Horror/Thriller film

It’s some sort of horror/thriller movie that starred two black guys who are best friends, who bring their girlfriends and go stay at this house that I think was in the woods away from this small town. If I’m remembering it right, there was a cop from the town that they kept talking to about this weird guy who lived in a different house in the woods and the cop ends up dying. That’s all I can remember

Girl with crazy imagination, escapes from prison(?)

So I saw this movie on TV about 5-7 years ago. This girl was sent to some hospital/prison, and scheduled to have some sort of brain surgery. She tries to escape, and imagines the plot to escape through multiple incredibly intense action scenes.  At the end, it’s revealed she did get the surgery and everything was made up.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Circus/carnival movie?

I saw this movie in 2004, from a  DVD, it may have been black and white but I don’t quite remember, and I think it was in English but at any rate I watched it in the US. One scene that stuck out in my memory is when this girl and her love interest are in the woods when the girl gets kidnapped by these cronies and taken to the circus/carnival where they scare her by doing things like strapping her to the spinning wheel and spinning her around, trying to drop an iron maiden on her which she runs out of the way of, and shooting her out of a cannon and she gets caught by the ringmaster? (I think the head of the whole operation) standing on top of a high platform over a shallow pool and he threatens to drop her or something? And I think her love interest comes and saves her at that point. Some details may be wrong because it was so long ago but it’s been driving me crazy for years that I don’t know! Thanks in advance.

European Movie With Magic Tent

About three or four years ago I saw a movie in English (though the characters had accents) in color. One of the characters was named Anthony. There was an old old man with a magic traveling tent thing that had the portal to another world in it. He traveled with the boy, Anthony, and a girl (if I remember right). It was very strange. There was a boat ride at one point, a theater in another, and a field with a house all in this magic world. There was a bad guy trying to take advantage of it (and I think some thugs were after him, but they went into the other world and their “mommy” took care of them or something). I also remember there is a scene with a big swing and all the people are going into the tent (there was a fat lady at one point who went in), it’s this big thing they are selling “go into another world” or whatever. I really want to see it again, it’s been bothering me for ages.

An interracial love in the fifties.

I saw this movie in the tv. It was about a white girl that falls in love with a black guy. She gets pregnant and run away with the guy, but her mother spells her while she was sleeping. The spell makes her to walk to a lake to kill the baby she was waiting, but the guy saves her. I remember that her father was the saviour of the guy when he was a child. The main actress looks like Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad.
There is a scene where the black guy sings “stand by me” to the girl

Man talks to muppet while dying on a couch

Around 1999 or 2000 I caught the end of an intriguing indie film.  Probably ifc or sundnce channel. A man was dying on a couch in a dark room. Possibly poisoned. Possibly AIDS. Meanwhile he carried on a conversation with a muppet like puppet. I remember the puppet being such a contrast to the human. Like it had just kept from his subconscious memory of a kids show to help him understand his mortality. If no one remembers this I ll crowd source a script because the images and characters were so vividly expressive of the labored acceptance of death

Japanese Fantasy Anthology Samurai, Train Station of Cats, Airplane

I saw the movie in Star Movies Chinese in the mid 90’s (~1996).  It’s a Japanese movie (with Chinese/English subtitles).  It’s an anthology of fantasy stories.  I can remember a few details:

1.  One is a period piece about samurai and ghosts.  There was a scene wherein a person was on his way to a meeting gathering of samurai.  When he got to the venue, the chief told him that there was something that went with him of that sort, which is not good.

2.  A guy accidentally got a kitten killed in a train.  Apparently, he was on a town station where all the inhabitants were cats.  The mother cat was there pleading her case to the station master, who was also a big cat.

3.  Another story about a plane, and some pilots, soldiers, the details of which are very hazy.

Lesbian kissing scene

HI! I saw a movie scene in 2000s(before 2008) in which two girls came back to their room after a party. they kiss each other. and the next morning one says to the other something like this… “its not a big deal. girls do this all the time. and we didnt know what we were doing. we were drunk
I know its very little information but still hope that someone has seen this scene and knows the movie. Thanks in advance.

Hospital nightmare

I have no idea whether this was B&W, on TV, or even what language it was in. I’m under the impression it was an italian comedy, but that might just be my memory playing tricks. I think I watched it 20 years ago, when I was a kid and since then I’m not sure if I hallucinated this movie or not because I constantly remember it but I’ve never been able to find out.

It’s the story of a man who checks into a hospital for some reason or other and keeps getting diagnosed with worst health problems in the most absurd way and moving up floors. In the end, I believe he throws himself off the roof to escape this nightmare.

80’S film help please

Sorry this is going to be very vague

in the rely to mid 80’s I saw a film on TV which had a lorry sort of like the universal soldier one but in desert colouring also there was a single motorbike in the film a sort of future looking dirt bike that had discs in the wheels also desert colour I seem to remember the rider had a futuristic helmet  the film was set in the desert I only saw it once as a child but have never forgotten this film probably sent to bed and put the TV on and there it was so never knew what it was called the motor bike did not fly and there was only one kind of knight rider in the desert or something like that

Kids jumping into a painting

yeah so… I watched this as a kid, and I think it’s definitely before 2005.. All I can remember is that a bunch of kids/teens, they could be siblings, are in some sort of mansion or dark castle(staying with relatives maybe?) and they accidentally fall into a painting that brings them to a Medieval world with Knights and King Etc etc. I think when one of the characters first falls into the painting, he lands in a heap of hay? And I’m pretty sure everyone in the medieval world thinks they’re weird, cause they’re dressed modernly etc etc

Yep. That’s all I’ve got 😛 would appreciate any clues!!!

1980s comedy, guy dreams of two women and wakes with two dogs

 

This was a 1980s comedy.  I likely had it taped from one of the Canadian movie channel’s “free weekends” (1984-7ish?).

The only scene I recall is our hero lying in bed (possibly wanking?), when blonde & brunette bombshells walk in and remove their tops.  One kisses him and the other goes under the covers.  He wakes to realize it is a dream, with two dogs – kissing one with the other under the covers.
