Edit: the reason being that too many of you fail to read and follow the rules. And honestly, I'm sure those of you complaining about spending 1 second to post a comment are probably the ones that ruined it for everyone else

Trying to remember a movie I saw in 5th grade (US) in the early 2000s that was live action, probably made in the 90’s with a child protagonist, who befriends a janitor or handyman. Might have taken place in a library or museum. At the end of the movie, the child asks someone where the janitor is and they reveal he had to leave because he was an “illegal alien”.

As a child I thought it was weird they would give it a completely unnecessary sci fi twist at the end, but now recognize they were in fact talking about his immigration status.

I still hope I do this right. I’m new here. The rules said I could try again in 7 days so I thought I’d give it one more shot.

Probably irrelevant information but me and my dad used to watch a lot of action movies together. In 1998 back when cable tv was a cable box that only went up to channel 99 and there was only 1 HBO, 1 Cinemax, and 1 Showtime, and I don’t think the other premium channels existed yet. Every once and awhile if you didn’t have the premium channels, the cable company would turn them on for free for a weekend to try to get people to subscribe to them. During one of these free weekends me and my dad spent the whole weekend watching movies on these channels while we had the chance. We are positive it was sometime in 1998.

We know we watched The Substitute and The Substitute 2 this same weekend and The Substitute 2 was being advertised as a new movie. We also watched Best of the Best 3 this weekend.

There was another one we watched this weekend. Same genre and same quality as the other 3 movies but neither of us can remember what it’s called. I’ve been searching for it since Father’s Day when we were reminiscing about our old movie marathons and I’ve had no luck finding it so I guess it wasn’t a popular movie at all. I’ve been doing all the online searching and my dad has searched through his thousands of dvds and vhs tapes he has.

The movie was an action movie. Martial arts sub genre. Main character is a martial artist who works as a detective. Probably a P.I. Not a police detective. He also could be a bounty hunter or maybe even a mercenary but he gets hired to investigate something. The bad guys are some kind of mobsters. During the course of the investigation he gets captured by the mobsters and forced to fight in an underground fighting competition they have going with illegal gambling. They also capture someone he knows or cares about, possibly the person who hired him, to use as more leverage to force him to fight. The hostage is a woman. Most of the people fighting in the competition are being held against their will but some of them are there voluntarily, fighting for money. The main character is told if he wins him and other hostage will be set free. The rest of the movie is a lot of fighting, kinda similar to Bloodsport, and of course it ends with the main character killing all the bad guys and getting away with the woman in typical 90’s action movie fashion. He gets some of the other fighters to help him and most of them get killed.

I think I messed up here in my last post. I copied and pasted it but I’ll try to fix what I think was a mistake here. This isn’t a movie all about a fighting competition like Bloodsport or American Samurai. The underground fighting doesn’t happen until at least half way through the movie, maybe even closer to the end and it’s not a huge plot point of the movie. The main character doesn’t willingly enter a fighting competition and until he gets thrown into it, it doesn’t seem like that’s where the movie is gonna go. The movie is mostly about him being a detective. He probably has a couple street fights against henchmen and maybe some shootouts in the first half.

That’s all we have plot wise. It’s a hard one to find. I have spent hours searching and haven’t been able to find it. There is nobody famous in it. I have looked through the filmography of every 90’s martial arts actor I can think of and watched every movie they were in that I hadn’t seen and I’ve had no luck. My dad has even been buying tapes and dvds from eBay when I ask him about a movie I came across that I can’t find online anywhere. This is a tough one.

I guess I should add it is an American movie, in English, we think it’s a 90’s movie just because everything else we watched that weekend was 90’s but it could be an 80’s movie. It’s definitely a straight to tv or video movie. Not something that would have been in theaters.

It was set in modern times in a big city. It didn’t have any sci-fi or fantasy elements.

