So I just remembered this strange movie I've seen on TV when I was errr, 6-7 or so, maybe even younger. I vaguely remember the details, but it went something along these lines:
Basically there is this airplane (or some spacecraft?), and during the flight it somehow crosses to like, alternate dimension Earth, full of these huge(?) bloodthirsty fuzzbals that devour everything on their path. Something along these lines.
I know that this description is very vague, maybe it's even a simple product of my imagination that my brain during all these years led me to believe I saw it, but if someone, somehow can deduce from it what it was i would be oh-so-grateful :<

If you are young, it is probably "The Langoliers", a TV movie adapted from a Stephen King short story.
Edit: It was from 1995 here is the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112040/

Reading through the synopsis on wiki it seems to be exactly this.
I... just... wow. Through all these years, whenever it popped into my mind it would always bug me, what the hell that movie was. There are no words that could express my gratitude. Seriously. Thank you man, for solving one of the strangest mysteries from my childhood.
There is this movie probably from the 80s about a teenage boy who plays an old computer game and falls asleep. When he wakes up he finds part of a human body in his fridge. (maybe a hand or something i can't remember.)
His friend comes over to tell him the cops are looking around trying to find a murderer. This friend finds out about body part in the fridge and suspects the boy is the murderer. The computer game tells the boy to kill his friend and kill more people who suspect the boy is the murderer. Eventually the game tells him to kill his girlfriend too. He refuses to kill his girlfriend.
The end of the movie shows the computer game "Start to Play" or something like that.
sorry its kinda vague, but my wife hasn't seen this movie in over 10 years. we've been trying to find out what movie it was for so long.

It's a TV show from the UK. I remember that the brazilian translation to the name of the show was "How and Why" but the original name only had one word.
It was hosted by a woman and 2 guys, an older one and a younger one, they used to sit at a round table and would explain how things worked.
I loved that show when I was a child, help me Gaf!!!

Ok guys, a search for a certain song is KILLING me. The tune is stuck in my head, but I dont know the artist or remember the lyrics.
All I recall is that it sounded like a love ballad, was mainly piano based and the singer sounded like Chris Martin. I'm sure the song came out around 2006-2007, but can't be certain.
Also the lyrcis contained "for you" "for me" or something like that. I just remember the tune and I always end up embarassing myself trying to get my friends guess it.

A cartoon that from my memory was on in the late 90's. There were action figures based off of the show. They were either sharks or Dinosaurs I believe. They were rough and ripped. I'm pretty sure they played the role of a "superhero" and it was a team of them. The title I think had the word sharks in it.
Edit: It was called street sharks.

Please help me with this, GAF:
A very basic & simple windows software (freeware) for video conversion, white or grey interface... You have to choose a output device in small window (HDTV, standard TV, mobile, smartphone and others I don't remember) before you can do anything else, there are images representing each device.
The main interface: on the left side, there are some slides for video & audio quality, basic options for input / output.
On the right side, there is a big window with tasks to do and some additional video options (deinterlace etc.)
Please no te that I haven't described the whole interface, just the parts that I remember.
It probably hadn't been updated for a couple of months, but I'm not sure about that...
So, anyone knows the name of this software?

I don't know if I made this one up.
But this was a long, long time ago, probably the early 90's. It was a TV show or a movie, live action, that had a scene were a steam roller was crushing a ton of videogames.
Being a little Nintendo freak, this image scarred me for life.

GAF, I need help.
I've been trying to find the name of this movie off and on for a few years now. I remember watching it when I was fairly young. It must have been around 10 years ago.
The movie was about a family who winds up in some sort of ghost town. Green slime plays a big role, though I don't remember exactly how. I think it turned character into ghosts/monsters or something like that. The main thing I remember is the final scene in which the family is celebrating one of the kid's birthdays. The parents cut the cake and green slime oozes out. They turn and look at the kid and it is implied that they are possessed or something.
I'm pretty sure this was a made for TV kids movie. It had a similar style to something like Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark?, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an episode of either.
I've tried searching around for more information, and have found two people asking the same question. I'm pretty sure both this and this are referencing the movie. In both cases responders have said Troll 2, but I know this is incorrect. When I watched Troll II a lot of things (the slime and especially the apple bit at the end) reminded me of the movie I'm looking for. I'm sure, however, that my movie was something else. It had a younger target audience and I'm positive about the slime-cake scene at the end.
Anyway, this has been driving me crazy for a while now, so if anybody can figure out the name of this movie I will be eternally grateful.

