European fairy tale movie set in (somewhat) modern times

I saw that movie on TV sometime in the late ‛90s or early ’00s.
It is some sort of fairy-tale for young people. I think the main character was a girl. Perhaps there was also some witch or sorceress character.
I remember there was an episode where there was an eel in a bathtub, and later it grew a lot in the very same bathtub.
Although this is probably not very helpful, but I also remember a moment, where there was a panoramic view from some high point (perhaps from a high floor or a roof of a building) during a sunny summer day, that showed an articulated Ikarus bus passing through some residential area.
I also think there were some inscriptions in Latin script, which, together with the Ikarus bus makes me think it was filmed in a Soviet or post-Soviet country, like Czech/Czechoslovakia or something like that.

Sci-fi action movie from the 20th century

I tried to find this movie on my own multiple times, but I was unable to due to very vague (and most likely incorrect) information.
So, I watched this probably sci-fi action movie in a cinema in the ’90s (most likely between the mid and late of ‛90s, but not later than that). The movie itself may be much older however.
I was a really small kid back then and I most likely remembered and interpreted most of things incorrectly, but here is how I remember it.
I tend to think it’s European (French, German, British or so), but maybe it is American. I also tend to think it was black-and-white, but maybe it was just in depressive colors.
It seems it was about a war, perhaps WWII, or maybe just some fictional war, and some people managed to go back in time and change the course of that war. Or, those weren’t travels in time, but travels between alternative universes. And they used doors to travel. Or at least I think they did. 😂
I remember at least some of the action happened within half-ruined buildings similar to those during WWII.
Well, at least there was a point in a movie where they were walking through doors a lot, shooting each other in between, somewhere in the 2nd half of it.
Can’t name any actors, but I probably didn’t even know any back then anyway.

set in middle/high school, about bullying

Watched this movie probably somewhere during 2018 – 2020 (2019 i think). About if I remember correctly 3 middle school (MAYBE high school) girls, one of them (the main character) comes from a poor family, and another rich girl bullies her for it. Specifically remember a scene where the poor girl asks help to cut her bangs and the rich girl messes it up on purpose, says something like “Now you look homeless to match your poor family” or something. The main character (poor girl) was I think a blonde girl. Movie is in colour, looks like it was filmed sometime between 2010 – 2015, could be wrong that’s fully a guess.

A beautiful young lady crying at a funeral and later shot dead in the chest sitting on her sofa in her living room

Hi, I’m looking for a crime movie I saw on TV in mid 2000s, although I assume the movie is older, probably belongs to the 90s or late 80s.

I remember only three scenes from the movie, all involve a beautiful flirty young lady with a dark hair and short kare hair style.

Scene 1: The lady is having a romantic, flirty conversation/interaction with a guy, he is looking to become her lover and succeed (I remember this very vaguely).

Scene 2: The lady is crying at a funeral near the grave of a person whom she has known closely, while her new lover is hugging her with one hand. The weather is gloomy and she is wearing a fascinator hat with a dark net over her face (I hope I remember correctly).

Scene 3: The woman is sitting in her living room, probably on her sofa, and a man is entering and shooting her multiple times in her chest, and is she is dead. I don’t remember why he shot her or whether he took anything from the apartment before leaving.

That’s all I remember, I believe the language was English but not fully sure. As mentioned in the beginning, it’s probably a crime movie (the vibe is quite dark), and doesn’t seem to me like a cinema movie, more like a TV one (although, again, I’m not sure).

I appreciate your help In advance, thanks.

An Animated Movie/Show about a Kid dressed as an Indian finds an Indian city

I saw this on TV, so I could not be sure whether if it is an animated movie or TV show, but due to the climax I could assume it is a full-length movie. It was around 10-15 years ago when I saw it.

I only saw the climax and ending, so I cannot give much information. The story is set somewhere in the Americas (apparently), and follows a boy associated with a family of white descent, but is dressed as a native (reminds of Yukari). The story also involves a lost, ancient city of an indian tribe, and that some people want to become the tribe’s next chief, or something. The antagonist is a white man who seeks the city’s ancient powers, which involves a disk/medallion split into two parts. The kid-protagonist has one of the halves. The antagonist gets that power, but is then defeated and the kid leaves the disk/medallion in the city and returns home.

 

Teen TV series about a teenage boy who can turn his hand into different objects

This is a live-action teen sci-fi television series. It aired sometime between 1990-2010 and is about a teenage boy who can turn his hand into different objects. I only saw one season and most of the time the main villain was an African-American man piloting a robot (sitting inside it) but at some point there was a plot twist that he was actually good and it seems someone from the main character’s entourage turned out to be the villain. It seems like time travel was involved somehow, but that’s not certain. As I said earlier, the main character could turn his hand into different objects, but it seems he didn’t really know how to control this ability and instead of a weapon it could turn into some kind of fruit or something like that. I’ve been looking for this series for a long time but to no avail and I would be very glad if someone could help.

Italian horror film with gravedigger

The movie I’m thinking of was black-and-white, probably made after 1960. It was set in the 19th century (or late 18th century) and featured a gravedigger who was also a hunter of demons/vampires. There was also a young upper class woman who is targeted by a demonic/supernatural entity. Overall, the movie had a dark tone, and there were many nighttime shots. I think it ends with the gravedigger and the demon/entity confronting each other in a crypt.

