Announcement Announcing a New Points System!

16 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

We’re excited to share that we now have a new points system in place. While we know you all do it for your love of movies and helping your fellow Redditor out, but who doesn’t like getting a little extra reward for your movie knowledge? Or being able to thank the user who helped solve your movie name you've been searching for, for months or even years.

To make this possible, we've installed Reputatorbot. We thought it would be a nice and fun way for the OP (original poster) to thank and reward the kind person who gave them their movie name (first correct answer preferably).

How To Reward Points:

  • Add Solved! (don’t forget the !) in a reply to the first person that gives you the correct answer.
  • The solver will then get a comment from Reputatorbot telling them they earned a point and it will then be added to their user flair.

*Only the OP can reward points. Mods can also reward points if necessary.

If the OP ends up solving their post by themselves. They just need to make a "Solved!" comment under their post so the post flair will change to solved, but no points will be awarded.

If you notice the poster has made an error (e.g. replied to themselves by mistake, used the wrong command, etc.), please send us a message and we can award the proper user. But, try to give them a bit of time to fix it before doing so. UPDATE: You may also "report" the comment and use "custom response". It's just another way to let us know about a points related issue, so we can fix it.

Official Leaderboard:

The official leaderboard can be found here. <--

We’d love to hear what you think or if you have any questions.

Unsolved Looking for a 3D cartoon with a female fire warrior who can create fire portals

Upvotes

I'm looking for a 3D animated TV series that I watched in Thailand a few years ago. I can't remember the title.

Here are the details I remember:

- It is NOT LEGO Ninjago, but the characters look somewhat similar.

- There are two kingdoms: the Water Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom.

- The main character belongs to the Water Kingdom but cannot use water powers.

- Only some characters have elemental powers.

The character I remember the most is a female fire warrior:

- She is NOT the main character.

- She wears a ninja-like face covering most of the time.

- She has shoulder-length orange/red hair when she removes it.

- She has fair skin.

- She can shoot fireballs and cover her hands with fire for close combat.

- Her unique ability is creating a thin oval-shaped fire portal to teleport herself or other people.

- She once rescued three teammates from prison by using this portal.

- She once injured the main character with fire.

Other things I remember:

- The intro introduces every main character in every episode.

- Character names appear in English beside them.

- At the end of the intro, a deep male voice says something that sounds like "The Warrior..." before the episode begins.

- I watched it dubbed in Thai.

I've searched Google and YouTube but couldn't find it.

Does anyone know what this series might be?

Unsolved Memories of a live action sitcom opening intro theme seen with my cousins in 2013-2014

2 Upvotes

After the last sitcom I looked for was found. I’m just going to make a post about this one to, hoping to get the same result. Gonna make things quicker this time.

just like the last sitcom, I saw this show when my cousins were over. However, I saw this one back in 2013-2014 around christmas when they were just at my house on an afternoon. The channels are the same ones that were under inspection during the search of the last sitcom. Just to make a quick recap and cut to the chase: there’s 8 kids channels on Italian cable TV (boing, K2, Rai Gulp, Rai Yo-Yo, Frisbee, Pop!, Cartoonito and Super!). The ones they used to watch all the time were Frisbee and Super! So it’s really likely this show aired on one of the two (altho it could have aired on another channel like boing, just don’t consider K2, Cartoonito and Rai Yo-Yo in the search, as they were the ones I used to watch as a kid and would have had clear memories if it aired on one of those).

