thriller crime film from 2008-2012

Years ago I saw a movie in theaters about a detective tracking down a serial killer who would send the victims families tapes of their murders. The only scene I remember is the family received the tape while the mom is cooking dinner and the daughter opens it and watches it. I also remember the movie itself having a lot of scenes where it’s raining.

1970-1980s movie about a college professor's midlife crisis

Wondering if anyone knows this movie. From 1970s or early 1980s. I think it takes place in Pacific Northwest. Successful middle aged college professor, maybe even ivy League. He drops out of society and becomes a laborer. Digging ditches in a dangerous job. Starts dating a working class woman who is so much more "real" than his high class educated wife, just like the joe averages are so much more "authentic" than his professor friends. Lives like a real person and has real people problems. Might not be a great movie, but stuck with me.

Thanks

British Comedy (around 2014-2016)

The movie is likely a British comedy about three elderly friends (aged between 70 and 90). After spending many years in prison, they are released and become involved in a plot surrounding a painting worth millions. The painting depicts a supermarket trolley in an empty parking lot.

One of the characters (possibly named Rallie, Rally, or Wally) is suspected of having stolen, burned, or sold the painting. To launder the money, he supposedly created a business producing small cars for elderly people. At some point in the movie, the main character visits his friend and sees the same painting again, which seems to trigger complications. The movie was likely released between 2014 and 2016.

please help me to remember a movie

The bald guy shoots people through walls he is that good. American movie plays of in a city modernish time. film could be 10 years old or more. the bald guy is not a famous actor, the hero could be

Korean fantasy, same family members over the centuries

I don't watch a lot of Asian films but I remember one that was probably Korean, and iirc it featured the same couple and some family members over the centuries (a large part was traditional looking, so pre-industrial). They were likely immortal, so I want to say there was a slight sci-fi aspect to it, beautiful cinematography, more countryside than city. The main guy (husband?) is bad and I believe the woman gets revenge at the end (in the early 20th century, on a train). I want to say there was a young girl involved too, ie, their daughter. And a brother (to one of the adult characters during the pre-industrial times).

It's probably from the 2010s, long watch time. As I wouldn't normally go searching for Asian films, it must have been something I randomly came across on Netflix back in the day. It could've been Chinese but prob not. I want to say also that the starting scenes are of the woman in some wooden structure, maybe a brothel, and she gets out, possibly escaping.

Black and white movie that takes place on a boat?

There's a middle aged couple and a young man that ends up joining them, but he wasn't invited. There's a scene where the older man and the young man are playing the pick-up stick game. And there's a tense atmosphere. The young man is unwelcome on the boat

I think it may be a German or Austrian movie.

Anyone know it?

movie or a tv show, scene on a club/golf course

the scene has a group of women who have to work together to get into a golf course because they need to interrogate an old man there. one of the women is either blonde of ginger and she's famous somehow, so she acts really bratty and throws a tantrum to distract everyone while another woman sneaks in. the woman on the golf course finds the man and pulls out her phone, and i think she gets the old man's grandson on facetime as an incentive. the grandson asks what's going on but he's unaware his grandpa is being interrogated

movie with virgin suicides vibes

hello this was kind of a dark film, I remember the scene was a highschool guy that a girl invite him to his house to watch a ghost on her room, in some point he suspect that the girl older brother was abusing her, but she told him that she was the one that ask it, really depressing stuff,also when he visit the house to stay over he saw the older borther, and he was playing with the siblings, like looked like a nice guy, anyway was interesting that while he was sleeping on the room he actually saw the ghost, it was like an old lady sitting on her bed, it was interesting cause the movie was more like a drama not a supernatural thing, and also I think it was narrated in voice over, not really sure about that, I remember that photography was similar to virgin suicides, not really sure but I thought those were the same movie for a while

Surprise Wedding

The movie has an engagement party for a couple where they announce that they're actually getting married right then. I feel like they're outside on a stage.

Random TV movie

So this might be a fever dream but I remember this tv movie, possibly Disney channel, from the 90s or late 80s and part of it was set in Asia and there was a thing about water buffalo being a symbol that they found as they searched for the plot. For some reason I feel this might have been a Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen movie but can't find it. Does anyone have any memory of this movie or mini series maybe? I feel like the water buffalo was a mystery symbol they found as they were exploring the country side and made them find clues to the end of the movie.

