I am looking for a movie about 5 girls who meet on the internet chatting about suicide, and meet at the beach for a weekend. The star of the movie is being molested by her step father who she kills, along with her friends and herself at the end. I saw it a few months ago on Netflix but cannot remember the name. It is a newer movie, probably no older than 2010.
Chosen answer: It's called To Get Her. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1787828/.
A film about an English nanny who brings 4 USA girls over to marry into the British aristocracy. Came from a book.

Answer: Except for the painter part, it describes "Prisoner of Love" Naomi Campbell plays a Supermodel/Party Girl who witnesses a mob hit, The Mob Boss hires a Hit Man to take her out, but falls in love with her. He holds her prisoner, but she doesn't believe she's in real danger.
This movie was black and white so it is an old movie. It's about a group of men whose plane crashed in the desert during a war. Towards the end of the movie they start disappearing, and at the very end you find out that they were all dead and the reason they are disappearing is because there bodies are being recovered. All except 1 person. His body was separated from the others during the crash.
Answer: This is either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_Survivor_ (1970_film) which is similar but not black and white or the twilight zone episode "King Nine Will Not Return". Problem is that neither are exactly what you describe. They are both based on a real life WW2 crash.
This is a TV movie made in the 80's or early 90's. It is about a lady (maybe a lawyer or Dr.) She wants to have a baby so she hires this man to live with her. I think he falls in love with her because he finds her birth control pills and starts giving them to her at night. I cannot remember any more of the movie.
This was a black and white movie and there was a scene where the mother and daughter are being chased by a man and they hide in the garage. Similar to Cape Fear. It was so good!
Chosen answer: Cape Fear WAS a remake of a 1962 black & white film starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. Might it be the original? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055824/).
A film from the late 80s where the opening scene shows mother, brother and sister at the airport after father's death. The brother then becomes possessed in some way and is seen throughout the film sitting in a chair with supernatural powers?
There was a movie I saw sometime in the 1980's. One scene that constantly stuck out in my mind was a guy giving a woman a ride on his bicycle. He kept pedaling making the bike go faster and faster. The woman eventually becomes scared and screams at him to stop. He gets so mad that he brakes very hard causing the woman to fall right off onto the concrete giving her a bloody nose. The man then wants to know what her problem is.
I'm looking for an old TV episode (1950-60) where people on a wagon train keep fighting over food, could be jerky, that they don't realize is poison. The last scene is a greedy old man hungrily eating the jerky.
There was a TV movie (think it aired on CBS in early or mid '90s) about a deranged person storming into his ex wife's office, and shoots her and anyone else who crosses his path. During the movie, the ex manages to fight for survival until police arrive, and ultimately survives. Would really like to know the title of this movie. Any guesses?
Answer: There is a TV movie with that plot starring Richard Thomas and Brooke Shields. He plays a co-worker who is obsessed with Shields to the point of stalking. No one believes her until his boss confronts him and threatens to kill everyone with weapons in his possession. Which he does, even though Shields is injured, she manages to call 911.
I am looking for a movie that was on TV. Took place out in the woods and it was covered in snow. A woman could not have kids and found a little girl out in the snow.

I'm looking for a comedy movie with a girl who was kidnapped by her father's "men" she acted with another guy who hired someone to help him find her. This guy was quite funny, always drunk and was sexually attracted to another girl who kept wearing weird costumes. I think it started when the girl and guy were bathing in the sea and one of them hid the other's clothing. I believe her father was some rich guy.
If I remember correctly, there was a movie with Jay Underwood who portrayed a man stalking a woman. The movie has him saving the life of a little boy, and the woman thanks him by offering him a free breakfast. He eventually starts to stalk her and even takes pictures of her walls so he can put them on his walls. He also believes that the woman is in love with him.
Answer: It's the 1994 film "Stalked." Maryam d'Abo plays the woman he becomes obsessed with.
I'm looking for a movie that begins with a woman who has to give up her two children, a boy and girl. They get taken in by an elderly couple and in the the man doesn't like them, later on in the movie they become responsible, they are fun to be around with, and the dad begins to like them. The last part I remember was that the girl has a really weird dream. The title had something to do with "the war at home" or something like that.
I once saw a movie about a teenage girl named Monica who starts "modelling" but at the end of the movie her agent makes her put on a school-uniform and then take it off in front of the camera while she cries. Does anyone know the name of this movie? I've been searching for it for a very long time.
Answer: It is the 1980 musical film "Fame".
Need help remembering a movie about a plane that crashed, killing the crew and all of the passengers. What parts of the plane that are considered salvageable, are put into new planes. Suddenly, supernatural events begin occurring on the planes that had the parts installed, such as dead crew members appearing out of nowhere and the ghost of a Captain appearing and warning another Captain about a fire that was going to break out. If I remember correctly, Ernest Borgnine was in this movie.
I am trying to find a movie that I saw on TV in 1991 while my family was traveling in the States. I remember an old man finding a baby girl abandoned in a restaurant or a cafe and he takes her in. I seem to remember that the mother later shows up again but then disappears only a short time later. I also remember that the baby becomes very ill - the man takes her to a hospital and ends up leaving her there. I also remember another scene where the baby is in foster care I think - he comes in and takes her away with him after finding her lying in a crib with bars across the top. I think the mother is having some problems raising the baby and is trying to find someone who can either adopt the baby or help her to take care of it. Can anyone help me out? I would really like to know what this movie was called.
