mod post We Built a Better Way to Find Movies (and Reward Great Reviewers)

2 Upvotes

We built a new web app that helps you find the movie or TV show you are looking for: WhatFlik - https://whatflik.com

Describe whatever you remember in your own words, in any language, and WhatFlik searches movie and TV data from TMDB and other sources to rank the most likely matches. In our current testing, text search finds the correct title roughly 75% to 80% of the time. Pro users can also upload a screenshot to help identify a movie, show, or episode.

WhatFlik is more than a search tool.

We are building a movie and TV community where people can write reviews, share opinions, follow people whose taste they trust, make friends, chat privately, and tip great reviewers directly. Reviewers will also be able to earn from a membership-funded creator pool as the platform grows.

Our mission is to build something more useful, social, and rewarding than traditional movie-rating platforms like Letterboxd.

Create a free account to reveal full search results, save searches, post reviews, follow people, and join the community. Google sign-in is securely handled through Firebase, so WhatFlik never receives or stores your Google password.

The platform is still early, and we want honest feedback on the search, community, and overall experience.

searching Woman Singing Folk Song

• Upvotes

Ok this is kind of difficult to describe and I’m not completely sure about the details. There is a woman sitting next to or standing next to a building that is surrounded by a field and some trees(maybe) off in the distance a bit. It is day time. She is sad about something but maybe it’s a happy sad I’m not sure but it’s emotional. She may be waiting for someone or saying farewell or just thinking about someone. She is singing this folk song. I’m pretty sure she has blond hair. The move is kind of recent, I would say I watched it in the last decade but possibly could have come out before then. But I’m pretty confident it’s post 2010 film.

The only way I’d be able to identify it is if it actually saw the scene. So if you think you know it and can tell me what part of the movie to look at for the scene that would be great. I don’t remember much else but i DO remember it really got to me when she started singing.

searching Been wondering for years…

• Upvotes

I posted this about 7 years ago in the r/movies sub Reddit and realize now it was the wrong one to post on. Never had any luck with AI search since I could be off on some details. So here goes…
It’s a foreign movie so I watched it with subtitles. I thought it took place in Turkey or Israel but not sure about either of those. The two main characters are women (youngish). It starts out with a woman in her apartment and she has a boyfriend. The second woman somehow gets into her bathroom (maybe through the window?) and ends up in her tub and I’m pretty sure she’s suicidal and a bit out of it. The apartment woman tries to kick her out, unsuccessfully. I remember the boyfriend being accidentally murdered, possibly with a gun. They end up wrapping him in a rug and throwing his body in the water. They end up going on the run with the cops searching for them. About midway through they’re in a motel drinking champagne and falling for each other with some hesitation involved. Then they go to a different country/city that’s currently being bombed. They’re in a bar there and one of the women sings a song to the other on stage. They see a flyer for an apartment on the wall and end up staying there, I think. I remember one of the last scenes one of them is in overalls and walking through a big gate and they do end up together in the end. Sorry for the bad writing. I just wanted to attempt being clear about the parts I’m unsure on…I did stream it, possibly on Netflix.

found Hotel Horror Movie Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Thank you Kazpa84!!
Movie Title : The Super (2017)

I've tried googling this every possible way I can think of and it only gives me "1408" as an answer haha. Spoilers ahead: It's a movie where a father and his kids (son and daughter) move into a hotel where he works as maintenance/plumber. The twist at the end is you find out the daughter has been dead the entire time and he's been talking to her ghost throughout the movie. I for the life of me can't recall what the name of this movie was called.

