openSome action movie Film
I do not remember much about this movie, only that I stumbled upon its ending, and there was some weird fight, two men fought each other on some swinging platform, maybe even a giant chandelier or smth, I don't know, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's how I remember it. Some building, some men, they fight, some swinging platform, I don't really want to say it's a chandelier, but oh well. Maybe they were swinging on some ropes, like that fight in Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Then the building explodes and the survivor (I guess the main character) sits down, I think, and looks at some photo, probably his girlfriend, maybe that fight had been his revenge. For some reason I think he was a biker, probably there was his bike around. And probably this building was a gas station or smth, the fire was due to gas exploding, I think. I watched this scene maybe in 2005 or even earlier, the movie felt like it was probably from the nineties, maybe it is actually from 2000-2005. It had some style in the camera work and the editing, so probably it is not a B-movie. It resembles Torque and Roadracers in the spirit, I think, I watched them but the movie I am searching is something else. It is not The Saint (1997), though a chandelier fight is there. Probably just a childhood fever dream, unlikely though.
Edited by KisujjopenOld Giallo set in a hotel. Film
There was a Giallo film I saw up on You Tube years ago. It should be from the 60's or 70's. I remember it being set in a hotel, a pretty luxurious one. There were plenty of scenes set in a central stairwell over a large drop. One of the killer's victims was a black woman who he killed by tying her up in a bathtub and filling it up do she drowned. During the end the killer has a fight with one of the heros and ends up falling to their death.
resolved Teenager's Lies Coming True Film
American, mid-2000s. A crass comedy about a teenager boy who gains the power to make his lies come true. His life falls apart because of the unforeseen consequence of said lies.
One lie was that his mum and dad were a rock star and a fashion designer, which leads to them filing for divorce.
Any help is great. Thanks.
openEarly 2000's Horror Movie Film
Movie should be from around 2000-2010 probably from the extra half of the decade, I forget the exact year I saw it. It was one of those movies that showed up for free on those on-demand services at the time so I giving it a watch. From what I can remember, it involved a mad scientist-like character experimenting on humans, turning them into some sort of mutants. One scene near the end has a protagonist approach one of the mutants, who used to be a family member of his. I want to say it was his son or daughter. He pleads for them to remember him and seems to get through to it, but as he gets closer, it instead guts him.
openNo Title Film
I've got three that cross my mind from time to time, pretty sure they are all movies:
1. A movie about ants that build these pillars or towers; possibly Phase IV; I'll check that out when I get a chance.
2. A movie about an evil kid who manages to fool almost everyone, but the one person he can't fool he kills in the end by burning a building (a barn?) down on him. No, not "The Good Son"; this was definitely earlier than that, it had a "filmed in the 70s" feel.
3. A horror movie about a family in the countryside that gets infected (possibly by something in the water?). The kids manage to stay uninfected, but some visitors show up and get eaten. I specifically remember one scene where the man from a couple manages to escape to the shed, lights a match to look around, it burns down to his fingers, he lights another one and an infected woman is standing behind him.
Edited by loracarolopenSome fantasy film I saw in serbia. Film
So there's this boy and there's this goblin-liek creature. The boys parents are arguing with some guy with glasses who has some kind of business with his father. The goblin-like creature takes the boy through some kind of magical door that brings them to some worlds, there's a cave full of skeletons, a hostile jungle, and a peaceful valley or cliff (I don't remeber) the boy's parents, and the guy with glasses, follow him and the goblin through these magical doors and when they're all at the valley/cliff, the guy with glasses shoots the boy's father for some reason and runs away but the goblin-like creature heals the father and the guy with glasses ends up in the hostile jungle and whatever hostile in the jungle basically gets him. Anyone know what Im Talking about?
resolved Relatively Modern movie or tv show Film
What I remember, is a family arriving to a town where everyone acts wierd (typical cult town) the main character is a Doctor with his family. After encountering a sacrifice wood altar at the woods he begins to suspect about the weird behaviours of the people in town. One night they wake him up and drag him to the caves, where monsters/creatures that live and lurk in the dark make him help them gave birth of one of this monsters/creatures that is pregnant, because he is a Doctor. The scene is very graphic and dark. The creatures only communicate with growl sounds, and if I remember well have dark-blue/blue skin. So, it's revealed, the "sacrifices" people of this town made were made to feed this creatures for safety.
openLive Action Movie Scene Film
A women enters a man's office and the man says shit. The movie is live-action, PG-13, realistic fiction.
openA horror film/anthology segment featuring a brutal ending Film
This might've been a full horror film, an anthology segment, or a short film. The decade is surely 2010s (or possibly 2000s?).