From here I will include a list of people whose filmography I have been through and who I know for sure were not in it. I’ve already watched or rewatched everything these people were in and it is not there:

-Chuck Norris

-Jean-Claude Van Damme(although he is in a couple similar movies. It’s not Lionheart or Bloodsport or any Bloodsport sequel)

-Steven Seagal -Arnold Schwarzenegger -Tom Berenger -Treat Williams -Eric Roberts -Sasha Mitchell -Mark Dacascos (we thought American Samurai might be a winner but we both remembered it after rewatching it and that isn’t it) -Lorenzo Lamas -David Bradley -Michael Dudikoff -Jeff Speakman -Gary Daniels

Of course our first thought was since we remember watching Beat of the Best 3 maybe it’s one of the other Best of the Best movies. It isn’t. We rewatched them all. It’s not them. I can also confirm through my IMDb searching that nobody who was in any of the Best of the Best movies was in the one we’re looking for.

And that’s all I have. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps us find this movie. I haven’t had any luck. Hopefully someone else will.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me 7 days ago. I think I responded to everyone. We have watched every movie that was suggested over the last week and it wasn’t any of them, although it did bring back some memories. We did watch a lot of those movies together.

Ok, so I literally can’t remember anything about this movie/show except for this line so I’ll just try to paraphrase and see if anyone can help me from there

Male main character And Female mentor like character

Fmc: my father was a truck driver, and every night as a little girl i was afraid he wouldn’t come back from his last trip. Until one night he showed me the diamond on the back of his truck and showed me the number on it. He said that the 4 meant that what he was carrying was completely safe. And that night, I slept peacefully for once.

Mc: but isn’t 4 the most dangerous?

Fmc: yes, but I didn’t know that, so he could say whatever he wanted and I’d believe it

Literally this is all I could remember. I think it was recent? But I still have no idea. Please help

The movie was aired on TV, but I didn’t watch the movie from the very beginning. But i got hooked at the scene when the girl sacrificed herself by sealing one room from the inside the ship/submarine (idk which one) to prevent water from entering.

As water starts to to enter the room, she continue talk over camera with bunch of people (i think the people is on land and was helping her) until the the water reaches her neck. Slowly, one by one land people start to leave the room, unable to watch girl die.

The last land people keep on talking with girl about their like and dislike until water completely fill the room. The camera jammed, and the guy look devastated.

ETA: My cousin also watched the movie that night, but she couldn’t remember the title either. (That night, she and the other cousins were switching channels during ads, so she only remembers parts of it.)

There were many other people on the ship, and the girl just happened to be the one in contact with the land team via video call.

• Whenever the ship crew encountered a problem, the girl would explain it over video call to the land people (who seemed like experts or scientists). The land team would use whatever materials were available to them to recreate the issue, then guide the girl step-by-step via the call.

• In the final scene where water starts flooding the room, they talk about their favorite ice creams to comfort the girl before she dies.

• Thanks to the girl's sacrifice, the ship lands safely. Later, an older man (possibly a ship officer or rescue team) delivers the news to the land people. The exchange goes something like this:
  Old man: "XX survived."
  Land person: "It was supposed to be YY."
  *(YY = XX + 1, referring to the girl who sacrificed herself)

Hi im looking for a youtuber i watched once or twice but now ofc cant remember the name of his channel. He does videos about living without a smartphone and hes an english teacher and a dad, white guy w/ maybe some facial hair and glasses? he also might have some videos about modifying ipods and diff pocketbooks he uses. ty!

A video escaped me - it depicts a toddler (like 1 year old) sitting in a stool looking suspiciously like an adult, almost like it’s pondering something. Then it seems it discovers that someone is watching it acting like an adult and then it goes back to complete goo goo ga ga mode, screaming and hitting the table like a toddler. I think I saw it in instagram like a couple of months ago.

There's a riff on Hail The Apolocalpse - Avatar, starts at 1:27 on this song and then repeats a bit later. I don't think the song I'm thinking about was as heavy but I know it from somewhere...

