openRare Sci-Fi with sexless villain Film
In the 80s or 90s I saw a movie on cable TV in Russia, I guess it was pirated like all movies shown on that channel. I don't know the name, may be I saw it not from the start. The movie is a science fiction. The main character is a brunette, his face I remember like similar to Scott Bakula, but I am not sure after these years. The plot is somehow connected with the human organs trade. Some corporations and conspiracies are involved. The main character's eye was apparently stolen, and he spends part of the movie wearing an eye patch or something like this. I also remember that the main villain was sexless (I mean this character had no sexual characteristics at all since his birth, though played by the male actor) and was obsessed with the idea of trying sex, for which he implanted transmitters in the brains of the main character and some girl, which allowed him to experience their feelings. I remember a scene where this sexless man stuck some kind of device down his throat to distort his voice, so that it would become low. It looked like a transparent tube, seemingly twisted into a spiral. There is an assumption that the film is not American, maybe socialist camp, but not for sure. I searched this film in many places for many years, but failed. May be somebody has any clue how to find it? Sorry for possible mistakes, English is not native for me.
resolved Astronauts locked on planet Film
Help me remember a movie about space, in begining was a group of astronauts, almost of them died in an accident, only a man and a woman survived. They were forced to stay on the planet without any things or food, and were forced to sit in some corridors or caves. The male astronaut, I think, was called Luka.
resolved Movie starring a very old actress playing a supposed bombshell Film
I haven't actually watched this movie but I found it time ago browsing this site. It was about a woman who was depicted in the movie as being very attractive, with multiple suitors. The actress portraying her was elderly, with a lot of make up to try to make her look younger. I think it may have been an actress who was famous in her youth.

resolved A Dog Named Zeus, And... Film
I remember watching this movie on some cable network back in the '00s or '10s, not quite sure when. It had a dog (maybe a golden retriever, but I am not exactly sure the breed) named Zeus as the protagonist of the story, and it was very much a story grounded in reality besides the dogs being able to talk to one another. I do remember now that it must have been a made for TV movie, as it had that look of having a lower budget with shakier camera work and not even bothering animating the dogs' mouths to move to match their dialogue. Hopefully this is enough of a trail for tropers to go out on the hunt, thanks!
openFIlm between 2001-2004 about a teen getting into huffing? Film
I have a question about a film I watched somewhere between 2002 and 2004
The film opens with two teens huffing something straight out of a can or a bottle or something, like properly sucking it out of it.
Then they start smacking each other
Then an entire "this is how we got here" is the whole film
Then the film ends with that same scene, then what happens just after that. I remember one of them sticking a big shiny sticker on an obvious gash on their head.
They were both female, I think.
Thanks for your help and knowledge
resolved fantasy young adult movie Film
The main character is a young woman, probably in her early 20s. One day she suddenly awakened some kind of psychic powers, but she accidentally erased her parents' memories of her, so she ran away from home. She then met a bunch of runaways who has the same powers as her. This group usually divides the members by the strength of their psychic powers, and I think the strongest category is red. This girl's powers were categorized as red, and I remember the main villain is a guy who was also a fellow red.
resolved Comedy movie where man thinks he's in a play acted adventure, but it's real Film

openHindi bollywood movie Film
I'm looking for a movie that I think was a Hindi bollywood film. It was maybe from the early 2000s or from 2010 to 2014. It was from the brighthouse (the cable company) days and I believe it was a teen drama. I don't remember if it was in English or just subbed.
I cant remember if the students were in college or last year of high school. Some definitely drove mopeds around. There was a boyfriend and girlfriend that ended up having sex one night. The girl was on top of him and her boyfriend decided to get his phone and record her. She told him to stop, but in the midst of the things I guess that's all she did. Nothing was really shown during the scene, you could hear a faint moan and her saying once or twice dont record.
The next part that I remember was the boyfriend and friends would frequent this bar or pool hall. One of the boyfriend's friends stole the phone while they were in this bar or pool hall. The friend decided to take the phone and he saw the video the boyfriend recorded. He took the video off the phone. He started sending the video out all around school. A bunch of people started teasing the girlfriend and the girlfriends mother even saw the video while at the school. Her mom I believe worked at the school.
I never got to finish the movie so that is all I got to work with. Thank you in advance if anyone can figure it out.
openmovie with an overdose scene Film
i've tried searching high and low for this a couple times before with no luck, but i have this distinct memory of only one scene from a movie that aired on tv (something 8+ years ago) that i glimpsed while channel flipping. all i can recall is a young man overdosing on some kind of drugs (i want to say it was pills) alone in a large bathroom stall. the room was bright and the scene felt very cold, including literally/color grading-wise. what also stuck out to me was some of the shots being from an aerial perspective. i'm fairly sure he didn't die, though i couldn't tell you what happened next. the scene lasted for a good little while and i was just captivated by his performance so i'd like to be able to actually know the whole thing! if i had to guess it would have been playing on a channel like fx, abc or tnt...
resolved Animated(?) movie about aliens and a human astronaut Film

resolved A movie about a lonely man who can only get into a relationship with an AI Film
It was a Sci-Fi romance movie.
The opening scene conscisted of the MC narrating an emotionaly loaded letter, don't remember what it was actualy about. As he spoke into a microphone, his monologue was being written down, in the handwriting of a deceased person.
His job is essentially writing letters that look like they were written by someone who was once close to the commisioner.
After the narration is done, he clocks out & goes home. Equipped with a headset in bed, he is going through multiple possible chat partners for the night.
Eventually, MC finds a suitable option that is seemingly just looking for someone to talk to on a lonely night. Only for the conversation to devolve into telephone sex.
The stranger wanted MC to narrate to her how he is forcing a cat's tail down her throat. Also, the MC was extremely uncomfortable during the scene.
The next day, the MC downloads an AI onto his desktop to compensate for his loneliness. One of their first interactions consisted of the AI trying to convince the MC to delete all of his old e-mails. He hesitantly agrees.
Afterwards, the MC goes on a date with a human woman. At first it goes great, but then he blows it right before the end.
The next day, the MC tries to get to know the AI a bit better, and even spends the night with her, chatting about loneliness, love & thelike.
And thats all I remember. Any and all guesses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
openHorror 80's-90's anthology movie Film
It came on late at night about over a decade ago on METV it I think starts with a group of college kids on campus in the day telling scary stories to scare each other. One has to do with two girls lost in the city at night they go to get gas at a gas station but they don't see anyone so they go in back and then are like 3 dogs who bark at them a guy unchains them and one of the girls get mauled to death. Another one is about a killer being in a mall. The last one ends with a skeleton breaking through a door with an axe. Reminiscence of the "heres johnny" scene in the shining, the skeleton prop looks very cheap. Then it ends on a jumpscare with them saying how bad the last on was until the same skeleton slashes at the camera.
Scared me bad when I was younger.

i think it was an asian movie, probably from japan or thailand. the main character is a high school girl who was bullied. one day, her class was going on a field trip, and in the bus, i think the girl was writing/drawing something in her book, when her bullies wrenched it off her hands and threw it to the floor. as the girl crouched to pick up the book, the entire bus was suddenly horizontally split in half, decapitating everyone in the bus except the main character. i don't remember if this was a whole movie or just a horror short.
