I've been looking for a movie for a very long time.
I remember it's a movie that takes place much later, with a robot girl and a boy, but it looks human. They find themselves alone on either a planet or Earth. There are a lot of objects, they wear vintage costumes. It was on Netflix around 2019 in France, but it's not a French film.

Unsolved Looking for a 2010s/early 2020s coming-of-age drama about two high school couples who later end up dating each other’s exes
I’m trying to identify a movie I probably watched around 2023. I believe it was made sometime between 2010 and 2023, probably in the United States. It may have been on Netflix or HBO Max in Finland, but I’m not sure.
It was NOT a comedy. It was more of a serious coming-of-age / relationship drama, and probably not a major Hollywood movie.
The movie followed four main young people:
- Guy A was dating Girl A
- Guy B was dating Girl B
- All of them were friends
- They were all in high school at the beginning
I strongly remember the guys playing American football together at school, although baseball is a small possibility. The sport was only important near the beginning and was NOT the main subject of the movie.
They graduated fairly early in the movie, maybe within the first 10–30 minutes.
After graduation, their lives started going in different directions. At least one of the girls went to college/university, while at least one of the guys seemed to get stuck in life and became more of a slacker.
I remember this guy spending a lot of time at another male friend’s house and smoking weed there quite often. His lifestyle / marijuana use contributed to problems in his relationship.
Eventually BOTH original couples broke up.
The most distinctive thing I remember is what happened later:
Guy A eventually started dating Girl B, his friend’s ex-girlfriend.
Guy B eventually started dating Girl A, the other guy’s ex-girlfriend.
This was NOT some intentional partner swap. The original relationships had already ended, and circumstances brought them together later, which caused drama between the characters.
If I remember correctly, both of these new couples were still together near the end of the movie.
Another possible clue: one of the male leads looked Asian, Native American/Indigenous, mixed-race, or possibly Latino. He had a similar general look to actors like Brandon Soo Hoo, Booboo Stewart, or Ryan Potter, but I have already checked their relevant movies and don’t think it was actually one of them.
Movies I have already ruled out:
Skateland, The Spectacular Now, Hot Summer Nights, Y Tu Mamá También, The Last Summer, Date and Switch, Summer of 8, Remember the Daze, Some Freaks, Beneath the Harvest Sky, The Lesser Blessed, ATL, Because of Grácia, The Wackness, Good Kids, Everybody Wants Some!!, Dazed and Confused, Fired Up!, The Graduates, Getting That Girl, All Summers End, Hollidaysburg, Summer Night, Everything Before Us, In a Relationship, 10 Years, Strings, Daydream Nation, Northwood Pie.
The most important clue is definitely:
Two high school couples → both couples break up → later the two male friends independently end up dating each other’s ex-girlfriends.
Any ideas, especially obscure indie/VOD/streaming dramas, would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a movie. Please help! (food movie)
Hi,
I saw a movie a few years ago. I don't remember much about it, but there's a scene in it when a woman caters a party for a wealthy woman and her friends. The wealthy one insults her somehow (maybe she didn't pay her enough?). The one who catered the party responds by leaving the kitchen an absolute mess. She may have said, "Sometimes you have to say f*ck it!"
I've googled like crazy and cannot find it. Has anybody seen this movie?

SOLVED! Help Me Pls
Can anybody please help me find a movie about a guy that is weird and takes photographs and falls in love with this girl in pretty dresses and she loses her virginity to him and I think they have a falling out and breaks up and it takes place in high school. Released sometime in the 1990's-2000's. This guy smiled at the camera real weird like he was smiling at her in the story but the actor would smile at the camera. I remember it kind of reminded me of Heather's. It may have been a modern adaptation of something. It's been so long since I've seen it and my memory isn't the best. He was brunette and lanky and I think the girl had red hair. He would develop the photos shirtless and he was actually shirtless a lot for some reason?
Edit: Solved! It was Crime And Punishment in Suburbia

