Boy Looks For His Father At Model Studio

Most likely a TV movie. A boy didn’t know who his father was and his mother refused to tell him. He somehow found out where his father worked and without telling his mother, slipped into where he worked. It was a store or photograher studio where they were taking photos of people modeling clothes for an ad or a catalog. He saw his father or at least who he thought was his father and overcome with fear on how to approach him, seized up and was just staring dumbfounded. Either his father or a staff member saw him, mistook him for a model and said something to the effect of “come on, we don’t have all day”. He was rushed into a dressing room to cahnge and I believe ended up modeling swim trunks ( if I recall correctly ). I believe he ultimately chickened out as far as approaching his father or maybe the father rejected him or didn’t even know he had a son, can’t remember exactly. Later the mother found out and chastised him for going behind her back. Does this ring any bells for anyone? It may have been based off a book and if so, one of the main characters was named Ian.

Surreal French Film 1960’s

I don’t have much info on this movie. I seen part of it years ago on TCM or AMC ( or a similar channel that showed old movies. It’s a black and white film from the 1960s judging from the hairstyles and clothes. The actors are French so I’m assuming it was a French film. The main actress may have been a big name or at least became big name later in her career. It involved something to do with occultish/illumanati stuff. The woman was protecting a boy from, I believe people involved in intelligence services, as I got a spy vibe from the film. The boy may or may not have had some kind of psychic ability. I had seen promotional material for the film online way back when and the poster had occultish symbols, the main one that I can remember clearly was a hand with an eye in the palm. It was a weird film and had a very surreal feel about it.

Little Boy’s Mascot Hero Suspected of Crimes Clearwed by Older Brother

I believe this movie was from the late 90’s early 2000’s, not 100% sure. ANyways there’s a children’s character ( think Barney ), can’t remember what animal he was and I believe either the name and/or species is in the title. Either the character is either suspected of committing crimes or perhaps he was involved in kind of mind control of his viewers. It seems more like this character made live appearances on stage more so then a TV show as this is where most of the action takes place, at an outdoor show before,during, and after a show. Anyways, a little boy adores this mascot and his older brother ( who I thought was played by a younger Logan Huffman though this movie is not listed for him on IMDB so it may be someone that looks like him ) is made to take his younger brother to the show though he isn’t exactly thrilled by the idea. At any rate, when suspicions of wrongdoing are cast upon the mascot, the little boy refuses to believe it and wants his brother to proof him innocent. The brother, while initially believing the mascot is guilty, reluctantly agrees to investigate to determine the mascot’s guilt as he doesn’t want to see his little brother devastated by the mascot’s undoing. At any rate, in the end the mascot is either completely innocent or was forced against his will to cooperate by evil villains. Naturally, the brothers thwart their plot.

Werewolf Transform in rear view mirror with Updated Info

Sometime last year I had seen a series of animated gifs of werewolf scenes from movies and possibly tv shows. There was one labeled Unknown. It was a scene of a man getting into and car then look into the rear view mirror to see either a teenage boy or young man turning into a werewolf. The boy was shirtless had a necklace which snapped off during his transformation. It also shows the transformation reflected in the man’s glasses as he watches horrified.

It’s from the first set of 4 animated gifs at the link below. It says source unknown. Anyone know the source?

Werewolf Transform in rear view mirror

Sometime last year I had seen a compilation of werewolf scenes from movies and possibly tv shows. None of them were identified. One of them had either a man or a woman jump into a car and then look into the rearview mirror to see either a teenage boy or young man turning into a werewolf. I believe he was blonde and was wearing a medallion or talisman of some sort. I’m not 100% on hair color though. He may have been shirtless or at least his shirt was torn or unbuttoned. I’m assuming the person knew the werewolf in the back but didn’t realize he was a werewolf until then. I get the feeling shew jumped into the car to get away from something ( presumably another werewolf ). Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Boy looks for father at model shoot

I only really remember one scene and the general background of the story. There was a boy whose father had either left when he was a baby ( or quite young ) or didn’t know he had children ( there were siblings I believe, at least one other ). They were in a city, I believe they had recently moved there. At any rate the boy somehow found out his father worked. He snuck off ( on a bus? walked? may have skipped school ) and went to the building where his father worked. They were doing a photo shoot for a department store ad or catalog. I don’t know if the father was the photographer, set designer or director or what. The boy sees his father ( or who he believes is his father ) and just freezes, dumbfounded. The mans sees him, thinking he is one of the models and says something o the effect of “don’t just stand there, get changed”. I believe the boy does indeed model. I don’t think he reveals he’s the son at that point or maybe it turns out he wasn’t the father after all. I remember the mother chewing him out for leaving unaccompanied and without permission in the next scene.

Robot Boy Parts in Briefcase

I remember seeing this show ( I’m thinking it was 1 hour long or a 2 part 30 min each episode or perhaps one 30 min show ) in the early 80’s. I think it was an ABC Weekend Special / CBS Storybreak type show. It was live action. I believe it was was made early 80’s ( pos. late 70’s ). It featured 2 boys in the lead. One was a robot. The only real part I remember, because it stuck out so, was the robot boy was discovered disassembled in  a briefcase or suitcase. The limbs etc were in separate compartments. I seem to to remember the other boy was able to put the robot boy back together by snapping or screwing the parts together. The human boy may or may not have known his friend was a robot until discovering him disassembled. This was NOT DARYL. This was earlier 80’s. It was a network show and had the late 70’s/early 80’s tv video quality those who lived then would be quite familiar with.

TV Episode

I remember seeing an episode of a TV series sort of like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. Although this particular episode didn’t have any supernatural elements. It was in color and I want to say early to mid nineties although that’s not 100% certain. A man in Las Vegas has hit rock bottom. He wants to commit suicide but is too chicken to do it himself so he hires a hitman to kill him. He decides t0 take one last hurrah at the casino and wins a fortune. He tries to cancel the contract but the hitman refuses as a matter principle ( he always gets his man no matter what ) , even refusing to take a larger sum of money to not kill him. I can’t remember how it ended but it involved the man trying to find a way out, arguing with the hitman. Anyone remember what series and episode this was?

Movie involving adoption

I saw movie on cable in early 00’s. Movie was late 90’s early 00’s. There was a married couple who took in a blonde boy ( either temp. or adopted outright, not sure ). The couple lived in a small community in a mountainous wooded area and ran some sort of store ( either gift or general store ). They had a debate early on regarding their ability to take care of a kid ( which may have been a convo discussing whether to make temp. permanent ). The kid may or may not have been related by blood. The boy had trust/resentment issues. He had doubts about the sincerity of the couple’s affection ( i.e. faked or at least wouldn’t last ). There was a grandfatherly figure ( may have been the father of the man or woman but otherwise a neighbor ) who taught the boy to fish. I remember a scene where the boy was about to jump in a lake ( with rocks or some other hazard ) and being told to be careful or don’t do that but the had a “what do you care” attitude. I may be confusing the next part with another movie but I believe the end or a near end scene dealt with the boy running away and being found on or near a cliff in heavy rain.