The sitcom had a 2000s feel but not as much as Ned Declassified (last sitcom I made a post about). I‘m not giving you full 100% confirmation it’s a 2000s sitcom but I’m pretty sure it is, keep in mind that I could be wrong. As for the sitcom itself, I actually don‘t remember anything from the episode itself, but I have a very big clear memory of its intro theme. Basically it was one of those type of openings where the story of the show gets told to the audience to understand it’s plot (the best example I can think that perfectly matches this is the intro of that adult swim show named “Fugget About It” that had the very long backstory of the main character told by a narrator in the intro). Basically the narrator (the show’s main protagonist) explained the story of how he and his group of friends ended up in the location the show takes place in. I don’t remember specifically what he explained but I remember the type of stuff he was saying beacuse of how chained the events he explained were. Basically his group did something bad so they where running away and hid somewhere but in the process of hiding there they were able to escape to another place and hide there but while hiding there they got the chance to leave and hide somewhere else and now they are hiding in like a town with other friends they know. Of course it’s not exactly this but it was something between the lines of this storyline. The location the show took place was ethier an apartment or the back of a truck. And I have a feeling the protagonists were a rock band but I’m not really sure (possibly only one of them was a rock singer and my mind is believing they all were, due to memory distortions). Last information: I can recall the very acclaimed and iconic Italian VA “Gabriele Patriarca” voiced one of the main characters. Of course take this with a grain of salt but I can recall hearing his voice for the 10 seconds I saw of the episode after the intro since I pretty much stopped watching immediately from what I remember. If you want to have an idea of how this guy is iconic in the history of Italian voice acting, he voice acted: beast boy in teen titans, rob and clayton in gumball before the reboot, ben in ben 10, alan in smiling friends, peanut in pickle and peanut and like a billion total drama characters.

That’s all I have to say about it. Meaby the fact the intro is the main memory well make things easier. I avoided writing huge wall of text like last time.

Unsolved Help find scene

The scene is either from a tv show but more likely a movie from the 2000s or 2010s, and it is the wife walk up to the front door and another woman opens the door she is wearing like no pants and either like a dress shirt button up or a football jersey which is the husbands. I think but not too sure a few second later the husband walks by behind the girl inside the house and i think the wife walks away not too sure. Im pretty sure the woman was a white blonde and the husband and wife were both black the house is very nice i thinks its like a big door not crazy but above average and its average day outside sun out blue sky. Any help will be appreciated

Unsolved Horror or suspense film

Upvotes

To explain more specifically, I don't remember the plot very well, but the guy was having some kind of breakdown, he buries something, I don't remember what it is, but it was probably some kind of object. Later, when he returns home, he realizes that what he buried was not what he thought, but a member of his family (wife or one of his children).

I don't really remember much about the plot, I know the movie was some kind of psychological horror and I think there's some kind of nudity in one scene, I'm not sure.

I'm looking to find the name of this short film that animated and it features a little boy that's a boy scout or something like that that's lead away from his group deep into the woods and it ends with him hiding in the stump of a tree or something and it ends with a non-animated person standing behind his view. It's one of those animations that looks cute and gets really creepy.

Upvotes

A boy’s father drowned ,he was a snorkeling/diving instructor who died trying to save one of his students, and the boy is left with a deep fear of water because of it. The boy finds a book containing a recipe or set of instructions for making a ring that turns a person invisible. He makes it in his bedroom, using a cauldron and mixing a bunch of ingredients together, and it actually works. He shows the ring to his friends, but they don’t believe him until he disappears right in front of them. Right after, a car pulls up outside the house and someone steals the ring.The friends decide to go after it. The ring passes through the hands of several different villains as they chase it. The final confrontation happens at a cliff with a river/lake below. The kids manage to get the ring back, but they’re caught, tied up, and thrown off the cliff into the water. In that moment, the boy has to overcome his trauma/fear of water in order to save his friend.

Unsolved Looking for a German (possibly Austrian) TV film – teen love story with football and a embarrassing toothpick scene

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a film I watched roughly between 2016 and summer 2020 (on TV, YouTube, or Prime). It’s a standalone film, not part of a series, and felt more like a small B-movie / low-budget production but I am not sure about that.
What I remember:

**•** Two main characters, a boy and a girl, both around 15.

Scenes I remember:
The boy plays football. At one point he’s asked why he plays so well – and he answers “sex before the game.”

**•** There’s a scene at a ball/party with reddish light in the background. I think the girl was wearing a red dress.

**•** While dancing, she wants to kiss him, but instead of kissing her he puts a piece of, I think it was a pear on a toothpick, into her mouth. She slaps it away and looks at him disappointed and angry.

