Old animated film on movie channels

There was a an animated film I watched probably 15 years ago on movie channels, so HBO and Showtime and such.

It's about a group of 3 kids doing things like stealing an X-ray from the hospital to see a naked woman. I very distinctly remember a line like "We shouldn't have to deal with being childhood until we grow up"

It was definitely Western animation along the lines of Fritz the cat, but more modern. I would guess it was made in the late 80s

Hits Someone At A Table, Then Points At The Next Guy Standing To Say “Sit Back Down”

I thought it was Tommy Lee Jones in the scene, but don’t take that for sure. This one’s been agonizing me for a while, trying to remember.

looking for an old movie from the mid-late 80s

This movie centered on a group of siblings who (I think) were abandoned. The teenage sister often had all the kids sneak into a neighbor's pool at night. One night, the littlest boy couldn't find the others so he snuck out to pool by himself and drowns or almost drowns. The owner of the pool found him face down in the water. Can't remember if he was saved

Stalker/obsession small production budget movie

I cannot find it to save my life 😟. It's a thriller movie, no real horror elements, no gore. The girl being stalked is a brunette, long hair, big eyes, the actress I believe was Spanish/Latina or the last name at least. Movie is in English.

The guy gets obsessed with her, tries to befriend her, stalks her and eventually trap her inside her home, can't remember what else happens. I remember one of them (possibly the girl) strangling the other to death in the end, maybe.

The cast is very limited, possibly just the two of them? And her house is maybe the only place the action takes place.

It's definitely a small production with a lower budget, and I think it has a short name, like 2 or three words maybe. It's quite similar to P2, but there's no bloody violence , just struggling?

**Please, help me out! Thank you a lot?

I'm looking for a simpler American action movie that I saw on TV around 2000

The movie is possibly from the 90s.

A black man showers several times every day, and in one scene he is lectured by a man who says "You don't need to shower so much, you could do it all day and your skin wouldn't be any whiter."

What is the movie

What is the title of the movie in which the devil tells someone that he granted a wish for a young couple, which was to live happily ever after, and he killed them right after their wedding?

A clip from a movie i used to watch

Not sure if this is allowed but im not sure where else to post. When i was younger i used to watch a lot of animated movies on dvd (disney, pixar, etc - movies from around 1990 to 2015?), and i remember that one of the movies had a before scene, i wanna say it was a fox movie? Where a dinosaur skeleton (t rex) in a museum would come to life and run rampage around the museum and then roar to the sky? And then i think the fox logo would come up. It might have been ice age 3? But i dont have a way to check. And its not night at the museum as i have never watched any of those movies nor had the chance too and i have seen the clip multiple times. Im dutch so i might have been on a Dutch dvd if that would make a difference.

Tldr: t rex skeleton running rampage around a museum as a before creddit scene, no its not one of the night at the museum movies

A movie with teenagers on it

I remember watching a movie in which there were mostly teeagers on it. I only remember a scene in which a guard was asking an asian girl with a red police cap a question and she just flips the guard off, but then she turns it into a number two.

Additional info: •The asian girl was a teenager •She was with a white dude who could'nt answer the question •The guard was plus sized

Finally got to watching "the last of us", and it reminds of some movie or TV show that I can't remember. Person has special blood that can cure people from some kind of disease (zombies maybe...). And people taking that Person to scientists to make antidote

Old man unaware he's standing on a crate of gold bars.

American movie from the 80's. Probably watched on HBO. Some sort of adventure movie, maybe looking for lost gold. Want to say it took place in the mountains. The end scene has the old uncle or grandpa character standing on a submerged crate of gold bars. He's possibly waving goodbye to the main characters leaving on a sea plane? He's unaware of what he's standing on.

Something I briefly watched when I was a kid but my older sister changed the channel because it got a bit NSFW

I can only remember two key moments. I think it was a horror /thriller film. The wife/girlfriend is looking for something in the attic, it’s dark. Husband/boyfriend pops his head through the attic door and basically asks what’s she doing. He’s very creepy looking. Then the scene cuts to a short sex scene between the two. That’s all I remember before the channel was changed.

Costume party about death?

I can remember 3 scenes, a guy getting shot in the head and was like " oh come on" and flops over. And a girl falling off her chair, getting some spike in her head and getting up quickly and saying something like " what's that smell? What you say?" Then dies, and a scene where people thought a bloody room was a expression of art or something like that. One of the main characters was in like a crappy knight costume with cardboard armor.

Movie Help.

I watched a movie about 5 years ago - I would guess the movie was released pre 1980 based on camera and feel. All I can really remember from the movie is a beautiful walk through a desert canyon - some sort of small skirmish in the desert canyon with guns. The movie ends near a train I think, and it is not Lawrence of Arabia (1962). Could be a foreign film as well. Movie pace is relatively slow as far as I can remember.

