Movie where someone dying soon explains how they cope

I can barely remember the premise, but I remember an ill, elderly, possibly wheelchair confined person explaining to someone else how they deal with the emotions that arise from nearing death. He explains that he starts off angry and upset, but then lets it go. Specifically he says the words "...and I rage" when talking about his anger.

This is unfortunately all I can remember, but I would love to watch that scene again

Movie about a class reunion

The main character is a guy who goes to his class reunion with an other male friend. The movie start with them parking there car outside of the school gymnasium where the party is taking in and walking in reluctantly. The main character is scared of being bullied and seen as a loser. I believe the movie is early to mid 2000s.

The most memorable thing for me is a female character that becomes the love interest for the main character defends him from a Jock bully by beating him up. No one recognizes the female character from school and the audience learns that she had transitioned from a male student right after kissing the main character in the end scene. I believe we find out because she has a tattoo that was also on the missing male student and we see it on a camera pan.

I have been looking for this movie for years, it is very obscure. It is based in the US, or Canada, so not foreign. The main character I always though was Justin Long but I don't see the movie in his IMDB. The movie only takes place at night in the gymnasium or just outside, and on the roof .

Animated Movie about a female cop in japan

I watched this movie around 2014 on netflix, it was a 2D movie and i remember that most of the movie's color pallate was red and black. It is set in japan, but not an anime, and it is about a female cop and her kid. I remember there was a mobster and at one point in the movie he was portrayed as kind of a demon or monster. I don't know the time frame from when it was released, as the details are pretty sparse in my mind.

[TOMT] [MOVIE] Stop Motion Movie I Thought I Saw as a Kid

There’s this movie that I could’ve sworn I saw as a kid, but now I’m thinking I might’ve dreamed it since I’ve never been able to find it 😅. It had this sort of felt-like style, the characters looked sort of fuzzy atleast. The only character that wasn’t stop motion was this woman who was either painted blue or had blue lighting on her skin and wore a dress that was made of stars, basically she was supposed to be the embodiment of the night sky. I feel like I remember a specific part of the movie where the camera pans up to the night sky and we see that her dress makes up the sky, she also doesn’t speak at all or atleast not much. I don’t remember much about the story except that some of the characters were a group of people in a small town, a little boy, his dad, and a news anchor. What I remember about the setting is that it took place in this little community center/city hall/church that some of the people in the town were in, including the little boy and the dad, and they were all watching the news (hence the news anchor). The little boy was the main character and I remember that he is taken up into the sky at one point by the night-sky woman and his dad starts freaking out or smt (that part I’m not entirely sure about). I also remember a part of the film where the news anchor crawls out of the tv and everyone is kinda perplexed by it but just kinda go with it. Also, the art style kinda reminded me of the little prince, especially with the eyes, though this movie has likely been out for over 20 years based on when I watched it as a kid.

I’ve been trying to find this movie for years so if anyone can help I’d appreciate it!!!

[TOMT] [MOVIE] 1970s-90s)

okay yall as a child i LOVED this one movie from my grandma but cant find him anywhere
I watched it around 2010–2015 on a DVD but the movie looked much older (maybe like 1970s–1990s) It was an animated children movie with a really weird/creepy art style, poorly drawn 2D animation. Im pretty sure it is from eastern/central europe and dubbed into German

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

  • middle age countryside
  • main character is a poor flute player
  • he NEVER speaks a single word during the entire movie
  • all the other characters talk tho
  • there is basically ONE song repeating throughout the entire movie
  • three floating characters follow him
    • one angel
    • one devil
    • and the third idk bro

PLOT:
The flute player aka main character is sitting by a pond playing his flute when some swans land and transform into beautiful some beautiful women. Cupid shoots arrows at him and one of the swand and they both fall in love. She and her crew leaves and he tries do find her again. And I dk how but his flute shows him the way

At the end of the movie he has to fly up to a castle in the clouds but can’t fly so he makes a deal with the devil character and trades his soul for wings (he turns into a devil/ entirely black creature with some ugly wings)

when he reaches the castle he finds out that the swan woman has ALSO been searching for him. Idk what happens after but it a happy end I think

Does ANYONE know what this movie is?? HELP

TOMT][MOVIE] Cable TV Movie: Dad takes daughter home after school play, car crash, medium with bunker door, ghost kids in OWL masks. Dubbed Spanish. Saw ∼2003-2007*[2000s]

Hey, TOMT. This one is driving me insane. I saw it once as a kid in Latin America, dubbed in neutral Spanish, on a 24hr movie cable channel like Cinecanal/Golden/Space. My parents had just gotten cable, so it was probably 2003-2007. I watched it during the day and had to leave before it ended to go eat.

*What I remember 100%:*

  1. *Opening scene = Night*: An older daughter has a school theater/play presentation. Her parents are divorced. She BEGS her dad to take her home in his car because she barely sees him.

  2. *The crash*: They crash. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt and flies through the windshield. Dad finds her alive on the road, but she dies moments later. He blames himself completely.

  3. *The medium*: Dad, destroyed by guilt, goes to see an old lady medium. She lives in an old house with a *bunker/storm-cellar door in the backyard/patio*. Dad looks through that door and sees something horrifying.

  4. *The ghost kids*: There are children haunting the woods/around the house wearing *OWL masks*. White/cream masks, huge round black eyes, beak. Super creepy.

  5. *Other details*: It's not _The Dark_ (2005). The masks were definitely owls, not sheep. It was low-budget, made-for-TV quality. Dubbed in neutral Spanish.

*Why it's so hard to find*: It was a TV Movie, probably from Lifetime/Chiller/Syfy, filmed in Canada. Never released on DVD. The kind they aired 3 times at 2pm and then vanished.