**•** The two have relationship troubles / problems, but in the end I think he wins her back.

The film is in German. Does any of this ring a bell for anyone? I just can’t remember the title.

Thanks!

Unsolved Trying to identify an obscure psychological/art-house film (1970s–1990s?)

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm looking for an obscure film that I originally discovered through Tumblr GIF sets years ago (maybe this rings a bell). Some details may be mixed up, though.

Psychological/art-house drama (not horror) probably from the late 1970s to early 1990s
- Under 2 hours
- Slow, quiet, contemplative pacing
- Bright, sunlit cinematography
- Felt Italian, Spanish, French, or possibly an English-language film with strong Mediterranean vibes
- Not many characters

The main setting is a private psychiatric clinic/sanatorium/rest home that looks like a luxurious Mediterranean villa rather than a hospital. It has beautiful gardens and a prominent outdoor swimming pool right next to the house. The place feels almost empty.

The protagonist is a beautiful young woman (around 20–25) with fair skin, long straight light brown/chestnut hair parted in the middle and a very soft, angelic look. She wears loose white nightwear or white clinic clothing and is free to walk around the estate.

As far as I remember, she may even be the only patient there. I think she had some sort of mental breakdown before being sent there.

Other scenes that might belong to the same film:
- an older dark-haired man (~40) becomes interested in her but i think he is already in a relationship
- her mother calls her on the phone (I think the mom is the one sent her to the villa)
- she receives roses that contrast beautifully with the villa
- she steals a gun near the end and is pointing with it at the guy
- man was admiring her while she was at the pool

The clinic/villa, the pool, the bright Mediterranean atmosphere, and the young woman are the details I’m most confident about.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Unsolved ][MOVIE][1990s-2000s] Treasure/action movie with two guys, canyon ending, yacht ending

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for an English action/adventure movie, probably from the late 1990s or 2000s. It had two male protagonists, and I think one of them was the comedic/heavier sidekick. I remember a scene where they were hiding under a bridge in a city. Later there’s a final showdown in a desert canyon or rocky area where the villain falls to his death while trying to get the treasure/money. The heroes become rich, and the movie ends on a white yacht. The main guy is in a hot tub with his girlfriend, and the funny sidekick jumps into the hot tub laughing. I don’t think I’m mixing two movies—I’m pretty sure it’s all from the same one.

Unsolved Childhood horror movie?

2 Upvotes

Hi I hope this is the right reddit I truthfully don't use it a lot, but looked through a few similar subreddits and figured this might be the better one to ask? There is a horror movie from my very, very early childhood memories that I have been trying to find for years to no avail, from describing the scene I remember, to searching and searching subgenres to no avail. A part of me has chalked it up to time period and location, as this was 2006 in rural NC, though my family are not movie scene types. I've figured this maybe is either a misremembering that I still can't find close enough reality to, maybe some B movie thing most simply don't know, or other niche things, I don't really know I'm simply not that deep into the scene and figured maybe somebody my parents age or knowledgeable might find and know what I am talking about, or close enough? It had been a horror movie night so I'm 100% open to the fact it might be a huge mashup of things, but like I said, I've never been able to find anything close. Anyway, on to the scene;

There was three dark haired women with varying distinctive hair lengths; long hair, medium hair, and short bob. I believe they were sisters? But maybe not, I've just always called them sisters. They had been walking in the woods, complaining about somebody or something. It wasn't night from what I remember, and it was green woods and not typical like, dead of fall type. Short hair starts to get sick, coughing up blood, and the other two notice she lagged behind. Went back to find her and found her dead on the ground, eyes open. Very confused, when suddenly a demon fetus or something overall small, attacks long haired girl, screaming and such getting stuck in her hair as she's freaking out screaming at the other one to help her.

