Can someone please help me out with this one movie?

I saw this movie in tv in the 1990’s or early 2000’s.

It’s a movie about group of friends who are con-men.

Here are the scenes from the movie:

1. Guy fakes to get hit by car and cons the driver to pay him
2. Friends pretend to be city tour guide, but the people they are scamming point out the fake names and locations they are telling
3. Later in their apartment one conman shares hit loot, but friends start ripping the real dollars in half
4. Later conman themselves get’s conned, by the promise to see a real mermaid by the sea, buy the mermaid turns to be a guy/or women in a costume and a wig

Maybe someone can help me with this movie. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to identify a movie for years with no luck. I’m hoping someone here recognises it.

• I watched it in the early 2000s

• Rented it on DVD from Xtra-Vision (Ireland)

• It was a live-action family movie

What I remember about the plot:

The movie starts in suburban America with a family of four. There’s a teenage brother and sister (roughly 13–15). Their dad goes to New York on a business trip, and the kids think he’s up to something dodgy. They somehow get a lot of cash and follow him to NYC to investigate.

In New York, they befriend a female taxi driver: • Blonde / very light blonde

• Curly hair / perm

• Big friendly smile

She drives them all around NYC as they follow their dad.

There’s a scene where the dad goes into a dark, dingy basement in a building. It’s loud and full of men doing “business” (possibly Asian men), and it feels suspicious rather than scary — more mystery than crime.

DVD cover:

This is one of the clearest memories: • A taxi driving/flying through New York

• The kids’ heads popping out of the windows

• Shocked / excited expressions

• The taxi driver visible, smiling

Very “early 2000s family adventure” style artwork.

What it is NOT:

• Not Home Alone 2

• Not Taxi (2004)

• Not animated

• Not a big blockbuster (possibly straight-to-DVD or TV movie)

At this point I’m wondering if it was an obscure or unsuccessful release, which might explain why it’s hard to find online.

Any ideas at all would be hugely appreciated — even partial matches or “this reminds me of…” suggestions. Thank you!

The scene:

A man and a woman are talking in a kitchen. There is a door that directly leads to the outside of the house from the kitchen. While they are talking, suddenly, a chicken/rooster runs through the door. Startled, the woman screams something like, “we are going to die” (or “I don’t want to die”) and jumps up onto the kitchen counter (or maybe into the mans arms – memory is foggy here). They both seemed terrified. Either the chicken/rooster was actually dangerous and on the attack, or they were heavily startled.

Additional info:

The animal entered the scene from right to left with the door being on the right side. The woman was in a dress. I think the man was in a typical suit for the time period. The movie year was probably somewhere between the 30s and 50s. Perhaps the 40s, from what I remember of the clothing style. I don’t know if it was a movie or a series. Maybe around the same times as “The Twilight Zone”, or “Outer Limits”. I don’t know if the show was in color because the TV set was black and white.

Background:

I was around 4 years old (early 1980s) when I saw this show. I’m pretty sure it was aired on TV and not played from the VCR. Unfortunately, I only remember the one scene (the chicken terrified me at that age, which is probably why I remember anything at all).

Dude kills a couple cockroaches in his bedroom with a real dart gun, rode a 10speed with handles turned up. Would’ve had to been1984-1988. I think he was new to the area, of course a girl involved. Think ther was a scene in an amusement park. Boyfriend I believe took the girl and had a real gun in like an abandon old factory new dude went after her and used his dart gun. Sorry can’t remeber more. Seen it at the theater

This movie is in color in English and was filmed in and around Quakertown, Pennsylvania in probably the mid to late 1980’s or early 1990’s. I probably saw it in a small “indie” theater. What’s perplexing is that I know the names of two of the cast members, Czech model/actress Paulina Porizkova and musician John Popper of Blues Traveler, yet neither of their entries in IMDb lists this movie, nor can Google or Microsoft Bing seem to find it. I guess it can be described as a “rom com.” I really only remember two scenes from it: one when Paulina goes “skinny dipping” in some water at night, and the other when John is in a room with another guy discussing what was once a Quakertown phenomenon of columns of ducks crossing streets and holding up traffic. John says something like “It’s annoying to wait for them, but what are you going to do, run ’em over? What’re you, Satan?” or words to that effect. (I think I even remember the microphone boom being visible in the shot.) Even though I don’t remember the title, I recall that it was a trite expression, like “Just One More Thing” (which is the title of another movie) or some such. A more memorable title would have been “Czech Chick Goes Skinny Dipping…..” I hope someone can reassure me that my memory is not a dream or something! For those who have been in Quakertown, I recall one exterior shot being of Lucky’s Bar, although I was never inside it, so I can’t vouch for the interior shot….

