openAnother Adaptation of Guliver's Travels Film
I watched this adaptation of Guliver's Travels when I was in second grade. It wasn't the Max And Dave Fleischer version, as this version utilized the Roger Rabbit Effect and more closely followed the plot of the book. I had lived in the UK when I watched it if that gives anyone a hint on what version it was.
Edited by aa1205openDrama series with troubled singers on horse ranch Film
The TV show was a drama series with adults staying on a horse farm, owned by a woman. The main character was a well known female singer, that for some reason were staying at this horse ranch. She overheard another guy, who also stayed on the farm, when he was singing for himself. Apparently he had been through some trauma, and stopped singing (I think he had lost a close friend). It seemed like this farm was some kind of rehab/recovery farm, and the guests were going through different stuff. The female ranch owner was upset with the female singer, when she stuck her nose in the traumatized/troubled male singers business. It all happened on a horse farm, but there wasn't that much focus on the horses. They spoke english/american, but not sure if it was Canadian, American, Australian or whatever. 🤔 But it wasn't british.
I watched some episodes maybe 3-5 years ago, but don't know when it was made.. I've searched everywhere, and can't find it. Hope any of you guys remember it. 😊
openSci-fi movie about a pair of twins SOLVED Thank you, Medinoc Film
Saw this movie sometime in the 90s. The plot started with a girl who has a twin brother. She's in an accident which seems severe and is rushed to the hospital where her injuries have almost healed. On the way, the paramedics are confused because it sounds like she has two heartbeats. The doctors question her parents and it turns out the girl has never been sick as a child. When the doctors examine her closer the find that she has two hearts, four lungs, etc.
We eventually learn that before the girl was born, there was an spaceship passing by Earth and on board was the queen of an alien race who was pregnant and about to give birth. The ship was attacked by another, evil, race of aliens and the baby was beamed down to Earth and into the body of pregnant woman, who then gave birth to twins instead of the one son she was expecting.
Some of the evil aliens come to Earth, disguised as very severe looking women in black dresses with umbrellas, but their actual shapes are something closer to bears.
The movie ends with the girl returning to space to take her place as heir to the throne, but she brings her human brother and parents.
Edited by AdaciaopenMovie or tv show Film
Either a movie or tv show and I remember the following details. Two girls were held captive in a van that was on the road. While no one was looking one girl signals the car behind them that they need help. That car gets in front of the van and slows down. This allows the one girl to jump out safely. The second girl jumps out but the car in front returned to regular speed. This causes the second girl to die after jumping out. First girl returns to the body while it’s raining and leaves footprints. Later on the first girls husband I think asks her about that night and she tells him, he thinks it’s her fault.
openi think it's a kids film but this wasn't censored Film
this is what i remember: there is a scene where a little boy (i think he was the main character) enters his big brother room. on the wall there is a poster of a naked lady with sticky notes covering her chest. the little boy covers his eyes with one hand and removes the sticky notes with the other because he needed them for something, revealing the lady's chest. i remember this scene because the movie was on a kids channel and that scene wasn't censored which was surprising.

openJapanese horror movie Film
I need help with a movie, I remember it had asian actors so maybe it was japanese. The movie has the main cast trapped and they were forced to play games to survive with characters diying almost every round. I remember the hosts of the games wore bear costume i think and they were streaming the games to Internet. I remember one of the games was a race and little else.Any ideas? (Saw it around 10 or 15 years ago)
openteen scene with kids watching youtube Film
I need a scene from a movie or television that shows kids watching youtube. It could be funny or they may be looking for a way to fix something or learn about something. If you know of any scene it would be very helpful. Thanks
openFrench Movie Film
I'm looking for a French live action movie we once watched in French class. It's about a group of kids, the main characters are boys (I think) and at the end of the movie one of the boys falls down somewhere (I think he fell into a hole, like a well, but could've been also something else). I also remember the soundtrack that appeared in it but it's unfortunately hard to describe so I'll let it be.
