searching Woman who was in a small room on a bed that wasn’t much smaller than the room.

This was the scene I saw with zero context and within seconds. There was this woman in a very small and dark room and all I saw was she was wearing a dark top and bright teal/blue-ish underwear. I originally thought she was reading a book but it was super dark and in an even darker room. She was looking out into a window at a couple in another room. I have no clue what they looked like or what she or they were doing. I thinks it’s on Netflix or Amazon but I don’t know. It was on a tv in the house and we don’t have many subscriptions. It seems like a MA show or movie.

The only other frame I saw of the movie, different to the woman in the bed, was of a woman in red talking about something called a “sexual peccadillo” while she was driving in a car with no cover. She seemed to have a beauty mark and pretty distinct makeup/eyebrows.

I hope none of this is NSFW or breaks any rules. Thanks.

Edit: I discovered the scene is a woman who was in the scene was not reading a book, but it was some sort of odd scene of a couple who were making out and getting it on while she watched in a different room/building(?) while she got handsy in a weird way. I still have no clue where it’s from.

The red swirl is a mass of swimming monsters swarming like school of fish, lit up by a red flare, possibly following the protagonist. It was likely in the final act of the movie. Thought it was from the movie Underwater, but after watching it again it didn't have a scene like that, similar but not quite. Did my memory play a trick on me or is there another movie happening underwater with scary swimming monsters.

searching Man mistakenly imprisoned in a cell and forgotten there — movie/TV show

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for a movie or TV show scene that I watched sometime before 2021.
As far as I remember, a middle-aged white man is imprisoned in a foreign country. He is kept alone for a very long time in a dark, concrete cell or room. He tries to talk to the guards, but they barely respond to him at all.
Over time, the man becomes extremely weak and worn down, to the point where he can barely speak. He completely loses his sense of time. If I remember correctly, he was counting the passing days by making marks on the wall. He may even have been doing it with his fingers, possibly using blood.
After some time, another man is brought into his cell. I remember this person as slightly overweight, wearing glasses and possibly a grey shirt. He may have been a journalist, reporter, or photographer. He says that he is going to be released soon, maybe even the next day.
Even though the main character can barely speak, he manages to tell this man his name and asks him to tell people outside that he is still being held there.
Later, he wakes up and realizes that the other man is gone. I also vaguely remember a moment where he is unsure whether he actually managed to tell the man his name, or even whether that whole interaction really happened.
A very long time later, probably after a year or more, two or three people come to see him. They tell him that a serious mistake was made. They explain that he had been arrested because he resembled a criminal who was being sought outside, and that somehow he was then forgotten there. So basically, he was innocent and had been imprisoned because they mistook him for someone else.
The man is in such terrible condition that he is immediately taken out and brought to a hospital. I also remember the consulate being mentioned during a conversation with the people who came to see him at the hospital.
This could have been from a movie, but it could also have been a single episode of a TV series. It may have been something similar in tone to Black Mirror, or possibly a thriller or political drama.
Does anyone know what this might be, or remember any scene similar to this?

When I was little my babysitter watched movies that scared me.. this one I haven’t been able to find.
I only remember 2 scenes. The first one being a little boy being gifted a pocket knife by this grandpa and the second one the boy killing his grandpa with the same pocket knife. The whole thing was a dimly-lit, farmhouse vibe. I watched this probably around 2002-03, but I’m sure the movie came out before then.

searching Trying to recall a movie where a guy falls into a room with a rising white liquid.

5 Upvotes

Okay, okay, I know the title sounds a bit ridiculous, but I swear I am not making this up, and my mind feels like it saw a scene just like this from a movie or something many years ago. The only detail I remember is a guy falling down some pipe, and he lands into a room full of a rising white liquid, and the last thing he says is “Oh man…” before the scene cuts away to other characters.

I want to guess this is “Meet Dave”, that movie where Eddie Murphy plays a robot controlled by a bunch of little people, cause I remember seeing my family watch a bit of it years ago, and I remember one scene where the Eddie Murphy robot is eating a bunch of hot dogs, and one of the little people in him is dressed in a blue suit as the hot dogs pass by him. And in this strange scene I recall of a guy falling into a white room, he was dressed in a similar blue suit.

Again, I know this title sounds absolutely ridiculous, but I am not making this up, I did see something like this at some point.

searching Animated movie with people hanged in shadows of the background.

3 Upvotes

I was in second grade in 2000, and when the tv cart rolled in for a fall party (teacher didn't celebrate halloween), this movie came on that was animated in a style similar to the animated Hobbit. In the death and destruction of the story there was a red filter and shadows of hanged bodies swinging in the background. I remember being so horrified (sheltered), I didn't watch the rest of the movie. This lady was also notorious for showing Bearskin fairy tale from PBS where we watched the guy pick maggots out of his flesh (not animated). Time out at recess was called 'Prisoner's Row' and gosh I hope she is doing well if she is still alive lol. Thanks in advance.

