“Don’t tell me! It’s on the tip of my tongue!” That feeling of being unable to locate the word you have in mind can be extremely frustrating. You know exactly what you’re looking for, but for some reason, your mind is hitting a wall. And trying to describe what you’re searching for can make the experience even more excruciating. The suggestions a search engine provides are nowhere near accurate, and your friends may be of little help when trying to complete your sentence.
Sometimes, what you really need is to enlist the help of kind strangers online. And thankfully, there are communities out there like Tip of My Tongue and What’s The Word on Reddit that are eager to assist you. Below, you’ll find some of the funniest posts from these communities, pandas. And we suggest trying to guess the word before reading the answer; it makes for a pretty fun game!

#42 Please Help, This Is Driving Me Insane
ovoduckman:
Hey guys so I got a bit of an interesting post here. I was incarcerated for 2 years and during lock ups at night time the guards would occasionally leave the t.v. on for us to watch from our cells.
One night I couldn't sleep and was up at 2 a.m. and I decided to go look out my cell window to see what was on. I ended up watching a whole psychedelic type of movie which I would really like to watch again but as I was in jail for so long I forgot the name of it. I'll do my best to describe it, there were no big list actors I know of so I'll be describing scenes from the movie and hopefully we can figure it out.
Ok, so I remember a scene showing a large white building type thing with a random door high up on the side of it.
Another scene was showing clips of different people introducing themselves with the same name.
There was a clip of a woman collecting film reels and trying to put them in the proper order.
A scene of a red dot (I think from a laser pointer) pointing at a image on a projector screen of waves on the beach hitting the sand.
A scene of a call center that seemed to take people to important places where certain events happen. It kinda seemed like they were re-creating scenarios so as not to mess w the space time continuum.
I also believe there was a scene where someone was in the tall white building walking through the halls but I'm unsure if I'm thinking of someone else on that one.
Other than that, that's everything I remember. I'd really appreciate any help finding out what this movie was called. Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes to finding this out with me :)

The only scene is remember is where 3 or 4 kids are chained to the top of a stone pit. Water starts filling the pit from the bottom, and after a time skip the kids are skeletons.
The movie might be based on Peter Pan.

#45 Girl Who Wears All Black” (Kids Show?)

My 4 year old is having a meltdown because he wants to watch “The girl who wears all black - black shoes and black socks and black clothes”. She also broke her picture? Picture frame maybe? Not sure if this is a TV show, movie, or YouTube video. Any help would be appreciated! He’s pretty sharp so if I show him your suggestions he’ll say yes or no right away.
Thanks so much!

#46 I Work With Kids With Autism And One Of My Kiddos Has Been Requesting The Same Thing Over And Over All Day. I Have No Idea What He’s Talking About And I Can’t Find It Anywhere. It’s “Tacha, No Eyes”
Suitcase-:
This happens pretty frequently, a kid will request something and I have absolutely no idea what he or she is asking for but most of the time they let it go pretty quickly (including this kiddo). But he’s been very fixated on it and he keeps spelling “tacha” to me (but that doesn’t mean he’s spelling it correctly). I googled it for him and let him look at the top few results, i put it in YouTube, IMDB, anything i could think of with no luck. He also sometimes says “tacha, she has no eyes” if that is helpful. SOS, what is my little guy looking for??

#47 I Have Scoured The Internet For Years To No Avail. Please Help Me Find This Movie
Mangadditor:
I watched this movie about 18 years ago. I have searched high and low for it. I've pretty much given up hope that I will ever find it and this is literally my last effort before I give up for good. I was pretty young when I watched it but I'll list what I remember of the movie.
~I know it was a pretty old movie but it was in colour.
~ There was a king and queen who had been trying unsuccessfully to bear children.
~ I'm not sure what exactly happened, but some old woman told them that they should bury some fish bones by a tree and that would be the answer to their problem. (I think the woman was actually a witch or something who had been treated well by the King and Queen, and so she was repaying their kindness)
~Shortly afterwards, the Queen fell pregnant with twins (they had buried 2 fish bones) and two swords appeared where the bones had been buried by the tree.
~ The twin Princes grew up and it turned out that the swords were linked to them somehow. There was a thermometer-like bar thingy that would go down whenever they were in trouble (It would only work for the twin it was linked to).
My memory gets super fuzzy from here on. I don't remember what the story was actually about. I do remember that the twins ended up in the mountains fighting someone that looked exactly like them (a third Imposter) who was trying to convince one twin that he was actually his twin brother. The swords ended up playing a role in determining the correct twin and the Imposter kind of phased into the mountain.
That's it. As I said, I've given up hope that I'll ever find this movie, but I have nothing to lose by posting it here.