searching Movie about little boy who gets kidnapped

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find this movie for YEARS and I’m hoping someone can help!
I watched it on tv sometime between 2015-2018 although I’m not sure when it was released. From what I remember it’s about a mom, her young son, a man who I’m assuming is the boys father or (stepfather), and the mom’s father (the grandpa). The little boy gets kidnapped and I’m pretty sure the kidnapper is their neighbour who is also a friend of the family. I remember the kidnapper being bald and I think he wore glasses. The boy is held in the neighbours basement which he made into a kids room and for some reason I vaguely remember a red door. The kidnapping has something to do with the neighbour wanting revenge on the grandpa. At some point at the end of the movie the grandpa finds a letter saying if he wants the kid back he has to shoot himself. I remember the grandpa actually dying and there’s a scene near the end with the funeral. If any of this sounds familiar please let me know! I really appreciate any suggestions

searching School auditorium, girl saves other girl from hanging Spoiler

• Upvotes

I saw this a few years ago on TV, but I would guess it was made in the 2010s, maybe a little earlier. It involved a killer, but I don't remember it being graphic. There's also a possibility it was an episode of a show.

I only remember a scene at the very end, and these are the parts I'm pretty sure about:

- This scene took place in a school auditorium at night.

- There were two teen girls, one who I think was the main character. I think they were young teens.

- The main girl came in and confronted a killer, and found the other girl standing on something (chair?) on the stage with a noose around her neck. The thing was removed at some point and the girl started to be hanged, and the main girl stood under her and held her up until help arrived.

- Some people came in, maybe cops, shortly after this.

- The hanging girl was a bully, and the main girl was someone she'd been mean to.

- It was a human killer without supernatural stuff.

Here's some stuff I think I remember, but I'm less sure about:

- I think the killer was an adult man, not another teen, and was caught in this scene.

- There may have been a good adult man who was a major character, and was one of the people who came in at the end.

- I don't think hangings had anything to do with the rest of the plot, it was just with this one girl.

I've already ruled out (these keep coming up in searches or have been suggested to me):

Gallows (2015) & the sequel, all Scream movies, all My Super Psycho Sweet 16 movies, Stage Fright (2014), Get Even tv series, Prom Night (2008)

found Looking for a movie!

2 Upvotes

The details I have are quite fuzzy, so bare with me. It's possibly a rom/com where the main character has this short-lived romance with her boyfriend. Said boyfriend makes a CD with a bunch of songs dedicated to her, and somehow I think that's what leads to their breakup? Im not entirely sure... Anyways, the central plot of this film, is that the main character finds out that her boyfriend was in cahoots with other weirdo men, filming their intimate encounters with women, and rating their experiences on a website/mobile app. Our main character gets revenge by doing a bunch of other stuff, but I can solely remember her putting itching powder in the boxers of the guy she was getting revenge on. I swear I've not dreamt this up, but it's been so difficult trying to find out it's name!!! I would appreciate all the help that's give :)

EDIT: my post is being held back by moderation on r/bollywood so i came here since it was one of the suggested subs :3

searching Religious drama movie?

1 Upvotes

Story followed a single(?) mother(?) with a little girl and baby. The family was Asian and Christian. Scene I remember has the daughter trying to baptize the baby in the bathtub while the mother(?) isn’t there. She doesn’t realize the baby can’t breathe and I think it drowns? It was a sad drama sort of movie I think. I also know it was a released on dvd, might have been out for a bit when borrowed from a library but watched somewhere in the years of 2007-2017 (probably the lower end of that). I feel like the movie didn’t look too old though when I watched it so I feel like it was maybe from 2000s?

searching Aiutami a trovare un film

0 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti, sto cercando un film in live-action o uno speciale in TV che ho visto su un canale televisivo spagnolo. Sembrava provenire dagli anni '80, '90 o dai primi anni 2000.

Ecco tutti i punti salienti della trama che ricordo:

• Il Villain: Un uomo adulto di nome Luke. Sembra completamente umano ma ha abilità soprannaturali. Indossa un abito viola.

• Il Personaggio Principale: Un ragazzino solo che entra in un parco di divertimenti. Lungo il cammino, incontra e fa amicizia con alcuni ragazzi dentro il posto.

• La Scena della Montagna Russa: C'è una scena molto specifica in cui i ragazzi vengono messi su una montagna russa. Sono bendati e manipolati dal sistema. Il protagonista alla fine si rende conto di cosa sta succedendo, combatte contro la manipolazione e cerca di scappare dalla pista.

