A while back I saw bits and pieces from this horror movie that I cannot for the life of me find. It was about this family who I believe lived in a cabin (or at least a woodsy area). There are only three things I distinctly remember: the boy has an "imaginary friend" (who is undoubtedly a demon), this demon overflows the bath and starts writing in black water on the walls (and no, the film I'm thinking of is not Dark Water), and the a friend of the father's asks his little girl what she's drawing, and she says it's a picture of him, but he's dead. It probably came out in the mid 2000s (2003-2007).

This was a live-action film made around the early to mid 1990s. I think it was made somewhere in Europe. I can't remember if it was in English or if it was dubbed. I only saw a little of the movie. Here are the scenes I saw:
The main character was an attractive waitress. She worked at a café on the beach. Her uniform was a black shirt that split all the way up the middle in the front, but came together at the neck line.
A male customer is buying coffee or something and he faints for some reason. She and a friend of hers get permission to take the customer back to their place to tend to him for a while. He wakes up in an hour or so and they send him on his way before returning to work.

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.

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.

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.

I saw this movie trailer about four years ago (so 2011-ish), but it wasn't brand new at the time— I saw the trailer on Youtube and not in a theater.
The movie was live-action, in English (I think American-made), and was probably made between 2000 and 2010.
Plot: Some rich guy died and left his money/property to another man who may or may not have been a relative. But he left the guy a series of challenges to complete in order to get the inheritance. For one of the challenges, the guy had to find a friend. In one scene, he went up to a mother and daughter on the street and said "I need a friend."
To which the little girl replied "Explain yourself!" Later, she said "So you made a bet with a dead guy? Cool."
Just one other line I remember: When the guy who got the inheritance and the dead guy's lawyer were driving to the dead guy's estate or whatever, at one point the lawyer said "We've been on his property for the last half hour."
Sorry I can't remember more, but I was only about 12 when I saw the trailer and I found it pretty confusing at the time.

I saw this one several years ago on (I think) Sy Fy, so it's quite likely it was a TV movie. I don't remember it very well. There's a school bus full of (I assume) high school students that stops on some farm, on a field trip or something, and I guess the planned activities get held up because no one's around. A bunch of the students wander off around the barn, and a bunch of them start turning up dead. You don't see the murders occurring at first, you just see the bodies turn up impaled or stabbed or with cut throats or whatever. I only saw the beginning. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

There's this guy who moves into a new house (I think it may be inherited?), but the lights always have to be on, because there's this spirit/demon/curse thing. It manifests as moving shadows and can go pretty much anywhere there's little to no light. At some point, the guy opens a drawer and finds a dead rat, which I think may have been because a light went out in the drawer. At the climax, I think the lights are all out, so the guy gets this floodlight-type thing and starts shining it all over the place to fight off the spirit, but it ends up on his face somehow, so he turns the light on himself and ends up blind. There might also have been a big closet full of fresh lightbulbs in case ome goes out. This has been bugging me for years, and I can't find it anywhere.

A movie, I think it was Japanese. It starts with a man and his wife travelling in a car and they almost crash into something, but stop just in time. Then a car with a woman behind them swerves to avoid them and crashes into traffic. The woman is laying on the road almost dead, but she makes it to hospital in a coma. The guy goes to the hospital to see if she's okay, and tells them he's her boyfriend so they'll let him in. The nurse gets him to help wash the woman in the coma, and when she wakes up she's temporarily blind. Thinking that this man is her boyfriend, they sleep together in the hospital bed. The doctors find out that she's pregnant, but she got pregnant whilst in the coma. They're disgusted at the man, thinking he took advantage of her whilst in a coma, but he tells them he only slept with her after she woke up. There's also this really scary guy covered head to toe in bandages and in a wheelchair who continually pops up in dark corridors. This is all I watched, and I really wanna find out the name so I can finish it. Thanks :)

I think I asked this before but never really got an answer so trying again
There was this movie I saw at the cinema as a kid (early 00's most likely). It was about two anthropomorphic mice kids, a boy and a girl, who lived in a huge library or school (or at least this was where most of the setting took place). The antagonist character (also a mouse, or possibly rat) was this old librarian or teacher, I think she had her hair in a bun and wore a purple or dark blue dress, who was really strict and grumpy, always complained and didn't let them do anything fun. Specifically, she didn't allow them to go to a specific place... of course, shortly after they tried sneaking into this place. They went to some kind of Magic World filled with books and possibly numbers I think? I remember several scenes where a bunch of stairs led to a magic mirror where the mirror image would show who you "really are", your true self ect. The mice kids found this after sneaking into the forbidden place, the boy looked into the mirror and saw himself as a prince/hero-type character, and both him and the girl were amazed at this. Later, by the end of the movie, the librarian/teacher character would go into this world to look for the kids, find them with the mirror, then she looked into the mirror and saw her mirror image melt and turn into some weird monster. She was all "nooo, but why, this wasn't supposed to happen" and I think she might have melted herself too? Or transform into a monster at some point? Anyway, after this, the mice kids get carried away by a flood of paper/books.
Anyone have any idea what this can be?

A movie about a circa 1960s reporter interviewing a former southern United States slave woman that had lived to be over 100. As she describes her life story, the movie has flashbacks to key moments in the emancipation, the formation of black communities, and pushback in the form of the Ku Klux Klan. At some point late in the movie, the reporter is reassigned to cover something NASA related and has some moral choice about which story is more important.

I'm looking for a movie, possibly made-for-TV one, about an evil scientist using underwater missiles/torpedos to create tsunamis.
I thought it was Killer Wave, but I found a synopsis
of it on the Internet, and it's definitely not what I have seen, despite the scientist villain having the very same name! (Stanley Schiff)
Plus I think what I had seen was from before 2007.
In the version I remember, one of the final scenes had the hero attempting to guess the two passwords on the villain's computer. The first password was "NOBEL PRIZE", and the second password was the hero's name, which I can't remember at all.
I also remember some other scenes:
It could be that Killer Wave was a remake of something, but I can't find any indication of that on the Internet.