Obscure movie with aliens?

I'm looking for the impossible. The name of a movie I saw as a kid in the 90's. I remember very little about the movie itself but a specific scene. This group of aliens are try to stop a machine. One aliens says " the martians are attacking, the martians are attacking part 2" while throwing stuff to stop this machine. One item being a stick of dynamite on a ping pong paddle. My friend and I always use that quote and neither of us can remember what the movie is.

Guy works in heaven helping new souls to earth

I saw a trailer a while back of a black guy that works in heaven helping new souls going to earth. The movie that's place in his house where he help 4 to 5 souls understand what life is going to be. By helping them with emotions and experiencing pain on earth. Need help finding it. Between 2017-2020 dates might be wrong.

Horror short film about a woman that finds a squatter living in her house

Been trying to find this movie for years between my best friend and i. we watched it years ago on the xfinity on demand short film section and it was considered a horror movie. Throughout the movie this woman finds weird clues around her house indicting that someone is living in it. For example there would be hair on the sink and dirty foot prints in the shower. Towards the end of the movie she eventually finds the lady living in her kitchen cabinet. We haven’t been able to remember the movie name and we can’t find it online anywhere. Anyone know what this movie was called?

Help me find a movie plz!

Watched it as as a kid in the 90s.

Scene I remember is group of (satanic?) men (teenagers?) terrorize a guy in his front yard. Guy gets sucked into the ground with only his head exposed. Guys then magically levitate a deck of cards, spin them and shoot them at the guy which then get impaled on his face. I think guy gets killed by his lawnmower. Also magic teenagers.

I think also close to the end of the movie a demon get summoned by a summoning circle.

That’s what I got. Thanks everyone!

Movie or show where they’re watching Game of Thrones

Its been driving me crazy! I rewatched Game of Thrones and recognized the scene where they’re surrounded by whitewalkers and the dragons come save them from another movie or show. I think it was a romance movie maybe, and the person or couple was watching that scene. TIA!

Scene from a horror that’s stuck with me!

I saw a scene on a horror film clip show about 15 years ago which left a real impression - I was only young and didn’t/don’t watch horrors. It looked super low budget, might even be a made-for-TV or straight-to-VHS kind of deal.

This woman was being chased through what looked like a dilapidated hospital/school. The guy chasing her caught up and drilled into her face with a dremel-type electric tool (with a small circular saw).

Can’t be more specific than that I’m afraid, other than the show the clip was featured in went out on or around NYE 2009 on British TV.

What is this movie?

I watched a clip of this movie on Facebook reels but accidentally clicked out before finding the name of the movie, in the clip the were 2 girls sitting by a piano (I think) a blonde one and a brunette, they want to take a selfie but they don't have their phone so the brunette says, let's use dad's phone and grabs the phone from the dad's Hand and then she sees like a surveillance video feed and she can see a man tied to a chair, she goes and locks herself in the bathroom, while the dad is banging on the door to open up and give back the phone, in the meantime, she talks to the tied man asking for details that he can remember so she can try and save him, he says he saw a broken lion statue and the house had a blue door, then she goes on live stream on something like Instagram and asks her fans if anyone knows the location and one person says they live nearby, she tells the person to talk to the police and go there.

This is when I accidentally clicked out of the reel and wasn't able to check the description or comments for the name, but it looked interesting and I would like to watch it. Does anyone know what movie this is?

Please help me!!

I remember watching this movie about 10-13 years ago as a kid. Remember it being about teens in some sort of video game like challenge. They had suits that gave them powers and they were fighting in an arena thing. The main character was in love with a girl that was on his team. I feel like it could be a Disney movie, not sure tho.

Movie where grandpa reconciles with grandson

I remember this movie where this grandchild and his friend for some reason had to pass time with a grandpa but for some reason the grandpa didn’t like his grandchild. With time the grandpa connected with his grandson’s friend, angering his grandson.

Also there was a scene where the grandpa and one of the kids were throwing a rock into the sea(i think?) to get rid of some feelings or pain or whatever. And the grandpa reconciled with the grandchild after this.

Can anyone remember the name of the movie?
