openAsylum Movie with a twist ending (SOLVED) Film
It's a movie that I saw maybe a year ago. I couldn't catch anything but the ending. two men, one with an eye patch, were talking to a mental hospital ward person, and he tells them something that makes them realise that some dude who escaped had stolen Eyepatch Dude's identity and seduced EPD's wife who was either a nurse at that same hospital or another patient, and Eye Patch dude didn't know. The movie ended with them going "Oh shit" and turning around to leave the hospital, I think leaving the hospital ward confused at their reaction.
Edited by CrispCherryopenName of movie Film
There was a movie that I remembered watching. In this movie, there was like a truck (not a big truck, but like one of those small trucks that people drive.) The main character, who had a thick Alabama accent, took the truck to Texaco and bought a Mounds candy bar and an RC Cola. He was human, but he had a girlfriend who was a pink anthropomorphic rabbit. The pink rabbit wore a yellow dress and high heels with no socks. Anyway, that guy and his girlfriend wanted to get married, but he had other things to do. He had to fight crime. He was like a cop and he had to fight crime. It took him a long time of fighting crime before he could finally marry the girl. It was like 9P.M. on the movie when he got married. Anyone know what movie I’m talking about? Thanks!
Edit: The human (and the movie itself) was live action, by the way, but the rabbit was animated. It was like an 80s movie, so CGI wasn’t really a thing yet. The rabbit was traditionally animated. I remember I had a huge crush on the rabbit.
Edited by TomJerryBugsDaffyDonaldopenThriller film dealing with home invasion Film
Basically, the movie is a thriller. A woman goes to visit, I believe, her sister and brother-in-law, who have a dog.
While there, their home is invaded by two men. One is quite cruel, while the other is somewhat more nice.
I remember how the crueler one kills their do and puts it in a bag.
In another scene, the woman is in the bathroom and uses tweezers or some shiy to pull her finger.
In another scene I remember, said woman stabs the nicer man with something in the head.
In the end, it's revealed that the woman is apparently hallucinating.
resolved Animated Film about Ancient Greece/Rome (Solved) Film
In middle school, we watched an animated film about either the Greek or Roman empire (Probably the latter.) I didn’t see much of it, just the beginning. The opening scene has stuck in my mind ever since.
It begins going through the woods, passing several posts with deer skulls attached to them. It then arrives at a group of tribal men (Probably Celts) gathered around a fire, all dressed in robes and wearing deer skulls. The leader then begins to list off various injustices committed by the Empire against them. The leader finished by stating the worst thing the Greeks/Romans have done to them; cutting off everyone in the tribe's right hand. They then all raise their arms to show all their right hands missing.
After this, the film begins properly, focusing on a Roman/Greek man and his slave. I remember him describing each character as he met him.
Edited by datadoggieeinresolved Movie... Film
I remember seeing a trailer for an (chinese?) fantasy action movie. I think it contained magic.
What was most notable, is that multiple characters, who have been captured by the opposing side, have been bound by the wrists and suspended in the air.
Does anyone have a clue?
Edited by Astiopenvideo tape about reptiles, amphibians and birds Film
When I was a kid I was really interested in reptiles and amphibians for some reason. At one point my mom got me this educational video about reptiles, amphibians and birds. I only watched the first two parts but I remember they had songs that also had info about the animals in question, along wiht playing a video showing various reptiles/amphibians. For some reason, I remember the amphibian song the best,, at had a fairly fast tempo and a male singer, and I distinctly remember the line "It's always such a treat, to watch those little feet" as it showed some frogs crawling around. I am wondering if anyone knows what this is in case someone uploaded it to You Tube.
openSeries of urban and dark fantasy movies Film
The movies take place in the modern day. The protagonist is a white woman with black chin length hair, playing a vampire and dressed in black latex, She appears to be part of an underground organization. There's a vampire vs werewolf thing going on, but in one of the movies there's a guy who somehow is both and therefore everyone hunts him down. I'm pretty sure there's also a subplot with the guy who turned the protagonist into a vampire - apparently it went down in the middle ages or the victorian era, and he killed her entire family, deciding to turn her because she had spunk.
openUgly Duckling Inspired Film (Solved; Duck Ugly) Film
From what I remember, the film was very loosely based on the classic Ugly Duckling story, but there was a prophecy surrounding the duckling, and they had a ladybug sidekick (Or something similar) who has a Disney Death at the film's climax. Another thing I remember is that there was a side character that resembled (or was) a Jack-In-A-Box, and the only line from the film that I remember is when said side character refers to the protagonist as "The Seventh Child". That's pretty much all I know about the film and I can't find it anywhere online.
Edited by Redball2050openVet giving girl her bunny Film
Many years ago I was channel surfing and I saw a scene where a woman vet was putting a rabbit in a cage and telling a little girl something like this:
Vet: From now on, your bunny will eat salad, carrots... no more chocolate cookies, okay? Girl: Okay!
It was most likely a movie, but I cannot say for sure that it was not a series. Thanks in advance!
Edited by Azure-Reflexopen3 Levels of Bosses Film
In the Sponge Bob episode “Karate Island”, Sandy has to fight 3 levels of bosses to save Sponge Bob, or something like that. There is something like this in a Teen Titan’s episode as well.
