General questions about movies, TV and more

I am looking for the name of a movie that may have been around the 80's or 90's. I don't remember exactly what happens, I think a boy is constantly being bullied by older kids. However, in one scene a boy is riding down the street on his bike and a guy throws a trash can at him knocking him over. Toward the end of the movie one boy has a gun and the other boy is worried for him, and all of a sudden the two boys start wrestling for the gun, and one kid is accidentally shot and rushed to the hospital.

I was wondering about a movie, in the 80's or 90's and the most I can remember is, in one of the scenes, a girl puts a lampshade on her head and it transforms her into this beauty with an amazing outfit. Possible a version of Cinderella but not sure.

Hi, need help identifying this long lost film. Saw this movie about 35/40 years ago. It's in b/w and was probably made in the 1950's or 60's, or possibly earlier. It's about a group of school children and they're putting on a school play (possibly a religious play like Jesus and the Manger or something like that) and during the course of this one of the little girls in the class becomes very sick and ends up dying near the end of the film, and it affects one of her classmates (a young boy) who was kind of in love with her.

I watched a movie when was a child(80s maybe 90s) and cannot remember what it is. It is black and white and the plot is as follows. A guy, maybe a gangster, gets paid off with a briefcase but it contains a bomb. He is nearly killed but nursed back to health by, I believe, nun nurses. He comes back and gives a briefcase to the guys who tried to kill him. They think he put a bomb in it but he put guns in it and kills them.

I am looking for the title of a movie about a group of about six 20-ish year old friends who become stuck in a Cessna that they are unable to land after a pin (or something like that) becomes dislodged and gets stuck on another part, preventing that from moving so the plane can descend. They end up having to toss as much as they can out of the plane in an attempt to lessen the amount of weight in the plane to conserve fuel. The film starts with a somewhat flashback to when the female pilot was a child and the Cessna she was in (I think) with her parents and it has a mid-air collision with another plane. I believe this film is a Canadian-made film made in about 2009.

Desperately looking for the name of a film I saw a bit of in the early to mid 90s on either HBO or Cinemax. A brunette woman is laying on the bed. A man is standing at the end of the bed, and says, "Paul would kill you if he knew you were here." She says, "Well then, you better be worth it." He throws a pile of money on the bed, and they proceed to have sex. While they do that, the film cuts back and forth to a man on a phone talking to someone. He says, "Senator, I've got the documents, the deal's going down at (so and so time)." Eventually, some other guy comes up from behind him and strangles him. It keeps going back and forth between these scenes, and as the man is closer and closer to death, the sex scene intensifies.

What is the movie where there is a boy who moves to a new town and has to attend a new school. He likes to skateboard and has a half pipe at his house. He either gets or finds a dog and falls in love with him. In the end of the movie, the boy is taken with current in a river and the dog saves him. The dog ends up being taken over the waterfall and they think the dog is gone for good, but the dog shows up waiting for the boy outside his school days later? Time frame for this movie is 1995 to 2005.

I am trying to remember a movie where a poor boy marries a rich girl, gets into her father's business and then becomes unhappy and murders her. He might have tried to hire a hit man and it went badly so he kills her himself. He almost gets away with it but is caught by making some stupid mistake.

I remember a TV movie from the 1980s (perhaps early 1990s) whereby a sister and brother (I think) come across a medallion. They somehow realize that the medallion belongs to a king (everybody seems to be puppets, like the Muppets but NOT the Muppets, except for the sister and brother). The movie involves them trying to bring the medallion to its rightful owner, however, there are bad guys who want the medallion themselves. I cannot remember much else besides the fact that the sister and brother (who fought a lot at the beginning of the movie), become closer and better siblings by working together in returning the medallion to its rightful owner.

I need help to find the title of a TV movie I watched on Australian TV about 10 years ago, I guess it was made in the 90's. It had Bryan Brown I think in a minor supporting role and was set in New Zealand. It is about a man with a biplane and a 12-ish year old son who eventually steals the plane (for attention) and crashes it on a beach. There is a female love interest for the father and some school scenes where the son is always in trouble.

