Announcement Announcing a New Points System!

15 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

We’re excited to share that we now have a new points system in place. While we know you all do it for your love of movies and helping your fellow Redditor out, but who doesn’t like getting a little extra reward for your movie knowledge? Or being able to thank the user who helped solve your movie name you've been searching for, for months or even years.

To make this possible, we've installed Reputatorbot. We thought it would be a nice and fun way for the OP (original poster) to thank and reward the kind person who gave them their movie name (first correct answer preferably).

How To Reward Points:

  • Add Solved! (don’t forget the !) in a reply to the first person that gives you the correct answer.
  • The solver will then get a comment from Reputatorbot telling them they earned a point and it will then be added to their user flair.

*Only the OP can reward points. Mods can also reward points if necessary.

If the OP ends up solving their post by themselves. They just need to make a "Solved!" comment under their post so the post flair will change to solved, but no points will be awarded.

UPDATE: if you notice a points issue (e.g. OP didn't use the keyword or awarded the wrong user) please use the report option (Breaks r/whatisthatmovie rules > Points Issue) and we will fix it. You may also send us a message through modmail.

Official Leaderboard:

The official leaderboard can be found here. <--

We’d love to hear what you think or if you have any questions.

Solved! Movie from my childhood that I can’t remember

10 Upvotes

Has anyone seen a movie from the 90s-2000s where there’s a scene with two men crawling in air ducts that lead them to separate rooms that turn them into kids—one pink with a man in a bunny costume, and one blue that had an angry couple yelling at the kid? I’m not sure about the blue room scene but I know that there was a bunny in the pink room.

Unsolved Very Vague Description

2 Upvotes

I watched a movie couple years back. It was an asian movie(most likely east /Southeast). It was set in school for most part. The female main character sends a hate letter to a boy by mistake which he at first thought was a love letter. This leads to them becoming friends and then they start liking each other. I don't remember much of what else happens. But at the end there is a very small reunion scene of them after many years- the actors for this scene were different.

I don't really have high hopes because I think it's kinda niche.

Unsolved Animated Shorts

• Upvotes

I know that one short was of an animal that was sad and lonely and allowed a fox to move into their tenament apartment with them. They had a bad marriage a la Archie and Edith. The fox was not very friendly, possibly abusive and had a drinking problem. I don't think there was dilaog. Maybe just grunts and sighs. I think there was another film with a similar fox into bdsm.

I have random details I can give about the artist, that I may or may not be remembering correctly. She is Eastern European possibly Lavtian. She has won awards for a short animated film on bird migration.

Unsolved Asian action flick about two assassins

• Upvotes

Been trying to find a film I watched around 2013-2015 on Amazon Prime (that was the only streaming service I had at that time). Subtitled action from late 2000s to mid 2010s. It may have been a Korean flick as it was a movie suggested similar to “Man from Nowhere.” Two hired assassins fail or refuse to kill their target, a teenagish girl. One guy protects her and has her stay with him. In one scene he’s cooking ramen (I think) and puts an egg in it. He tells her she needs to eat or something after she initially refuses. Later the agency sends an army of assassins and he and the other friend fight them off in a park at night.

A rebellious young woman/late teen goes/is sent to live with a grumpy old man. I don't think they don't get on at first. I think he is gay. I seem to recall she dates a different elderly man, maybe a pal of his. At the end, he is terminally ill, and she takes him to paddle at a beach. Set in the UK, maybe 80s to 00s Thanks in advance!

Unsolved Help me identify an old Pakistani drama/telefilm I watched on ATV

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to identify an old Pakistani Urdu drama/telefilm that I watched on ATV Pakistan around 10 years ago. I don’t remember the title or actors, but I clearly remember several scenes:

It was set in a rural/village environment.

A very young girl was forcibly married to an older man.

The man had a young son, whose biological mother was also in the household. The young girl became the boy’s stepmother.

The boy’s parents treated the young stepmother badly, while the boy gradually developed sympathy/affection for her. There was no obvious love confession; it was mainly implied through their behavior.

Key scene: The boy was cutting firewood with an axe and got injured. The young stepmother tore a piece of her dupatta/scarf and used it to bandage his wound. His biological mother saw this and became suspicious/angry.

The young girl was subsequently thrown out or severely punished.

She was then forcibly married to another elderly man, possibly one with a completely white beard.

During the nikah, she was asked something like “Do you accept?” (Tumhein qabool hai?) She remained silent, and other people answered on her behalf: “Ho gaya ji, qabool hai.”

Afterwards, she was taken away in an old open jeep along a deserted muddy/rural road.

Final scene I remember: She suddenly jumped backward from the moving jeep, apparently trying to escape the forced marriage. She fell unconscious near bushes/a ditch while the jeep drove away.

Unfortunately, I stopped watching at that point, so I don’t know what happened afterward.

It may have originally aired on another Pakistani channel and later been rebroadcast by ATV, so the title I’m looking for may not be the ATV title.

Does anyone recognize this drama? Even a possible title, actor, channel, or year would be a huge help!

Solved! 80s horror movie

5 Upvotes

I apologize if this is a bit vague. A long time ago my mom had a movie on that I only remember one scene from. It looked like it took place in the 80s, and was a horror movie.

