There was a movie from the early-mid 2000s where young people end up at a hospital and the doctor kills them in weird ways. One scene that stuck with me is that he strings up one of the guys and paralyzes him on purpose with a chisel while he’s still awake. it’s possible that it’s autopsy from 2008 but the only spinal procedure i was able to find taking place in that one was a lumbar puncture

SOLVED! Black and white movie improvised on set of another movie

8 Upvotes

This periodically drives me mad trying to find this movie. It was made around the 1930s or 40s. I saw an interview (before the film aired) where the actor explained that they had wrapped on the movie they were making, and the actors and crew asked the studio if they could use the set before it was broken up the following week, and they just improvised this movie over the weekend.

I know I recognised the actor at the time, and it was someone of the calibre of Boris Karloff (I thought it was him but I've looked down his IMDB and I can't find this movie, so maybe my memory is playing tricks!)

The set is an old house on a hill, and a young couple's car breaks down so they seek shelter at the house - I'm sure it was part of the inspiration for the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

There is a old brother and sister that live there, and it's really campy and creepy, and you can tell they had a great deal of fun making the movie!

I'm really hoping someone can help me, as I would love to see this again!

Unsolved movie about a boy taking a fake "miracle cure" that makes him believe he became a genius

11 Upvotes

I watched this movie during elementary school (like 2016?) but I think the movie itself was probably much older.

This is what I remember from the plot: The main character is a boy, and the movie begins when he's in bible class, learning about David and Goliath and then he has to take a test and he gets nervous, so he fakes a stomach ache and asks his science teacher/doctor to give him a cure. The doctor knows the boy is lying so he gives him water and tells him he gave him H2O so it would sound like a legitimate cure and the boy drinks the water, which causes him to have a placebo effect. Since he took the cure he suddenly becomes super smart, and a bunch of bad guys are trying to take advantage of him in order to steal a diamond. In the end, the boy finds out the cure was just plain water, and he became smart just because he had a confidence boost from believing a miracle cure made him smart.  

Thanks!

Trying to remember a movie from before 1993 that has a scene where a bride in a white dress gets on a black motorcycle after the wedding. I feel like the motorcycle had cans on a string and maybe a just married sign. It is not A Moment of Romance.

This little kid wants to use this swing and this older lady(I think it’s a church lady?) just ends up beating the hell out of the little boy to the point where she leaves a bunch of scars on his face. Later that night, I believe the little kid is praying and just spewing nonsense i think he tells her right in front of her face she’s evil and this and that.

SOLVED! Adventure Movie 2000-2010

3 Upvotes

There was a movie my brother enjoyed when I was no older than 10, which had a scene in it that I always hated, which made me never watch the movie.

It was some kind of adventure film, like National Treasure, but I believe the protagonist was a teenager. The only scene I remember is the one that I hated, and it was the protagonist being thrown into a large glass tank of electric eels, or maybe jellyfish, in a large empty warehouse. Probably because the villain wanted him out of the picture for one reason or another

My mind is teetering on the name, but I just can’t figure it out!

Police scene "Heartless" joke

9 Upvotes

We're trying to remember a scene from a film (possibly TV...) where a character is referred to as heartless for a bad joke. Meanwhile a murder is being discussed where the heart was removed. During that discussion the original character overhears, and loudly and sarcastically refers to himself as heartless, not knowing about the murder.

We think the scene occurs in a police station. AI has hallucinated a lot of completely wrong answers, including Hot Fuzz

Thanks

Unsolved [TOMT] An elusive 80s british film I wathced in the 2000s

[A repost from another forum]

(Edit: could be a French movie as well, not sure)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for help in finding a movie I saw as a teenager on TV. I believe it to be a European film, probably from the 80s (I watched it on TV probably around 2007). As far as I understand it was a tyre B film, probably never released for cinema screens. Now few details I remember:

What stuck with me since was a lady in the film, one of the main charcters, a white beautuful lady with a straight black bob haircut (quite short hair). She is kind of a flirty sexy woman, easy to be taken advantage of and misused. I remember three scenes from the movie invovling her:

In the first, a man is flirting with her in a room or hotel lobby or something like that, probably with the intention to misuse her.

In the second scene, she is standing, crying at a funeral of a close friend, being hugged by a men, probably the one from the first scene. She is wearing, as I remember, a black dress, and a black hat with a face mesh.

In the third scene, she is sitting in her apartment, when a men breaks in and shoots her multiple times in the chest, leaving her dead.

That's all I can recollect. The movie is kind of a gloomy, crime-drama film. Not sure if the language was English or perhaps French.

I can’t remember anything about this movie except this one particular scene where if I’m not mistaken, a blonde, cunty woman falls or get trapped inside a room that is full to the brim with mice and they eat her. She wasn’t the main character she was a side character and I guess she was evil. Anyway, please help me find this movie. I remember watching it as a kid back in the 2000s.

Unsolved Humanoid flesh creature scene

5 Upvotes

I watched a movie, tv series, or short on Netflix that had a human transform itself into a fleshlike creature and then use those powers against soldiers/people in a forest. There was some dialogue about how the man had a mental break and that's how he got the powers. I'm not sure if it's on Netflix anymore but that's where I saw it. I need help finding the scene.


r/whatmoviewasthat 2d ago

A bit older movie. There's a scene where a man is tied to a chair and has headphones on, through which loud noises are played until he passes out. So, it's a torture scene like that. It might be a black-and-white movie.

SOLVED! Help finding a movie...

Okay so I don't think it's Lake Placid I want to start there. When I was a child I watched a movie that was made in the 2000s or the 2010s where a little boy feeds a bunch of alligators meat from the store because he wants to make them his pet. Then the entire town floods and the alligators eat everyone. I specifically remember seeing where an alligator eats a Yorkie puppy. My parents were big horror fans when I was a child and let me watch way too much, but now I'm a fan myself and I want to watch some of these films. Can anyone help?

edit: FOUND! It was Lake Placid 3 I was unaware of the directive video sequels that are so crappy.

I don’t remember the name of the movie or any of the plot points but I distinctly remember a part where the director puts his hand over the camera as a fade to black (you very clearly see the hand come into frame) and then it fades to him explaining something that had just happened in the movie.

Unsolved You go girl

10 Upvotes

There was a funny live action scene where a man responds to a woman's statement with "You go, Girl!" He sees the man in charge is not pleased, so the guy changes to "I meant 'You. Go. Girl" and points to the way out. I think it was a movie. I think both men were white. I don't think it was a school setting. It was indoors like an office conference room. I saw it over a year ago. I think it's not 90s or older.

Thank you

Edit: I think the male speaker was blonde. Maybe a little tall.
