Okay so, I once watched this movie and now I can't find it again.
It was about a girl who managed to travel back in time thanks to an elevator, and she came to the same building only like 100 years back or something. There she met a girl her age and after some adventure (I think chasing away the mean man who wanted to marry her mother?) the girl went back home and told her dad about it.
Then the girl and her dad went back in time together and he ended up marrying the other girl's mother and after that they lived happily ever after. Sounds familiar?

This one has been nagging me for years. As I remember it, it's part of a movie. There are girls, in what I think is an orphanage, and they're in a bedroom. One of the girls is telling the others a story, which is shown on the screen. The story has a man, maybe a prince, dying in a forest. A deer comes along and licks his wound, and ends up giving its life so the man can live. That's all I can remember, and I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could tell me what it was from.

Looking for a film which is set in a school/college. There's an art student who's handing his work into his teacher, it sort of looks like this◊ album cover, but in pencil and drawn on tracing paper. Somehow it gets ripped up. While this is going on, the school is having windows broken. It turns out that the main character is punching the windows, but can't remember doing it. He has his hands bandaged up I think. At the end, his friends tape back up the picture and give it back to him.
It was probably made in the late eighites to late nineties. Saw it on the BBC around 10 years ago.

I'm trying to figure out the name of a strange movie that I saw a clip or trailer of a few months ago. I think it's from the nineties or early 2000s. The main character was a fat man who was schizophrenic or mentally ill in some way who wears headphones and may or may not be homeless. I think it was shot on video tape and has a very unconventional structure. I saw it while looking for films similar in style to those of David Lynch. Some of this description might be wrong but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

Only saw the end of this film on TV more than a decade ago, maybe even 2 decades ago, and my memories of it may have changed. It was about a kid who seemed to be trained to be as an escape artist. When I got into the show he is apparently making his escape from some kidnappers. I remember him contorting his body to get off his cuffs. By the end he gets out and is being chased by the crooks. He hides inside what seems to be a public mailbox. A suspicious crook drops a knife inside and the kid gets hurt, but does not shout. Once the crook leaves the boy comes out and goes his way, dropping what seemed to be some origami or small artifacts on the road. And that's how it ended. Anybody knows this?

There was a film I watched a while ago with a plot similar to Bedtime Stories. There was a father and an estranged son (who I believe were both black), and the father was competing with a guy who claims to be a Native American. He gets the upper hand by interpreting his son's drawings, whose results actually carry out into real life. Near the end, the Native guy figures it out and hypes his son on Red Bull to level the playing field.
Anyone remember this? The actor portraying the "Native American"'s name was Thomas [something].

Let's see, it was a football (soccer) themed film set in the European Championships in Portugal (Euro 2004) and it was about a British man sneaking to these matches during his honeymoon in Portugal with an American woman. There was also some comic relief with some guys as sports commentators talking about his little charade as a sort of football match. (trust me, I don't recall it making much more sense IN context)
Was made approximately 2005-2007.

Okay, so I remember watching this movie when i was a kid. I remember it being kind of full of Nightmare Fuel, though in retrospect, what little I can remember makes it seem like it was just plain bad. Anyway... There's something about a kid brings home a videotape he wasn't supposed to, and because he played the tape in the player some bad guy inside the TV (who is trying to steal every shade of every color, for some inexplicable reason) kidnaps his little sibling because the color of their eyes is one of the few shades of color he hasn't collected yet. So the kid has to follow their sibling into the TV to rescue them. And so the kid travels through different channels, and there's like, a sci-fi channel, and a yeti (I think), or something, at one point. And as the kid gets to higher numbered channels eventually they reach channels that are all black and white because the bad guy stole all the color. To be honest, I don't remember liking the movie, I just have this weird memory of it and I want to know what it was because it's bugging me that I can't really remember such a strange movie.
A live action movie I saw about a young boy and he has a talking teddy bear. At one point, he cuts his mother's hair with a scissors and keeps the hair and later on, he gets sent to an alternate future and forced to fight in some arena. At some point, his mother dies and he can only bring her back for one day using the DNA from the lock of hair he collected. The movie was a huge Tear Jerker.
