Need help remembering a Movie or TV show? Ask here.

I am looking for an old tv program probably 90's where there was a woman psychic who could see dead people, and then she would help them, she lived with her cat. I remember one episode she saw a dead person in the supermarket and there was a whole story line about lying beneath the crossed bones or something and then the dead persons body was found in the river or canal and there was a picture of crossed bones on the side of the canal, please help! Thanks

Sounds like Ghost Whisperer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460644/

I remember last part of episode in a show, aired in mid-late 90's Russia. I think, there was a group of children, or at least young teenagers,
who met woman and midget. They fight different enemies in some сhallenge, and i clearly remeber some amazon-like girl with whip, who
attacked the woman. Woman catched whip and started to spinning in place so fast that makes girl fly in the air, then throw her in wall,
and girl disappeared. Midget, or at least small man, had a beard, and had some generator of objects. When fight began he and kids tried to create weapon,
but created just golf club or something not suitable. I clearly remember how woman catched whip and spinning, makes girl fly in air. I think, it was part of some series for children. What's the name of it?

Need Help Remembering Movie Its Was 70s-90s All I Remember is Ending But The Is A man And I Remember Him Talking To a Women Next I Remember He Gets In The Helicopter And Takes Off And City Is Bombed/Nuked Not To Sure Why And I Dont Know If She Got In Heli With Him I cant Remember. Good Luck!

Miracle Mile I think was the name. The man was a musician who just met this woman and they had an instant attraction. When he answers a phone later thinking it might be her he gets a wrong number call from a soldier in NORAD warning that they launched all their missles and return strikes were incoming. The rest of the movie was about him trying to find his new love and get the hell out of town. They make it to a helicopter but as you said, the nukes hit just as they were taking off.

This could be a tough one; I can recall part of a TV episode but little else. The show would have aired on PBS (may or may not have been a BBC show) somewhere between 1983 and 1987; the episode seemed to have the tone and production values of science fiction shows of the time (Doctor Who, etc). Here are two scenes I recall from the episode:

Scene 1 - A small group of people, mostly children but with at least two adults - are "lost" somewhere and trying to get home. They're driving some type of ground vehicle, visually similar to a large bumper car or a roller coaster car. (No, it's not The Great Space Coaster.) They discover a signpost of sorts, and while obtaining information from it, there was a circular visual element (like a giant monocle) on the screen that a green alien form could be seen moving through.

Scene 2 - The group comes to a room where the wall is dominated by a large gold face. It speaks to them and says it can help them get home, at which point the mouth opens to reveal a door. The group enters the mouth and find themselves in a small dark room, where the door shuts behind them. A man's face appears on a screen; the voice and personality are the same as the talking wall, but now more menacing. One of the girls in the group looks him in the eyes (despite warnings from others) and becomes hypnotized, standing in place. The others are challenged to solve a puzzle on the wall that will release the key for the door, but must complete it before sleeping gas is deployed. (It may or may not have been overtly stated that the gas would make them sleep for a hundred years.) One of the group seems successful in freeing the key, but not before the room starts filling with gas. The man's face is still visible on the screen and the whole thing is super creepy.

Assuming that I didn't imagine or dream this as a child, any ideas as to what this show might have been? I'd love to figure it out.

The movie's an easy one: The Flight of Dragons. One of the great Rankin-Bass animated films.

Good luck with the TV show.

That sounds somewhat like Otherworld a TV series that aired for a short time in the 80's

The movie is The Flight of Dragons from 1982. I replied earlier with a link to its IMDb entry, but my post got held for moderation.

It wasn't Otherworld - I looked through all eight episodes and didn't see a thing I recognized. The show I recall looked more BBC-ey, if one will accept that as an adjective. Thanks for the suggestion.

this sounds like a scene from the book A Wrinkle in Time. Could it have been made for TV mini-series or something that aired on PBS? I have no idea if anyone has ever done that.

I devoured those books as a kid - it does sound a bit like the meeting between Charles Wallace and The Man With The Red Eyes. Unfortunately, that's not it; the only television adaptation of Wrinkle was in 2003, and was done with Disney-level production values.

A previous commenter had mentioned Otherworld, which prompted me to recall another minor detail. In Scene 1 of my original description, I described the group stopping at a signpost. I believe the signpost may have been referred to as an obelisk and may have also contained a puzzle that needed to be solved before it showed them the way. Solving puzzles as a way to get home - while something sinister tries to keep the protagonists from doing so - seems to be a theme.

[syphrezero]

At long last, I figured it out! The two scenes I described in my original post are from two different episodes of Read All About It.

Scene 1 appears to be from Read All About It Episode 18: http://youtu.be/FzaTmQDC0-M

Scene 2 appears to be from Read All About It Episode 3: http://youtu.be/bq_K231jCSc

Thank you to Ocajnik and txshusker for your suggestions; reading up on both put me on track to the right answer. I haven't seen either program since they first aired almost 30 years ago, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing them with a new perspective.

Hi, im looking for a movie but can only remember a scene or two.

Its a film i believe was made in the early 2000's

the scenes i remember are :

1) at a party : girl tied a guy to a bed and put a sock in his mouth, she then opened the door and let people draw and paint on him (could be spray paint).
2) there was a girl that told a guy that she wanted him to join her in the shower, when he did she freaked out that that's what he thought she meant. (along those lines)
3) a guy in a thong in a bedroom

[LowKeyEnergy]

1) i remember only a short image from a movie or television show that i saw sometime between 1981 and 1990. there is a guy who is horrified to find that his friend has been trapped as a reflection inside some mirror world in the reflection of his glass coffee table

2) this was from an english-dubbed anime that my family rented from a video store sometime between 1981 and 1990. i think there is a medusa type character that can turn people to stone. there was a very creepy scene where an old man or woman in a witch/wizard robe kisses (a girl i think) and give her a curse that makes her sleep or die or something. the witch says "there. now you have _______"


and i can't find the post i read several pages back , but the movie / book about the 2 kids that hide in a museum is called "from the mixed up files of mrs basil e. frankweiler" .