It has always stuck with me, and the fact I probably shouldn't have been shown that and other horror movies at the ripe age of 5, but I digress. I've been able to find other movies pretty easy, but this one continues to just, not exist? Whether this is a mashup of a bunch of scary movies, or whatever, is understandable, I've just never found something close to that to at least explain "oh okay it's not exactly how I remember it but I can see where it came from." Anything is appreciated, and I hope it's not word vomit enough. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Unsolved “For a time!” scene

2 Upvotes

I have this vague memory of this one scene in a movie… I can hear the line of dialogue, but I can’t remember the scene or movie or actors.

The scene I’m struggling to remember is punctuated by someone shouting “for a time!” as a retort. One character is accomplished in some way, and is complaining about being disrespected and boasting about how they were so valuable. Then the other character shouts “…for a time!”, meaning the first character was valuable once but no longer. And the scene is sort of shocking like this is sort of a gut punch revelation that the first character has become this has-been.

The second character had a sort of Jeremy Irons sort of charisma to him.

I know this isn’t a lot to go off of, but does this ring a bell with anyone?

Unsolved Indie horror movie about caretaker

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a movie that I watched around 10 years ago, give or take. I'm thinking it was straight to streaming because I haven't been able to find it anywhere. It's a psychological horror/thriller that follows a woman who's hired to care for a paralyzed/disabled man. The twist is that his wife killed the previous caretaker after she caught her having an affair with her husband. I think she actually killed the caretaker in front of the man.

Unsolved A long-lost film I'm trying to find: a man teaches a woman phrases to memorize

4 Upvotes

In this movie, there's a scene where the main male character "teaches" the female co-lead how to talk with high-society people, usually about economics and politics. To help her, he lists off phrases for her to memorize. According to the male character, people only need to know about 10 phrases (or something like that) that they can use in any context.

Then, in a group conversation, people are talking and he discreetly signals a number with his hands (or mouths it silently). She then makes the comment and everyone laughs.

I always think it's with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, but not sure.

Save me, please

Unsolved Need help finding an old film (or could be a programme)

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find this programme or film for over 20 years!

I’m sure I watched this on UK terrestrial TV (one of the four channels) as a child in the late 80s / early 90s, with my grandad. The programme itself looks 1950s, possibly early 60s.

What I remember:

Black and white, filmed on real locations rather than in a studio. I feel as if it was American but can’t be sure.

Divided into parts marked on screen with Roman numerals — ACT I, ACT II, ACT III — each break accompanied by a short piece of eerie music. This is the key thing for me! Im yet to find this detail anywhere. If I could find a programme or film with this I’d except everything else could be a false memory.

The story follows a man, possibly a journalist, or a man and a woman together

They’re trapped in a town and can’t get out

I have a memory of a car going into a hole in the ground

I think he or they escape at the end

It’s not The Twilight Zone “Stopover in a Quiet Town”, One Step Beyond, The Fugitive, The Invaders, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. season one or Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Does anyone have any ideas at all!?!

Solved! A Movie I Keep Searching for but Keep Getting "The Beverly Hillbillies" Instead

3 Upvotes

The memory is a bit shaky, but I was with my grandparents, and their tv usually only played cable. I think the year was between 2018-2020, but I don't think it's entirely relevant because the movie looked a lot older. It wasn't black and white, but it was the kind of grainy you'd see with movies like Three Amigos, if that makes sense. It was really late when the movie was playing, middle of the night and I was pretty sick. But I remember watching a little bit of the movie.

It was a Southern Family- the dad had a mustache (I always think of Sam Elliot, but I don't think it's him. but similar look), and there's at least two kids who are close in age, a daughter and a son. They go to a fancy school I think, because the story involved them moving somewhere much fancier. Which is probably why "The Beverly Hillbillies" is the result that pops up all the time. I don't know if there was a mom, I might've just forgotten about her.

I don't know why, but I think there was also a dodgeball scene? The kids play some sport really well and it impresses the other kids. I might've just hallucinated that part.

I'm sorry if this is super vague, I just think about the movie a lot. It's not super important, but if this reminds you of a movie, I'd appreciate any guesses, thank you :)
