This has been popping in my head for years now, so why not give it a try.

Horror movie, I think I saw it roughly 25-30 years ago. I recall a test facility blowing up / or something escaping. A scene with a woman looking through a window and I think the monster's head is looking between potted plants.
Also I somehow recall a washing machine.

Sorry I don't have much else to go on.

When I was a kid, I saw a short animated film on British TV. Was back in the early 90s, wouldn't surprise me if the film was from the 80s. It was less than an hour, maybe only half hour or 45 minutes. The film didn't have lots of dialogue, the whole story was narrated by a male voice.

It starts with about a boy who is walking through some kind of swamp or blasted wasteland and is then approached by a wizard/sorceror who tricks him into coming to his castle.

The castle has a magical escalator for stairs, and at the top of the escalator there are 2 statues of big black cats like panthers.

Once inside the castle the boy become a prisoner and slave to the wizard. He has to work in sone kind of pit, or underneath a cauldron or something like that, where he gets covered in slime. I think there might also have been a girl prisoner too, but not sure about that.

If they try to leave, the two black cat statues come to life and turn towards them and growl, so they can't go down the escalator.

At the end the boy uses the wizard's spell book to fight him and transform into various creatures; the wizard transforms as well to counter whatever the boy becomes. So the boy becomes a fly. The wizard becomes the obvious thing, a spider, to get him. The spider still has the wizard's face, but with eight black legs.

Then the boy immediately transforms back into a human, and slams the spell book shut on the spider-wizard, crushing him.

With the wizard dead the castle crumbles, the kid/kids escape. The aftermath shows one of the cat statues still briefly standing, then toppling over.

I've spent literally hours googling and looking through lists of animated films on IMDB and other places, with no luck.

Now I'm living with this kid in this family, they love me! but they treat me like a dog.

Yep, except it was Phil Hartman and the host, Miranda Richardson. The sketch took place on a set for a movie called “The Rain People.”

Why do I remember this when I can’t remember the name of half the people in my office? Brains are dumb.

2 (I think) different movies with similar scenes.

A knife is thrown at a guy who stops it with some type of power and casually bats it aside.

Second movie is a knife is frozen in midair and someone turns it around in midair so when it starts traveling again it hits the person who threw it. Turning the knife is very hard and painful for the person doing it.

I've got a two parter
1) There was a comedic series about the behind the scenes logistics of the adult film industry. All I can remember is the plot of one episode was a woman thought her husband wasn't attracted to her because he worked around porn women, but really he was insecure about his penis size being around porn men, and after he asked a porn woman to tell him if his penis was small or not, he went home and happily had sex with his wife.

This randomly reminds me of something.... Did TNG ever have them go back in history to something that hadn't happened in or before 20th century Earth history? The show takes place in, what, the 2200's? They're exploring the universe, and yet, time after time, there's a holodeck outing involving history that happened on earth, centuries before Jean Luc was born.

The "butt vacuum" thread in GBS reminded me of either a gif or scene from something where someone's butt implant was upside down, it looked like an upside down pie plate under their skin, and they flip it completely around to look normal.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? It popped into my head, and I thought "ah, yeah, the fake butt, from.... drat, where is that from? Fffffffff...." and had to ask here.

Edit: nm, looks to be a viral internet clip.

short film in color iirc, I would say no earlier than 60's, no later than 80s-early 90s

It's about a cowboy dude in his....later 20s/30s? He wants to become a rodeo rider dude and the beginning is him talking to older dudes who tell him what's what so he seems like a young buck in comparison

when he does his ride it goes slow mo to really drive home how much he's the main character and help us get in his headspace

by the time it's over after he falls the announcer says some dismal time and turns out after all that hullabaloo he didn't even place

One that came up today...

1980s type movie. Military/FBI/Government rolls in on suburban town and sets up a mobile command center. Specifically stabilizers come out of the command post at a right angle and people run up with bolt guns to bolt them into the concrete.

I feel it's something like ET, or The Manhattan Project something like that, but couldn't find it in quick searches.

A sci-fi movie probably from the 90s or early 2000s, I only remember near the end there was a naked woman that was unable to move/paralyzed by someone, and they were on a spaceship that's near a planet/Sun, and there's a guy that plans to do something to her/sacrifice her?

Trying to remember a scene from a movie or TV show

I swear it was Stargate or some kind of Egyptian themed movie but basically the king or all-powerful emperor or someone gets mad at one of his guards for some reason and like, uses his magic powers to knock the guy backwards into a wall mural and the guy gets sucked into it and becomes part of it and frozen in marble or something. Another part of me thinks it was Chronicles of Riddick or something? No clue. Does anyone remember this or am I having a Mandela Effect moment

This is the beginning of the movie, I think. You see a ballerina dancing, close-up of her feet. As she keeps dancing, you notice the tips of her shoes getting red, until she is dripping blood on the dance floor. My guess is something italian from the 80s, but that's just a wild giallo guess.