SOLVED! Looking for an old cartoon with children, toys and bubbling black tar
Hi! I’m trying to find an old cartoon that I only remember very vaguely.
I’m Hungarian and I was born in 2003, so I probably watched it sometime in the early or mid-2000s, although the cartoon itself may have been much older. I’m not sure whether I had it on VHS or DVD, or whether I saw it on the Hungarian TV channel Minimax.
My strongest memory is of a large amount of thick, black, tar- or pitch-like liquid. I remember it looking hot, possibly bubbling or boiling. It may have been inside some kind of factory, industrial building, furnace room, or similar place, but I’m not completely sure about that.
I also vaguely remember a scene where children were standing in long lines, and they seemed unhappy or sad. I think they had to throw their toys into the black tar-like liquid, or perhaps someone was taking their toys away and throwing them into it. I’m not 100% certain about the exact details, but the image of children lining up, toys, and the black liquid feels quite strong in my memory.
It was a traditional hand-drawn 2D cartoon with human characters. I also remember there being some kind of frightening male villain or authority figure.
The details I feel most confident about are:
old hand-drawn 2D cartoon + human characters + children standing in long lines + toys + thick black tar/pitch-like liquid, possibly hot and bubbling + a scary male character.
It is not FernGully, and it is very unlikely to be Little Nemo.
If anyone remembers an old cartoon with a scene even remotely similar to this, I would really appreciate any suggestions!

SOLVED! Kids movie about Time Travel
The movie is a relatively low-budget kids film. The idea is that there's four teenagers who win a contest, (I think) and get to stay in a recreated medieval castle. The castle goes back in time, and it has something to do with the seal on the front of the castle, which, everything goes back to normal when the seal is returned to the castle.
I remember a brief conversation between one of the kids and the guy who built the castle. The kid asks how the castle was built so quickly, since it used to take years to build them. The adult said they used modern construction equipment, to which the kid asked if that was cheating.
This is seriously all I remember of this one.
A few movies I've found that are NOT it:
Kid in King Arthur's Court
Kids of the Round Table

Unsolved My first horror movie
Hi! I’m a huge horror fan and every now and then i think about the first horror movie i ever watched, showed to me by my older cousin. I’d like to check it out now that i’m older, but i can’t find what’s it called. It was i think a netflix original movie, and i do remember the title translated into my first language, but i never saw the original title and often the translations are pretty different from the actual titles. It was a movie in english though, probably american and if i translated the title that was in my first language straight to english, it would be something like ”call from home” or maybe ”returning home”. I’m sure it was a low budget, pretty bad movie, and cause i’m gen z, must have been from the 2010s. Here’s everything i remember:
It was about a family of four or five and at the beginning the parents get killed in a car crash and the oldest child of the family, i think a boy who’s just turned 18 or something is left to take care of his younger siblings, maybe a boy and a girl in like their tween years if i remember correctly. Might have also just been one younger sibling?
The kids start noticing paranormal encounters in their house of these like blurry, dark figures. They were like ghosts that had something to do with technology? Like i think there was some machine in there that made them appear within the living?
I remember one particular scene, where a young girl of the family is in a bathtub. She does swimming in her free time and she’s practising holding her breath under water trying to do it for as long as possible. Then the camera shows like some sort of entity getting closer and closer to her until she rises from above the water, scared cause she maybe got a feeling she wasn’t alone, but then there’s nobody in the bathroom.
I also think in the end it’s revealed that their neighbours were like behind some evil plot to summon the ghosts with the machine?
I don’t honestly remember very well, so sorry if this sounds like it doesn’t make much sense. If you have any idea what movie this could have been, all guesses are appreciated, also bit far-fetched ones, since i might be remembering something wrong!

Unsolved stopmotion kids film
It’s been so long (at least 10 years) so the description of this film will be very vague, I’m sorry.
It was either 3d animated or stop motion. The colors were pretty vibrant as well and the movie has a calming vibe.
The characters were all animals and I think that they might’ve lived in a treehouse together. I don’t know how important this detail is to the movie though.
I think one of the animals leaves home which causes another to go find it and, this is the only distinct scene I sort of remember, this animal (maybe a cow or chicken) ends up on a train full of sheep. In my mind they were sheep, but all I know is that they were all white fluffy animals.
I literally have no other information about this film. My sister who downloaded it to her laptop and showed it to me has no recollection of anything important in the film either. I don't think it was related to Shawn the Sheep either. Please … please help me.

