openKids shrink down and toys come to life Film
Could be a dream, but I remember kids in a playroom, crawling through one of those collapsible tube things that kids have, and shrinking as they went until they were toy-scale. I think they met a fluffy green or blue stuffed animal, and I remember vague geometric shapes. It’s not grandpas magical toys.
openRed Jacket Demon Movie Film
The cover of the movie has three characters standing next to each other and the middle one is wearing a bright red leather jacket. I confuse the title with Donnie Darko, pretty sure it has the same alliteration. There's a scene in the movie where they're in a supermarket talking to a severed head.
openMovie I saw on TV a couple of years ago Film
I remember some scenes and parts of the plot. The parts between parentheses are things that I'm not sure of.
An orphan teenager or young adult moves in with her uncle and aunt, (or grandparents?). The aunt/grandma was blonde, sickly and stuck up, and the uncle/grandpa ended up revealing that (he was actually the girl's father?) or (he was interested in her?), which of course disgusted her.
Before that happened, she had crossed the forest outside the house, which the man had told her not to do. She ended up finding a little house and fell in love with the (toymaker? carpenter?) guy that lived there, but in the end they couldn't be together because (he died?). I vaguely remember him telling her about his brother.
After the uncle confessed the truth, she left to find a (sister?) who had bad luck in life, lived in a caravan and was upset (because the girl didn't lend her money?) or something (I think she had several brothers and sisters who were raised in the same foster home). She also ends up being saved by an ex-boyfriend during a rainy night and spends the night in his house, but leaves quickly.
She goes to school where some girls bully her because of her background, and finally she graduates and is greeted outside the building by her uncle. She then tells him (she doesn't need him in her life?) and the movie ends.
The scenes might not be in the exact order. Thanks in advance!
openA film about a wrestler Film
At first, the son of a pharmacist wanted to be a wrestler but his dad refused, so the son leaves his home. Many years later, the son returns with his pregnant wife intending to reconcile with his father and open a gym in town. Father and son reconcile, and the son leaves the drugstore for reasons I don't remember. While the son is out, a man enters the drugstore, has an argument with the pharmacist, and kills (or orders a goon to kill) the pharmacist, his wife, and his pregnant daughter-in-law. Later, when the surviving member of that family finds out, he goes to a wrestling arena and fights everyone there.
openRobin Williams movie Film
I'm pretty sure it was Robin Williams. I only remember one scene. Williams character was in a forest, I think he was lost. And he was said that he needed to walk, making sure to keep the sun on his back. And he was also traveling with a woman.
openUnknown Movie Film
All I remember about the movie is that a girl starts a non-face-to-face relationship with a guy, using his dog's name as his username. At the end of the movie, the lady encounters the man in a park. He calls for his dog, at which point the lady realizes she's been in love with him all along (which she was hoping for). I can't remember if the lady had a day job at some sort of office building.
openHorror Movie that ends in "-ella" Film
I have vivid memories of a horror movie from the late 2000's/early 2010's about a disfigured killer who goes after a group of rich girls at a school. And I remember this one specific scene from it where a rich girly-girl is going through her daily routine, narrating to the audience while she does it, but during the narration, the killer breaks into her room and starts brutalizing her, killing her by throwing her out the window where she crashes into a new car bought by her parents.
I'm sorry if this description sounds a bit generic, but I'm curious if anyone would be able to find this for me.
openGlowing tracers rounds being fired from BB guns at neo-Nazis Film
I was watching a film on You Tube or Television (can't remember which but if it was the former it is definitely well-known) and the soldiers from the Islamic Sultanate of Qarsherskiy were firing B Bs that were glowing Green and Red called "tracer rounds" at a group of neo-Nazis near Aiden Stalnik's Forest Lake & Trail in Newport News, VA, USA. I also remember RC boats on Lake 'Aydn and model rockets packed with M80s fired off the boats from the middle of the Lake.
openTwo live-action films Film
I'm trying to find two certain live-action films that I remember my dad having on TV in the background while I was growing up in the 90s, because they have stuck in my head after all of these years, and it drives me crazy sometimes.
The first one I believe may have been anywhere from the 50s up into the 70s, because I remember it had that distinct 35mm motion picture film look to it. Basically, the scene was there was a woman who was being attacked by a group of soldiers in a barn, and as they're ripping her clothes off, a friend/sister/whoever jumps in to try and save her, only to be ganged up on by the same soldiers as well. Finally, their commanding officer casually steps into the barn to dismiss his men, but the two women are obviously very traumatized and yelling at the officer about how they attempted to rape them, only for the officer to casually tell them if it happens again, he will reprimand them himself. And no, I don't believe it was The Outlaw Josey Wales, which somebody once suggested as a possibility (I'd have to look again to be 100% sure).
