A scene where the house is burnt, and a maid with a new-born baby got trapped inside the attic/top floor

I remember this scene that I watched before 2005-2008, and don’t know if it’s from a drama or a movie. This scene’s settings is the same era in Downton Abbey.

In the scene, there’s a burning house, and everybody in the house were very panic. They all run out of the house to save their lives. But a new-born child is left alone and no one cared about him. Only one housemaid remembered and came back into the house to save him. When she picked the baby up, she had to run to the top floor/attic. She with a baby in her hands is trapped. She punched the glass window of the room, and the scene focused on how painful she was when the fire bury them. She screams, and the baby cries.

Cut to the next scene is a group of people sitting together outside of the house, safe and sound.

Please help me to find which movie/drama this scene is from. Thank you!

TV movie from the early 70s about a troubled teenager who lives with a single mom and he plots to kill her boyfriend

I saw this on television, possibly during the 1970s or 1980s. It was in color. The movie was about a single mother and her troubled teenage son, maybe 12 years old and they both lived alone together in an apartment. I can’t remember if it was Chicago or New York City, but it had that sort of ambience. They lived in an apartment building. The son was very jealous and possessive of his mother and did not want her to date or have boyfriends. When she started seeing a man, the son plotted to have her boyfriend murdered. During the movie, he decides to make a pass and try to kiss this other older teenagers girlfriend. The older teenager is chasing the young teenager down the street.  A young biker with a leather jacket, confronts the older teenager to protect the young kid. They both become friends.As the movie progressed, he has a relationship with an older high school girl. The story continued, and he was very determined to put an answer to the relationship. His mother had with her boyfriend.  He decides to plan a fire in the apartment building to kill his mother‘s boyfriend. The biker, is very concerned as the kid climbs up the fire escape to start the fire. The biker friend makes a call to the police.The movie continues where the mother is trapped in the apartment. Her son is screaming somebody please help my mother, but it’s too late and she ends up getting killed in the fire. The teenager now is in a rehab rehabilitation house for troubled children.  The movie ends where the boyfriend goes to visit, but he’s not permitted to see the teenager. As his mother’s boyfriend is walking out, he glances up and sees the teenager, staring at him through a window. The boyfriend is waving at him, acting silly to try to get him to laugh. And that’s how the movie ends.

Movie about Taxi

Post:

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!

scary chicken/rooster scene in a kitchen

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).

Weird movie scene where a guy eats dog food

the movie is probably from before 2010 and i cannot recall the language, but i most liked watched it dubbed in Brazillian Portuguese

basically the scene starts with two guys – one of them is handcuffed and being carried by another man into a house. (he house is owned by the man that is carring the other and his wife, son and dog are there when they arrive.

i think the guy, most likely a cop or something, takes the man to the bathroom and beats him.

a little later, the guy that is handcuffed crawls on the floor and eats dog food. the son of the cop, hes like 7/8 years old, walks in and sees the man eating from the dogs bowl.

Both guys in the movie seem young; the “cop” is well dressed and the “captive” later takes his shirt off (i dont know the context of any of this lol)

Dart gun( not quicksilver,rad or tag

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

Movie Filmed in Quakertown, Pennsylvania

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….

Dinner scene

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?

Looking for a movie/TV film: girl dies after vacation, mother feels guilty, and wedding at the end

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!

Help me find the movie name

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.

Movie with a monkey

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?

Set in eastern Europe or Russia

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.