#49 Male Partner Of Protagonist Dies Choking In His Vomit Mid-Sleep, After A Night Of Drinking. Protagonist Hallucinates That He Is Alive. The Viewers Find Out That Partner Is Dead In The End When Protagonist Is Sleeping With A Rotting Corpse
Hamsomy3:
Additional Info after further thinking:
Most of the screen time is on the Protagonist (and maybe her hallucinated Boyfriend? I can’t remember if his presence was implied or shown)
Ending has an elderly? couple, neighbour? driving up asking the police what’s up because there are police tapes? That is when it cuts to sleeping with the rotting corpse.
Might not have been on Netflix
Even further thinking:
Most of the movie happens in the house of the protagonist and corpse. However, I can’t remember if they own it or rented it.
The show is not very sci-fi-esque. It seems like a very normal show about a couple getting along (all the couple things good and bad), until the reveal at the end.
The viewers mid-way through the movie see a silhouette of the male partner vomiting in his bed. However, it cuts away without letting on that he chokes and die.

#50 A Movie No One Believes Exists Except For Me
FakeMccnotmyrealname:
If the Geedas thing can get solved, and the blue pinhead guy can get solved, surely my conundrum can get solved.
When I was a kid I had this Halloween movie I don't remember the title of but I remember the aesthetics and plot vividly because it was one of those things my monkey child brain wanted to consume constantly; I must have watched it 1000 times as a kid. This would have been early 2000's, no later than 2002 when I was watching this movie, I couldn't have been older than 6.
The plot of this animated kid's movie surrounded this scooby-doo style gang of kids who were reading some book about local lore and myths or something to that effect and see this castle in the book where monsters are supposedly locked away and pretty much just go "hey! that's near by! let's check it out!" So they go to the castle and find 4 doors; 3 sealed, and one broken open. The teens start exploring the castle when a mad scientist inhabiting the castle sees them on a security camera and opens the doors freeing dracula, frankenstein, and the wolf man as a security force to eliminate the scooby-doo gang. High jinks ensue as the monsters clumsily chase the kids around the house all while this strange, floppy eared, burlap rag doll is sabotaging the castle. The mosnters fail to catch the kids, the floppy eared rag doll makes the castle self destruct, the scooby-doo gang escapes in the nick of time while the raggedy doll chases the scientist through the crumbling castle as the gang drives away.
The movie was definitely animated. I seem to remember everyone looking similar to troll dolls but I know they didn't belong to the brand; this was some straight to vhs crap movie for sure. The characters were drawn with that type of squat body and puffy cheeks style, though. With the exception of the rag doll, which I remember being more proportionate and out of place looking.
Something makes me feel this movie was not made in the U.S. It could be from anywhere honestly, but I think it might be European based on the art style. It had a very Swiss style about it from what I remember. I don't think it was an exclusive of any one retailer. In fact, I think my parents just saw a vhs with three goofy looking monsters on it and thought my dumb monkey brain that was always playing Medievil would love it.
I've been trying to find this movie online for years but I have made no progress. I thought my parents would remember it from how much I watched it but they just give me the crazy eyes when I describe it. My younger brother reacts in much the same way.
If I saw it I would know it in an instant, I never saw anything else like to this day.

#58 I'm Looking For A Japanese Film Where The Whole Familys Having An Affair
maesbox:
Need help finding the name of this movie?
I watched it on Netflix back in 2014/15. I believe it was a Japanese film. The plot involves a Father, Mother, Son, and Daughter who are all having affairs, save for the son. The father is sleeping with one of his students (who is the son's crush), the mother is having an affair with her photography teacher, and the daughter is having an affair with a DJ. The mother, the daughter, and the student get pregnant. The daughters boyfriend, who is a gynecologist for the mother, congratulates the family on the mother being pregnant. This leads to the mother letting her husband believe it is his son and the daughter lets the gynecologist believe shes pregnant with his kid. The student, who the father got pregnant, decides to marry the son in order to keep it all in the family. The movie ends with all of them taking a picture together with their kids. Supposedly, the secrets still kept that all the kids are someone else's.

#60 Most Terrifying Movie Of My Childhood

So I remember three main points from that movie:
Main character is at a hospital and a lady on a wheelchair passes next to him and when he looks at her her smile is HUGE like her whole face has been mutilated.
One character stands in his/her bedroom then hears his/her mother outside screaming and a thick pool of blood is seen coming below the door.
Guy finds himself in the body of a spider in a sink (human head, spider body). Someone comes and opens the faucet he gets drained. Next he wakes up in a place with not so deep water, but now he is a super big spider and chases something.

The first scene sounds like it's from Hellraiser: Inferno
