Cartoon about a Killer Pumpkin

I've this vivid recollection as a kid (about 20 years ago) of watching a cartoon with a kid or small man with a pumpkin for a head going around trick or treating. The boy then approaches a man in an alleyway and offers him the sack, as if inviting him to give some sweets. Then I remember seeing the shadow of someone stabbing somebody on the floor (as a kid, I Mandela'd as if it was the kid getting stabbed, but as I watched it again as a teenager, it was actually the other way around).

I cannot find this - obviously adult - animation, every time I try to type it, the results are dubious Halloween slashers.

I have this half remembered scene from I think a comedy spy movie

All I remember is this: our hero’s are watching the bad guys who are at a strip club, the hero’s have to steal something from the bad guys, so at least one of the male hero’s disguises themselves as a female stripper so he can get close to the bad guys. One of the bad guys says something sleazy to the guy like “nice ass” or something, he smile’s genuinely grateful for the compliment and replies “thanks man” in a masculine voice at which point the deception is over, leading to a fight/chase scene as our hero’s try to get away.

This is going to drive me crazy so if anyone here knows where this is from I would appreciate it!

A movie about a cannibal

So, all I remember from the movie is that the man (the cannibal) had a girlfriend (they met recently) who he brought in his home. When she fell asleep he stripped her and was contemplating whether to eat her or not, but then the scene switched to her waking up in bed, unharmed. I know, not very detailed, but I can't get it out of my head!

Help me with this comedy? Movie

So basically all I remember is this idea that the main character never wants to work hard in life to make money and I remember how it flashes back to how the main characters dad was an honest hard worker and one day he falls asleep on the wheel of a truck and crashes into the house exploding it. The setting of the crash I remember it was more of a rural place with a poor house kind of in the middle of nowhere and I think the cast was Mexican not sure tho, also the crash was kind of very fast paced and seemed to be more of a “funny” scene to include and not a super sad movie changing scene, just backstory on why the character doesn’t believe in honest hard work minimum wage jobs

Help me pls

I watched this movie on DVD around 2010, and it's a science fiction film. The story begins with a man being released from a prison for people with mental disabilities—I don’t remember why he was there. He claims that he was abducted by aliens as a child and also spoke strange words that, according to him, were in the aliens' language. One detail is that he always wears sunglasses, which also has something to do with the aliens. A man, who I believe is a psychiatrist, takes him in and brings him to his house to study his past and understand where his fixation on aliens comes from. The psychiatrist has a wife (or sister, I’m not sure) who also has a mental disability; she is more childlike and takes care of a doll that she claims is her son. In one scene, the protagonist tricks the woman into showing her breasts, claiming it was to check if she had been abducted or not. At the end of the movie, we discover that the protagonist was abused by his father, and the whole story he told about alien abduction was a fantasy he created to cope with the abuse. The movie ends with the protagonist and the psychiatrist at the farm where he was raised—I don’t remember the exact context, but there’s a conflict where the protagonist is shot in the chest. He falls in the field, and the camera, from a top-down view, starts to rise with him centered, while the psychiatrist arrives and tries to revive him. I don’t have information about the actors, but it’s a little-known film, and I believe it wasn’t released in theaters.

A girl (Justine) scanning herself in a machine, ends up creating her dream guy

I simply cannot remember the title on this film I obsessed over as a teen (early 2000s). It's about a young dark haired girl, who is not happy with how she looks. She goes to a tech fair with her nerdy friend, finds a machine that claims to be able to change your appearance. She scans her body but ends up having fun creating her dream guy on the screen instead. Then there's a power outing, the machine breaks down just when she presses Copy on the machine. Somehow it ends up actually creating a new person that looks just like him, her dream guy, and she ends up falling in love with him, even though it's actually herself in his body.

I remember the main character is named Justine, the rival pretty girl is called Hoover, and they use the song "Would you...?" By Touch And Go in the movie.

Hoping someone here can help me find it 😊

Can't remember this 80's or early 90's(?) movie.

So the only thing I remember about the movie is a motel scene where the housekeeper or roomservice lady walks in and just start blowing the antagonist in front of the window. It was definatly a crime type movie. I thought it was Another 48hrs but it's not, however if I remember it does have the same vibes(?). I was really young when we watched it and I remember my sister telling me to close my eyes and turn my head so I didn't see what was happening. Any title's worth mentioning will be looked into. This happened probably 1996-99. Thanks for reading.

European Man in Texas, Falls in Love, Dies in Car Accident

Hello everyone! I'm desperate to find this film, please help! This is the plot: A European man (maybe Danish?) is travelling in the US with his friends. The man used to be on a children's television show back home. He meets a waitress in Texas, they fall in love. The man stays in Texas while his friends go back to Europe. Awhile later, when he decides to leave, he is in a car accident and dies. The rest of the movie is about the woman and the deceased man's family, which may involve a fake pregnancy. The actress looks somewhat like america ferreira, I believe? Curvy, latina-american?