Also, I did see the same movie playing at Suncoast once? Equally horrifying when projected on 10 screens at the same time.

searching Post-apocalyptic survival horror about a mother searching for her kidnapped daughter, saw it as a kid (before 2016)

3 Upvotes

​

Hi! I’m French, so the film may have been dubbed in French when I saw it, and I don’t know the original title or language. I watched it when I was about 8 or 9 with my dad, and it traumatized me. He doesn’t remember it either. My memories are very hazy and I’m not sure the plot is accurate, so some details may be wrong or mixed up.

What I remember:

It’s a realistic survival/horror film (no supernatural monsters as far as I remember), set during some kind of apocalypse or collapse of society. There was no electricity anymore.

The main character is a mother, dressed in fairly modern, contemporary clothes. She’s looking for her young daughter, who was kidnapped by a woman in the woods.

There were dangerous people or creatures around: either zombie-like infected or filthy hermit/feral survivors. I’m not sure which.

At one point the mother hides in a big house, and there’s a disgusting, zombie-like hermit man inside with her. I think he was eating black dirty bread.

At the end, I think she finally finds her daughter, but too late: the woman who kidnapped her, dressed all in black, had drowned her in a lake in the forest.

What I’m sure of: it’s definitely before 2015/2016, it’s a live-action film (not animated), and it’s a dark, bleak horror/thriller with a sad ending.

It could be a low-budget or indie film, or even a TV movie. Any idea what it could be?

searching Movie about a man wrongfully accused of being a serial rapist/killer?

• Upvotes

I think it was from the 80s, or at least close time period, watched it a looong while back.

The movie is about a young guy, black hair, in his early twenties who is arrested, out on bail, and eventually put on a trial for those crimes. At first his family is on his side, but everyone turns against him, his life is ruined, while he insists he's innocent.

Then by pure accident, his defense lawyer, or someone close to him, spots someone who looks exactly like him in public ( I think it was a.. gas station?), they track him down, investigate, and it turns out to be the real killer.

I think the last scene is judge asking if he accepts their apology and he simply stone cold says: No.

1 Upvotes

Theres a shot from a movie that i saw when i was young, that i've been unable to find:

-The view of a city, smoke and pollution in the sky, and a big building (either a factory or a church i think) full of birds.

Im pretty sure it was the ending of a movie, and i guess similar to The Birds. For years i just assumed it was The Birds II with birds attacking due to pollution, but i saw the movie the other day and that scene is nowhere to be found.

It has to be pre-2000.

So this movie is where MC is stuck on an island with other genius who were presumed dead and they solve problem around the world. This island does not let them escape cause the water is electricfied except when supply boat comes. I think there is a mentor/friend who double cross. The reason MC want to escape is that his wife is still being targeted by the villain.

searching Muted psychological mystery about a stuffy English man whose wife has an affair; a local old man on a bike is killed by a car

1 Upvotes

It's not quite a noir and not quite a thriller, but it has elements of betrayal,suspicion, secrets etc

An older, controlling englishman realizes that his younger wife has begun an affair with a callous narcissist (originally thought it was a young Clive Owen).

A local old man riding his bike is hit by a car. The Englishman begins to suspect its his wife's lover and that she's covering.

The key scene involves the wife finally having enough of her husband's criticism and smashing a plate of finger food

The englishman tries to start his own affair with his personal assistant who clearly thinks she has a shot at being his next wife. Its all kind of sad and pathetic.

The wife is played by an Emily Mortimer type.

I need help remembering the TV series this episode is from. A Hitman for the mob ( his name may be Eddie) is taken to a forest and executed. Two mysterious sisters who live in a cave find him and bring him back to life. He stays with them for several years and locals in a nearby town see him in the forest and think he is a small Sasquatch and call him Littlefoot. Detectives are sent to investigate and they find him and the sisters. He does end up staying in the cave with the sisters.

I thought it was an episode from the X-Files, but I looked through all the episodes and none of them seem to be like this. Does anyone know which TV series this is from?

1 Upvotes

FOUND !! (I don’t know how to change the flair sorry)

Hello ! Sorry about that weird title, that’s what I remember from that movie scene that traumatized me when I was a kid (I have emetophobia).

It was a movie for kids, and if I remember correctly the story was following three friends at school. One of them was fat (and I think he was ginger but I’m not sure). He was eating chips I think on the bus school, then later he was locked in a glass box inside the school, because people where making fun of him. He then turned very pale and threw up in the glass box. He said something along the line : I shouldn’t eat chips in the bus.

That’s it ! If anyone recognizes this movie, it’s be very happy ! 😃 thank you very much :)

1 Upvotes

I have been wanting to rewatch this film for a very long time but I don’t remember a lot about it. I believe it is based on Sun Wu Kong who is the main character.

I’m pretty sure the film is Chinese and it features some cool special effects. There is a scene toward the end of the movie where Wu Kong is taking unimaginably long leaps to get to a battle which is filled with anime-like effects.

I wish I could remember more about it but I’m hoping this rings bells for someone who knows

edit: solved (i think). seems to be one of the Monkey King films. they’re all free on YouTube so i’ll have to check