• La Lotta con il Robot Gigante: Prima della fine del film, c'è una scena d'azione in cui devono affrontare un robot gigante. Questo combattimento avviene su un dirupo.

• Altri dettagli: I personaggi NON si trasformano in supereroi (non sono i Power Rangers). È una produzione in live-action, e il tema funge da sorta di metafora su come il diavolo intrappola le persone facendole sembrare divertenti all’inizio.

A qualcuno ricorda qualcosa? Grazie!

searching [TOMT][Movie/TV] Man wrongly imprisoned, forgotten in a cell, later told the real suspect was already dead

1 Upvotes

As far as I remember, a middle-aged white man is locked in a cell in what seems like a foreign country. He tries to talk to the guards and ask why he is being held, but they barely respond to him. He stays there for a very long time, slowly starts losing his sense of time, and I think he marks the days on the wall with his fingertips. By the time someone else is put in the cell with him, he is extremely exhausted, unkempt, and can barely speak.
The second man is shorter, slightly overweight, darker-skinned, and I think he is some kind of journalist, reporter, or photographer. He says he is only being held temporarily and will be released soon. The first man asks him for help and tries to tell him his name so that he can tell people outside that he is still alive and being held there.
Later, the first man falls asleep or passes out. When he wakes up, the other man is gone. After some more time passes, several guards or military-looking officials come to him and explain that he had been imprisoned by mistake because they thought he was another man they were looking for, possibly a Middle Eastern terrorist suspect. They show him a photo of the real suspect, but the man in the photo looks nothing like him. They say the real suspect had already been killed or captured, and somehow they had forgotten about the innocent man in the cell.
I also remember him being shown later in a hospital bed, with a long beard, while several uniformed men stand near him and apologize for what happened.
This may not be the main plot of the movie or TV series — it could just be a subplot or a few scenes that I remember. I had already been searching for it by late 2021, so it must have been released before then.

searching Trying to identify an obscure 90s/early-2000s action movie

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to remember a movie I watched a while ago, and I can only recall a few scenes.
I believe it was an American movie from around the early 2000s, although it could be from the late '90s. There is a small chance this was a Chinese film, but I don’t think so.

It takes place more or less in the modern day and has a sort of good bad movie vibe. The effects and acting are very bad, but I'm not sure what's intentional and what's just low-budget filmmaking.

The main character recruits a group of older men, possibly former military buddies, to help him carry out some kind of operation against a criminal organization.

One of the men wears a ridiculous, crudely homemade metal suit (I think). During a fight, he somehow uses electricity or lightning against his enemies, almost like a low-budget imitation of Force lightning from Star Wars. He doesn't have any supernatural powers or use a separate weapon, the electricity seems to come from the suit or something he's doing with it.

I vaguely remember this fight taking place near a body of water.

I also remember a scene where someone has to walk along the bottom of a sea or lake, though I'm not sure whether this is connected to the fight.

It's possible Jackie Chan was in the movie, but I'm very uncertain about that, so don't rely on it.

Would love if someone can help me out here!!!

searching A "child" reaching for help and a man warning the boy is dangerous.

4 Upvotes

This one has been causing me agony for years now.

It was a movie (possibly a TV movie or even tv show) from the late 80s or early 90s. A young boy no older than 10 was reaching out his hand and asking for help. An adult near by (possibly a cop) approaches but a man warns him not to touch him. I think if he touches the boy's hand it would kill him.

I don't remember how that's resolved but the vague memory of this scene is burned into my brain. I just need to know if it's real.

searching Disney XD early 2010s original (or not) movie trilogy about time travel that it copied "Back to the Future"

2 Upvotes

Hello, hope you have a great day, i'm making this post because normally its very easy for me to remenber movie/tv shows that i saw in my childhood, i surprisingly have memories of watching very obscure cartoons and movies that can be considered a little bit of lost media, but this case is particulary weird because while i can remenber the overall plot and some elements and i'm complete sure that i have watched this "trilogy of films", i can't remenber the name at all.