I remember one specific scene: a family (adults in suits) is having a formal lunch/dinner. A boy (about 10–12) sees a Black man at the table and, out of fear or ignorance, says the man is a cannibal. The boy is scolded by a middle‑aged man (possibly an uncle or tutor). Later, the adult leaves on a train and laughs with the boy about that dinner incident at the train platform with one or two others. The movie is in color and not a horror film. Any idea what movie this is?

Hi, I’m trying to find the name of a movie or TV film I saw a few years ago (around 2015–2016), though it seemed older.

I remember that it was a live-action, dubbed in Spanish. The story focuses on a mother and her daughter, the girl goes on vacation to a beach and comes back seriously ill, then dies. I remember a scene where a doctor was with the girl and he comes down to tell the mother her daughter has died, and she breaks down. The mother feels guilty for letting her go on that trip. At the end, the mother rebuilds her life and gets married in a church, I remember her looking back for a moment before entering the church. I saw the name “Nicole” in the credits. I’m sorry for not being too specific, or maybe I remember some things differently. I was too young and it has been almost 11 years since I saw it, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This is a movie probably from the 80s, maybe early 90s.

A woman has 2 lives. In one, she is well behaved. The other, a second personality, is wild, violent and cruel.

In one scene, she is caught by another woman while torturing a man in a sado-maso situation.

It was horror. Late 90s, maybe early 2000s.

Probably B movie.

The movie starts with a group of teenagers inside a movie theater.

One character passes by the protagonist while leaving and says something like “this movie sucks” or “this movie is garbage”.

A man is harassed by several young women but he is able to chase them away!  Later, the women return and tear off his jacket, shirt, and tie, leaving him naked from the waist up.  Movie was made in the 1950s or 60s and is a comedy!

I watched this on my laptop many years ago (definitely before 2017). It’s an English film (could be US/UK/Australian). Had a small-town high school vibe. I remember the plot really clearly:

• Begins with a girl, her boyfriend, and three friends driving in a roofless/convertible car, taking pictures and having fun.
• Later, the girl and her best friend go to a bar/club-like place. It gets drugged , the main girl is sexually assaulted/raped.
• The best friend spreads a rumor that the girl is a prostitute who sleeps with older men. The whole school believes it.
• Her boyfriend breaks up with her and starts dating the ex-best friend. The guy is on the swim team.
• also guy finds out the best friend has been cheating on him with his bestfriend
• A recording happens in a locker/locker room where the truth comes out — someone secretly records the friend exposing the lie or admitting it.
• At a bonfire near the end, the recording is revealed publicly, everyone hears it, and her name is cleared.
• The attackers/people responsible are caught at the end.
• Main girl had darker hair, the ex-best friend was blonde.

This movie stuck with me, but I can’t remember the title no matter what I search.

It is NOT “Speak.”

If anyone recognizes it, please tell me — I’ve been searching for years.

I saw this move in school in the mid to late 1980s, so it had to have been done before then. This guy takees a job where he is supposed to take care of monkeys. Another employer is coldly showing him the job of feeding and cleaning. But some of them are large and aggressive. So another worker says how the larger monekys (or mayber they were baboons) are 7 times as strong as humans. So, the worker tends to a smaller monkey and really bonds with it and becomes attached to it. Does anyone remember this?

I saw the movie in the 1980s. A guy leaves this home to go get supplies for his family. They are not poor and live in a big city. It is very cold so he puts on a jacket. He walks over to a long line and at the end of the line he recognizes people he knows while talking to them. Another guy tells them hey the line keeps going and he looks and it wraps around the block. He comes home later with this big cold on his wife, kids and grandparents. Just looking at them. Looks like he has nothing. Danny pulls out a bunch of toilet paper rolls and everyone starts rejoicing.

All I remember was it was in color. A man and his girlfriend find a girl on the road and they torture this girl and eventually kill her by putting a shotgun up in her womanly parts and shoots her. I believe I had it recorded on a VHS.

I was a kid born in 1990. I had a vhs of a movie where two or three men are seen in the opening sequence running over hills like they were escaping the police or prison. One fluffy haired guy gets caught by the father farm owner and tied up in a barn where he sends his daughter to give him water.

A movie about the French Revolution. It’s long, filmed at night, and features a half-naked, possessed woman scurrying around Paris, inspiring ragamuffins to revolt. It was released in the 1990s. The lead actress resembles Sophie Marceau and Isabelle Adjani, but I didn’t find this movie in their filmography.
