| What is the movie that starts off with a man getting paged at a concert and when he uses a phone to call the person who paged him, the person who paged him shoots him? I think it was an old man and may have been a violin concert. I also think in was in another country other than the United States, but I'm not positive. | Answer |
| I remember seeing a film when I was younger. It featured a group of children as the lead characters, and the main antagonist was an evil, magical ventriloquist dummy that resided in an eerie house. I seem to recall the lead character having a robotic toy that came to life as well, and I know that one of the characters was fixated on Darth Vader, and actually saw a vision or a re-creation of him near the end of the movie. (He says something about seeing his "hero" afterwards.) I think it was an 80's or early 90's release. Anybody have any ideas what this was? | Answer |
| What is the Christmas movie that had a group of elderly from a rest home finding a homeless pregnant woman in the city and adopting her? The implication is that this parallels the nativity. | Answer |
| I think this film is from some time in the 90s. It is about a teacher that falls in love with her student, then her student kills her husband, but she didn't want him to. I think I remember the student showing up to the funeral and staying back. Does anyone know the name of the movie I am talking about? | Answer |
| This is about a show called "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" And I want to know if anyone knows the episode in which a guy is hustled out of (as I remember it) a bar. The person throwing him out tossed a coin and said "Tails I win, heads you lose". Does anyone know the name of the episode? | Answer |

| I am looking for a film made I would say either in the 1930s or the 1940s. A wealthy man courts a girl and then marries her. Sometime afterwards he loses his wealth. He is reduced to wearing old clothes and living a life he is not used to. At one stage he even asks the girl (who is now in some show) for money. Does anyone remember this film and its title? | Answer |
| There was a 60's or 70's Saturday morning cartoon series about a superhero that was made of weed or grass or something similar. It wasn't controversial because no one caught on to its obvious drug-overtones. The superhero was like "Captain Planet", but it was not "Captain Planet". A clip was featured in a compilation documentary of controversial or banned cartoons narrated by (I think) Bob Barker. I might have seen it on YouTube. | Answer |
| Probably early 80's movie that may have starred Kenny Rogers (but not sure). I saw this movie when I was younger but don't remember much about it. There was a boy at a lake that had some fog and an island in the middle of the lake and on the island there were toys (?) that were actually alive. This was not an animation or anything, just a regular movie. Trying to find out what the name was. | Answer |
| I am looking for a title of a movie I saw as a teenager some 30 years or more ago. All I can remember is the ending where a character is writing a letter and she dies whilst writing. This image has haunted me for 4 decades and for the life of me I have searched and asked but nothing. From what I can recall (which is scant) is that she was writing her memoirs or a letter recounting her life and love. What was the title? | Answer |
| I only remember one scene from this movie, which I saw in a theater in the late fifties/early sixties. Two cowboys are in a cabin surrounded by bad guys. The older cowboy realizes they are doomed so he digs a trench in the dirt floor and tells the younger cowboy to lie in the trench. He puts a piece of stovepipe in the trench and extends it beyond the foundation so his friend can breathe and then covers him up. The bad guys then torch the cabin and the old guy dies shooting. Since the bad guys thought there was only one man in the cabin they ride away. After the cabin is reduced to smoke the younger man stands up, covered in ashes, and I believe the rest of the movie concerns his attempt to avenge his friend. What is the name of the movie? | Answer |
| I'm trying to track down the name of a movie I remember watching as a child in the 1960s. It was a black and white film that centred around a conundrum, which was a strange name that would lead to the solving of a puzzle (a murder perhaps, I can't quite recall) - thinking about it this predates 'The Usual Suspects' by 50 years. The revelation of the film comes when one of the characters sits by a quayside and notices the name of a small fishing boat in the reflection of the water. This is, indeed, the word that provides the answer to the conundrum. Does anyone have any recollection of this movie? If so, please let me know. | Answer |
| I'm looking for the title of a short lived 80's series. It was a fantasy setting and was basically a dumb jock and a valley girl as a warrior and princess. It was, I think, deliberately cheesy. The only real thing I remember was an episode where the hero and girl spent a day at a haunted castle. The jock/warrior gets spooked and attacks a chair with his sword and then spirits that impersonate the main characters start showing up to frighten them and they have to escape. | Answer |
| There are some reality shows, like Trading Spouses, where people win/are given money, but are told to use it for certain things (for example, each family on Trading Spouses has to use the money as instructed by the visiting mother from the other family). Do the shows' creators do anything to make sure that people use the money the way they are told to? | Answer |
| Other than "Duma" (2005), does anyone know if there is another movie about a cheetah named Duma? I saw a movie several years ago, and the only scene I vaguely remember is one guy looking, around sunset, calling out Duma's name to try to get her to come back. I think she had wandered off from the group or the camp. | Answer |
| Does anyone know the name of this black and white movie? A cowboy has himself thrown in jail to help a young man (his son?) escape. The man doesn't want to escape, so the cowboy breaks out and rides off to Canada until the heat dies down. It was a light-hearted movie with a depressing ending: just when he crosses the border, his horse is hit by a car. The police shoot his maimed horse and the film ends with the cowboy being loaded into an ambulance. | Answer |
| I saw a movie many years ago, a cheap 80's movie I believe. It involved two cops undercover in some sort of death match fighting scheme. One cop had a ponytail and was a martial artsy character, the other cop was more of a "bar fighter". The end of the movie has the martial arts cop getting his head cut off by the death match champion and the other cop beating the champion later on. This is not Kickboxer, and neither of the two cops are any famous or semi-famous actors that I know of. Please help me figure out what movie this is, it's very frustrating. Thank you. | Answer |
