Maybe early 2000s?

There's this from Hot Shots: Part Deux, but I feel like I remember something closer to what you're describing, but can't quite place it right now.

I thought this too as I was thinking about it, only had the first two on dvd to check though. Could be goldmember.
I'll check out My Blue Heaven at the dvd store and see if that was it.

Also thanks for making me want to watch hot shots again. Never seen them too many times.

Ha ha ha loving ha. It turns out it was a memory of an Englishman in a cheesy 80s American thriller and not a gangster film I never would've remembered this.

Thanks a lot, that's solved that mystery.

I don't think this is literally the movie you're looking for but I swear something very similar happened in one of the Hot Shots! movies. (Edit; woops, beaten)

I have a mental image of a guy putting a pill in his mouth and either biting it or cracking his neck - either way there's a noise to emphasise that he's taken it. I think he's a villain and he maybe takes the pill out of a metal case but I can't be certain.

I'm pretty sure it's an action film and probably one I've seen a load of times but I'm drawing a blank.

I saw this animated film when I was a kid on TV, basically it was about a girl who lived in the sewers with her mother and father, all they had was a bed they all would sleep in together. She went on some kind of weird adventure one night going to different parties, one was of a bunch of rich people. In the end she collapses of cold or hunger, and people find her and bring food to her family in the end.

What I remember: the short film is set in Taiwan (?), about two folks who are sorta/kinda romantically involved. The little bridge over the highway where they met is being torn down due to the rapid pace of construction in the city.

The title is something like "The Walking Bridge Has Disappeared" or "The Disappearing Sky Bridge", but for the life of me I cannot remember exactly what, and no amount of Googling has yielded results.

A Christmas movie they used to show on TV all the time in the late 80s/early 90s (may have been made for TV). All I remember is a teeneager dressed in a cheap angel outfit leading a bunch of poor/diwntrodden kids to "heaven" which was an old clubhouse recreation center type place with a neon "HEAVEN" sign on it.

A TV show from probably the 90s that was shocking video footage of shocking things - this was like a really tame Faces of Death since it was on in the middle of the day. One of the videos was of an arsonist admiring a building on fire and another was two teenagers breaking into someone's house and completely destroying it - knocking out walls and smashing windows and the whole thing is accompanied by a dramatic voice-over that let's us know what happened to the arsonist or the teenage vandals.

I'm looking for an indie film that I saw on Netflix maybe 3-4 years ago.

It was about a woman who moved to Oregon (Eugene I think) with her husband. All of the husband's friends live there so he's very happy, but the wife is very introverted and awkward and does not get along. Soon she gets gets a divorce and tries to make it on her own, so she starts working at an ice cream store and meets a new goth friend.

The most striking thing I remember was at the beginning, which began with a flashforward where the wife wipes period blood on a lady at the supermarket.

Anyone remember this film?

A buddy of mine had a hate-love obsession with this movie for a while, but he's asleep. I can't remember the title, but I'm sure he will. So, the answer is forthcoming!

Edit: He woke up. It's called Rid of Me!

YESSSSSS thanks for this! I thought the lead did a great job in this movie, but she hasn't seemed to land anything since. I was thinking about this because today I saw her play an extra on an episode of Portlandia. Hopefully she gets her big break one day.

I was just rewatching The Man Who Fell To Earth, as I'm sure a lot of people are, and the song "Try To Remember" is on the soundtrack and it just made me think of some other instance of this song being used but I can't think where. The wiki page mentions The Muppet Show but that's not it, I was thinking The Simpsons but that brings up nothing and a lot of googling has been fruitless as I feel searching for "try to remember" gives too many varying results and it's driving me nuts hearing the line "Try to remember the kind of September ..." in my head.

I feel this may be a case of me associating things in my head that had no actual association outside me.

Although not exhaustive, IMDB lists soundtrack credits, and will include the name of the song if entered. Maybe it's one of these?

Edit: Misread your post, realized you probably already did that. Still, apparently there's a film version of The Fantasticks and it was originally written for the play, maybe that's it. Seems to have a poo poo ton of covers too.

SIGH
I remember seeing this when I was a kid, I'd say late 90s to mid 2000s. I only saw this one scene, peeking in on what my dad was watching from the kichen.

A pimp or possibly a john drives up to a woman on the side of the road. He says something like "Hey baby, how you doin'?" She leans in through the window and says in a slurred voice "I feel like poo poo." Then she vomits a large amount of blood and possibly more solid gristle gore chunks into the car. The driver of the car freaks out and drives off.

For the longest time I was sure the movie was Dracula 2000, but I recently watched the whole thing for the first time, and that scene was nowhere to be found. So now I'm stumped. I might be wrong about the blood, it may have just been regular vomit. But I don't think so because I'm pretty sure the blood is what made it stick in my memory. Any ideas?

A bad thriller from I'm going to say the late 90s starring Lance Henriksen that begins with him having sex with a woman who is then found dead the next morning and the police question whether it was a rapist because the last person who had sex with her wore a condom. Googling "Lance Henriksen rapist" and "Lance Henriksen condom" isn't as helpful as you might think and imdb lists the motherfucker as having 221 acting credits. It may be Profile for Murder which looks like a straight to video erotic thriller but that's such an obscure film it has no wikipedia page so I'm not sure.

EDIT: you know what, having read a few user reviews of the awful Profile for Murder it turns out that's it.

I think it's a 90s movie maybe late 80s.

I think a group of kids go for a hike/weekend in the woods. The leader is a hardass but still the same age (maybe a few years older) and the other kids in the group set him up to fall off a rope bridge I believe. He break his leg(?) and ends up stuck. I think their is a seen where one of the kids breaks the 4th wall and and has an egg falling off the bridge or a cliff to show what will happen.

This is all I can remember and I may be mixing movies together that I saw when I was 6. It's been bugging me so hopefully someone can help. I can't find anything trying to put together words on Google.
