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.
openA Film about an introvert Film
I already tried to "reverse-engineer" the name of this film by going through tropes I think would describe it, but it seems to be a bit underground. The movie is about a recluse that spends all his time at home. He's constantly on the internet, and one day, meets a girl. She seems to be into him, so they constantly chat, and she tries to get him out of his house, but he won't. He even orders haptic suits for them to be "intimate" through the internet but she thinks it's creepy. In the end they agree to meet at a train station, and it seems he does manage to go meet her.
openFire Safety for Vampires Film
I remember an old fire safety video that was shown in Elementary school, back around 2002-04, about a bunch of kids who trespass onto a guy's property. Basically, they enter the house and note how dusty everything is, how there are rags scattered about, that the guy has a space heater, stuff like that. So then one kid finds a box of Count Chocula cereal, which activates a hidden doorway, leading to the discovery of a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire , whom they leave with a fire safety instruction video. We watch the Vampire watch the video (One scene recommends calling for help, at which point he starts howling like a wolf), and the kids come back later to find that not only has the vampire made his house safer, but he also joined Transylvania's Fire Department. Does this sound familiar?
openA CGI movie where flowers don't exist anymore Film
I remember a scene from this All-CGI Cartoon movie I once saw on tv where this girl is walking with her brother in a futuristic city where all plant life has been removed, and the girl says to her brother "I saw a flower in my dream!" and the brother says "flowers aren't real". The CGI was really low grade, and it wasn't The Lorax, I'm sure of that. Can anybody help me?
Edited by Loopytires55openLiteral tongue down the throat Film
I saw this sliver of a scene when I was a kid, and I've been trying to find it for ages. I'm pretty sure it was a live-action movie, but it very well could have been a TV show. These two guys (one of whom looked a lot like N*SYNC era Justin Timberlake) somehow end up at a party that I think was populated by monsters that look like regular people. One of the guys starts making out with a woman who literally shoves her tongue down his throat, causing him to choke. And there was a gory shot of... something. As a kid, I thought it was his throat bursting open, but I'm not sure. That's when I stopped watching. It was around Halloween sometime in the mid to late 90s. I also vividly remember the two guys screaming while being trapped in a tight space of some sort. They may have also been surrounded by fire? The tongue-down-the-throat thing to kill the guy is easily the most vivid memory I have of it.
openKitchen Sex Scene Movie Film
I'm looking for a movie that had a scene where a man in a cowboy hat was peeling or washing potatoes, and then started talking to a woman in a orange two or three piece dress, and then they started having sex in the kitchen.
openFinding My Childhood Trauma Film
There's this movie about a zombie infection going around on a plane. The protagonists of the movie are these two airline stewardesses. The first zombie comes to be when a man helps another man with his luggage, which turns out to be an infected rat which bites him. Eventually, one of the protagonists becomes a zombie and in the end the remaining survivors are rescued.
openWeird movie or show from the 90s Film
Does anyone remember this really weird movie or show from the 90s? All I can remember about it was that there was a fish and I think it ate like an engagement ring or something and then the people caught the fish and found the ring inside it maybe? And I can distinctly remember at some point apparently something smelled bad and one of the characters held his finger horizontally under his nose. And there might've been a scarecrow at one point. Lol I know this is a long shot, but I've been trying to figure this out for years. TIA
open3rd in a franchise Gremlins-esque movie Film
I remember seeing the end of some movie, I'm fairly sure it was the 3rd in its franchise, and the plot involved tiny monsters à la Gremlins or Critters, but I looked up both of those and it wasn't them. There was an extra-large one of the monsters because it had eaten a bunch of the others and gotten large and strong, and the protagonists defeated it by hiding a bomb inside a motorised toy and feeding it to the monster. Anyone know?
openGuy and magazine Film
I remember watching this show when I was little, but never finished it. The show looked like from the 90s. Well the thing I remember most about it is that the guy was looking at the magazine and there was a dog there on the page he was looking at. Then he made the dog come out the magazine and the place of the page where the dog came of was then blank. I also remembered him making a woman from a page come out as well. I think the guy was teenager as well. Thats all the stuff i remember from the show. Does anyone know the name of this show?