I have a hunch that the title of the international release was just the name of the gravedigger character, but that may not be the original Italian title. I saw this movie around 2018, by streaming on a friend’s laptop (maybe it was on Youtube).

Thanks for reading!

Woman/Possibly Cop chasing another woman through multiple houses

So the scene in the movie is remember is a woman maybe a cop chasing after a young girl or maybea young girl and her mother. She eventually catches up to the young girl but something stops her from finishing what she’s trying to accomplish, which I believe is killing the young girl. The young girl finally gets away and the woman warns her she’ll be back for her in XX amount of years.

 

That’s all I can remember as of right now. Thanks! I do believe one of them has some kind of razor or small blade during the chase through the houses.

Guy starts killing people in neighborhood with shotgun

As the title says, a guy drives up in a picturesque neighborhood, all of this I’m pretty sure about, the grass is all bright green and perfectly manicured. White picket fences etc. The guy drives up in a yellow car, again I think. There’s a woman in a house, also yellow, and the guy gets out and kicks v the door open and blows her away with the shotgun. He’s mumbling something before he shoots her. He then goes to a neighboring house and goes after the mother their and I don’t remember what happened after that, he mightve killed himself? I think after that it fast forwards to present day and some detectives are talking about the man and why the case had never been solved.

 

I might be mixing a few movies up here, but the one I’m sure of is the guy shooting all the people in the neighborhood.

Egghead scientist consumes lighting to save friends

I watched this episode/movie in the 90s. It wasn’t a cartoon. The color scheme was dark, as in “Are you afraid of the dark?”. There was a bald scientist (not a protagonist) with an abnormal head (either egg-shaped, or simply oversized), who was able to save his friends (the protagonist group) by consuming a lightning with his head.

Thanks and respect to you all!

a series with a gay couple. I saw a cut scene from the series about 3 years ago on TikTok.

I saw a cut scene from the series about 3 years ago on TikTok. In it, men (possibly belonging to different clans or species) decided to kiss in public and reveal their relationship.

This scene closely resembles Magnus and Alec’s first kiss from the Shadowhunters, but it wasn’t them. They’ve got blue lights, and the show I’m looking for more brown and dark might be.  The series is probably American, but I don’t know for sure. The men were pretty enough. For some reason, I think one of them was a vampire and the other was either a werewolf or a hunter, but that might be my fantasy. This series definitely ran from 2000 to 2021.

I’d be very happy if someone found him or someone like him

A live-action movie about a bunch of talking dogs going on a walking day trip out in nature as they babysit a golden retriever puppy…

…(their friend, the puppy’s dad, had to go on a mission or something so he entrusted his kid to their care)

I watched this movie when I was a kid and now I can’t remember the name of the movie. I tried searching it up on Google but to no avail. Definitely not one of the Super/Air Buddies movies, as the dogs were all different breeds

Random details that I remember that may help you:

  • there was a female border collie named Sister who I think was the figurative mother of the group

  • the intro consisted of a mouse/rat sitting on the rump of a brown horse/pony; I believe the mouse/rat was narrating? then it cut to all the dog friends sitting in the corner of a barn, in the hay. the friend who had to go on a mission was like “ok guys good news or bad news” and I’m pretty sure it was during the “bad news” part that he revealed that he had to go on his mission

  • the dog friends weren’t too happy with the babysitting part at first but by the end of the day they were in love with the puppy. their friend had returned from their mission too at that point.

  • when they were all preparing to leave there was this poodle or something that was really obsessed with pink and brought a whole bunch of pink things they’d need for the day

spoof parody comedy with characters that look like power rangers

I must’ve come across this within the last 10 years or so. I had a dream about it last night, and for the life of me I can’t remember what the show/movie/film/video was. I remembered so vividly in my dream, but it faded when I woke up…

I searched the web every way I could, but the search queries always took the main words I used and just ran in a different direction.

I don’t remember any specific actors, but for some odd reason I recall the internet personality TotalBiscuit talking about it. Either in a podcast with Jesse Cox or Dodger/DexBonus, or in one of his videos.

One one thing I remember (and I could be wrong about this) but it was a spoof/parody comedy with power rangers looking characters and there were 2 black rangers. It could’ve only been a segment in the film, or the film could’ve entirely been about these characters. I can really only remember this segment in my dream, as it was right when I woke up. There was definitely more to my dream though. So in this segment, there was a commercial that played the ninja turtle theme song but with different words. Imagine the tune of the old school “Teen-Age Mu-tant Nin-Ja Tur-Tles, Teen-Age Mu-Tant Nin-Ja Turtles, Turtles in a half-shell!” but for fake power rangers. At the end of the song they ended with “F*** the police!” and poses. For some reason it feel like it was playing on a tv being displayed behind the glass of a store front, and then after the commercial ended it went onto another scene of the film. Could be wrong.

I’m not sure if the commercial was just a short part of the film, or if throughout the film there were a bunch of commercials. I think the whole movie was just a big compilation of spoofs and comedic references.

It was in English, and in color. I think it was live action but not 100% sure. It was probably something I saw on the internet, not on TV.

My dream was so vivid, and it felt like something I was remembering, not something I was imagining right there at that moment. I was trying so hard to remember other scenes so I could try to jumpstart my memory and recall some name or even what the characters looked like. But I couldn’t get anything going, and figured my best bet would be to post on a forum somewhere so I could at least have a chance at having what I document relate to someone else.

If anyone would recall something like this, then at least I know it exists and I won’t forget it.
