A movie about witches, where their spells rhymed?

I don't know if I'm remembering this right. The main character was a girl, the spells were rhymed (random example, not from the movie because I can't remember: "By star and sky, let darkness fly!"), there was a boy, there were evil witches.

Please, I feel like I’m going crazy!

Okay, so there's two twin sisters who have a special bond, and then there's a man in a suit who by taking off or putting on his glasses can see this approaching evil darkness shadow Demon coming or whatever because its almost their either 16th or 17th birthday, but as the darkness is getting closer the girls start fighting more and more, and by the climax the girls get into a fight, one of them ripped off a necklace that they both have worn since birth, and the other gets kidnapped by whatever shadow demon it is, but during the resolution, they defeat the demon with the power of forgiveness and sisterly love? It was live action, not animated, and they lived in a yellow house.

Please tell me my brain isn’t gaslighting itself… I can swear I remember it, I’m not going crazy, am I?!

Movie about a girl trapped in an eye??

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting something like this so I'm very sorry in advance if my post is not helpful at all, I'm here to search for a film, video, whatever it is that traumatized me when I was like 5 years old.

I would like to give some context of when are where I saw this, it was the early 2010s, perhaps around 2010-2012 or so, I saw it in a theater, not a movie theater, but just like.. A theater where stage plays are performed, and stuff. I didn't watch the whole film, only a snippet of it because I was too young for the movie (I was left in a sort of daycare area), this happened in Spain, if it helps at all.

I remember going to my parents to show them a bookmark I made out of a stick and eva foam (I have physical proof of this so I guarantee you that I'm not just remembering a dream I had) and when I walked in the room there was a video of a girl (possibly animated, a puppet or just shrunk down) inside of a giant eyeball, she was dressed as a princess if I recall correctly and the eye had like.... Bars on it, so the girl was jailed inside of the eyeball, either she or the eye were crying, visibly in distress while creepy music played in the background, I remember it was in black and white, so no color at all I think. Maybe I'm misremembering a couple details but I can FOR SURE say the eyeball with a girl behind bars and the crying were 100% on screen, I literally got so scared of this it gave me a genuine phobia for eyes that I just overcome not that long ago, I've been searching for this basically my entire life and NOTHING has ever come up, I already asked my parents if they remember it, and they say they do know what I'm talking about but that they don't remember the name or what the thing was about, I feel like I'm crazy, please help me find this or at least have anyone say that they know about this too, I'm willing to answer any questions or even illustrate what I saw.

HELP! British Art Film about obsessed woman inlove with man who is her "soulmate" and hates her and they reincarnate in different eras

Okay so this movie sounds like a fever dream, but I distinctly remember it. I believe it was on either HBO or Peacock and it was a movie from either late 2010s or early 2020s (so 2017-2022)

The plot is a blonde woman who falls in love with a man and promises him to find him in every lifetime, possible paranormal elements of her asking a psychic to ensure she meets him in every lifetime.

First era is Victorian where she's a duchess married to an abusive drunken lord and hes like a Robin hood and theyre both executed for her chasing him. Eras keep shifting throughout, one I really remember is the 80s where she's a superfan of him, hes like a dark brooding punk artist and goes to his show where she says she's his soul mate and she loves him and that theyre meant to be. He thinks she's just a fan before realizing she's insane and she ends up killing them both in a double suicide.

I dont remember much else, but she wakes up in the present and goes to therapy until he kills them both and it ends in an apocalypse.

This movie is driving me nuts!!!! Please help. I made a reddit account just for this.

Help me with this movie and 20 years old problem

So when I was a kid, like 8-9, I remember seeing this film on the tv at the time (2007-2008)

Back in the day, there wasn't much of a choice with movies on tv so I watched it ,even tho it was like near the end

I don't remember anything about it, and it was like near the end, plot is all over the place for me as a kid back then, only that it includes money (stealing, searching,hiding) and hotel some sort of, with students running around. I don't remember actors nor actresses, BUT I do remember specifically this one scene

One student faintes in the middle off the hallway in hotel, the other student runs away from someone, sees the girl laying on the floor and gets on top of her, grabs her boob and then gets up and continues running.

That scene is so vivid in my mind, so real, that I remember it to this day

90% it was an american movie, not older then 85 I assume, and comedy forsure

I can't find this thing for nearly 20 years and I would sooo watch it

I know its a long shot, but I was hoping for someone to know this movie, based on that very specific scene

Thank you

Movie about robots

So I remember watching a little part of this movie a long time ago, and it’s about this kid whose name starts with “R”. (Robin or something). I also remember that his future son takes him into the future and he sees this gigantic house in the shape of an “R” and it’s filled with robots.

Sorry if this is too vague!