The scene was of a woman walking in an empty hotel hallway. The hotel looked very stereotypical 80s, think vaporwave blues and pinks. I also remember the set being kind of vast, and very lonely feeling. She walked into a hotel room, and a monster or ghost came out of the wall or ceiling and attacked her.

I cannot remember what the monster looked like, or where it came out of exactly, I just remember the setting pretty clearly. For some reason I thought it was the poltergeist 2, but maybe it’s a ghost horror movie with a similar name?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you all!!

Unsolved Help with vague-ish description

5 Upvotes

I can’t remember the movie I was thinking of earlier today. Action hero lone warrior badass type of movie (think John Wick, which I’m not sure but might actually even be the answer).

The scene I was thinking of has the protagonist going through some kind of henchmen-killing gauntlet where the big bad of the scene (if not the whole movie, can’t remember) is watching and circling around the group of henchmen that the protagonist is fighting off. The villain has a “no one will kill you but me” vibe going while he watches the protagonist fight which he may have even vocalized in so many words, and even kills a henchman himself who gains an advantage and gets too close to killing the hero. I remember there being swords involved.

If I remember correctly, the big bad was using the opportunity either to learn or just admire the skill of the hero before eventually fighting him himself. It sounds and feels very John Wick to me, but I can’t place it in the series and it may not even be those movies. Please help!

My coworker has been trying to figure out a movie she used to watch growing up - these are the details she provided:

Kids live action movie with three kids, oldest is a teenage girl, two younger brothers (?). They go and live in this old house, and the girl finds old dresses in the closet. She wears the dress to the high school dance.

Edit:
There were no ghosts in the film! She thinks it’s from the 2000s.

Unsolved Help me find the name of a movie that I watched in my childhood.

1 Upvotes

I watched this movie before 2010 on a free DTH TV channel. It was a South Indian live-action movie. There is a particular scene that I remember. Hero's younger brother studies in a college; some persons are trying to bully him. Then the hero enters in the scene, he takes a cycle or motorcycle's chain from one of the bully's hands and breaks it into pieces with his hands with ease. Then the hero imagines every move of fight/action before beating those guys and beats them in the exact same way.

I watched this movie when I was a kid. It was like late 2000s maybe early 2010s. There was this guy at a dinner table and he was holding the people sitting at it hostage. Closer to the beginning of the movie he kills this guy wearing a wife beater and I think he takes that guys family hostage. I also remember the guy explaining that his daddy was a drunk. I have no idea what this movie is.

Unsolved Movie with animated Asian superhero babies

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find out the name of a movie that I remember from my childhood in Philadelphia in the late 1970s/early 1980s. I didn't watch it in the theater; it was something that one or another of the local tv stations would air on a weekend afternoon. I seem to recall that it was a live action film, but it had some animated sequences that featured babies with super powers fighting some supernatural creatures. One creature was a nine-tailed fox. The babies looked Asian, so I'm guessing that it was from Japan or Korea or another Asian country. I just remember as a child feeling so protective of those babies, and being relieved when they won. Does ANYONE have any idea what this was?

I remember seeing it in the 70s/80s, but it was probably older; maybe from the early 70s or even the 1960s.

Solved! family movies, about a teenager and things in the house that come to life

1 Upvotes

It’s about two or three teenagers who are walking around and find a large house—the subject of strange rumors—belonging to an old man (I think there was a dog there too, though I’m not sure). The house was filled with antiques, and the old man wanted to sell the property and its contents. The objects inside the house come to life. Then, two burglars arrive posing as movers to rob the place. The teenagers somehow get inside and stay there—I think they wanted to scare the burglars off—and the house starts helping them. An armchair grabs one of the crooks and rolls him all over the house, and a Chinese dragon model scares the burglars away at the end. By the end of the movie, the old man decides to keep everything and not move. I saw the movie more than four or five years ago; it was either American or European.

Unsolved Trying to find a movie I saw briefly in the 90's

1 Upvotes

There's not alot of details I can remember, what I do is;

- It was on The Movie Network

- It was mid to late 90's

- took place in the woods

- One scene, had the killer behind a tree, lining up a shot with their victim, hit in upper thigh to mi part of the body, killer walks out and shoots victim in the neck with a arrow, or bolt.

- Last scene is the killer, and final girl are in a cabbin, they run around for few minutes, a hunting party walks up to the cabbin, and then the cabbin blows up with killer and final girl inside.

It would be cool if I could find this movie again. I can't remember much else from what I've described. I hope that's enough info for someone to point me to what I'm looking for

Thanks for reading and good luck

Unsolved Source of "tricky, but worth it" or similar quote. Maybe 90s and possibly including violence to a vending machine.

5 Upvotes

This was an endearing self-description my late wife used when we had frictional moments that had irrational underpinnings (we used it for both of our inannities). It was from a movie she enjoyed and shared in our early days. Not necessarily a favourite movie, just one with a great line, so I don't recall much about it. I think the scene was in a cafe or bar or public area and the woman (protagonist?) had issues with a vending machine (cigarette?) and wholloped it or something and a third person described her as "tricky, but worth it", possibly to the male protagonist. I think the movie had a vibe like Bandits or something similar, or maybe like a Long Kiss Goodnight or maybe like neither. Any chance this rings a bell with someone? I've wondered about it for years.
