openChristopher Film
I recall the name being Christopher, but I looked it up and nothing came up. It’s an animated movie about a kangaroo that gets kidnapped by an eagle, dropped into a supermarket, gets raised by two mammals of some kind, and then has a bittersweet ending where he reunites with his family when he’s an adult.
openSomething about an age-changing carousel Film
I really only remember the end parts, because I don't think I caught the whole thing. I do remember distinctly that there's a magical carousel or roundabout or what-have-you that causes people to get younger or older when they ride on it.
I think the main group of protagonists were looking for some people, and when they found them they had turned back into kids. One of the protagonist kids (I can't remember if they were all kids or a mixture, but there was a kid) got on, went around, came back off as an adult, and was enthralled by the fact he had stubble now. Then there was a maybe-side character who got on and turned into a kid, I think in the post-credits he got put through the foster system or something? He continued to smoke and/or drink as a kid, it shocked them.
If it helps, the first kid I mentioned was white, and the second guy I think was black.
It's been in my memory for a long while, and I've tried several times to figure it out before. Maybe this will work
Edited by TrueEnderopenMovie Scene Where Guy in Suit Plays with Kids Film
I'm not thinking of John Travolta in Look Who's Talking Too with "All Shook Up"—though maybe I am. I'm actually thinking of another scene at a kids play place in a movie where the man plays with the kids while I think the song in the background is "Chantilly Lace". Maybe it was something I just imagined I saw all these years and was never actually real though, so there you go. Haha.
openAn animated movie regarding a kid with a marble [SOLVED] Film
I recall the movie taking place in a house/orphanage with multiple bunk beds, All the kids were wearing green shirts, I recall a scene where the protagonist was playing catch with several other kids and the ball rolled into the basement, the protagonist kept a marble that was cyan or white, I recall this one who was ginger or had brown hair stole his marble. The protagonist noticed someone took his marble and yelled who took it. It was 2D and I never finished it
Edited by ZvlphvropenA little boy, meets a junkie, dies in a peer fight, candlelight vigil Film
An English-language movie I watched somewhere in 2013 or 2014.
It's about a 10, 11 or 12 year old boy (probably with long blond hair)
All I remember is that he meets a poor man addicted to drugs. There's a scene where the boy knocks on his door and the man doesn't answer - maybe he's so high or he died of an overdose.
The boy is attacked (perhaps outside the school) by his peers and dies.
At the boy's house (where his distraught parents are) gather people with candles in the evening, perhaps singing something.
openSex Comedy About Guy Who Can't Feel Pain Film
I remember seeing a trailer (or maybe a part of the movie) about a young man who gets cursed somehow, so that he can't feel pain. I'm not sure if he loses other feelings like lust, or the ability to get drunk, as well.
The movie's a college sex comedy trying to capitalize on American Pie and similar films. The main character's a bit of a skinny dork a la Jason Biggs, but he has scruffier, blond hair. Getting the curse both helps him become more popular in college (the one scene I remember has him being hazed pledging for a fraternity, getting paddled and no feeling anything), but ends up getting him into trouble.
I don't remember much more about it, and I'm sure the movie isn't even any good, but I still wanted to try and find it to scratch that itch in my brain.
openSci-fi? movie that has mysterious guy who is EvilAllAlong. Film
So there's a movie that is probably a sci-fi thriller or horror and maybe some action where it set in post apocalyptic future (I guess) the main characters found a seemingly amnesiac man in an abandoned place. And the one of the main characters who is a woman fall in love with him and there was a sex scene between the mysterious man and the female character. And it turns out that the mysterious guy is a Big Bad and was using them or something like that and he got killed by the heroes in the end I think.
The movie is in around the early 2010s (2010-2015) or late 2000's (2005-2009) from what I remember and it's R rated. And it's American.
Edited by Bubblepigopenabout revenge for the death of a guy, a game of cat and mouse Film
I didn't watch this movie, but my mom did, so the description is from her words.
I think it's thriller from about 1990 to 2010 (mom said she watched this movie on the TV when i was little child, i was born in 2000, so the film could have been made earlier).
The plot is something like this: a guy catches his wife cheating (perhaps at work). he gets out of there by car and gets into an accident where he dies. his father (but this is not certain, maybe a friend) begins to take revenge on his cheating wife for the death of this guy. he sets up various traps to kill this wife, plays cat and mouse with her. he eventually succeeds and she dies in the bath/shower.
openWeird kid’s movie Film
This is a movie I saw when I was like 9 and haven’t seen since. I only remember a couple things about it. The protagonist was a kid, and the antagonist was the principal of his school. At one point, the principal uses the word ex-courage instead of discourage, and tells the main character to look it up. At the end of the movie, when the main character wins in whatever he was doing, he tells the principal to “look it up” as a comeback, but I don’t remember which word he told him to look up. That’s literally all I remember of the movie.
openWild West Dental Hygiene Educational Film Film
This would have been in the late 80s / early 90s, small town USA. In grade school they played a live action educational movie that was set in a town in the Wild West (I think the kid protagonists may have got there through time travel from a playground somehow) about dental hygiene. The kids ran into a local bandit / obvious bad guy type, who grew increasingly agitated as they explained to him how plaque disclosing tablets show where you haven't brushed. He finally lost his temper and yelled "That does it! This town is miiiine!" At that point the projector broke and we never found out what happened next. I can't find any trace of it online!
openGhost drama film Film
I remember watching a film that featured a woman moving into a house where the ghost of a man observes and falls in love with her, while another malevolent ghost is somehow influencing her to become depressed/paranoid about her boyfriend becoming abusive. I remember the woman had trauma from her father being sexually abusive when she was a kid, and the bad ghost used that against her. The only specific scene I can recall is the woman being upset that something like 500 people came to her father's funeral to celebrate him, not knowing that he was really an abusive pedophile.