Help me remember a movie that had a guy who could catch arrows

I watched a movie as a child in the 80s with my father. I remember it being 'bad ass'. There was a bulky maybe shirtless guy with long hair that was like a protector of some other guy. They got into a battle with a group. Arrows or shuriken's were shot/thrown at them. The bulky guy caught two of them saving himself and his friend. They shot again and he was only able to save himself and his friend died. I only remember that scene and it gave me some lifelong fear of relying on someone else lol. Does anyone have any idea what this movie was? It was 80s USA type movie.

Looking for a movie i remember, but can't find

I think it was a b-movie, part of my brain screams it was V/H/S short, or a Syfy channel movie, but i've not found anything that matches.
Premise is a signal is sent in to space, it keeps going, out of the known galaxy and in to deep space.
I remember a good portion being set in a brick building, maybe an old warehouse?
Eventually strange things happen, people get smacked, and aliens/demons can only be seen with light, i think was a specific spectrum of light?
There's a scene where two of the aliens/demons get vaporised by being exposed to too many of the lights at once, and the third one just starts breaking the lights.
Near the end of the movie the cast find they can't turn off the signal.
The aliens/demons eventually say something along the lines of "Hey, we don't want to be here, and things waaay worse then us are comming. We will take the computer with us, and draw them away."

Been trying to find this movie again for at least 6 years, any help would be appreciated!

help me find this movie pls

Live-action movie, watched recently on Netflix or Disney+, likely made after 2000. Comedic tone. One scene: two “heroes” (a Black teen and a white adult) go to a US government building for some kind of legislative/official reason, post-WWII setting. There’s a group of Nazis just hanging around there — not a big deal, almost like a comedic background element — led by a guy with a notable mustache and an accent. They may or may not get beaten by the heroes.

[TV Show] [Animation] [CGI] educational kids show with 4–5 children in a white/blank studio teaching shapes (triangle → square), around 2010s

​

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find a CGI children’s educational show I watched when I was very young (around 2015–2018, but it could be older).

What I remember:

It was a 3D CGI educational show for preschool/young kids

There were around 4 or 5 child characters (I think mostly 2 boys and 2 girls, but I’m not 100% sure)

One of the boys was Black with short black hair

The characters looked like normal human children, just slightly stylized (bigger heads, small bodies maybe)

They were all different from each other, but not fantasy characters — just regular kids

The setting was mostly a completely white or very minimal “infinite” studio/room (no clear walls or corners)

The kids talked to each other like presenters/hosts

Sometimes objects or shapes would appear in the space to demonstrate concepts

It was very educational (basic learning topics like shapes, numbers, etc.)

I specifically remember an episode where they explained that two triangles can be combined to form a square

It might have been a series of short educational segments rather than a traditional cartoon.

I watched it on a laptop, so it could have been on YouTube, a DVD, or an educational website.

Does anyone know what this could be? Any help would be really appreciated.

“It also had a very clean white studio-like background, almost like a floating space.”

I’m starting to think I hallucinated this movie

Edit: I started to remember more as i described it and now im more confident it was definitely a movie. First i don’t even remember if it was a movie but that’s my best guess because i know i consumed it in one sitting (not a show) and I remember watching something not reading anything. Basically there’s these two girls, young, maybe kids maybe younger teens but no older, (I also think they didn’t get along in the beginning) they live on an island with a community, something tragic happens I don’t remember but I remember a lot of chaos and running and screaming and at one point one of the girls finds the other unconscious and blah blah somehow they’re left on the island, I don’t remember what happens after that until the end but basically they work together and become super close until the end when someone or some magical being (I don’t remember what their goal was but they did have a goal outside just survival) reveals the girl who was found unconscious on day one has been dead this whole time and the other girl was imagining her and basically the figment of girl 1 helped girl 2 to survive(like in fall) and she ends up accomplishing the goal (I think it was to get off the island and reunite with the others) and we see the already dead girl waving her off as she leaves the island and it’s bitter sweet. Im also 99% sure it was animated. Like i remember it being a kids movie which is weird bc kids movies rarely deal with death and if they do its not like this it’s like aw grandma is going to the happy place in the sky, not “youve been talking to a corpse of another child this whole time”but i swear it was a kids movie. Sorry for the run on sentence punctuation is hard 😔

Key points i know:
Must have two young girls who live on an island, must reveal at the end one has been dead the whole time.

(Open to the possibility it was an episode of something I saw too but I really remember it being a movie I even remember being a kid and going to see it in theaters with family or a friends (either my aunt or my friend and her mom)

Help

My sister is telling me about this crazy ass movie she watched two years ago and it sounds horrifying but she can’t remember what the name is. Here’s what I know.