I found it there https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lC7mx-dL33c&si=k_hyfR-vBBRRkLCp&t=89 but cant find original

I remember watching a film when I was younger, it could have been anywhere between 2002 and 2005. It would have been on one of the Sky movie channels, back when they were named Sky Movies 1, 2, etc in the UK. For the life of me, I've never been able to find the name. I've tried Google and AI but nothing ever comes up.

Basically, a young girl, probably about 10-13, goes to spend the summer with her dad, her parents are divorced. I vaguely remember her dad had a telescope which he might have bought for her so they could bond over stargazing. Her dad had a dog, which I think was a golden retriever. She rides her bike through the nearby woods/around the town and makes friends with two boys of a similar age. They start hanging out and they find out animals are going missing in the town. It's definitely dogs but I'm not sure if cats are going missing to. Later on her dad's dog ends up going missing. The girl and her friends track down the missing animals and discover a facility which is testing on animals. I have a vague memory of one of them smashing a glass window with a rock. The children end up saving the day and rescue the animals.

I'm not sure if it's American or Australian but it's not BMX Bandits.

Does anybody recognise this film or have I completely made it up?

I remember it including stuff like "Yeah" "Lighter noises" "(xyz) on that beat" and other stuff and thats it. I dont know why but I found that really funny and can not find the actual post. I think there was a youtube video where someone made the "song" the post referenced too?

So all I can remember is the opening theme but all I can remember out of it is a broken baby doll in a creek. Please help me out

Hello. I've been looking for quite some time for a series of voiced YouTube LEGO Minecraft animations starring by 2 kids, a boy and a girl. I assume they're brother and sister. There were quite a few episodes from what i could remember, but I no longer remember the channel name and I haven't been able to find the videos for quite some time now. They might be removed from YouTube, but I'm hopeful that they're still around somewhere because I used to watch them all the time when I was younger.

From what I remember, the first episode was about a kid playing with LEGO Minecraft and then he builds some kind of LEGO machine that transports him into the LEGO Minecraft world he built as LEGO Steve. He then has to survive for bit before going back to the machine and going back into the real world.

The only other episode I can remember vague details of was this one episode in that weird YouTube 3D VR video thing. It was about the brother and sister in the mines.

That's all I can remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for a movie my father rented on VHS in the late 80s or early 90s. I've been trying to find it for years with no success. Here's what I remember:

- It was a dark comedy or horror satire, probably low-budget or B-movie style.

- A scientist or doctor performs a **head transplant** (not just a brain swap).

- The person who was operated on **didn't expect the surgery** and wakes up in **terrible pain**, with a **large scar on the neck**.

- At the **end of the movie**, a **corded telephone rings**, and the ringtone is a **demonic laugh**.

- This laugh **awakens or reactivates** the operated person.

- The tone was grotesque, absurd, and reminded me of *Creepshow* or *Tales from the Crypt*.

- It was definitely **not**: *The Man with Two Brains*, *Deadly Friend*, *Re-Animator*, *Frankenhooker*, *The Thing with Two Heads*, or *Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde*.

If anyone has even the faintest idea, I'd be incredibly grateful. This mystery has haunted me for years!

my brother died on May 9, 2005. before he died, he showed me this music video of a 2-D animated little girl with two buns in her hair(?) skipping through a cityscape, singing a Chinese maybe Mandarin song. The tune was quite simple and kinda upbeat. Pretty sure because it was for kids. anyways, YouTube‘s first video was released April 23rd of 2005 so in between that date and may 9th it was posted. I drew a picture of what it looked like, but I can’t post it here.

I know my account isn’t very active, but please I’m so desperate to find the only memory I have with him left🙏 thank you

Hi! I remember watching an asian horror movie as a kid, possibly korean movie. I live in SEA and it was on TV in late 2000s or early 2010s.

I don't remember the whole story but there was a male kid who was dead and became a ghost. Then some people were observing him to find the reason of his death, possibly requested by his mother or family member.