I'm trying to find the name of a movie that I saw on HBO in either 1992 or 1993. These military type people were in a jungle try to capture a creature that was eventually killing the group off. I have no idea who was in it or what the creatures looked like. I think they might have been invisible?

I am looking for the title of a movie that I think was an NBC "Movie of the Week" sometime between 1989 and 1990. I think it starred Meredith Baxter Birney who worked as a nurse. Her daughter had been raped. The mother becomes obsessed with bringing this rapist to justice. The police had no clues. The mother hangs out on the same street corner of the same bus stop where her daughter was abducted and raped for a year with her husband in a car nearby. The same guy who tried to rape her daughter tried to rape the mother. She was able to fight him off and get the police involved. Then a bunch of other women came forward saying he had done the same thing. It was based on a true story. I want this movie on a DVD. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

I'm asking about a movie I saw when I was very small - this would have been in the late 60s or very early 70s (no later). I remember a man getting shoved in front of what was either a subway car or a regular train engine, and he gets run over. You can see his legs under the wheels. If I'm not mistaken, there's a scene afterward where a photographer had taken a picture just before the event, and you can see someone's hands shoving the man onto the tracks, so the authorities knew he'd been murdered and hadn't simply fallen by accident. Unfortunately, these few details are all I can remember. I'd love to know the name of this movie and see it again, as an adult, and be able to understand what was happening and process the "scary feelings" I had from watching it back then.

I saw this African American film some years ago when I was young on Starz. I think the setting is in Brooklyn or New York and I remember the father worked at a gas station pumping. He was angry at the son for some reason, can't remember. The dad dies later on in the film. I believe he had on suspenders and a white shirt. It's a late 80's early 90's movie, I think.

There's an animated movie with a girl turning into a bird. There are two scenes I remember from this movie. One is the girl being chased by a cook in a kitchen and the other is when she is with a boy in a swamp. Not sure if she has a blond or red hair. The last time I watched the movie on TV in 2006. I assume it was made a few years before 2006. It isn't The Swan Princess. Any ideas?

I have been looking for the title of a very old black & white movie I saw back in the 60s. In the movie, a child is playing around a tall plant and then the plant eats the child. I think it was set in Africa. I was really horrified and have always wanted to see it again.

I stumbled on this site when I was just about to give up. I am really hoping someone here can help. My sister and I are trying to remember the name of a movie we watched in the mid-to-late 90s. All we can remember is a young girl with an egg carton collecting pretty magical orbs. We think she lived on an island, over a temple and that her parents were scientists. She also may have rescued an eagle or hawk from poachers at some point during the movie. Please please help us.

This is for the Bond films as a whole. Bit of a stupid question, but in Licence to Kill, Della tries to give Bond her garter and he refuses because he doesn't want to marry again. And then Felix explains that Bond was married before a long time ago. My question is, in all the films, we see him getting off with various women, and since he was married a long time ago, shouldn't he have moved on by now? Or was Tracey the only woman he wanted to marry?

I am looking for the title of a movie. I do not know around when it was made, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't foreign. I remember there being a (possibly albino?) teenager that had some sort of power; able to bend/move things with his mind, etc. I remember that he was very angry, didn't enjoy being different, possibly violent towards other teens. Anyone know what this is?

There is a movie from the late 80s or early 90s. All I remember from it is that there was a father and daughter, the daughter got a part on a TV show and she had to cry and say the line, "I love the African Americans." She was supposed to hug the lady in front of her, but she ran off set to hug her dad instead. That's all I've got. I remember seeing an interview with the female director (casting director maybe?) of the movie who said that when the little girl came in to audition, she cried but had just gotten new glasses, so instead of rubbing her eyes to wipe away the tears, she rubbed her glasses.
