There are 3 movies I remember only clips of, and I'd love to discover where they are from!
I distinctly remember watching those movies on Nickelodeon, but I don't think they were made specifically for the network.
I watched them as a kid during the late 90s and early 2000s. I do not remember watching them on any specific blocks, but since I was pretty young it had to be something that would air during the day or afternoon (with the exception of the last movie, as I indicate down below).
Movie 1 - Live action, most likely made in the late 80s / early 90s;
I watched this during the day/afternoon in the late 90s / early 2000s.
The first scene I remember has a young girl sitting in a classroom. Sitting in the desk in front of her, there is another girl, and she has her long hair tied into a braid that runs behind her chair, dangling in front of the protagonist. The protagonist then takes a pair of scissors and cuts right through the middle of her classmate's braid, chopping it off.
The next scene I remember happened shortly after this. The protagonist is sitting on a series of steps leading into the porch of a suburban house. She is playing with one of those paper fortune tellers. There is an older woman sitting with her, playing along, and she picks a color. The girls talk about something related to the concept of truth; I think the little girl says something about how she learned you must always tell the truth, to which the older woman responds with some wisdom on not being mean (probably in reference to the braid-cutting incident). A car then pulls over, and I think one of the girls gets in, but I don't remember if it was the young one or the older one.
The scenes seemed to be set in cold weather; the people were rather bundled up. It was not snowing, however, even though it looked like winter.
This is all I can remember.
MOVIE 1: Harriet the spy
Movie 2 - Live action, most likely made in the 90s / very early 2000s.
I watched this during the day/afternoon in the early 2000s.
There was a girl, most likely a teenager, in a high-school setting. I think she had blond hair.
This girl sometimes had flashbacks of things that happened in that very same school during the 70s. In those flashbacks, she saw a brown-haired girl named (I think) Julie. She wore stereotypically "hippie" clothes. In one of the flashbacks, she appears to be involved in some sort of argument with a boy her age. Julie's locker has a decal with her name on it, written in a typical 70s font.
Back in the present day, the protagonist walks to a locker in the school and sees the faded remains of Julie's decal, proving that she did go to that school and that the flashbacks are real.
At least, this is how I remember it.
SHOW 2: "Locker 22" from Are You Afraid of the Dark
Movie 3 - CGI, most likely made in the very late 90s / early 2000s.
This movie aired at night. I remember begging my parents to let me stay up and watch it. Maybe it aired on other time slots too, but I remember it premiering at night.
I watched it around 2004 or 2005.
This CGI movie involved some sort of airborne society. It followed the story of a group of kids who are trying to... survive, I think?
The look of this movie was very orange/red and industrial. Most of the buildings were made of metal.
The kids flew around in paragliders a lot.
In one particular scene, one of the kids dies. His name was something like "Mica" or "Mikka". The others release his dead body wrapped in a fabric sheet into the sky with a parachute as a sort of burial.
It had a very 2000s look to the animation.
Ironically enough, this is the one movie I watched the most of (I actually sat down and watched the whole thing, while with the other examples I only saw bits and pieces) but it was the one I enjoyed the least. As a kid, I thought it was overly dark, and even a little boring.
Note: this movie is NOT Shadow Raiders, and most likely not Skyland.
There is a chance the scenes actually come from series and not movies, but the images in my brain have a rather "movie-y" feel to them.
I appreciate all the help I can get! Please let me ease my brain so I can rest in peace. All I want is to remember the names of the movies so I can look for them again and go "haha, I remember that scene!"
