I'm looking for an animated movie that often aired on the German TV channel "Super RTL" around Halloween. It was about a werewolf, vampire and Frankenstein monster realizing or being told that they're not scary enough anymore and that everyone is more scared of newer monsters. The antagonists were those newer monsters which were all Expys for newer horror movie monsters, like a female version of Chucky (who had a TV theme going on for some reason), a pasta-themed amalgamation of Freddy and Jason (with a cutlery-glove and a hockey mask) and pretty much a xenomorph from Alien.
Ring any bells?

Around 1995, I saw a movie in which a woman was experiencing some uncanny visitations. It turned out that the visits were by herself, from some alternate universe or suchlike. She then had to decide whether to sacrifice herself for the other version, os something like that.
I used to think that the movie had Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead role, but by now I guess this was wrong.

This is gonna be a hard one but here goes: There was this video in 2008 of World Of Warcraft that showed a paladin soloing Onyxia with some really overpowered new power they had. Anyway I remember the video had a trance song I really liked in the background. It had lyrics but I can't for the life of me remember any. I couldn't tell if the singer was male or female. The video may or may not still be on youtube.

This is a huge longshot, but I really can't remember much. There was a PC game, I think a puzzle platformer kind of thing. The main character was a young boy and the whole thing was his dream. I remember there was a construction site themed level of some sort. This would have been late 90s - 2000s. Any of this info may be misremembered so any suggestion you can throw out is welcome. Thanks a lot.

(Listed this under "Not Sure" because I didn't see a Theater category) There is a musical, I think it takes place in the North American colonies, and a long time ago I heard one of its numbers. It is sung by a one-eyed gentleman who wishes to point out that older men (such as himself) make better lovers. What's the song and what's the musical? Thanks.

I remember seeing a film about TIME TRAVEL, they use a "fossil claw" or "fossil footprint" of a LIZARD LIKE humanoid that lived among DINOSAURS to go back in that time... Then they kill a TYRANOSAUR there, I think by accident or by self defense. When they try to come back, the PRESENT IS RULED by those lizard creatures... So, they manage to go back in time again and kill the humanoid-lizard in the past. In the end they come back to present and everything is fine... Looks like a 60's-70's or early 80's movie...
Anyone??

A movie I saw in 1982: it was about this white basketball player who had some kind of leg injury that kept him out of the pros. His black friend was a professional basketball player. The white guy was somewhat depressed and in one scene, he was in the bathtub talking about killing himself. His black friend dunked his head under the water to show him he didn't really want to die.

It was a movie about a cop and his dog. The dog dies and then later possesses a criminal who then starts acting like a dog.

I saw this on cable, around 1995/1996 , I think it was cinemax (latin america). It was a crappy science fiction show, about inter dimensional travel (and maybe time travel) and other planets, there was an annoying old man and a teenager , They traveled in some sort flying van or RV (it had optional wings) , that's all I remember !

Wondering about the title of a movie I used to watch in elementary school music class about every month. I must've seen it a hundred times. It was a historical film about Bach and a boy who was his apprentice, but just wanted to be a construction worker. The main story was about Bach's conflict with the church, because the church "liked the old hymns" but Bach wanted to compose new ones. The antagonist was a spindly, anxious man who wore a long curly brown wig. The little boy's name was Frederick. At the end Bach gets to play his music and Frederick gets to be a construction worker. It was a film that was only on VHS, but I watched it at both my elementary school and middle school (which were across town from each other, so it couldn't be too rare). It was probably made in the 1980s. I think it had pretty bad filming. I can't figure out the name and it's killing me.

When I was younger, in the late 90's early 00's there was an animated TV show I think on channel 5. there was a group of creatures in this ship-like thing on the sea and they'd go off and on adventures, they'd get out of the ship by standing in tubes and being shot into pods in the sea. I feel like I remember one episode involving a cave if that helps.
I've looked everywhere on the internet but can't find anything about it, please help.