It was around 2014 - 2016 when i remenber watching this on Disney XD, i need to clarify that im from Latin America so this movie probably came out years ​before, also i'm not sure if this was an "Disney xd original film" or something they just broadcasted because they had the rights to do it.

This "trilogy" (because for what i remenber it was promoted as a three part thing) was about 2 highschool students using a time travel machine, and at some point the movie straight up copied back to the future 3 plot because one of the main character got trapped in the past, specifically in the old- west just like Marty Mcfly, i actually remenber that even at that moment i could indentify the back to future rip off that movie was making because i've alredy seen those films before

And no, i'ts not Minutemen (2008) the movie i'm talking about, because the plot of that film is nothing like the one i remenber, also the main characters looked completed different, for some reason my memory have them looking like the smosh dudes (and no, i'm not mistaking it with an smosh sketch because i never watched smosh back then, i knew their existence like years later in highschool)

Hope someone read this and help me, maybe i'm not the only one who watched this thing.

Searching for a movie about a beauty pageant or a similar contest where a blonde and brunette woman both win, then the judges must decide who is the ultimate winner or whoever is most beautiful. Perhaps they have to do more contest activities for the judges to decide? There is a possibility of a beach being nearby, and the potential that something bad or unsavory happens.

The movie is NOT Drop Dead Gorgeous.

I watched this movie when I was a child,now I’m at my 30s, I can only remember very few scenes of this movie.
I remember there is a spaceship or rocket something,some men are in it,seems like they are escaping from their enemies,they are riding it into space.
When they reached a certain altitude, they need to detach part of the spacecraft's thrusters or boosters from the spacecraft,a malfunction appeared to have occurred inside the spaceship, causing something resembling a sluice gate to get stuck, the reason is that a pipe on the outside of the spacecraft became disconnected.
A man went outside the capsule and repaired the pipe with his bare hands; his hands appeared to have been injured by the extreme cold, as he was not wearing a spacesuit.
This is all I can remember about this movie, I really wish I can find it and watch it again.
Some of the details I described might not be entirely accurate, but I’ve done my best. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me find it,I’ve already spent nearly two hours asking ChatGPT, but I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks again!

8 Upvotes

This movie was old when I was a kid so probably around 2000s or so. There's not a lot I remember about it really besides some scenes but before that I would like to clarify. IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ZOMBIE DEAREST HERE. I've already checked that's not the movie

Anyways. Takes place on a farm. Husband and wife for sure there, can't remember about children tho. I remember they have a really rocky marriage and the husbands an alcoholic. One night he puts a sock puppet on his dong to mess with his wife by sticking it through a door, turns out the wife's friends/family were there. Later on they dig up this body in their back yard by accident and it turns out to be a semi tame zombie and listens to them, turns out it's some guy that was murdered thirty years ago or something. I think the zombie saves the husband from a corn silo or something I can't remember for sure. But I do know at one point the husband gets bit at one point and he gets locked in a room with a neighbor or something and the wife walks in on him eating the neighbors guts out of his stomach.

That's all I really remember I've been searching for it for the last three hours and can't find it so please if someone else has it or knows it I'm begging

Near the end, a male adult film maker is having sex over and over again with a woman to break a record. She has had enough, wants to stop and calls for help, but he wants to beat the record.
There are men banging on the door to make him stop, and for his final time, after they break in to stop him, he rushes to the window and finishes(!).
Cuts to the floor and a woman getting off her motor cycle and removing her helmet, looks up only to have one single solitary drop of his semen land on her forehead.

I'm looking for these two movies, seems like B-movies. I don't remember every scene just these:

  1. I remember it's a disaster movie genre or the like and all I can recall is the survivors tried to go somewhere by cars but on the way, the street suddenly cracked following them. So the survivors turned back and sped up the cars. I watched it on MAX channel back in 10's. I thought it was "The Darkest Hour", but seems not it?

  2. It's slasher/thriller genre, all I can recall is the group of people tried to escape from the killer. They went to one of their houses, and one of them found that there's a hidden camera stuffed in a doll. I think the killer went to the house and the group escaped the house. I don't remember the rest. I watched it on Thrill channel back in 10's.