(It's not The Chorus).
openJohnny Depp gets murdered in public Film
Literally the only scene I remember is the ending, Johnny Depp is walking down a sidewalk, then somebody kills him. I think Depp wore a fedora. He whispers some last words, but I don't remember what he says.
openGirl moves to NYC and gets a makeover Film
A not-so-pretty girl moves to New York to work in a high-end office (in journalism probably) but lives in a decrepit building. There she meets her neighbor, an interior designer who she thinks is gay because of his job.
Later on, she meets a group of friends (mostly guys - one or some of them are gays - with the exception of one girl) who give her a makeover. After her makeover, she starts going out with her boss (secretly maybe, but I'm not sure) who ends up cheating on her with his assistant.
In the end, all is right in the world and she ends up with her neighbor (who was in love with her since the beginning).
Also, I'm pretty sure there is a scene where the girl is wearing a red dress.
Edited by fiorellaopenNo Title Film
It was around early 90s in the UK. About an old lady who was scared of butterflies. The scenes I remember are of her in a church with a butterfly nearby, her son in law collecting butterflies as a hobby, and eventually her dying/being murderer and her dead body in the cage with a butterfly on her head. I feel like it was a murder mystery, like a Ruth Rendell or Agatha Christie but I could be wrong.
openBoy Stuck in a Stamp on a Letter Film
Part of the movie involved him stuck in a stamp and trying to get back to his sister or something, but then when someone trying to help mails the letter his stamp is on, he somehow ends up in China. That's about all I remember.
openPirate Movie That is Like Treasure Island, But Isn't Film
I remember it from Disney Channel years ago and it involved a boy who may or may not have been dreaming the whole thing, a girl who might or might not have been a mermaid and the villain was a pirate captain who got turned into gold or stone at the end of the movie.
openLooking for a TV Show/Film Film
Hey guys! Thanks for having me here. You see, I'm looking for this movie or perhaps a tv show where a doctor/guy saved a kid over a billionaire.
openSome gang movie with a car chase Film
I saw a clip of a gang movie on TV. It had a bunch of guys in a car chase through the streets of Los Angeles, and Valente Rodriquez, aka the guy who played Ernie in The George Lopez Show, was one of the passengers.
openBritish WWII movie? Film
What I remember about it is that the young boy protagonist gets barked at by a dog, and he grabs a shovel and yells at it to stop or he'll kill it, but an old man stops him, and later on, his mother locks him in a cellar but later dies.
openDragon movie? Film
Okay so there’s this old dragon that looks pretty fake and these two kids, and I think the dragon promised them something if they did some task for him and the two kids eventually do the task and when they go back to the dragon he doesn’t come through with the promise and lied to them. I’m not completely sure about this but I think what was promised was a vile or potion of something for the kids or the dragon but I could be wrong. In one scene I think the kids ride the dragon somewhere and that’s where they’re told it was a lie or something. It wasn’t animated or anything and it wasn’t new and wasn’t made recently but I wouldn’t say it’s super old either. Seen something like this?
Edited by Ruby430openHorror Movie Film
There was a movie I saw when I was really young, I only saw bits and pieces of it. All I remember is that a girl is locked in some run-down room, her friend/boyfriend is being tortured and there's a scene where his tongue is cut off.
Late in the movie, the girl is running for her life from the guys in the truck. So she hides and waits for him to stop. When he gets out. She attacks him, only for it to be revealed to be her friend/boyfriend in the killer's clothes and his mom sewn shut.
Also, there's a scene where the girl helps a cop commit suicide or something.

So I remember watching a movie back in 2004 or 2005. Here's what I remember.
There was an African American man who had a long string-like neck. His neck looked like it might of been animated, and it was wiggling in a cartoonish manner. There was also a "boing boing" sound effect while it was doing this. Also, the guy was just smiling. After that, it showed another man watching, who looked freaked out. Then, the other man walked away. The next scene showed him talking to this woman who I think was lying in bed. He might of been telling her what he saw.I think I remember him saying something like "It's for real."
That's all I remember. Just to be clear, everyone in this scene was African American. Also, it was not a cartoon. It was live-action. It looked like a wacky comedy, similar to The Nutty Professor. I am not completely sure it was a movie. So, if anybody recognizes it, please let me know.
