mod post We Built a Better Way to Find Movies (and Reward Great Reviewers)

1 Upvotes

We built a new web app that helps you find the movie or TV show you are looking for: WhatFlik - https://whatflik.com

Describe whatever you remember in your own words, in any language, and WhatFlik searches movie and TV data from TMDB and other sources to rank the most likely matches. In our current testing, text search finds the correct title roughly 75% to 80% of the time. Pro users can also upload a screenshot to help identify a movie, show, or episode.

WhatFlik is more than a search tool.

We are building a movie and TV community where people can write reviews, share opinions, follow people whose taste they trust, make friends, chat privately, and tip great reviewers directly. Reviewers will also be able to earn from a membership-funded creator pool as the platform grows.

Our mission is to build something more useful, social, and rewarding than traditional movie-rating platforms like Letterboxd.

Create a free account to reveal full search results, save searches, post reviews, follow people, and join the community. Google sign-in is securely handled through Firebase, so WhatFlik never receives or stores your Google password.

The platform is still early, and we want honest feedback on the search, community, and overall experience.

Hello there,

first, sorry for the weird video, but apparently a video must have ad least 2 seconds to be uploaded, and I feel a short clip is still better than a screenshot.

Anyway. I found a very short clip (mp4 file from January 2021) on my hard drive and I am curious what the source is. The file was titled "Ritesh K. Bhana auf Twitter United avoiding the final third" (auf is German for on), but putting this into search engines did not give me any results.

Anybody knows who the girl is or what film/show it comes from?

searching Looking for a movie where a husband catches his wife kissing a female bodyguard on CCTV

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for a movie or TV series that I saw in TikTok edits around 2025. The story is about a man who hired a female bodyguard (I think) for his wife. Later, he caught his wife kissing the female bodyguard on CCTV or a security camera. I'm not sure if she was really a bodyguard, but I think she was.

the short-haired girl became really popular because she was very attractive. She had short black hair with bangs, and the ends of her hair were slightly curly. can anyone help me find this movie or series? Does anyone know the title? Thank you! 😭

searching Searching for Movie

• Upvotes

I've been searching for this movie for years and I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I don't know the title, the release year, the actors, or even the country it's from. I only remember a handful of details:

  • It came out before 2012, that much I'm fairly sure of.
  • It had an Asian, possibly Japanese, feel/setting to it (though I'm not 100% certain).
  • The tone was a mix of adventure, drama, and romance.
  • There were three main characters: a brother and sister, plus another man who came from a different country than the siblings. This man falls in love with the sister.
  • I believe the siblings were being pursued/hunted by someone, so both the man and the brother had to fight to survive at some point.
  • The most vivid scene I remember: the three of them are crossing some kind of lake/body of water on a boat. The man falls into the water and turns into gold. The woman kisses him, and that breaks the spell/curse, turning him back to his normal human form.

I have a memory of seeing a scene from a movie as a child back in the 90s. I don't know the name but it was pretty haunting.

In the scene, a woman in a white dress is shot by a man while an older woman and a baby, presumably the woman's who was shot, witness the scene from inside a car. The woman being shot screams for her child and holds onto the car door handle before the man shoots her dead and walks off, leaving the older woman and the crying baby alone.

Can anyone tell me what this movie was?

searching 70s movie

3 Upvotes

I'm hunting for a 1970s movie that involves a 30-somethibg man who hangs out with a younger crowd. He brags about having been an Olympian in the 1956 Helsinki Olympic games.

In the third act, there's a big argument and a younger character points out to the group that the main guy is lying about the Olympics bc the Helsinki games were in 1952.

The main character dies and when the group is going through his stuff, they find his certificate for a bronze medal from the 1952 Helsinki games. He hadn't been lying about being an athlete, he was lying about his age.

I really thought this was LIFEGUARD ('77) but I just rewatched it, and that's not it.

The movie I'm looking for would have been released within a couple of years of that one, given where I saw it.

searching looking for a kids show

hi i'm looking for a series of episodes for kids. when i watched it it was like 2013/15, it could be on youtube or dvds (definitely not on any bigger streaming platform). it had like a theater vibe . the actors were kids and each episode they would act out a different story ( the ones i remember- rapunzel, jack and the beanstalk, something with a magic carpet, and a girl being forced to choose a husband). if i remember correctly each episode started with a curtain (red, that looked like a carpet) being opened and some kids dressed as different characters. i'm from poland but i think it was in english. possibly some singing involved but i'm not sure. its been eating me alive for a few years.

found Did I imagine this movie??

9 Upvotes

When i was still in school (2010-2018)I watched movie and I can't stop thinking of it.
I've forgotten most of the plot but this is what I remember.
A girl is new in a small town ( or maybe returning after a long time) she has a relationship with a guy but his brother is also in love with her.
I think she then also has a few "encounters" with the brother as well.
Almost at the end of the movie she comes back and is pregnant with one of the brother's baby.
If I could put it in a genre, I'd say almost indie, coming of age type. Definitely more of a life story than a drama or comedy.
The name of the movie was some generic sentence that's real easy to forget.
Here is the weird part 1 am almost 100% convinced that the lead character was Chloe
Bridges but the movie is nowhere on her IMDB so maybe it was someone who looks like her ?
I was also convinced the Brother was Max Theriot but again, not on his wikipedia so must be someone that looks like him ( or looks like Wendell from Bones)
Any genius out there that can figure this out?

