This is an odd request, since I'm fairly certain this is from an obvious movie or TV show or multiple movies and TV shows but I can't remember which.

Some absentminded or eccentric inventor invents a button or tool that is unknown what it does, even to the inventor. I believe it might even jsut be a small box with a red button on it.

Doesn't sound exactly like what you are talking about, but The Box was a recent film that had a similar premise.

I got one that's been bugging me for years, I've tried in other places with no success so either this is a movie hardly anyone has seen or I'm imagining it from a dream I had or some poo poo...

The only two scenes I remember are the opening where a boy is watching a woman across the street undress when a guy, I think a postman or a police officer, go up and starts making out with her and stuff.

The other scene has the kid with his family driving somewhere when he looks out the back window at the car behind them, a guy is driving and a woman is in the passenger seat with a baby, I think she's breast feeding it when they start arguing and he starts punching her and blood splatters on their windshield.

Like I said, I'm not even sure if these are from a movie, or different movies or just stuff I thought I saw in a movie, any help would be awesome.

As Useless Rabbit said, sounds like The Box, but it was also the premise of a 1980s Twilight Zone episode "Button, Button" - mysterious guy visits couple (who have money problems), gives them a box with a single button on it, if they press it they get a large sum of money but someone they don't know will die. They spend the episode deciding whether or not to push the button.

Ending details in case it might help you figure out if this is it or not:
They finally press the button, almost immediately there's a knock at the door and the guy with their cash, and he takes the box from them, to give it to someone somewhere else in the world who doesn't know them. Dun dun dun!

Here's one:

Movie has a man driving somewhere accompanied by a woman who it turns out is rather crazy. The only visual I can remember is the fact that when he realized she was crazy, she was staring at him with the most incredible green eyes I have ever seen.

(I really want to know who the actress was more than anything. It's an old movie, but I have no idea how old.)

I saw this movie during a busride in Mexico, but can't remember the name. It looked to be made during the last decade.

It's set a Norse'ish setting. Our protagonist sees a meteor strike the earth close to his village, and he goes to investigate. He meets a blonde woman there who's come to investigate too, and they have sex. He travels to a town and is noticed by what I believe are a princess and a prince. The blonde woman gets there too, the princess marries our protagonist and the blonde woman marries the prince, but there's huge drama over who loves whom. Both our males head into battle, they die, and the blonde woman kills herself over our protagonist. It was somewhat challenging to follow the plot though, as there was no sound.

e: \/\/\/\/\/ It is! Thanks for the quick reply.

My girlfriend was channel-surfing earlier today and came across some thriller starring Jeff Bridges as a poli-sci professor at GWU who thinks his neighbor is some kind of terrorist from Missouri? After about the fourth dramatic close-up of someone's eye we decided it was crap and turned it off, but they never showed the title nor did I catch Bridges' character's name. I think it's out of the early/mid-90s because he looked a fair deal younger than in The Big Lebowski. I know I said it sucked but I'm curious.

It's old, like in 70's or early 80's, I bet. But I have nothing other than amazing green eyes, guy doing an 'out west in the desert' driving type thing, and realizing the woman he is traveling with is psychopathic and has killed someone.

I mean amazing, like "Cover of National Geographic Afghani lady" amazing. Except green.

Meg Foster has CRAZY blue eyes in They Live. Even if it's not the movie you're thinking of, it should satisfy your need for a movie with a weirdly bright-eyed chick.

She has those eyes in every movie she is in. It's one of her defining features.

They Live is now an AMC classic movie btw. They showed more of the ending sequance then most other network apperances did. I suspect more apperances of They Live on tv now.

This is almost definitely a famous movie of some sort, but damned if I can remember what it is, based on the dim memory of it.

I want to say it's a sports movie, if only because the climax features either a ball being caught or a goal being made, or something like that.

After the final goal/out/whatever, somebody in the stands (may be multiple people) immediately rises to their feet, shouting "YEAH" or "WAAAAAAHOO" or something similar, while the camera revolves in circles around the hero who just did something awesome, whatever it was, and really, really triumphant music plays. For some reason, I keep thinking it sounds like the theme music from Jurassic Park (which the movie is not).

This is vague as poo poo, and probably describes a ton of movies, but it's the best I've got.

True. It seems like its almost easy to make good sports movies. Rudy, Hoosier, Miracle, Cool Runnings, Slapshot, Major League, Field of Dreams, Raging Bull, Brian's Song, White Men Can't Jump. All movies I enjoyed greatly, not to mention childhood nostalgia making me remember The Sandlot, Little Big League, Rookie of the Year, and Angels in the Outfield fondly.

Course, I guess you can easily make a list of poo poo sports movies too.

This might be a collage of movie memories but bear with me.

Setting is medieval. A woman is executed, possibly in front of her child. She is choked. I think there's also a public burning later on. But maybe she's choked and then burned. I think an old lady screams bloody vengeance upon those burning her. So vague...

I saw this as a kid in the early nineties. I also remember a bald man that looks like Christopher Lloyd in the Adam's Family; he might be the main antagonist. And a pale woman that witnesses the executions as a child somehow gets revenge. Don't trust these plot memories though, they might be half made up.

I definitely remember an important female character being made mute by means of tongue mutilation or something like that.

The last vague memory is someone (the bald man?) being bricked into a wall of whatever dungeon of sorts he used to function out of.

Ok, after reading all that I feel like Steven Wright going to the video store and asking to rent movies that were actually dreams he had. I'm pretty sure I saw this stuff though.

I know this can be a lot of movies, but the first thing that came to mind was the ending of The Replacements, with the final touchdown and the circling camera. The triumphant music is the Wallflowers version of Heroes.
