openUnknown 1950'S-era horror piece Film
Not much to go on here, but this is what I've got. On the anniversary of a despicable character's demise, those that got rid of him gather and behold, his servant releases said baddie from the tomb, alive somehow but his face bandaged up as he recalls how he was wronged (in his eyes) and how he will seek revenge. Old, very talky, B&W, and the servant was an obedient type, not apt to ask him to relent for his own sake. The only other thing I have is that it was on Channel 11 WPIX-NYC's Saturday movie show 'Chiller', the one with the six-fingered hand rising from the swamp. I have searched this site : http://www.dvddrive-in.com/Chiller/chiller.htm
but with so many movies going by alt-titles upon release and syndie, I've hit a brick wall. I thought it might be 'The Return Of Doctor X', a rare piece of schlock from Old Bogie, but he never seems to hide his face.
openChild Holds Greedy Person as Adventure Hostage? Film
Is there a movie where a child has something a greedy person wants, so they "hold the person hostage" by not giving them the thing in exchange for them taking the child on an adventure or doing another favor? I feel like this might happen in more than one work.
openSo many Movits..... Film
Okay, so I'm looking for two Different things at The moment.
One of them is from a horror movie. It's a flashback from a young boy's perspective. He joins his mother at work, she works in a hospital. And we see her in The elevator with an old patient and When she talks to him, he just stares straight ahead. And then When she leaves The elevator, she asks The woman in The front desk Why The old patient was out of his room, and she responds saying that The old patient had died that morning.
And The other is About a girl and a boy, in Their 20's I think, and they meet at a wedding. And he falls for her and wants her to stay, but she says that she's only in town for 2 weeks, and then she has to go Back where she lives. And they post dare, and they are sitting on The floor, a little hidden from everyone and one of them dares The other to steal some of The wedding cake before The ceremony and they do.
That's all I remember.
openMonster movie i saw a clip of as a kid Film
i don't really remember alot of it, but i know that there were alot of trailers for it on Disney Channel in like 2006 or 2007. The scene i remember had like a kid trapped in this webbing and two other people trying to rescue him using a Radio that was like playing monster noises or something to distract the monster, the monster also accidentally changed the radio to play music instead resulting in the monster destroying the radio (I think). And that is all i remember.
openkids video Film
I remember in circa 1990 when i was a little kid we watched some movie in school that started with a live action bit where a bully is, well, bullying another kid (I think the bully's name was Waldo) and tells if he he tells anyone else he will get in big trouble. That night the kid has a dream involving a bunch of puppets that tell him he should tell people about these things. He then wakes up and tells his mom and she says she'll deal with Waldo
Edited by BootlebatopenGuy kills someone for more life Film
So all i remember is that it was a movie where someone or multiple people (not sure) are trying to escape death (maybe death not sure) and if they kill someone else they get there remaining life and i remember one of the people or the one guy killed someone and it worked but the guy he killed had an illness of some sort and he was going to die anyway, Any help would be nice cause my memory is awful.
openMovie that i remember seeing in a restaurant as a young kid Film
there was a show, probably a movie. it had live action characters and animated characters (this was not "Who framed Roger Rabbit by the way) i remember being this one girl in it (live action, not animated). i don't remember much outside of those things though.
openFilm with demonic looking character. Film
I'm asking about an indie film I saw in the early 2000s. It's about a horned man asleep underground who's awoken by (I think..) archeologists. He's not actually evil, a devil or a demon (an instance of Dark Is Not Evil). He's perpetually in a terrible mood, and the press follows his discovery, making him into a reluctant celebrity. After the media attention dies down, the "main" archeologist who discovered him (the other, human, protagonist) begins sleeping with some dude and from that point forward ignores him.
openPlay on PBS Film
Years ago when I was younger I saw a play on PBS that I found absolutely hilarious at the time, if I remember correctly it starts out with almost everyone in the protagonists village being killed by some sort of invaders I think they were supposed to be Spanish. During that scene they find the protagonist's girlfriend I think and they throw into the air a bunch while the narrator says something along the lines of "and they threw her in the air once, twice, three times, and then they stabbed her" In the meantime shes saying something like wee yay or hurrah until they stab her when she breaks the wall between her and the narrator saying wait what? The Narrator would also take breaks from that to play the main characters master, and when he would a man in a t-shirt reading Generic Narrator would take the place of the narrator. I believe they have some recurring song where they sang everything happens for a reason or to look on the sunny side of life or some other hopeful thing.
openHorror show was on Netflix Film
It was a show about a website that people would go on and post murders. There was a woman whose apartment kept getting broken into and the person was leaving the toilet seat up. She was a nurse and ended up murdering someone at the end and left his head in a bag under a bridge for someone to find she posted about it on the website
openScene from a martial arts movie from the 70s Film
This is a scene I remember from an old martial arts film my brother and I saw on "Kung Fu Theater" probably in the late 70s or very early 80s. A big hulking brute of a guy, completely bald except for a pony tail, is one of the villains. In one scene, some kids use (I think) a slingshot to knock a bee's nest out of a tree. It lands on the guy's head and when he pulls it off his face is comically swollen and disfigured. One of the heroes fights him and in the course of the fight he flips over the big bad guy and rips off his pony tail.