The second one seemed to have been a far more recent movie (at the time), it was definitely a drama, and maybe even a thriller, I'm not sure. I remember it was a young family who were in the process of building their dream home out in the country, and it all just fell apart from there. I remember some thugs set fire to the house (while it still only the wooden framework), and at one point, attempted to lynch the wife from a rafter - while even taking pictures of her. I also recall their young daughter ran through the woods with a teddy bear or stuffed animal that got caught on a branch, and her tugging on it provided enough of a stall for one of the thugs to pop out from the other side of the shrubbery to give her a jump scare.
openi dont remeber, kids show Film
I remember watching this old vhs tape of a show when I was little (probably in the 80s/90s) that had a black man as a the adult in it with kids sitting down surrounding him. There was a cute teddy bear that would give funny lines and the kids would laugh. T He bear is a puppet but I don't know if he was wearing a blue or white shirt. Then there would be cartoons that would cut in and it was more a educational show. In one the cartoons there this girl who goes inside this cardboard box but then she gets scared, I dont remember why but she leaves the box. In another segment, the girl and another boy are talking to each other separated by a fence. They get in a argument etc. But most of the cartoons leave on a good note. please if anyone knows what this is please tell me.
openAn animated movie about a group of adventurers searching for a magic stone Film
I remember a lot of details about the movie but the plot and name are just so vague in my mind: I think there were around like 7 people in the group, two of them were siblings and they were secretly dragons, there was this tall dark knight guy, two elf women and a burly berserker guy who took up this new guy as an apprentice cause he had potential(?) I think. I remember the new guy like sold his two pet pigs and was forced to join the party because of it. The elves were archers and one of them was the new guy's love interest. The plot was like they were searching for this dark crystal thing that was creating monsters that they all fought repeatedly. Near the end of the movie the love interest elf dies and the knight character betrays them and uses the stone himself. But then protagonist character defeats him cause magic or something and brings his girlfriend back to life and the sibling dragons reveal that they're dragons and fly away. I just need to know what that movie was now cause it feels like a fever dream and I need to know if it is real or not. Like a lot of Dn D vibes to the movie. I remember this one power the protagonist and the berserker had they could like send out a this shockwave like a ripoff conquerors haki and the new guy released a giant one to kill a bunch of the mooks when his love interest dies.
Edited by ParkwayopenLive-Action Chase Scene Film
I'm trying to remember the name of a Live-Action film that had a Chase Scene where someone was using a car to chase someone who was in a train. There was also a villain who spends his last scene escaping on an underground train, waving goodbye at the person who was trying to capture him. In the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, the villain in question is a Karma Houdini. According to my professor for Film and NYC, this was Based on a True Story, and the villain in question got Adaptational Karma in the sequel via Karma Houdini Warranty.
openMicronations documentary Film
A live documentary about the micronations of the world which aired live and featured the Islamic Sultanate of Qarsherskiy, Sealand, Molossia, and other well-known micronation.
openA really terrible Filipino Exorcist ripoff movie. Film
It was a Made-for-TV Movie on GMA. It was about this old lady who got possessed by some demon. I only remember one scene where the lady is in bed talking and has a really bad demonic voice filter doubling as a slight Voice of the Legion. She sounds like she’s crying but with the filter on, she also sounds like she’s laughing.
Edited by AudioSpeaks2openHorror/thriller movie Film
I watched this movie in my childhood and remembers only the starting scene from the movie.. The starting scene is.. In the movie a group of people wearing clothing that covers their faces carries a coffin. Those people were wearing a red color kind of clothing in which their faces are not visible because they cover their faces with hoodie like clothing and walks by carrying a coffin.

openThe president eats cheese and dies Film
So, this president/mayor figure really, really wants to eat cheese, but he can't because he's allergic, and he's jealous of all the other politicians who are cheese connoisseurs and all they do is talk about cheese. This culminates when the president is invited to a meeting and peer-presured into eating cheese, he bloats up and fucking explodes.
This is as told by my mom. She says that we watched this movie a long time ago but I don't remember a thing about it. She doesn't remember if it is an animated film, but she's is sure that it is a kids movie.
Edited by IvannopenFilm with hallucinogenic berries Film
I remember this from decades ago. A man eats some berries, then looks at another man, whose head inflates, turn blue or red, and speaks in very squeaky voice. He (the one who ate the berries) then falls over, seemingly dead.
Despite seeming like it would be, I don't think this was from a comedy film. I also remember gunfights.
openBear attacks a couple Film
My girlfriend described a movie to me where a couple goes hiking and the guy goes off alone to prove himself and there’s a bear attack. It really messed her up and she finds bears creepy now.

So I don’t know if this movie ever even got completed, but I do at least remember the trailer and the tagline being something like: “So you’re a werewolf. What now?” I remember there being a kind of stark website associated with it, with a mostly black background and talking a bit of what the movie was going to be about. Essentially a werewolf story where most of the characters were already werewolves instead of them getting bitten during it. Of the trailer, I just remember a scene where a man is holding a woman and saying, “Please don’t be afraid,” as he was starting to transform.
Does anybody remember this? What was the movie going to be called, and did it ever actually get made?
