Guess the Movie!

(Not sure if this should be here or in the media section. Move it if you need to)

A little different to the "Guess the Song!" thread. The idea here is to describe, briefly, a scene from a movie and see who can guess it. The scene, however, should not be an iconic one, as that would obviously give the game away too early. Try to pick movies that are not too obscure, that most people will have a chance of having seen or at least know about.

You're free to give hints if you wish. Please don't use names - either of people or places - as that would also give things away. So, for instance, a scene from say Blade Runner might be described thus: "In the pouring rain a hovercar descends down into the city and a man gets out." Obscure enough not to give this scene away (though that is a little iconic: I'm just using it as an example) but not too obscure that nobody will know what the hell you're talking about.

One question per post, if possible try to let someone else have a go before you try again, though this is by no means a rule. Try to make your scene something that can't be discovered via Google or YouTube. No matter how well you try, the scene may not be specific enough and in that case, players should ask questions to try to narrow it down, and unlike the other thread, you're not restricted to a yes or no answer. Anyone can of course guess at any time. Whoever gets it right goes next, big surprise.

So, to start off, try this:

A woman falls but a man is afraid to help her up, and looks away.

You don't have to make threads, you know.

What is the name of the movie?

Don't know as I never saw it. I'd say no.

I actually do, you know. I'm like a shark: if I don't keep making threads I die.
The name of the movie is Fred.

Is it one of those schlocky movies that you expect everyone to know because you watched it growing up?
