openNo Title Film
I watched a TV series a while back I was trying to tell a coworker about. I can't recall much but I know it was set in a possible post apocalypse setting and at the end they made it to a big house in which was ran by a group whom were really a cult. They ended up eating human remains for dinner that were part of a human sacrifice for food.
openFilm about making commercials Film
I remember watching a film around the year 2000 that involved a man making commercials. Two scenes have stuck in my mind. In one scene is little girl is caught stealing a Batman action figure and she makes up a sob story on the spot involving her little brother. (I think she didn't actually have a brother.) The commercial-making man is impressed and offers her to work with him.
In another scene near the end the girl is talking to a boy who works for the man's competitor, and she says something along the lines of "when you grow older and hairy he'll dump you, the guy I'm working with won't."
Whenever I try to google this movie I keep getting sites about kids in commercials and Batman toys, etc.
Edited by AlbertosaurusopenFilm about housekeeping Film
I remember watching a film around the year 2000 that I swear was called something like "The Housekeeper", but while I do find films with similar titles, I'm not finding this one.
The film involves a woman taking care of a house (I want to say it was like a mansion) that belongs to some older guy. She convinces the people in the neighborhood (they might be his family?) that she's engaged to him. They're suspcious of her because she's beautiful, so she makes up a story about her face getting burned and covered in bandages. In her story, he took care of her and proposed to her before the bandages came off. So she didn't seduce him with her beauty, he really loves her. There's also a scene involving them making out in the fireplace.
openWhats the name of this movie or show (90% its a movie) Film
Not a lot to go off but the scene is daylight hours where main characters are stopping for supplies or gas, they run into an older group and there's a bit of a confrontation. The "teens" get away but one ofbthe group has stolen alcohol from I think it was a pickup truck belonging to the aforementioned group/individual.
Think Cabin in the Woods, Wrong Turn, Cabin Fever type movie.
Appreciate the help in advance 👍🏻
openLive-Action Film about dog superhero Film
I remember that he crashed into a Japanese fish comet.
openSlasher movie where the villain dies the first time Film
Can anyone name some slasher movie(s) where the villain actually dies on the first attempt to kill them? I'm sure there are some but I can't think of any off hand. Even Scream (which was kind of a semi-parody of slasher movies) has the villains survive at first.
openShort I can’t remember Film
When I was a kid I think I saw these shorts in the disney channel. It was a 3D animated short and there is only one episode I remember i’m not sure if there are more. Well the episode had these 2 creatures that where white and kinda looked like clouds. One was big and the other was small. The episode was that they tried to make this cake but the cake would always explode or get ruined in some sort of way. The setting was this dome I believe and it looked like they were in outer space I don’t really recall but i’ll go with 2 white creatures one small other big and they were trying to make a cake but would fail.
open1990s Family Film That Featured "Got My Mind Set On You" Film
Anyone know what film this is? I remember a '90s-era film featuring George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" either in the film, the credits, or the trailer, but I can't remember which. Look Who's Talking? Baby Geniuses? I can't remember.
openNot sure. Film
This movie is quite old. Around 1950s to 1990s. I remember like a scene from the movie. (The movie was in color btw) Anyways the only thing I remember about the show or movie, is that this blonde girl got her eye hurt by some family member. She also has like alot of siblings. She seems to be a bit insecure about her eye, and is like afraid to go to school. In the next scene she is like walking with a dude from school.
Hopefully this helps. I will really appreciate if y'all give me some names of the movie or show because it was my childhood movie. Thank you.

openmodern "Prisoner" style movie Film
Over 10 years ago I saw this movie that I have been trying to track down. It was kind of a modern take on that old show the prisoner. The guy was a spy or something and gets injured on a mission and when he wakes up is on an island where they can't leave. They have to check in with a blood sample every morning. Ultimately he recovers from his wounds ans starts planning his escape. I remember this one scene where he is using cigarettes burning beside the tube to train him self to hold his breath longer. Ultimately he escape on one of the supply airplane drop/pickups...
openDiscovery Channel Survival Series Film
15 or 20 years ago, the Discovery Channel ran a survival series regarding survival stories in different climates/conditions. One was about Alan Cooper, who tried to drive his Morris car from Kenya north through the Sahara desert and died with some of his companions. The 2nd was a couple and their baby that got stuck in a snowstorm (after Hot-tubing) and left their car to find a ranger station and the wife died from eating snow in order to produce breast-milk. The 3rd was about Juliane Koepcke, the only survivor of a plane crash in the jungle and was rescued by a canoe. Another nights episode told the story of a family driving in an African desert and got a flat tire, were stranded and the husband was picked up by someone with a car that he got into an argument with, then when he finally got back,his family was dead from the heat. What is the name of this series and how can I view it again?

Edited by JimmyCakesetopenMaybe French movie Film
I've asked so many times about this film, I almost think I imagined it. The story starts with the protagonist, a woman who works in a travel agency. She meets a man who comes in to book some tickets. They fall in love, and eventually select an apartment and get married, somewhere lovely in the mountains. He drives off for some reason after the marriage down the mountain road which is full of switchbacks and there is a loud crash....yes, he has run off the road and is dead. She keeps working at the travel agency and is obviously very depressed. One day a man walks in and books tickets with another agency. She is stunned to see, it is her husband, who pays no attention to her at all. No one in the travel agency remarks on him. She follows him onto the streets and end up outside the apartment building they were going to live in. She sees a light go on in the apartment, and later, when he leaves, she goes up. The door is unlocked, so she walks in to see children gathered around the dining table. They recognize her as their mother and greet her. With a sense of total unrelaiy, she picks up the life she would have had if her husband hadn't died. This is all I really remember. The lead actress was someone who looked a little like Genieveve Bujold or had a lot of the same qualities. Did anyone else in the universe see this and remember the name? I think I watched it as a TV movie
openGuy pretends to be gynecologist Film
I saw a clip of this film on You Tube. A man (looked a bit like Ryan Reynolds) is in a hospital, and he's in disguise as a gynecologist. He's not doing it so he can look at lady parts, but because he's in hiding or on the run or something. But sure enough, a pretty young lady comes in for a checkup, and he has to bluff his way through it.
openHorror Movie Featuring Either Zombies or Aliens Film
When I was a kid I saw part of a movie where either zombies or aliens were hiding under the guise of being human, but when they were found out they peeled off their skin revealing hideous creatures underneath. This was the late 80s early 90s, but I feel like this movie might be older than that...as far back as the 70s to early 80s. I've been trying to find this movie for yrs, so any help will be appreciated.
openOld Movie (Animation) Film
I recall that when I was younger, I used to watch this movie/ program about a girl (I think her name was Maya). I do not remember much, apart from the fact that she end up "falling" into a world that existed inside a giant's umbrella. I remember that in this fantastic world she meets a kid who lost her parents in an accident, where they were flying in a hang glider expirience. So I remember that maya want to help this kid overcome her fear of flying. I also remember something about the giant almost closing the umbrella and destroying this world. Another thing about this Maya..is that I remember she weared a red dress whit a white apron and that she had a red magic ribbon.

Set in Chicago at the current time, a teenage son, grandfather, mother, late 70's early 80's only a few shows made. lower middle income, family drama there were other family members, you could see the elevated trains in the background on the street they lived on, multi-family homes maybe they moved there from a rural environment.
I've searched to no avail...thanks if you can help.