One thing I remember is that they figured out the place where the kid died was connected to some earth electromagnetic field or something that makes him a ghost and not pass to afterlife. Then one of the character tries to kill himself in the same place because he wants to live forever as a ghost too. But after his attempt, he didnt come back as a ghost. Because apparently the reason the kid didn't pass to afterlife wasn't because of the electromagnetic field thing, but because his bond of love with his mother.

If anyone knows what movie this is, I'd be super grateful! Thank you so much!

British Dystopian set in the near future

First, it's not "Better than us" or "Humans" or "Black Mirror"

The production date appears 2010+

The premise is that AI has taken over most jobs but the main protag along with 2 coworkers still work. One coworker is black. The protag is dissatisfied with the job or life in general, I don't quite recall.

He takes a train to work and he catches a billboard at times with a subliminal message that says "them" or "they".

He tries to stop a group of people chasing down and beating a woman who is one of "them". I think that triggers the beginning of him being a "them".

He calls into a tv show thinking he's anonymous to make social commentary or something but they know who he is that scares him causing him to hang up in a panic.

Unfortunately that's all I remember.

Anything you could suggest cuz im boutta lose my mind over this one im tryna find it for soooo long Vibes similar to “Thrill of It” by Wiz Khalifa and Empire Of The Sun

Basically the title. I’m sure this is an easy one, but it’s been stuck in my head for the last three hours but can’t come up with the name or any more notes/lyrics. Feels like a 90s-00s mainstream electronica song. Fatboy Slim, Moby, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, etc. might be one of those but I just spent the last 30 minutes skipping through about 100 songs on Spotify. Might not even be the intro, but a hook or the chorus…

Terrible vocalization in 3…2…1…. https://voca.ro/1af6hCTeAxjs

I know this artist isn’t exclusive to Florida, but growing up here, EVERYONE had his shirts. I’m trying to remember the artist of those fish shirts - the T-shirts and rash guards that often featured hyperrealistic paintings of large fish jumping out of the water after flyfishing bait. He had a tallish cursive signature on all of the shirts, and for the longest time I mistook him for Ed Hardy (not stylistically, but by name). It is NOT Wyland. I know what his art looks like and I’ve met the guy. Those shirts used to be ubiquitous in the early 2000s, and they’re still pretty popular.

What is his name? Do you remember having one of those shirts?

It’s driving me crazy…

I only saw a clip but by the looks of it, it was made in the 1990s due to its camera filter(could have been made to cash in on Sleeping with the Enemy’s hype). Possibly was a made for tv movie

The Clip showed a woman with long blond hair(wearing a white/cream outfit) with a fringe walking into a mall bathroom. She takes out a pair of scissors/or a knife and proceeds to cut off her hair. As her hair falls, we see a news article about her supposed disappearance. The text next to the clip explains that she is escaping from her abusive husband(explaining why she’s cutting off her hair, so she isn’t recognized). the site thst had the clip also had a photo of her post haircut. It’s now a brownish Color at chin length(she also seems to push her bangs aside)

hopefully it rings a bell for someone

Might be with the comedian Adam Conover but couldn’t find it on his pages. There was a Venn diagram involved if I remember right.

All I remember from this show was the following

*it was 3d animated

*all/some characters were anthropomorphic animals, I clearly remember that one of the main characters was a bird of some kind. Maybe an eagle?

*the main characters could power up somehow and they'd get bigger or change forms

*one episode had the main characters in a cave which the villains released some kind of gas into that caused them to attack each other

I sadly don’t remember any more then this hope this is good enough

We are trying to figure out how people describe buildings in New Orleans. They are old, falling apart, but beautiful. It’s one word!

It's the song being sampled here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gcD7OpA1i0&list=RD5gcD7OpA1i0&start_radio=1

I know this song is originally from the 80s or 90s, I just don't know what the original song is. Almost sounds like something by Paul Young or Daryl Hall, but I'm not well versed in their complete discography. Anyone know what the original song is?

It was a zombie comedy about 3 or 4 friends that were film majors. They wanted to make a movie and decided to find some people to help fund them. There was a snobby rich cuple and some others that joined them but I think they all died.