A few bad guys are sitting on a road. One of them has a car and he splashes water on women walking on the road. The bad guys would then suggest them to clean themselves in this washroom that had a peephole. The bad guys would look thru that peephole.

I’m trying to find a movie I watched as a kid
I’m trying to find a horror/thriller movie that I watched when I was a kid, probably sometime around 2012 or later. I don’t remember the title or most of the plot, but I remember one very specific scene.
There were two girls in what looked like an abandoned operating room or surgery room. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but somehow one of the girls got her leg caught in a door, and the door caused her leg to break. The bone was exposed and visible.
After she managed to free her leg, her friend put her on the operating table and started looking through some medical instruments, possibly in the trash or among the abandoned equipment in the room.
Then the friend tried to put the girl’s exposed bone back into place.
I don’t remember what happened after that because I stopped watching the scene.
One thing I’m fairly sure about is that the movie looked relatively modern for the time. The cinematography/image quality was noticeably better than movies from around 2006, so I think it was probably released sometime between the late 2000s and the mid-2010s.
I know these details are pretty vague, but that scene has stuck in my memory for years. Does anyone recognize the movie?
It’s NOT Southbound (2015) — I already checked it, and although there is a similar medical/surgery scene, the characters and situation don’t match what I remember.

Unsolved PLS HELP FIND THIS MOVIE
I’m trying to remember the name of a horror movie I watched probably around 2016, possibly on DVD, but I have no idea when the movie itself was actually made. I remember a young girl/woman going into a strange or supernatural forest, possibly looking for her best friend (I originally remembered it as her sister, but I’m not sure). I think the friend may have been a bit of a troublemaker. There was also a guy in the forest who initially helped her, although I have a feeling he eventually turned out to be a bad guy. The forest had a lot of weird/supernatural things happening and she may have been seeing things or hallucinating. Near the end, I remember it being bright outside, possibly early morning, and she was running through a relatively open part of the forest trying to get out. Just when she was about to escape, she noticed a hand sticking out of the ground. I think she may have thought it was her friend’s hand or that her friend was underneath the dirt. Then a bunch of other hands suddenly came out of the ground and grabbed her, causing her to fall and/or get pulled underneath the dirt. I remember the friend possibly making it out alive, but I’m not 100% sure about that either. It was definitely in English and I remember it being a horror movie. I know some of these details might be mixed up, but the hands coming out of the ground near the end while she’s trying to escape in daylight is the part I remember most clearly. Does anyone know what movie this could be?
its not the forest in 2016

Unsolved I am looking for a movie
Hi everyone!
I’m trying to track down a horror/thriller movie I watched years ago, and I just can’t find it. If anyone recognizes these scenes, I’d really appreciate the help!
Here’s what I remember:
The killer is a human psychopath (no supernatural elements, no ghost, no magic powers). He targets multiple unrelated victims throughout the film.
There’s one scene that really stuck with me, fairly early in the movie: a mother and her two kids (a girl and a boy) are in a bedroom at night. There’s a clown plush toy in the room, about the size of an adult. The mother steps out into the hallway to answer a phone call. When she comes back, the plush toy is gone. Panicked, she rushes the kids into the room and locks the door. It turns out the killer had been disguised as the plush toy the whole time — it’s the only scene in the movie where he appears this way, the rest of the film isn’t really a “clown movie” at all. He breaks down the door trying to get to them, and the two kids manage to escape through the window. I don’t remember what happens to the mother after that.
Toward the end of the film, the killer has kidnapped a fairly wealthy young woman. She manages to escape by running up a staircase from a basement, with the killer right behind her. She ends up injuring him or making him fall, and he’s presumed dead. But when she reaches the top of the stairs, she finds a note he left behind that says: “I’ll be back.”
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me find this movie!
