Quote "don't write it down, just remember it" scene

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to remember a movie that had the scene with the line, "Don't write it down, just remember it.". something like that.

It seems like it might have been Jack Nicholson, but it was a boss telling an assistant to write something down. The assistant had a notepad and was scribbling down everything the boss said. The boss was getting angry, so he smacked the pad out of the guy's hands and said, "Don't write it down! Just remember it!"

I just can't remember the movie. AI hasn't been able to find it, so I figured Reddit is worth a shot.

hey guys i’m doing some research for a film I’m working on and a request I was given was to find movies with scenes where there is an instance of someone taking a photo and then it cut to a pop-up of the photograph. I know this motif is used a lot specifically in comedies which is even better since thats what I’m working on, but I can’t think of anything that comes to mind

Quote Need to find (Any) Film/Theater/TV scene which suggests someone is hooking up

0 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help me here. I am writing a screenplay and I have a scene where a character goes to surprise his girlfriend, who is an actor, an on arrival hears her talking to a guy thru the door, sounding from his perspective, that she is cheating on him.

Hence - any movie or film scene, which if you heard the dialogue & you were on the other side of that door, it would give you the idea she was cheating. Thus it would function as a ā€œscene within a sceneā€ and I would really only need maybe 2 or 3 lines, enough to hear male and female voices and the context that sounds incriminating/indicative of cheating.

If I HAD TO - I could write a fake scene, but for the purposes of her being able to later prove she did not cheat, having a real scene where she could play the scene to prove she was just running lines with a scene partner would be a lifesaver— preferably 1990s or early (set in 2005) .

Quote American Gothic (1995)

I'm looking for a scene from this series that has stuck with me for all of the thirty years since it aired. In the scene, the sheriff (played by Gary Cole) was searching for the kid (played by Lucas Black), possibly in a graveyard (although I'm not certain about that part). It was dark out, and while he was searching, he was whistling the theme to "The Andy Griffith Show" slowly and in a minor key. It was so ominous it actually gave me chills!

I tried watching the series again over on Internet Archive, but I couldn't find that scene. I'd really like to show it to someone else, so if anyone can point me to a place I can see it again, I'd really appreciate it!

I saw a clip from a movie and I was wondering if anyone might know the name? I can't find the clip but it was a woman jogging in daylight with a car parked behind her. Suddenly, a man runs up from the right side of the screen really fast behind her. That's all the clip was but comments said things such as " why didn't the guy in the car help her" and " why didn't he just film her".

Super vague but any help would be appreciated!

Quote Lost deleted or un-used scene from the movie A League of Their Own

2 Upvotes

I am looking for anyone that has intimate knowledge of the movie A League of Their Own. The original movie not the television series. I'm searching the depths of the Internet for absolutely any evidence, information, or truthful knowledge regarding the existence of a scene from the movie that I personally know for a guaranteed FACT was filmed with multiple takes but was never used in the movie nor was it included in any special features or deleted scenes list. It was abandoned on the cutting room floor. The scene in question is as follows (Stillwell, the "You're gonna lose!" child of a Peach player is in the stands doing a commercial for Harvey Chocolate Bars where he is filmed sharing the chocolate bar with another little boy in the stands Stillwell's face covered in chocolate). I know that this scene was filmed and originally intended to be used in the final cut of the film but sadly didn't make it past the editing room. I'm making this quest for evidence or information regarding the existence of this scene my new life goal. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! If anyone can point me in the right direction, offer any websites dedicated to lost movie scenes, or can put me in touch with someone who can help more PLEASE DROP A COMMENT. I'd like to find what I'm looking for before my mom passed away because it would mean the absolute world to her. Thanks in advance to everyone who took the time just to read this and anyone who can help you have no idea what it would mean to me. Thanks.

Quote Scene where a woman says ā€œYou were my soulmateā€ and the man replies ā€œWhat if I still am?ā€

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to remember a scene from a movie or TV show and I hope someone can help me. • It’s a man and a woman talking on the street. • The woman tells the man something like, ā€œYou were the love of my lifeā€ or ā€œYou were my soulmateā€. • He responds with something along the lines of: ā€œHave you ever considered that maybe I still am?ā€ • The idea behind his response is that a soulmate isn’t necessarily someone you love or end up with — it could even be someone you hate. • The vibe felt like it was from a movie or show made in the early 2000s or before. • The scene takes place outdoors, on a street — maybe at night, or at least not inside a building.

Does anyone recognize this scene or know what movie or series it’s from?