It’s probably early 2000’s or late 90’s. Found footage style? (I was told it’s like Creep in the filming)

English movie

Plot is like a bunch of people- all friends- go into the woods looking for this cabin that’s the subject of local legend I guess. They camp along the way and things start to get weird- like witchy things. At one point there’s a bunch of crosses hung in the trees, someone takes one down and destroys it and at the same time one of their friends’ bones get twisted around and she dies.

She thought it was Blair which (it’s not Ik) any help would be very appreciated- thanks!

Hello! Another guy here trying to remember a childhood movie (pre 97)

I had two movies from my childhood that I was trying to recover, and someone on here helped me figure one out a few years ago (Dolph Lundgren in Army of One, and I now have the VHS as a token).. but I'm still looking for one. I've harassed Chat GPT quite a few times trying to find it to no avail. It might just be something really obscure 🤷🏻

Here are the main points that I remember

Pre-1997

Adult woman (probably white) in a remote forest or jungle

She's carrying a film camera, possibly photographing the scenery

She sees a man descending with a parachute

He lands somewhere away from her

They encounter each other (I don't remember if it's right after he lands or later)

He discovers she photographed him (or maybe he saw her photographing her when he was parachuting) and becomes concerned about the camera

He takes and damages the camera or destroys the film.

They have sex in the outdoor setting(I feel like it was right after the camera incident, but I could be wrong)

I wish I could remember more, but that's it I copied the points from chat gpt and filled in more info, so that's why it reads like AI, if it does. Thank you for giving this a read.

Okay I have been looking for this movie for years!

I watched this over ten years ago in Vegas when I was visiting my grandparents. I was about 6 or 7 years old and I’m 22 almost 23 now so I know this is a long shot but… It’s about two kids a boy and a girl. The girl had blonde hair and the boy had dirty blonde hair. They get the youth sucked out of them so it can be transferred to these old shriveled up people. There was definitely an underground tunnel system I saw them walking through before they got to a room. I woke up to it and I still can’t figure it out!!! Any ideas you have are welcome and appreciated!!! I feel like it was a fever dream at this point or I may be going crazy. 😂 I feel like the boys had to wear blue and girls pink (I also have a weird memory of every one being in sync on a street) but I could be mixing it with the something else. It’s been a while!

Horror movie about a monster dog

When I was a child, around the mid 2000s, I watched this live action horror movie about a group of friends going to the woods for camping and getting attacked by a kind of mutant/monster dog. To be more specific, I remember a scene in which the dog was being transported in a vehicle, maybe a truck, and then killing the people holding him and escaping to the woods, where he found the protagonists camping. The movie also had a blonde girl which the main personality trait was doing sex jokes, like rubbing a lolipop between her breasts, and she has a sex scene in one part of the movie. The movie seems like a random teen horror movie from the 2000s, but for some reason its being very difficult to find, if someone could help, I would appreciate. I already tried to search online, and I came across such results as Rotweiller (2004) and The Breed (2006), but neither were the movie I am talking about. I don't know if this will help, but I'm Brazillian and the movie was release dubbed in here, so maybe it can be of help.

Looking for a 2D animated movie involving sea creatures

Hi there, I'm looking for a movie I saw as a child. It was an animated movie (2D, most likely hand-animated). I saw it maybe in 1998-2000, but it might be an older movie (or most likely is older, I saw it on German free TV which did reruns of older material quite often). If I had to guess the age I would say msot likely 60's to late 80's.

I only remember one scene, there were small aquatic creatures (maybe prawns or something similar) that went out on an all out attack, if I remember correctly against much bigger animals (maybe sharks or whales), there's a slim chance that it was humans or a human boat, I'm quite sure they passed a sunken wooden boat at one point. The animals were using something small as kind of a ship o submarine, maybe clams or walnut shells (though clams would make more sense I guess). Before the attack they were "sailing" on the open sea, maybe using tiny sails or oars. I think they also had tiny weapons, but most likely made out of natural materials you would find in the sea.

I think these critters also were in alliance with other animals and it cut between several "battle" scenes, not sure if any humans were involved, but most likely not.

The style and feel of the movie was quite serious, nothing like a Disney movie, more something akin to Ralph Bakshi or watership down.

There's a slim chance that it was an episode of an animated TV show, but based on my memory it was too long and too high quality to be that.

It was definitely more of a western style of animation, not anime or something else from east Asia. If I had to guess I would say American, central or east european/soviet.

Any ideas what that could be? I've had this scene stuck in my memory for ages and just can't find the answer. I tried tip of my tongue a while ago to no avail

Vague memories of a movie,

Good morning cinema sleuths. I need help finding a movie I remember from my childhood. It had a young boy like the kid from never ending story going against some sort of witch or dark queen who was dressed in black with pale skin. At some point or another there’s a scene with some sort of electrical machine that throws a lot of sparks.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this movie was live action and from the 80s or 90s.