I probably saw this film on television between 2002-2016! Thanks for any help :)

Movie similar to misery

I had a movie recommended to me by a friend but doesn't remember the title. It's similar to misery in that it's about an author held captive and made to rewrite a novel. Not sure if that's enough to go on but hoping someone might know what movie that is. Thanks!

Blonde girl inherit a farm and moves to the countryside

Hi! So, today i'm like 18 years old and when I was younger I remember watching a movie with my mom that I can't remember the name. We had a pay television operator (I guess that's how you say that in english) and I remember a few things of that. We could see the synopsis and the year/country/director of the movie. I remember it was a French Movie released in 2014, according to the Claro TV (TV operator we used back then). The movie was about a blonde girl, I don't remember if she was blue-eyed or not. She used to live in Paris, or another big city and she had a relationship with a random guy. One day, she receives a note from a attorney that was taking care of the inheritance of one of her relatives. That relative died and left a farm on the countryside, and since there wasn't any other alive relative that could inherit the farm, she was the one who had to take care of it. Then she moves to the countryside, and when she arrives to the farm everything is a huge mess. When she arrives, she discovers that she actually does have a alive relative, that is a cousin a few years older than her diagnosed with a sort of cognitive issue, and because of his condition couldn't take care of the farm. On the farm, she meets a man that used to work there with her dead relative, and the both of them have a enemies to lovers relationship on the movie. I remember that he had a small beard and curly brown hair. The city the protagonist moved to was really tiny and there wasn't much to do on there. I remember that she used to go frequently to a bar where she would always ask for Bloody Mary's, and at some point of the movie she tries to leave her cousin in a asylum, but he ends up escaping. At the end of the movie, she is happy and friends with her cousin, and she's dating the man she had the enemies to lovers relationship. That's all I can remember, and I wish I could at least be able to know the name of one of the actors, but I can't. I already looked for that movie in a lot of places and I never got even close of finding it. So a few friends recommended me to try putting it on Reddit. If anyone knows any info about that movie, please let them down below!!

Time travel / aging movie that ends in a classroom

I thought this was from Big, but apparently not. Or my wife thinks I imagined it?

It's a romantic movie from the 80s/90s that must have some elements of time travel or aging. All I remember is the final scene is in a classroom and a female new student is introduced, but it is the young version of the love interest from the whole movie that has somehow turned herself young or gone back in time. The other character immediately recognizes her and they smile at each other. And the movie ends.

Someone help me.

Action comedy with possibly a heist involving 10.000$ bills

Hi, I've been trying to find the title of a movie wich I saw as a kid.

Trid AI, but could not find the title.

Action comey from the late '80s - mid '90s.

Two friends, they try to pull a heist that involves 10.000$ bill, one of the friends is black and has the "special" ability to always know when a coconut would fall from a three and he stands under it and catches it.

Near the end of the movie this friend is thought to be dead, the other on finds a 10.000$ bill on the beach under a pebble, realizing the other one is alive, and he's shown catching a coconut.

Does it make sense?

Horse chase on rooftop

It's killing me to nor remember this. I laughed so hard when I saw it, but I can't for the life of me remember it! There was a chase scene that ended up with the horse either inside the building or on the roof and the horse was running toward the edge and skidded to a stop and fingers shot out from the hooves to stop from going over. I'm going to die slowly until someone can refresh my memory. Google sucks now because of the AI. I can't research anything anymore.

Newerish Horror / Suspense

The story involves a group of kids who want to kill a girl, but rope in a total of three to four kids & go out on Halloween night trick or treating trying to find the perfect victim to practice on before killing the girl.

They end up killing a homeless / drunk person, a couple in their home after they let them in. They used the lamp, and the kids get away from the police. They left their bikes in the yard I believe because they burned the house down.

I thought this was a show, but it could be a movie. I was curious if this sounded familiar to anyone & if there was potentially a sequel.

Movie about school shooting

I remember seeing a movie or tv series about a school shooting. I remember there being a group of students who are now older that go back to the school where it happened. I also remember that a female ex-student is doing an interview in the school where it happened and that caused some outrage. And then at the end the through flashbacks the school shooting scenes are shown. I think one of the characters is in a wheelchair and someone is presented as hero but then turns out not to be.

I hope this makes sense.

Old movie of WW2-era-ish anti-german spy with infamous dining scene

I remember there was this movie of I believe a Frenchman who was perhaps a spy or anti-nazi. There is this popular scene from the movie, of him dining and wining the germans, eventually becoming a part of a group photo with them. During the scene he is seen ordering wines, and he explicitly orders wines that supports France/non-Axis aligned country.

What was the movie?

Help me find two movies from the 70's or 80's

The first movie is about a little boy kept in a glass bubble, and parents/caregivers could only touch him through gloves that were attached to the bubble.

The second movie is about a young girl who (somehow, maybe a plane crash) ends up in a very remote area and is found by an indigenous person. She slowly learns their language and learns to hunt to survive (?). I can remember the image of a rocky area, when she was following the indigenous person.
