70s Kid Movie

I saw this movie in elementary school during the early 80s. It was in color and it was in English. I remember they were wearing 70s style clothing and there was a young teenage boy that was upset about something. Two girls started singing to cheer him up and they sang a song that repeated the line “sunshine, sunshine.” It was very upbeat. He started feeling better and was also dancing around and at the end of the song he stepped in something in the kitchen. It was either dog food or dog poop. After the song they went on to solve the problem the boy was worried about.

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE IS CLOSING SHOP

I regret to announce that I won’t be renewing the irememberthismovie.com domain when it expires on June 28, 2026.

It has been a great run, and the site served the purpose I created it for. The landscape of the Internet has changed, however. This site was founded before the dominance of mega-social media platforms, reddit, and widespread artificial intelligence. These developments have made crowdsourced movie-identifying platforms like this one far less useful. Also, less profitable. At the beginning, this site paid for itself with ad revenue. Now, it does not.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped others rediscover forgotten movie titles.

You may still post questions, answers, and comments up until the lights turn out at the end of June.

366 Weird Movies will continue indefinitely—but we won’t be answering movie memory questions there.

Trying to find a movie but can only remember one scene

trying to find a movie here’s what I remember A beautiful women drags a random man into a room next to what seems to be the living room, where a paralyzed man is lying on a couch. She pours something on the man and sets him on fire. Then she walks over to the paralyzed man. I remember him saying something like, “If God has given me the strength…” before she challenges him to a choking contest. She places his hand on her neck while choking him at the same time. In the end, she wins the struggle. When the paralyzed man dies, she smiles andsheds a tear.

Movie about a girl who has singing talent I think

So this movie is about a girl who has talent in singing I think? Pretty sure it was singing, and there’s guy in the movie who carries around a comic book I think it was amazing Spider-Man 129 (first appearance of Punisher) so basically he ends up losing the comic book cuz of a bet or a broken promise I think which involves that the girl with talent had to show up to a concert or event type thing I believe, but she didn’t show up, so yh the guy loses his comic book, but somewhere in the end of the movie the girl ends up getting the comic book back and gives it back to the guy who lost it, and oh yh they did romance each other I believe cuz they had a scene where they yk… So yh that’s all the details I remember from that movie, pls help me find it

I remember this movie with guinea pigs..

So this movie had guinea pigs and they jumped on tubes of paint, I think the paint was magical? Because I swear I remember one of the guinea pigs flying on the paint. There was also a dragon that I distinctly remember being blue. The guinea pigs couldn’t talk, and they looked like real life guinea pigs. I think I saw it around 2013 or 2014, and it was either from Redbox or on live tv (like the kind of tv where you can’t pause shows and movies) I feel like they were in a little girl’s room the whole time cause I remember there being a desk. I’ve been researching it a lot and it isn’t Quest for Zhu, Tale of Despereux, G-Force, or Wonder Pets.

Strange movie involving an island with nuns, and two kids using a hang glider to get there

I saw this movie on DVD sometime between 2012-2016, but the movie itself could have been older. It was in color and was live action. Two kids used a hang glider to travel through a (cloud, fog, storm?) portal, which got them on an island (not sandy, but grassy, reminds me of the Scottish highlands, also near a bigger price of land) that had a bunch of nuns on it. The building was very castle-esqe and stony. That’s pretty much all I remember, but I know it wasn’t a horror movie.

Need help find a movie a barely remember

Okay, so I only remembering the first few opening scenes. This movie is newer, can’t be older than 2017, I wouldn’t be surprise if it was made in the last 5 years. It was on Amazon prime video once, but I can’t find it anymore. It was an art film and that type of independent film vibe. The movie started with a shot of the ocean and it was a lovely light blue color and the sun was shimmering off it. It looked like Mediterranean climate and scene. The beach was grey rocks or just not a typical sandy beach. There was couple, both white. One boy with blond hair, in good shape. There was girl, short darker hair. They were making out and then maybe discussing how they feel about each other. Then shortly after there was scene with that same girl with her parent in the evening time. Having family time  and enjoying their time dancing. It was on a stone patio and there was view from the ocean where they were. The parents were olive skinned or maybe white. The parents started kissing  and the daughter got embarrassed. That is all I remember.

Need help remembering a comedy about group of con men

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.

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?

an early 2000’s thriller movie…

Hey guys, I’m Looking for a thriller/drama (likely 2000s-2010s, maybe a TV or direct-to-TV movie) :

A couple constantly argue they’re raising five children in a toxic relationship. The husband is doing everything he can to support the family, but through unfortunate circumstances he gets fired from his job in a heated argument with his boss after showing up late one day.

He later discovers his wife has been secretly taking the family’s savings.

One day while she’s asleep, he finds a stash of money hidden in her shirt (in her chest area). This explains why their money had been “disappearing” from excess expenditures.

Their lives had already been miserable.

In the opening scene, he’s sitting at the table with a gun nearby, waiting for her to wake up so he can confront her about it.

He then has a vivid fantasy sequence where he kills his wife and the rest of the family, but he can’t bring himself to kill their youngest daughter. He escapes with her instead.

Realizing what he’s done, he knows he’s in trouble with the law. Still, he takes the girl with him in a pickup truck, trying to start over. They lay low in another town. He takes a job at a café/diner and comes home to her every day. He even meets a new woman and starts to fall in love.

He also becomes friends with a local cop because of their shared military background.

The daughter, being a kid, sneaks out one day to play at a playground while he’s at work. The ccopher father befriended finds her alone on the swingset after curfew, and this raises questions. Over the next few weeks, the cop slowly investigates the man’s background.

Eventually, the truth unravels. The man is arrested, and in the chaos the daughter is struck by a vehicle while trying to help him as the cops close in.

Final twist: it cuts back to the beginning at the kitchen table. The entire sequence was just him imagining/daydreaming what might happen if he killed his family.

None of it actually occurred.

I found a very similar description on a subreddit before — someone recalled a film where a man kills his wife/ children, flees with his daughter, hides out, meets a woman, and it all turns out to be in his head. It sounds almost identical to what I remember, but I haven’t seen a confirmed title yet.

This movie is in english and in color and I remember seeing this movie sometime last year but i couldnt recall the name. I believe it was on a TV channel with vintage movies or something like that.

Not Fractured (2019), not Dream House (2011), not The Killing of Two Lovers (2020)

Does anyone know what this movie is?

Library in head

Film or series about 2 girl friends: one is rich with dark hair and she couldbe Jewish, one is poor. The story starts before 2WW. Rich woman marries a man, he wore military uniform, maybe was a nazi. They couldn’t have children and asked the poor girl become their surrogate mother. To do this rich woman tells her husband to make love with her poor friend, she becomes pregnant and rich woman notices that her husband has feelings to a poor woman. To save her marriage and a child she accuses a poor woman as a Jewish and sends her to getto.

This film may be Polish or in collab with other countries. I remember it as black and white, but suppose it could be also colored. I saw it on TV appr. in 1990s – 2000s

Looking for a movie

HI,

Looking for a mid 2000’s movie. Siblings go out to desert (maybe camping) with her boyfriend. See something strange (i think phoenix lights). When they get home someone starts watching their house, following them etc. I think it is a POV movie.  Parents are out of town during this.  Thanks

Movie or episode in a series

What i remember is a male living his life but something happens and it turns out at the end that he is in a simulation and his actually body is dead but his upper body is still connected to some machines somewhere and there are people doing experiments on his upper body and consciousness. A woman who works there feels bad for him after something happens to him in the simulation and runs to where his upper body is and disconnects it so he can finally have a peaceful death. That is everything I remember.