Please tell me someone else saw _"The Owl, the Bunker and the Windshield"_ movie. I need to know I'm not crazy.

Trying to find a movie/TV show — upscale nightclub, locked inside overnight, people dying one by one (post-2000)

Hey, I’ve been trying to identify a movie or TV series I watched (released sometime after 2000), but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’ve already asked a few AI tools, but they keep giving me incorrect titles, so I’m hoping real people might recognize it.

I also attached some images that represent the kind of look and atmosphere I remember from the film.

Here’s what I remember:

  • Genre / tone: Psychological thriller, mystery, suspense
  • Setting: A modern, upscale, luxury nightclub or bar for wealthy/elite guests
  • Interior design: Very sleek and atmospheric, with a mansion-like feel
  • Key feature: A large, elegant staircase in the center connecting two floors
  • Hidden element: There may be a secret/restricted room or hidden chamber inside the venue
  • Main plot setup: A group of friends/guests go there for a night out
  • Inciting incident: They end up accidentally or intentionally locked inside after closing time
  • Main conflict: People begin dying one by one inside the locked location
  • Mystery element: It’s unclear whether it’s
    • a real killer
    • something supernatural
    • a psychological experiment
    • or hallucinations/paranoia
  • Overall vibe: Claustrophobic, paranoid, and increasingly chaotic as the group tries to figure out what’s happening

I’m not 100% sure about every detail here—some parts might be slightly off or something I’m misremembering—so I’m also open to anything that’s just similar in vibe or setup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: I might actually be mixing up details from 2 different movies or shows, so some of the description could be combined or slightly wrong. I’m also not completely sure about the country of origin — it could be from the US, UK, Thailand, Japan, or somewhere else.
Just wanted to add that in case it helps narrow things down. Thanks again for all the suggestions so far!

[TOMT] [MOVIES] [2000s/2010s]

I was rewatching Sicario (2015) last night and the scene of the shootout at the border crossing between the US and Mexico got me thinking about a movie I watched that had a similar scene where traffic was stopped at the border crossing and agents of some kind were searching all the cars everywhere for either a bomb or a person (I can’t remember) but it was a race against time and they were checking every car. Does this ring a bell to anyone? the internet keeps telling me the scene I’m describing is just the scene from Sicario but I know that there’s a similar scene in something else, I need help remembering it. Definitely from either the late 2000s or 2010s, I don’t believe it’s from the 2020s but of course any guess helps. Thanks in advance!

Seen it a million times, never seen the name

What’s the name of the movie where the Irish guy, his kid and his wife have to go on a plane because the world is ending but the kid has diabetes so they don’t let them on? The entire movie is a build up to a sequel I think

Who is this actress?

I’m watching the movie Down about her and another guy stuck in an elevator over the weekend. I can’t remember her name. I’m thinking she was in a popular cop show but I could be wrong.

I’m trying to find the movie on IMDb but no luck. Movie is pretty good.

Family on desert island - 80s/90s?

FOUND - FAMILY FLIGHT

I saw this movie on TV in the early 90s. A family are trapped on a desert island, but it's neither of the Swiss Family Robinson movies.

I just remember a scene where the family's plane (or one they found) won't start because the kids played the radio all night and sapped the battery.

The father then tries to start the plane by spinning the propeller but slices his stomach in the process. This has been bugging me for 30 years so any help appreciated!

What Movie title about a shy high school girl to a jerk.Then her videos was leaked the next day, so she committed suicide. This happened around the first 1/4 of the movie.

I saw this movie/show when I was kid, picture production looks like around 2005-2010 or prolly older not so sure. It is about a super shy high school girl who lost her virginity to a guy who bet with his friends that he can score on her. After it happened, the following day she learned that the video was passed around her school then she committed suicide. Then the victim's brother went after the jerk, and the jerk was explaining to the brother that he loved her and she did not spread the video.

That's basically I only watched, because I have to leave go somewhere else with my parents that day. Please let me know what is the title of the movie.

Slasher film (I think) where victims are turned into cardboard cutouts of themselves.

I have this core memory of staying at my grandparents house as a child. I slept on their couch in the living room. They waited for me to fall asleep before they watched this movie. I remember waking up and watching maybe 5-10 minutes of it before falling asleep again. What I remember seeing was a girl running to a car in a parking lot and finding a victim. Victim having been turned to a cardboard cutout of themself.

I only remember one quote.

A mom is super mean to her son, and at some point in the movie she says “he soiled himself” in an evil voice.

Possibly “now he’s soiled himself” (I can’t remember if she said now or not)

I know it’s not much to go off of but it’s been bugging me and my husband multiple times now lol. Figured I’d reach out here to see if anyone happens to know what movie this is from!

Movie/show about a foster girl

I assume it to be the 80s, but I'm not ruling out other possibilities. It's about this little blonde girl who goes to live with a foster family because her mother is a drug addict. There's this specific scene where she's gifted a porcelain doll that looks like her at a Christmas party. It causes her to have a tantrum and run out of the house. The foster mom finds her crying in the snow, holding the doll. That's all I remember, please and thank you.

Single-Room Ecological Apocalypse Movie

I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw on streaming around late 2024. It was no more than a few years old at the time.

It centers on a vlogger/youtuber (who is the only actor to appear on screen throughout) who receives a communication from a viewer predicting that an ecological disaster within minutes (I think it was in the Carolinas somewhere, and was a tsunami/flooding). The vlogger blows him off as a crank, but then the disaster occurs. The caller then calls to give him an I-told-you-so and predict another tsunami, this one in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle?). This continues, with the disasters reaching farther and farther inland--the vlogger is based in, I believe, Colorado or some high elevation, and so is in one of the last safe places.

Does anyone remember what this was?