Here's another thing I'm trying to remember. There used to be a series of shorts clips in my early childhood/eighties using puppets. They portrayed cavemen (I think) with a tyranical chief. With every clip, some of the lowly cavemen would get together and scheme against the chief and would ALWAYS lose in the end. There was even a specific tune they would hum to as losers, beaten and into slavery (?).
One big problem was that it had no speech whatsoever so I have no idea where the show came from. Probably somewhere in Europe, but that's just a guess.

Ok, here's one that been bugging me for a few years.
An animated movie from the 70s/early 80s. About an old pimp talking to a woman in a bar about his old GF, and it turns out it was her. Actually, I think he was more of a gang leader. It was an adult movie, but pretty sure it wasn't rated X, even with cartoon boobies.

I got a few...
First one was a cartoon when I was a young kid & saw on TV.
About a kid who's stuffed toy bear gets dirty or damaged & the mother wants to throw it away.
The bear I think comes to life or something when the humans are away. The stuffed bear gets throw out & really messed up, but it ends with someone finding him & fixing him all up.
2nd is a cartoon show about a superhero fighting gingivitis & plaque monsters I saw in elementary school. Possible a show by Crest?
3rd is a cartoon about a castle of monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, wolf man etc.. & them having a party of some sorts & I vaguely remember another cartoon or maybe a sequel to it, that had their monster kids being babysat while they were away.

Don't know if it's a movie or a tv show but this quote has popped into my head recently and keeps bugging me.
Something along the lines of "It will give us(him?) some time to...chew the fat", 'chew the fat' is definitely part of the quote..I think. I remember the voice being really dark and gravelly, nothing beyond that.
It's really annoying because I know its a memory of something, I just have no idea what.

A movie whose first 10-15 minutes got accidentally recorded on VHS following the end of another movie: two guys, who are either wanted or terminally ill, probably ill (can't remember), and are advised that things may be better in the future, so they get cryogenically frozen. Maybe it was cancer, and a doc tells them that medicine will advance in the future? They wake up in the "present" (80s or 90s) and then.... our VHS ran out. Always wondered what happened to them. Any clue what movie that was?
Not too sure what that one is, there's quite of few stories based on abandoned teddy bears.FTWer said:

Dammit, I remember there was this small show I saw in school with the Crest Sparkle men, they were squirts of the blue paste with sunglasses on. I can't find anything about the cartoon, but I remember seeing it.
Not sure if that's what you're thinkingThis one I actually know.

I seem to recall coming home one night as a kid to find a series of short cartoons on TV (I want to say NBC, but I'm not sure) They were kind of dark/disturbing. The only one I really remember is with this couple who were eggs (Like Humpty Dumpty). One of them goes driving a car on the side of a mountain and ends up crashing and cracking. I think it was in black and white as well.

There's this weird thing that I can only remember the theme song segment to, sorta. Its basically this brolic dude with flowing hair, and the sky is full of dark clouds and lightning and the word MAGMA is right behind him, and apparently that's his name because a good portion of the theme song chorus was the guy screaming out "MAGMA!! MAGMA!!" but for the life of me I can't find this show anywhere! It must've been an 80's creation, though it was early 1990's when I saw it because I was around 4 or 5 when I saw it. Thinking on it now, it was probably a Japanese or Chinese cartoon, shonen-adventure style. The guy was brolic like Kenshiro though.
Also there was this weird claymation thing with two tribes fighting or something, and no dialogue except for grunts. It was towards the end of a VHS anthology of animation, lots of old-timey stuff along with this claymation thing. One of the cartoons was the kids preparing for Santa's arrival I think.

No that's not it (Although I also remember that from my childhood). This was more current looking and had a grimmer style.
Also thought of another one. There was this show that used to come on CBS Saturday Mornings in the late 90s. It was about an insanely intelligent kid who would hide spy-cameras around his house, which looked like eyes. It aired around the same time as Secrets from the Crypt Keeper's Haunted House gameshow.
Also, if anyone knows a website where I could browse through 90s Saturday Morning shows and their description, that would be awesome. It's kind of depressing that I have these feint memories of shows like "What-a-mess" and stuff, yet it's all too sketchy to really visualize.

Does anyone know what movie I'm thinking about. I'm pretty sure it was made in the 30s or 40s and it was about a dystopian sort of society that lived in an enormous hollowed out mountain. I seem to recall the government was trying to launch a rocket and one guy was out to stop it from happening. This movie wasn't a silent film and definitely wasn't Metropolis.

I remember reading on GAF or somewhere that there was a (possibly animated) movie project in which Michael J Fox had already recorded the voices for a while back, but it has never been finished. Does this ring a bell to anyone or have I remembered it wrong? I want to know more about it.
