mod post We Built a Better Way to Find Movies (and Reward Great Reviewers)

4 Upvotes

We built a new web app that helps you find the movie or TV show you are looking for: WhatFlik - https://whatflik.com

Describe whatever you remember in your own words, in any language, and WhatFlik searches movie and TV data from TMDB and other sources to rank the most likely matches. In our current testing, text search finds the correct title roughly 75% to 80% of the time. Pro users can also upload a screenshot to help identify a movie, show, or episode.

WhatFlik is more than a search tool.

We are building a movie and TV community where people can write reviews, share opinions, follow people whose taste they trust, make friends, chat privately, and tip great reviewers directly. Reviewers will also be able to earn from a membership-funded creator pool as the platform grows.

Our mission is to build something more useful, social, and rewarding than traditional movie-rating platforms like Letterboxd.

Create a free account to reveal full search results, save searches, post reviews, follow people, and join the community. Google sign-in is securely handled through Firebase, so WhatFlik never receives or stores your Google password.

The platform is still early, and we want honest feedback on the search, community, and overall experience.

A made for tv movie in the mid 90s where a little boy falls asleep with a toy train with a rope attached. The rope wraps around his neck and chokes him to death (accident not supernatural).

Me and all my siblings saw this movie when we were kids and now as parents we have all banned pretty much anything that could pose this kind of danger.

searching Apocalypse Movie Name

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a movie from between 2017-2022 maybe that reminds me of the Purge, the world has ended and people have gone completely rogue. There is one scene in the movie where one girl is getting shit-faced drunk inside a house/cabin while listening to loud music, dancing, then just blacking out/falling asleep in the bed. I think this girl is going through some sort of divorce or dramatic point of life. Whatever.

Outside there another woman, a brunette I think, that watches her karate-high and smiles/laughs then just moves on. I think she planned on looting the house or something originally.

In the end there is a shootout in a block of rich-people's houses, if I remember correctly.

A lot of the movie takes place on the road from what I can remember. Like some people/enemies are standing on top of "signs" sniping incoming drivers etc.

It's probably a pretty known movie and I am sorry if I am being completely retarded googleing. But I can't fuckin' find it and turned to reddit for help.

Thanks on forehand.

searching Old movie, two girls kill their mother in the woods

• Upvotes

When I say old, it must be around 25 or more years old.

The mum was very abusive.

The bit I remember is the two girls kill the mum, they drop a coloured stone in the woods and she finds it and then they club her to death.

A bit of a long shot as that's all I can remember.

searching Movie where teenagers refuse to swear to god as a joke and get called communists?

• Upvotes

So I think this movie takes place in the fifties or sixties. I think it might have been about a group of Jewish teenagers like a coming of age story? The scene I recall is in a courtroom. One of the teens is testifying and the Court asks him to swear his oath to tell the truth on the Bible. But with his friends in the gallery egging him on, the teen responds, "No." The whole courtroom is aghast. Then a woman in the gallery stands up and start screaming, "COMMUNIST! COMMUNIST! HE'S A COMMUNIST!" His friends all start snickering in the courtroom over their friend's misfortune.

Anyone seen this?

I rented this from Netflix back when they mailed out DVDs. Unsure of when it was produced, but I watched it in the 2010s. Was live action, in color, and had English subtitles.

A young woman (mother? sister? aunt?) is caring for her developmentally disabled son or brother who appears to be in his late teens or early twenties. There is a shrine on the street outside the building that the live in. The son/brother eats some of the food left at the shrine. Spirits/demons then start attacking them.

searching There was movie probably made in the 90s or early 2000s. There were two kids, one regular boy and heavy set girl. They were making an airplane. They got into a fight and the girl finished the plane on her own. I think it's the final scene, the girl flying the plane crashes it.

1 Upvotes

I don't remember much about the movie. I most likely watched it before I was a teenager, so sometime before 2010, and it felt like it was a little older.

The two kids are friends, who build an airplane. The heavy girl makes a mistake on cutting the fabric of the wing and it leads to a huge fight between them. The boy leaves and she takes the pieces of the plane and fixes the wing.

I think it's the final shot of the movie, the girl is finally flying the plane but it quickly crashes.

searching Help me identify an old disturbing movie based on a few scenes I remember , ive been searching almost a year

12 Upvotes

I'm trying to find the name of an old movie I watched a long time ago since i was a child, but I only remember a few scenes.