It was an English language film, probably American but could be Canadian or even British, I don't remember their accents. That's all I remember!
open"Story of my life... the end" in mysterious girl's journal Film
I remember seeing a scene from whatever this was, it looked low-budget, on US TV about 10-15 years ago. A young adult guy finds a young adult woman passed out on the sidewalk. He is giving normal-guy vibes, she is giving manic pixie dream-girl vibes. He carries her into a house and lays her on the bed, and I remember he takes her boots off. She's asleep. He looks through her bag or something, and finds her journal. He opens it to the first page spread and it's cutely decorated with big lettering saying "The Story of My Life." He turns the page, and it's blank. The next page is also blank. He then flips quickly through the journal, all blank pages to the end, where again it has cutesy lettering and decoration, saying "The End." There was no dialog. I am of the impression it was on PBS and was some kind of indie short film but I'm not sure. I don't think that scene was the entirety of the piece, I think it was the beginning, but that was the only part of it I saw.
openFilm about living house on island Film
I'm trying to remember the name of a movie about some people, possibly a film crew, who go to an island with a specific, possibly haunted house on it. The end of the film ends up being a Cruel Twist Ending, as they find a hole in the basement, go into it, and find out they were going into an eldritch monster's stomach and get eaten. I know it's a horror movie but I can't remember the name and I've searched through the Cruel Twist Ending Index with no results.
openMovie, probably from 1980s Film
couple of guys go from dallas to scotland to see the northern lights, something about building a dam, probably 1980s.
openRemember the scene, but not the movie Film
Greetings to all! I recently reviewed "ndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and kept waiting for the scene where Indiana and Short Round would come to the Willy's door. She opens it. Indiana asks: "Will you leave the orphan for the night?" (alluding to Short Round). She agrees. He sends Short Round and comes in himself. Such a comical scene. And I didn't see it. Then I watched the movie again, found the script and realized that I remember this scene exactly, but apparently it's from another movie altogether. And who played there: Harrison Ford or Bruce Willis or someone else - I don't remember. There must be a self-confident, arrogant but charming hero. The scene takes place in a hotel? I do not remember. Help, moviegoers!
openSome film that I saw a gif from on Archillect Film
I remember seeing a gif on the Archillect twitter account a couple years ago that has stuck with me to this day. It was black and white and depicted this man trying to stop a clock hand with an axe on it from reaching another clock hand with a head on it. It's probably going to be some obscure movie that probably nobody will know, but it's worth a shot.
openLive-action movie (or series?) about an "angel of death"? Film
So, I'm not expecting much from posting this, not because I don't value this wiki, but because my only lead is a single scene, lasting less than 5 minutes that I remember was stuck in my head since childhood, I'm not even sure of the genre, but based on what i remember sounds like a type of low urban fantasy or sci-fi on cable TV either at the end of the 90's or early 00, anyway the scene I remember is this:
A dark and long-haired woman is being threatened by a man with a gun, they are standing at opposite ends of a hallway in a really tall building, the woman has nowhere to escape, he wants to spurr her to do... something, about embracing her nature, and he wants to use her power for his own means, or else he'll kill her, the next part is fuzzy in my brain but I think she remembers... something or someone that triggers something inside her and the next scene, she's suddenly no longer cowering from him, instead she stands up, walking calmly towards him, giving him a taunting speech about how he really thought he could control her power, and while she's talking, he starts shooting at her but she blocks every single bullet, apparently barehanded, punctuating each word, and scarying him shitless, I think when she reaches him, she threatens to kill him, saying something about how death doesn't forget or forgive and he'll get everything he deserves... my brain goes fuzzy again after this and skips to the finale scene, the same woman apparently back to normal, and she's either walking and talking or riding the elevator and talking to another woman who's talking about the follwoing events wrapping the movie (?) ends up mentioning a man who, presumably the antagonist of the previous scene, who committed suicide by jumping off a building and that people heard him say somethign along the lines of "god sending an Angel of Death after him." And the woman smiles knowingly and that's when the credits roll.
As I said... is not much, but here's me hoping the best.
Edited by Revival_Zero

The main character is pursued by 4 assassins. One of them is introduced as often dressing as a teenager to lure her target. There is a scene where she is on the bed of a man and use her lollipop to stab him. Another scene has the main character trying to steal data from a computer when a security guard or policewoman finds him. To distracter her, he have intercourse with her near the data center.