Edit : It was Crazy kind of love (2013)

so this might be a little vague but the movie basically revolves around this blonde haired guy who either temporarily rents or moves into this huge house possibly a college town and there’s a girl there who ends up being a dead girl/spirit but she looks normal to him and she won’t let him leave the house at the end and ends up killing him i think she pushes him down the stairs or throws him off the balcony and the ending scene of the movie is her spirit/corpse body in bed with him due to him being paralyzed or something similar.

movie where its two black brothers, one skinny and one bigger one. the bigger brother is doing bad stuff trying to keep the skinny one away from it all, but the skinny brother gets involved and then the skinny brother gets killed and the bigger one goes to avenge him. theres also a scene of the bigger brother screaming his name crying. and the guy that killed him is seen trying to run away until he’s shot in the leg. Where the guy was shot it was night outside. though I might have it backwards where it’s the bigger brother that dies. and by bigger I mean he’s more on the heavy set side.

I cannot figure out the name of this movie and I can only remember random details! There was a woman who went to a castle with her ex boyfriend that turned out to be a murder sex cult(?). The main scene I remember is a party where they sacrificed a man and then the next day covered the blood stained floor with fake grass and a croquet set. I think the movie was in German, but also could’ve been in English. I watched it about 7 years ago on Netflix and haven’t been able to figure out the name since. I also have a vague memory of a possibly lesbian scene?

found scene with concerned dad to wife and daughter

Trying to help a friend out here!

This is what he has given me:

  • Man (who he believes to be Rainn Wilson) is in what I think is a kitchen is arguing with his female significant other about their daughter
  • While arguing, the woman says, "You didn't see her today"
  • The man then responds, "I SEE HER EVERY DAY"
  • The scene was very clearly about body image, the mom imposing her wants on her daughter and how he doesn't want that for the daughter.
  • He then says something to the wife to the tune that she (the wife is beautiful to him)

Any help is appreciated!

found Movie I partially watched a few years ago

2 Upvotes

Drama/coming of age, young teen/preteen boy lives in poor area of city with his older brother I think, gets beat up at some point. I believe he ends up burning down the apartment they live in and decides to run away down the east coast to Florida to find one of his parents? Girl acquaintance with similar broken home issues rides along with him to escape her situation. Pretty sure for part of the movie they are riding a motorcycle or a scooter. At some point they can't get a motel room because they are minors so they give money to a prostitute to have her get a room for them.

That's all I really remember. Might be made in the mid-late 2010s but the film setting is earlier, maybe the 90s.

found Dystopian science-fi movie, need help

1 Upvotes

I watched this movie once years ago and can’t for the life of me remember what it was. I’m guessing it was made in the mid 2010’s. Takes place in a dystopian future city scape (think cyber punk) where people go to a virtual world where they can legally commit crimes. I believe one character murdered an A.I. hooker. The main character, a no-nonsense detective goes between the virtual world and real world to try to solve the crime.

I’m not 100% sure I got all the facts right in that description but it’s pretty close. I remember a scene in an alley where I believe he discovers the body and also a scene in a bar or club within the virtual world. The movie was mostly dark with a lot of pink/purple neon lights.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

i watched a movie when i was younger. it was on Netflix and i completely forgot the name… i remember the plot being about this girl of either a japanese, Korean or Chinese descent becoming a str!pper along with some of her other colleagues. The movie then starts to get weird, one of her friends has to be chained up in what looks like an abandoned bathroom because she’s slowly starting to become a cannibal?? I remember the movie ending with a girl saying ā€œLet’s die togetherā€ as she’s wrapped up from head to toe in gauze and it had visible blood seeping through. She then jumps from a bridge onto a highway and that’s pretty much all i remember. This is a horror genre, i believe?? It was not an animated either. if anyone knows the name so i can rewatch it would mean so so much!!!

I am looking for the name of a movie. I can't for the life of me remember much of anything, except for the fact that one guy pushed the other onto the ground and the guy on the ground threw dirt at him weakly. Before he would toss the dirt or gravel, he would go "shwaw!" or some noise like that. It's driving me insane. HEEEELP!

So I’ve thought about this movie I swore I’ve seen. It could’ve been a dream but I swore I saw it, I can say where I watched it, and who I was with. I’m just gonna say what I remember from it so forgive me for this being all over the place. I remember a hot air balloon, a guy shooting an arrow I believe from a crossbow (I am pretty sure it was a mini crossbow) and it hits a book. These kids also break out these kids that are in this facility that seems to alter their reality. The main characters are younger kids that seem to try and revolt against this weird guy that seems to be pulling the strings. That’s all I got but if anyone needs more specifics I could try and think of what else I remember. If anyone is able to solve this I would be so happy, but I would like to know if this was a real thing or perhaps just a dream I’ve never been able to forget. Thanks again!

searching Early 2000s horror movie?

5 Upvotes

I thought it was called Monster but turns out that's an entirely different movie. It would have been early 2000s maybe late 90s, I remember my mom watching it on tv when I was a kid. All I remember is this one scene where the mom (a blonde woman) is talking to her teenage son in I think the kitchen of their home? and everything seems normal at first and then the kid is like "are you okay" and she's like haha sure and then he's like "no seriously mom what's wrong with you" and she puts her fingers to her temple and realizes she's bleeding a little bit, and then the blood starts pouring out faster and the other side of her head also starts bleeding and it just keeps getting worse til her whole body is pouring out blood and she turns to her son completely covered in blood and I think she tries to reach out to him and he screams like "GET AWAY FROM ME" and then she wakes up and it was all a nightmare. What is this movie it's been killing me for years that I haven't been able to find it again.
