Hi, I saw this on TV in the 70s (or maybe 1980-81). I think it was a TV show, not a movie on TV, but I’m not sure. Horror genre, I suppose, since I think something supernatural was at work in the scene I remember: someone’s looking in a tall mirror on the wall. The mirror starts warping / bending / buckling, and then suddenly shatters, sending a shard into the chest of the person. Anyone remember? This site is amazing, btw!

Sci-fi/action/horror movie about anti-aging serum and a Nazi submersible research vessel in the Arctic
Hello! Trying to find an odd movie I watched quite a while ago, most likely released from late-90s to mid 2000s. The cinematography, stunts, and effects were pretty good. Acting was passable for this type of feature.
The story was about a man who had developed a serum to quickly make his body 20+ years younger, and had three combat-skilled daughters (?) working with him to search for ways to make the serum permanent. A submersible (?) ship appeared in the Arctic rising out of the ice, which turned out to be some kind of weird Nazi (?) research facility. The man sends one of his daughters to check out the vessel, and she disappears. The remaining two daughters take it upon themselves to follow up where the first daughter failed. In the end, the vessel’s origin or whereabouts remained unknown.
Sorry for the sketchy details. I do not recall any of the actors being notable stars. I searched through several AI-based movie search websites and dozens of story/character-related movies but could not re-discover this particular one. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
1970s horror
I’m pretty sure it’s a movie but it could be a tv show. The only scene I remember is there’s a woman in the kitchen washing dishes when she turns around, she has glass, or a piece of broken mirror, in her eye.
Another TaleSpin episode name
Please, I need help finding the name of another TaleSpin episode where Baloo was seen dancing with Louie and at one point, both of them joyfully bumped their rears into each while dancing.
If anyone knows and grew up with that show in the 90’s, please let me know the name as soon as possible.
Vintage movie with remote control to make people have sex
I am trying to find a movie where it starts with 2 girl on a limousine with a dude. They get attracted to the dude for a remote control toy which makes one have sex with another. The movie contained sex scenes in plane, a prison etc. There was a scene where a statue becomes human too and have sex. The whole story revolved around the remote control which makes people horny.
I saw the movie back in 2003/4.
American/Russian Spy Scene
I remember a scene from a 70s or early 80s TV show or movie, in English, in color, live action.
the scene has an American (military?) guy who’s a Russian spy with a female handler. The dude seems a reluctant spy and has had his eye altered – possibly to mimic someone else’s retina – and the handler has some kind of loving-but-controlling influence over him. Maybe the eye is bandaged, but she gets angry when she catches him smoking because it could damage the altered eye.
could be from Mission Impossible, a James Bond film or even an episode of Six Million Dollar Man, but that’s the right era. I don’t think the spy or his handler were the main characters or the star of the show/film.
should be easy for someone on here because I don’t think it’s obscure; I just can’t remember the source myself!
70’s movies where in opening credits a guard knocks a hobo off and under the train
I remember my dad taking us to a drive in movie back in the 1970’s, maybe early 1970’s, where in the opening of the film a guard (?) on an old steam locomotive knocks a hobo hitching a ride down off the train and under it in between 2 cars. It was probably a famous film, but I don’t remember any of the actors, or really anything else about the film, only that as a child the whole opening scene was really disturbing to me.
TaleSpin episode
Please, I need help finding the name of the TaleSpin episode where Baloo was seen hitting a tree (probably by swinging) and someone, either Kit or Becky told him: “Watch out for that tree!”
If anyone knows and grew up with that show in the 90’s, please let me know the name as soon as possible.
Movie about a couple in some desert
I remember a scene from this movie where this couple are driving down a long dirt road in the middle of nowhere, when a cop pulls them over. They have a gun in the car and so the woman, who’s in the passengers seat, leans over the guy to answer the window and hide the gun with her legs. I don’t remember what they got pulled over for, but they act as if they’re brother and sister so the woman can try and seduce the cop to get out of a ticket. It works, and I remember some piece of dialogue where the cop tells them that there aren’t any gas stations for a long stretch of time.
I remember also seeing another scene from the movie where they’re in a diner, and another guy in there pulls a shotgun on them after they order. The man pulls out his own weapon on him, and tells him to drop his gun. He does, and he grabs the shotgun and leaves with the woman.
It’s in english, color, and both the man and woman have pretty heavy southern accents.
Looking for comedy movie where main character is addicted to lying and gives absurd description of made up criminal to police
Man rips out his eyes in front of a crowd. (A church congregation?)
I’m guessing this movie (or TV show?) is from the 50s or 60s. Probably black and white (but I’m not sure, because I saw it on a black and white TV, in around 1980!). This must have been the end of the story, which is the only part I caught: A man walks into a big room with a big seated crowd (seems like it was probably a church congregation or something similar), and somehow they’re aware of whatever bad stuff he’s been up to (I don’t know what that is). The crowd starts chanting something like “rip them out! Rip them out! Rip them out!” and the man rips out his own eyes with his hands. Anyone know it?
