Fight scene where a guy is backed up against the wall. Other guy punches at him and he dodges out of the way and the guy just punches the walls a few more times out of frustration or rage or something

A film that opens with a man on his deathbed. A nurse is reading a newspaper by his bedside and he sets fire to it. A voiceover says something to the effect that "this was the last practical joke he played. Or was it?" Turns out the potential beneficiaries of his will all have to do something embarrassing if they want the money. One man has to get caught shoplifting, a woman has to work as a maid for a middle class family. I think it was British and probably 1950s or 60s

Central European film, circa 1995-2005 I hardly remember any details except it's about a family, the entire film is set at the old patriarch's estate / farm, and the house burns down at the end.

Two guys are talking about how public transport is specifically designed by the White Man to humiliate the poor, because the bus lights up and everyone aboard is visible, and it's designed to be shameful. They might be gang members or criminals. At the end of the film, one of the guys is seen riding the bus silently and looking sad, like he tried to get rich but failed and now has to ride the bus forever. E: I remembered, it's from Crash.

I imagine we're at least 20 years away from majority acceptance (basically beyond the horizon of Boomer Death, who were propogandized so hard that they're a lost cause) but people are starting to understand that making everything begin and end with The Car just creates intractable problems that can't be solved and massively effect QoL.

Film, probably released between 1950 ant 1980. Seen on TV, around 30 years ago. Colour. It beings with an air battle between fighter planes (biplanes). After downing one enemy fighter, one of the main characters proceeds to land and paint a new kill mark. He is stopped by the wounded pilot of the downed planned, who challenges him to a fight, as he still has one working arm. In the end, they become friends and spend the rest of the movie making a living as con artists. Although now I am not sure if they were scamming, I was just a kid when I saw it on tv.

There's a scene where someone goes on a rant about Michael Collins, the guy who was in charge of the command module for Apollo 11 so he didn't get to go down to the moon. It was all about being so close to something but not being "the guy" so you are completely forgotten by the public, i think. I can't remember any thing about what movie or show it was in, I just remember someone talking very passionately about Michael Collins. It might have been Japanese but I'm not at all sure.

OK this one's driving me crazy. Some guys need disguises so they go to a guy who makes fake mustaches. He's not like a makeup guy or anything, all he does is make and sell fake mustaches, it's implied, illegally.

I'm looking for a movie or show I saw on broadcast TV like 30 years ago. Imagine a young goon at home alone on a Saturday afternoon watching Fox. Weekend daytime TV was weird back then. It was a horror story. Steven King maybe? There was a dude locked in a bathroom in a haunted house. Somehow he had a rifle and realized the only way out was through the window. He tied the rifle to his back with the clothes line, or maybe an extension cord. He climbed out into blackness. Nothing there but the light shining out from window. And weird rear end bat creatures attacked him. That poo poo freaked me out. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

My wife is looking to find the title of a movie she watched in the early 90s. She describes "an earthquake movie where a fat woman gets trapped in a car and needs to get cut in half to get her kid out." The car gets smooshed in a bridge or something. Sorry for the lovely description, but any help would be great!

Based on this IMDB review, it sounds like it might be 1990's After the Shock: https://www.imdb.com/review/rw7985642/?ref_=tturv_perm_5 Edit: According to Reddit, it's actually called Miracle on 1-800.
