Film
This is an antology horror film with at least three stories with a twist. One is of a couple who is persecuted by two criminals but it turns out the woman is on that since the begining as she wants to get rid of the guy. Another story is in a hospital with a guy I think escaping the police and at the end is a mental hospital where the inmates rebeled, killed all the nurses and medics and now run the place, making a surgery on the poor awaken guy.
open90’s or early 2000’s Film
Very vague memory of a cartoon movie/show that featured villains that look like the mayor from a nightmare before Christmas however more regular cartoon like. The villains met or lived in a black space like area. I used to rent it at blockbuster when I was a young child. Their heads popped off at times I’m pretty sure. It could have been its own video tape or possibly an extra before some other video. The villains are far triangular prisms with pointy heads and hats.
openTwo old animated movies I can't remember! Film
Hi, my first post ever!
I want you to help me find these two movies, this is all I can remember about them:
1. A grim dark animated kids movie, little dance numbers included, with a kid who happens to kill a cat and then its ghost haunts and talks with him during the rest of the movie. Pretty messed up, I know.
2. An animated puppet movie (series?) with the, I would like to say, children of well known monsters. I think the protagonist was the son of Frankenstein's monster and that it happened in their school (which I think was a castle).
Any clue would be much appreciated, these two wreck my mind the days I remember them!

openmedieval sci fi comedy Film
Ok, this is a weird one. A comedy film about a medieval knight and his crew in some other planet or a spaceship abducted by a single-gender race of dwarf orange aliens (all played by little people) with weird noses. The knight dresses like King Arthur in the Monty Python movie and at some points faces his own clon.
openA Mary Pickford film Film
Does anyone know which film this scene is from? I saw it in a documentary about Pickford. I know it involves a baby dying, or something to that effect.
openBlack and White POW movie Film
I'm looking for an old POW movie, it is in black and white so probably 40s or 50s era. It is not Albert RN or Stalag 17''.
It is a movie about a wheeler dealer in, I think, the American Military who is moved around various POW camps including being sent to a logging camp where the other POWs think he is a traitor and try to murder him with a meat hook or logging hook. He eventually escapes near the end of the war, after he makes contact with a female member of the resistance who is an optician or optometrist. He also manages to trick the German guards at the logging camp into burning down their own camp at one point.
Can anyone help with this? Again, it is not Stalag 17

opencampers get attacked Film
This is a Made-for-TV Movie about a couple camping in the middle of the mountains and they are taken in the middle of the night for an alleged cop. It turns out is just a psycho impersonating a cop. The guy is eventually left behind, but the psycho and his girlfriend (a mature woman with two kids) keep the girl kidnaped for a while. The girl is blonde, the psycho had beard and lots of tattoos in his body and wore a baseball cap and a flannel shirt. Is from the late 80s or early 90s. It’s been bugging me for years.