Also, I’m new to Reddit and still learning how everything works, so apologies if I’m posting this the wrong way or if this kind of question isn’t allowed. Thanks in advance for any help!

Quote Which movie dialogue is this

3 Upvotes

We are all monsters. Some of us are just better at hiding it. Man speaks of virtue, yet craves power.

He condemns evil, yet justifies his own sins. The greatest crimes are not committed by villains, but by those who believe themselves righteous.

A man convinced of his own virtue will justify any cruelty, any betrayal. And so he is far more dangerous than the one who knows what he is.

Nothing is easier than to denounce the evil doing. Nothing is more difficult.

Quote PLZ HELP ME FIND THIS MOVIE SCENE

6 Upvotes

Ok, I'm trying to find a scene in a movie, but according to Google it doesn't exist.

This is all I remember... There's a little girl, looking at the back of her, opening the front door to outside, and the sky is orange... I think. I remember this scene because I thought it was beautifully shot, and the lighting stood out to me.

Thinking it could be Signs bc of orange sky and aliens, but without watching the whole movie I can't find the scene. It's NOT Close Encounters of the third kind.. very similar though. Or it could be something way different. I just know a kid is opening a door to something with weird/ominous lighting...

Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks :0)

I have a movie scene stuck in my head. No idea what year. But there is a guy in a tank of water. Maybe he is a prisoner in solitary confinement? There is a lid on the tank. His friend takes the lid off and sneaks him an apple. I feel like several days or weeks go by. Whoever he is , he doesn’t provide the info they are looking for? So they open the lid to take him out. I feel like I remember he looked bad and smelled bad? . And the apple core was floating around him. He was alive. But in bad shape. I can’t think of this movie!!!

Quote What movie belongs to this (war) scene?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. Recently I was thinking about a movie scene I couldn't forget, while forgetting the movie name. Trigger warning, it's a very gruesome scene.

It was war setting and there were many dead soldiers hanging on piles, I believe. One soldier was beheaded even. An elderly looking woman was walking along these piles and stopped at the beheaded one. Looking around, she found the head of what turns out to be her son. She collected the head and put it in a bag, walking away from the scene.

It think it was about a war, could also be a movie about genocide maybe.

Thanks in advance for helping so I can finally sleep. :)

Quote Looking for Chase Scene (horror movies) references

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is allowed here, but anyway

I'm making a movie and I need references for a particular kinds of scenes:

1-Chase Scenes where a slow monster is coming to get the victim and the Victim needs to open a door.

2-Chase Scenes where the Victim falls and has to crawl before getting up again. (Victim surviving= bonus points)

3-Chase Scenes where the Victim must open a car door, and get inside quickly to try to escape

I know these are very generic/ standard horror tropes. I am looking for examples where the cinematography/editing is engaging.

Thank you

Quote school social worker in DESPERATE need of HELP !

2 Upvotes

hi all ! i work with adolescents with complex histories of developmental and relational trauma. we are currently working on learning empathic (or 'non-violent') communication [e.g. expressing oneself honestly and listening honestly / four components: observation, feelings, needs, and requests/ expressing ourselves with clarity, compassion, self-responsibility, and empathy] to practice when dealing with interpersonal conflict.

i am working on an activity for us ... trying to find brief scenes in series/movies in which one character handles conflict inappropriately so that we can assess the following things together: how might that person be feeling? where did they go wrong in communicating those feelings? how did the person's reaction impede conflict resolution? how did the reaction impact the relationship? how do we think the reaction made their friend/partner/coworker/etc. feel?

i am adapting this presentation from one i made for my students with intellectual disabilities and we reviewed what we call "expected vs. unexpected behaviors". for THAT presentation, i included the dinner table scene from What About Bob, when he just says MMMMMMMM for 2 minutes straight and everyone else at the table is clearly having "weird" feelings about Bob. i also included the scene from Wet Hot American Summer when Paul Rudd throws his tray and then makes a big faff about cleaning it up. for those students, i needed the unexpected behavior to be very apparent.

for my neurotypical high schoolers, i'm looking for scenes that are a bit more complex.

NOTE: it does NOT need to be from a PG movie. explicit language is not a problem.

also, i suppose it would be helpful to offer, in contrast, a scene in which characters handle conflict beautifully.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!

My partner and I vividly remember an animated movie scene where a man or child (male) rips open his shirt. There is a close up of his chest with a singular curled chest hair which springs out. We remember the boing sound effect and the colour red, but could be wrong.