Looking for a movie that I watched a very long time ago (maybe a graphic zombie movie?)

I will be connecting bits and pieces from what I remember so I'm sorry if some of it makes almost no sense.

At the beginning there was a girl that got taken away from her mother by military at a gated area (maybe because they couldn't take anymore adults?) due to an infection spreading, people dying, etc (I think the little girl lost her eye after being shot, again just maybe)

I think she was later put into a maybe special operations like team.

I remember the movie having a female (maybe the protagonist) that could throw a ball (maybe her own eye?) on the ground being able to "scan" rooms before the (maybe) protagonist would (maybe with the alleged team) enter.
Most of the people were (probably) "quarantined" and were basically left to die (yet again, probably).

The other thing I remember was that one of the "seeming infected" broke into a place (maybe a laboratory), killed a person/scientist (chopped off his hand with a pickaxe and scanned his hand on a hand scanner by a glass door)

Help solve my Mum’s years long search 😂

Trying to find a movie that my Mum watched when she was younger. These are the details she feels that she can recall:

• Roughly from the 70’s to early 80’s. • Man in a band that is from the the UK • Reconnects up with a girl (possibly ex girlfriend/someone from school) and he wants her to go on tour with them – possibly up to Scotland. • They would have travelled in a ‘transit’ van. • She believes that it wasn’t a ‘mainstream’ movie or with any well known actors.

I have tried googling and literally come up with nothing! She will love you forever!

“Right, Nurse Ratched.?”

Movie where the character, I believe Jack Nicholson, is in a hospital setting and sarcastically says, “Right, Nurse Ratched?” to a stern nurse. Obvious reference to One Flew Over the Coocoos Nest but not that movie. It might not have been Jack but I can picture him saying it or someone imitating him saying it.

Some sort of an apocalyptic movie

A while back I watched a movie with sort of apocalyptic setting. It was about a teen/young man going from one town to another to find his girlfriend/SO. It was kind of futuritic, and the only scene I remember is the main actor sitting on a bench with a robot with a TV as his head looking at floating jellyfish and listening to "stand by me" song

Hi! Im looking for a movie and all i remember is this scene where the robbers were robbing a highly secured place it looked like it was federal cause it had a lot of guns and money or it might have been a place where they keep that stuff.

All I remember is one scene

I have tried finding this movie off and on for years and still haven't had any luck. When I was younger, no older than 7, I saw a scene from a movie, maybe a show, that has lived in my head rent free ever since.

There's a Halloween party, I assume because there's a young boy dressed in a devil costume and I vaguely remember a girl around his age wearing some kind of costume too. The boy gestures, pretending to grab his eyes from his face and put them in his mouth. The girl looks angrily at him and I'm not sure how long after, the boy in the devil costume collapses, falling on his face, and an adult turns him over and we're shown that the boys eyes are missing.

movie with a red-haired trickster who gets into trouble from a titular purple goo prank

I don’t know if this is enough information for anyone to go off of, but I’ve been on a long search for a live-action movie from the 2010s that used to be on Netflix when I was a kid. Basically, the plot that I can remember is that there’s this red-haired kid who regularly pranks his classmates, much to the annoyance of those around him, and who I remember either being his sister or his girl-best friend. The titular point in the movie is that he pranks a whole classroom with a saturated purple goo, and I remember it being a turning point in the film when he’s severely punished. Besides that, all I can remember is that the color purple was significant and the poster illustrated the kid with the aforementioned girl beside/behind him. There could’ve been a purple puzzle piece or something similar also on the poster, but I can’t remember. I also have a memory of likening it to films like diary of a wimpy kid, horrid henry, as well as spy kids. I understand if this makes no sense but I’ve been looking for this film for years and I don’t know what to do 😭

Need the name of this film

I remember this being very popular film (or perhaps an episode from a tv show) but I can't seem to remember the names of them.

One of the plots essentially regarded a young boy being duped into a scam. He was living his life but someone intervened and essentially sold him a scam. He ended up joining a monastary or some schooling for the [Catholic] church. Later in the film, it is learned that he somehow inspired new teaching in the church and it ended as a heretical document in the Magisiterium, or a document that was pushed out by high ranking official such as a pope/cardinal. The film laughed at how it was heretical and the boy ended up promoting heretical thoughts, even when he thought he was doing good.

European Film

I don’t remember too much. I’m pretty sure it’s French. It’s about a young girl who has the mind of a child or something. She asks very likingly towards this man. I think she is kidnapped and then the man saves her. And I remember another scene where she is hiding under her bed and wouldn’t come out until the man arrived.