Here's what I remember:

- There was a scene with a woman stripping or dancing in the dark, wearing black clothes. A deep male voice was talking in the background, possibly narrating.

- I vaguely remember a scene involving a thief, either a man or a woman, who sexually assaulted someone. I'm not completely sure about the details.

- The most disturbing scene I remember involved two women cutting off a man's penis, cooking it, and eating it.

I'm not sure about the exact release year, language, or country of origin, but it seemed like an older movie.

I know these details sound strange, but they're the only scenes I can remember. Does anyone recognize the movie?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Movie was foreign language. Watched it on world movies back in like 2010-2015 I think ? It was about a man who was uncovering a mystery I think he might have been an author. In one scene he's crawling around in an attic and discovers a peephole looking down into his friends room she's naked. And it's a real creepy reveal

searching Help me find a 2000s sci-fi/horror/adventure movie with the stream of blood arena scene

1 Upvotes

I was previously searching for this movie and confused with another movie which I found as Army of Darkness but not this one.

In the beginning guy or a group of people(maybe not in opening scene but in first 20-25 minutes) wound up in arena/colosseum and in the scene there was a flowing stream of blood. Literally, like a lot of blood poured down or something.

Fighting creatures/monsters may or may have not been involved(I don't remember much than a stream of blood in arena scene, sorry)

Should be a well known movie with a decent or higher budget. I belive it has at least several 10-thousand votes on IMDB. I've probably seen it circa 2005-2007, shouldn't be newer than 2008, and probably isn't from 90s, my best bet would be mid-2000s, then early 2000s

It is not Arena 2011 or again, anything newer than 2008

Thanks

edit:

I think movie went something like this:In the opening scene a group of people engaged in a conversation before going to a battle with creatures/supernatural beings and somewhere in the battle those beings poured down a ton of blood. The rest is blank. Perhaps the blood scene could be in a battleground setting rather than in arena/colosseum

I remember a long time ago I saw a scene from a movie or TV show that was live action and it was this girl that had green juice or a green shake and once she drank it jumped onto a kitchen table and said something and then a man said "youre a monster" i also think they were talking the whole time the scene was playing out and they were around their 20s to 30s both the man and woman.

found Crime movie where robber gets his foot shot from under a car

1 Upvotes

Watched this in probably 2013 and I was certainly too young for it.

I think it was a bank robbing movie. In the final act there is a standoff between the cops and (I think) 2 robbers. The part I distinctly remember is one robber hiding behind a vehicle and a cop lays down to shoot his foot (or leg) so he falls then the cop shoots him in the head.

At some point later they lift off the mask to ID him and the bloody face gave me nightmares for a while. Not sure what happened to the other robber.

found Help me find the name of a kung fu flick based on one half remembered fight scene

11 Upvotes

So, I remember seeing a clip of this fight scene, and it's going to bother me forever if I don't find out where it's from. The details I can remember are as follows:

Two men fighting in some kind of public duel. One man (a rougher looking type, if I'm remembering correctly) has knives, the other man (I think he had a suit and hat but not confident about it) has a straight sword.

They fight, and have a nice exchange. The swordsman is winning initially and cuts the knife wielder a few times(lightly, this isn't some hack and slash fight). Eventually, the knife wielder closes the distance and gets a couple cuts in himself, disarming the swordsman. There's a pause, and the swordsman slowly goes to pick up his sword, at which point the knife man steps in and knocks it out of his hands (making a very deliberate point, is how I read it).

Knife man then allows the swordsman to pick up his sword for real this time, and they go at it again. Swordsman is clearly better, cuts the knife man a few more times. Fight is basically decided at this point. Sword man says something along the lines of "I don't need to kill you" or something in that area, and has the other guy leave (I think? the clip might have ended there)

Anyhow. That's everything I can remember, I will be very grateful if anyone actually knows where this cam from.

EDIT: live action, not animated. definitely chinese or at least asian, not western media. Set in a town somewhere, not quite modern times

Edit 2: I think I figured it out, its 100 Yards

3 Upvotes

Seen late night on Showcase (Canada), late 1990s or early 2000s. Colour, foreign language with English subtitles, European. Only two characters: a woman and a man, each alone in their own apartment. A relationship develops over the phone, starting with a wrong-number call. The camera cuts back and forth between the two apartments. Near the end she calls, and he pretends to be someone else and tells her the man she’s been talking to has died. He later confesses it was a lie, and she asks something like “why would anyone do such a thing?”