That's really about all I remember. Anyone know what movie this might be?
openSome movie, I guess Film
This has been on my mind for sometime now. I saw it once on HBO or some other channel like that, but I'm not sure. It's about this woman who finds out that there's guy who lives near her/lives to the apartment room next to hers (or something like that if I remember) who's covered in hair. I also really remember this scene where he's in a bathtub and the woman shaves all his hair off and he kinda has blood on him (again IIRC). Later (or previously in the movie, IDK) there's this whole talk about more "weird people" like him living in the apartment building?
My memory about this movie's kind of unclear, so that's probably the best explanation I can describe.
openHorror movie? Film
This show is about a girl who was born on a certain day and she was like the Devils something after her birthday? I remember her being taken away in a white van?
openTrippy Children's Films Film
When I was around 4 or 5 years old, the family had some movies on VHS tapes that I would watch over and over and over (and drive everyone else insane), but there were 2 related ones that I remember the most.
One was about two kids who drew a picture together whose dog chases a stick into the painting and ends up putting the kids through a colorful adventure with silly songs and a surprising amount of Fantastic Racism (the only person who loves every color is the one who has none on her, and every time she suggests a duet between two-different colored folks, they always respond with an I Need to Go Iron My Dog excuse). It also serves as an aesop that everyone is beautiful no matter what color they are, which they only learn after the aforementioned colorless person gets injured. A few of the characters from that I can remember are...
- The green teens who always speak in unison
- Their friends the frogs who have seen strange things or so they sing down by the bay.
- The blue trio who never stop singing "Poor Old Michael Finnigan" solely because the song's chorus always states "Begin again."
- The talking tree who introduces the kids to the world
- And the colorless person who wishes everyone would sing together regardless of preference.
The other one involves a trio (I think) of kids who go into their grandparents' (or at least I think it's their grandparents, I'm a little foggy on that one) and somehow shrink down to play with the toys that are hiding around there. The toys' idea of playing seem to be a bunch of loosely-connected musical numbers, which the kids are happy to participate in. The toys I can remember are...
- A Non-Ironic Clown who is often the first to initiate the musical numbers.
- A cookie jar who has an intimidatingly deep voice and only really appears in two musical numbers
I think they were made by the same studio, and/or shared some cast and crew members, hence why I've grouped them both together.
openOld Movie From 2010 or something Film
Okay, so there was this movie I remember watching. It starts with this boy crashing his motorcycle into someone's pool and getting into trouble, and his stepdad comes to save him (may or may not be from the same movie now that I think about it, idk). Basically, he decides to start looking for his dad and him and his stepdad team up with this crazy guy and his daughter and use a helicopter (I think) to search for him. They get caught in a storm and end up on a strange island where really big animals are small and small animals are big. They get in trouble with an animal and the guy's dad they've been searching for comes to save them or something. They reunite, find out the island is going to flood, and take a route to get to the boat and escape. They run into a whole lot of trouble along the way (I seem to remember the mc getting a dislocated leg or something) but they finally make it. Then they find out the boat has no power so they charge it using cables and the giant electric eel and escape. Anyone got any clue what it is???
openMid to later 90's Movie or show where pregnant woman is found dead in car from drowning Film
This is a horror movie i remember sneaking a peek of. There was a clown or carnival element to it. I just remember the scene of a woman's car being pulled and the door open and she is clearly a corpse and pregnant. As a kid i was bothered, but now i love horror and need to find this understand the plot. Thanks!
openCG film i cant remember Film
Im trying to remember this weird cg animated movie i used to watch, it was about this dumb Asian-looking warrior guy, his friend that liked to take advantage of his strength, and a blue monster thing. The only quote i can remember is, "what does credible mean?" "you see (enter name of the blue monster) he is credible", and the only other scene i can remember is of the Warrior guy running around a very small planet. Any ideas?

Edited by ragsorz

I watched this movie around 2010, when there was a section of Youtube where you could watch free movies (Maybe they still do that?) It was an indie film, I believe, that was either partially or entirely in Chinese with English subtitles. It was about a girl living in Chinatown. She was really into Chinese luck traditions, which annoyed the people around her a lot. She had glasses and rode her bike around a lot. I think she had a single mom that was pretty young (But that could be wrong) There was a scene in the end where she gets injured really badly, but, if I remember correctly, she ends up okay. Thanks for helping me out!