Does this have an origin in a movie, like a Bruce Lee movie, where he has to fight 3 increasingly harder bosses to be crowned? I’m really curious, thanks!
openChildren's stranger danger PSA Film
This was a PSA that was likely made sometime in the 90s, possibly early 2000s. It wasn't McGruff the Crime Dog, or anything featuring a mascot or cartoon character. It consisted of several vignettes:
- A boy talks to someone in an online chatroom about meeting up to trade baseball cards. He leaves the house, and when his mom asks where he's going, he says "nowhere." He meets the trader in the park, and he climbs in the trader's windowless white van.
- A little girl on a playground is approached by an old man who asks her to look for his dog Sammy because he "loves the sound of children's voices." She agrees, so he leads her away to go look in the woods.
- Two middle/high school aged girls are approached by a man in a mall parking lot, claiming he's a talent scout who wants to interview them for some kind of show. He leads them to his film crew, who are waiting with a camera inside a windowless van.
- Some boys and their dads are camping, including one boy and his uncle Johnny, who talks about how he loves spending time with his "favorite nephew." That night, the kid awakes to the sound of someone entering his tent.
"Uncle Johnny, what are you doing here?""Shhh..."
openRomance movie starring Christina Ricci Film
I remember this film with a rather hilarious scene where Christina Ricci's character accidentally bumps into a guy riding a bicycle and they both tumble down into a lake. Don't know the title though...
openA Bunch of Singing Mice People Film
There was this VHS (movie?) I watched way back in the early 90's as a kid. I don't remember much about it save the following:
1: It was a live-action musical type show aimed towards kids, where everyone was dressed up as talking mice, with makeup, ears, and tails similar to "Cats".
2: There were a couple main characters, but the only ones I remember are this one female mouse played by a blonde lady who sort of looked like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors but with mouse makeup, as well as this kind of "Greek Chorus" group of mice who served as backup singers for most of the songs. They were different in that their costumes had mouse masks rather than ears and makeup. Both of them sang with high-pitched voices.
3: I remember a couple songs, but not the lyrics- there was one involving the greek chorus mice singing about a "recipe", but the most vivid one I recall was some kind of dream sequence or something like that: the aforementioned lady mouse was in a black void with haunted house fog covering the floor, and she meets this other mouse, a male dressed in a gaudy suit and hat who acted and sounded like a used car salesman/carnival barker. He sings a song introducing himself as "Something Something Von Mousetrap" (not his actual name obviously; all I remember is that it was long and his surname was Von Mousetrap). The sequence ended with Von Mousetrap trapping the lady mouse in a big metal cage that rises up from the floor around her, and she cries for help as he laughs maniacally, but then it fades away and the lady mouse wakes up. I don't remember what happened in the middle sequence: I think it was about Von Mousetrap trying to trick her into signing some kind of contract or selling her something?
resolved [Solved] Scientist named Henderson has his research questioned. Film
This was a made-for-TV movie, from The '70s, I think. A scientist named Henderson is doing research into contagions. His pretty lab assistant mindlessly pours a dud batch down a drain without sterilizing it first. The scientist shrugs it off, but the girl has angst over it. The girl's boyfriend despises the scientist, and does a soapbox speech at a campus protest. The man starts out like he's praising Jesus, but takes the approach that runaway germs that overrun the world would regard Henderson as their god. "And every day, I would say, 'Thank you, Henderson! Thank you, Henderson!'" The girl almost leaves her beau to bed Henderson, but at the last moment, goes back to her beau. Does anyone remember what this TV movie was named?
Edited by oneuglybunnyresolved Sci-fi movie with Justin Timberlake Film
I remember this Sci-fi movie starring Justin Timberlake where he is in the future and they use their lifetime as currency. When they purchase something, it costs years of their lives.
openHELP FINISHED AN OLD MOVIE'S NAME Film
Hey goodnight, I watched a movie some years ago I think it was a horror comedy where two guys are journeying thru hell & at one point their at a birthday party with clowns like a nightmare then later down in the film, their climbing the stairs to heaven. I think one of the guys had long hair & both dressed in baggy-like clothes. It's a blur & all I remember but it looked like a late 90s movie, does ANYONE by any chance know the name?
openSomething i saw in serbia a long time ago Film
So i saw this movie a long time ago. It was about a woman looking for her son, I think his name was "Sail" or something like that, I dont really know. There was this scene where she paints a room in some cartoonish way in a man's apartment for some reason and when the man comes back, he yells at herfor painting his room and whem she leaves, the man has memories of his daughter. She eventually finds her son at some playground. Anybody knows what this is
openUnknown comedy Film
In this one was a man who was arrested by three policemen and a policewoman, and was saved by his partner, a blonde woman with curly hair. Right after he yells at them "drop your pants" and they do it. Then they run away with the cops left there with their pants down. It was an American film, a comedy. And I think it was a film released from 1992 to 1995.
openHydra purchase Film
Film or tv episode (can’t remember which) in which a group of villagers each buy or are gifted a small patch (one square metre) of a wood in order to stop it being compulsorily purchased and turned into a car park or road.