Edited foreign film about a tumultuous love relationship
I saw a foreign film many years ago, I think it was French. It seemed to be from maybe the early ’60s. It was in color, and there was a scene that may have taken place in a bedroom with an attractive woman in a fairly close shot, like an upper body or a head shot. I think she had shoulder-length blond hair. If I remember correctly, there was an unseen man–in voiceover only–speaking harshly to the woman, talking about her despising him and cheating on him, something along those lines. There may have been some nudity or very strong language in the scene, because it had several cuts in it, and I think parts of the man’s monologue repeated.
Sorry it’s not much to go on.
Kid returns
Looking for a movie or tv show about a boy who went missing and returns like 5-10 years later and looks the same with no memory of where he was. he soon finds that he has some weird powers and a cute girl with black hair is protecting him from some evil force. Early 2000’s to mid 2000’s movie. American.
Apollo program dramatization featuring the postal covers scandal
I remember a scene from a movie about the early days of the space program, most likely about the Apollo missions, that featured briefly the Apollo 15 astronauts and focused on the fallout over the postal cover scandal (they took postal covers up with them to sell later).
I was sure this was HBO’s From the Earth to the Moon, but their Apollo 15 episode focuses on other, more positive parts of the mission.
Some details:
- I’m 99% sure it was dramatized, but it may have been one of those half-dramatized documentaries.
- It seemed to be in the same vein as The Right Stuff and From the Earth to the Moon. Perhaps a little less prestige and more low budget.
- It featured a scene of the Astronauts looking sheepish at a very minimal celebration, showing that their received much less attention than the other crews as a result of the scandal.
- It was probably made in the 90s or 00s.
80s Post apocalyptic movie
What I remember of the movie: I saw it in the early 80s, but maybe it was made late 70s. Post apocalyptic, water is the most valuable and rare resource. The scene that always sticks out in my mind is a woman with really frizzy hair stabbing an elderly stout man in the abdomen with a metal device she wears on her knuckles, kinda like brass knuckles, but with sharp pointy things sticking up.
I know it’s not any of the Mad Max movies (as I own them all). Thank you for your help 🙂
Lion movie
Live-action movie with lions.
All i can remember is a man and woman driving by only to find a dead dehorned rhino and spot the 5 African poachers responsible for it.
Later, the man and woman are given a month to pay before they lose their enclosure and the lions they keep there.
Later on, an old man manages to kill 3 out of 5 of the samepoachers before being killed himself.
Guy wakes up next to dead woman
I remember watching this movie in the early 2000s on tv. I don’t remember anything except this one scene.
the main character wakes up next to a woman in his bed. He leaves the room, comes back and notices she hasn’t moved. He puts his hand on her shoulder and turns her over. He sees that she is dead and has something tied around her throat. He panics and decides he needs to move her body back to her apartment which is down the hall from his apartment. He picks up her body and starts to head towards the front door.
someone knocks and he lays her body on his couch facing the back to make it look like she was just sleeping. He answers the door and talks to the person. He shits the door and picks the body back up. Another knock at the door scares him and he drops the body. He slides her into his closet, sits her up and closes the door. The person comes in and stand right in front of the closet. The closet doors starts to open but the guy shuts it immediately. The person that knocked leaves. The original guy opens the closet and her body falls out. He picks her back up by placing his arms under her arms. He drags her body into her apartment and gets her on the bed. Someone knocks on her door and he hides under the bed. The person comes into the bedroom and panics. I don’t know why this scene has stuck with me for so long. But I would love to figure out the title of this movie so I can finally finish it.
The movie is about an orphan, I think
I watched about half an hour of it, so I don’t remember much. I believe it was released between 2000-2014. It tells the story of a 10-year-old boy, possibly an orphan or living in an orphanage. I don’t recall how he ended up there; it’s the beginning of the film. The actor playing him is probably quite popular. The boy narrates about his parents’ youth, how they met, ended up on a rooftop, and slept together. The girl found out she was pregnant with the boy but didn’t tell the father. I don’t remember anything else. Please help 🙏🏻😢
Sniper movie late 2000s early 2010s maybe?
Hmmm, my comment didn’t get posted for some reason, here we go again!
The movie starts with a sniper shooting what seems to be random targets out of a van. The targets are (from what I can remember) A woman and her daughter, a man with flowers and/or a ring, a woman with a ring and/or flowers, and a guy with a popcorn or hotdog stand. He makes the shots then gets in the van and drives away. The police are called in and one of the main characters, a female FBI or Police officer contacts another sniper she knows, the other main character. She talks to him to consult on how the shot was made and why the bad sniper did it. Later you find out that the targets the sniper killed were actually all made for very specific reasons and weren’t just random targets.
Scary Santa-Claus movie from 90s
Hi all, I watched this on a TV some afternoon in the 90s. I think it was aimed for teenagers, yet it freaked me out a bit.
One protagonist was a man playing Santa Claus in the stores. At some point he enters the train and he is alone in the wagon, apart from a single passenger in a hat, face invisible. He says sth like “I don’t want to end up alone” and some creepy voice answers “you already did” and the single passenger turns out to be a skeleton :O Both phases were not exactly like that in English, as I watched it dubbed.
Another scene I remember is when he was on duty playing Santa Claus, he asks a boy on his lap “what is your name” to which the boy rudely answers “Jack the Ripper, you fat man!” and tears his fake beard off. Another boy then runs home yelling that “[Name] torn Santa Claus beard off!”.
Long shot, I am aware 🙂 Thanks everyone!