The story centers around some main characters (Adults? Kids?) in a cave, where things go wrong. But what I remember is the horrifying ending, which I will spoiler tag due to its violent nature: There were kids in that cave, either dead or controlled by a sinister force. They exit the cave and reunite with their parents, and all seems well... until they start killing their parents, maybe through cannibalism.
openOld movie about doctor and disabled patients Film
It is an old, live action movie. I remember that at the beginning, a boy is shown to be struggling, with wobbly notes as that differ so much from notes on previous pages. His mom also said that she saw him point at a direction, saying 'Mom, mom' and never spoke again. That boy grows up, becoming a man with a disability. A doctor is the main character (I think), and I also remember the scene where a woman with the same condition as the boy I mentioned does not talk or respond, but when the doctor throws a baseball at her, she catches it. I've seen it once in psychology class in high school, and it now just went into my head. I hope those details will help me, and you, identify it. Those are all the details I can remember.

resolved French crime comedy film Film
a (fairly recent, last ten years or so) French film about a group of people who get coerced into selling drugs? the opening scenes is of a woman (one of the main characters) living with her daughter on an island after the events of the film, and the first few minutes establish the characters of the main group
one of the scenes i remember is where a guy manages to slap three people at once because they try to give back cocaine that they bought from him
at another point in the film, one of the main characters sleeps with the daughter of a drug lord, although he doesn't know she's the daughter of a drug lord
Edited by NoNameLegionopenOld kids movie Film
It was a kid's movie. I only watched 1 or 2 scenes from the very beginning and this was in like ~2005 so I can be wrong about any details. Supposedly it was a kind of scary movie (scary for kids at least) It starts with a bunch of boys playing outside, I think they were playing soccer. Boys no older than 10yo. Then everyone stops because the gang of bullies arrives. One of the boys whispers about the main bully: he killed a dog and sewed it's ears onto his jacket. It's either an American or a European movie. That's all I have. Have been looking for this for over 7 years.
Edited by LisaPopenLooking for movie, about father and son. (please please please) Film
This movie tells the story of a father and young son, the father has a sickness, and he is the one that takes care of his son, they also live in a small, poor, and tight community. It's modern setting, at some point the son receives a chocolate cake for his birthday, and the father would pick up trash to make money. The son and father are the main plot, it's all focused on them, mostly the father.
The movie might be Turkish. i think there's a part where the kid goes out to help him collect trash, the father had a beard, they both had brown hair, both were white, the kid was pretty small too.
That's all, please and thank you. It's a matter of great urgency.
Edited by emilydickinson7openNo Title Film
I only watched a small scene ten years ago. I remember being implicit that they were in a type of apocalypsis scenario, they could not fall asleep or they were turned into something like zombies or maybe they became part of the hive mind or smt like that. The scene showed a mother with her son in a shopping I think. It had a greenish filter I think. Ty in advance.
openVillain is sucked down a fountain drain Film
I oversaw a movie that my grandparents were watching back in the mid or late 2000s, and this one villain is sent spinning down the drain of a draining fountain. Once he was sucked all the way in, a big bubble glugged up from there
openNo Title Film
This film was in black & white,circa(maybe)1950s.When I was four, I was watching a movie (it was already on) while Mom was flitting about in the kitchen,at about eight a.m. Every other time, my parents were adamant about monitoring All our TV exposure. But the phone rang, & she was sidelined for a few minutes. That being said...a scene in the movie showed a (solarium/ conservatory?) room, located towards the center of the home. With plants, & low lighting, there was a white bassinet, within, with such a darling baby, fast asleep. I didn't see the parents around, but a Cat started walking stealthily into the room. It crawled upon the bassinet, & then atop the baby, where it proceeded to suction the air from that dear child! Of course, I didn't see the rest of the movie, as I started crying & my Mother spirited me away. Never heard of nor saw the movie, again. But, even though it was so upsetting, it's always bothered me that I never finished the movie. Please find it. They say we all have our demons to face. This is mine. TY!
Edited by Pluckiresolved I can't find western movie, can someone help? Film
Movie is about one cowboy, aka main character, i think with no kill rule. During stand off he accidentally kills his enemy. Main character decided to retire because of that. I don't remember much about it, but twist was that aformentioned enemy turned out to be alive and faked his death to break main character. Any ideas what movie is it?
a while ago i watched this series of movies. they were korean i think but it could be a different country. i watched it through a friend streaming them on discord. apparently there were a lot but i only watched a few. i asked that friend about the title and they just said "strange tales i think?" which gives me nothing, do you know how many tales there are bro let alone strange ones. i was wondering if someone knows these films. i remember several of the stories. spoilers i suppose. the stories between the stores were always narrated by this one old man. one of the stories involved a child praying to a shrine that she would get every question on the test right, and it comes true and warps the world around her wrong answers so they are correct, which makes havoc ensue. another story involves a character who gains a condition where they often hear music and have to act along to it, and she finds another person with the same condition. i dont remember exactly how it ended but i do remember they died because of a certain special song. another story involved a man finding a supernatural NES game, which would summon the man's childhood friend who would play the same game with him when he was young. i dont remember a whole lot about this story but i remember something about the childhood friend dying in a river on their way home. another story which i can only remember the concept of was about a world where snobby business men acted like dogs. the last story i can remember and put into words was about a story about half the length of the other ones about a golden egg. i dont remember anything else about it.
if anyone could help me find these films that would be GREATLY appreciated, they were really fun