The music video: A woman changes in a Mens room, thinking its only other occupant is blind.
That's all I can remember—not the song, lyrics, tune, or even if it was an advert for something else. But I remember there being music and her dancing to it as she changed.
It starts off with her entering a men's washroom. She notices a young black gentleman sitting at one end, but he is holding a thin white cane and wearing dark glasses—apparently, he is blind.
Thus, she strips down to her underwear, puts on her makeup, and puts on her other outfit in full "view" of this fellow. All the while his expression remains dispassionate, and he makes no reaction to what is going on in front of him.
At the end of the video, she leaves. Moments later, an older black gentleman—presumably the younger's father—feels his way out of the bathroom stall; the younger hands the older man the cane and grins broadly, revealing he's -not- blind and just got quite the show.

This show aired in Disney Channel Asia some time around 2008-2011 I guess. It's one of those ninja/ kung fu shows. It was about how three kids were becoming ninjas. There was a girl with a whip wearing pink, a guy with glasses and a long ponytail, and another guy with short hair wearing a sleeveless shirt. They were featured in the song Kung Fu Master. Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy0uTxW9tCQ and the characters appear at the times 0:20 0:29 0:52 1:04 1:11 1:25 and so on.
I remember one episode they went into a forest on a mission. The two guys had a bet to see who the girl would kiss first between the two of them. They were fighting over it and the guy with short hair even said that the long ponytail dude was sick so that she wouldn't want to kiss him. In the end she kissed both of their foreheads, but they were still fighting after that.

Okay so for years ive been attempting to find the source for this. Its extremely vivid in my mind and I swear it couldnt have been a nightmare.
I remember it being an episode (or maybe a movie?) that seemed like it would have been an episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark; so maybe 80s/90s, and i dont remember it 100%, but it was two kids walking into a house, and I think they were looking for a female friend, and they looked at a metronome, which was ticking, even though no one was around. They then go into the basement (I believe) and they see their female friend tied(?) to a chair and there were conveyor belts with fake human faces/heads on them. And then the ceiling opens up, revealing what seems to be faceless aliens looking down at the girl, just as the chair that she is sitting on starts moving upward toward them. And theres a bunch of bad 90s SFX and smoke and neon lights, etc. Thats all I can remember. Thanks so much in advance!!!

There was kids book about this little girl who was a real bitch but then she has some kind of dream where she has to fix all the bad stuff she's done. When she wakes up she has a change of heart and apologizes to her parents about how bad she's been. For some reason I remember the girl's name started with A but can't remember anything else

So, I'm looking for this show for a friend. It aired in Canada, probably around 2010ish. Maybe a bit earlier or a bit later. Anyway, it's about group of teens who had magic powers. They had to wear special clothing to use it, and the magic was stored in extremely advanced technology that was shaped like Dice. They lived with an old guy who served as the wise mentor. Each Die had different power. There was a girl with pure white hair, vvv deeply tanned skin, and crystal bluE eyes. She could manipulate ice and snow, as well as water. The leader was a skinny, black haired guy. His die allowed him to conjure blades or kinetic energy.There was a really clumsy, well meaning dude- He was the builder. His die summoned a huge, drivable android. Something happened to the leader guy too. They were fighting this mystical rock monster, and it grabbed him. It took his die and pushed it into the flat of his hand. It phased through, and caused him extreme agony. It also stopped him from being able to use his magic. While he had spare die, it would take years of training to learn how to do it properly with the other hand.
When I was a kid, around 2001-2006, I remember watching some cop show on TV at my grandparent's house, and one particular segment totally scarred me for life. It showed two cops bursting into a woman's apartment (Apartment no. 6) and absolutely wrecking the place, breaking vases, shooting couches, all to look for drugs. However, when they find nothing, they leave and realize that Apartment no. 6 was actually Apartment no. 9 and the digit had fallen upside down. This makes me wonder if this was a comedy show in the realm of Reno 911. I know the realm of police TV shows is not small whatsoever, but does what I just described ring a bell for anyone?
