Movies about Sofa
What movie has a sofa time machine and a flying bike?
I watched a movie in, I think, 2009 or 2010. I think it was from the 1990’s or 2000’s. It was a time travel movie. In this movie I think the time machine is fixed in a three-seater sofa, and three people including a woman are traveling in time. A person is following them on a flying bike to try to catch them. At one point they’re caught by soldiers, and a king orders them to be burned with their sofa, but they use it to escape again. What movie is this?

Welcome to Science Fiction & Fantasy! Please try to add anything that may help identification. What country was it likely from? What language? Are there any other plot details you remember or descriptions of scenes or characters you can give? Anything at all? Feel free to edit any additional details into the question.

@GovindChoudhary: Can you provide more details, possibly by contrasting your movie against the two suggestions so far to indicate what is and is not there?

Here’s a film about time-travellers on a lůžko (not a sofa, but you did say «sofa bed» in the duplicate question), but no flying bike as far as I can tell.

It is most likely the German spoof movie Traumschiff překvapení.
It parodies a great number of sci-fi movies and TV shows, especially those popular in Germany.
The heroes, the Queen, the Captain of the Překvapení, his Science Officer and the Rogue (named Rock, a taxi driver) use a pohovka in order to travel through time to prevent a planetary invasion in their own time. The sofa dělá indeed seat only three, which becomes a plotpoint, since they are overburdened and at first crash in the wrong time and are forced to leave one of their own behind in the end.
During their odyssey through history, The bad guy chases them on a moped:

@FuzzyBoots Me too, I mean, seriously, how many time-travelling sofas can there be ;D

I’m not sure that they using sofa as a time machine but in a scene all of three travellers caught by soldiers of a king and then king orders to burn them with their sofa. But when soldiers goes to burn them they were disappear I mean went to any other place by using their time machine. So I think that they using this sofa as time machine..

@GovindChoudhary That is actually their first stop, the king is William the Last and they vanish from the stakes (which is were the king had put the sofa with them on it, in order to burn them alive), because he wanted to marry the queen.

Definitely Traumshiff, the only other Time traveling sofa was Hitch Hikers guide to the Galaxy, at the end of the Tv series, they are stranded in prehistoric earth. but the books go on further, Arthur and Ford escape on a time traveling Sofa, and end up on the Lords Cricket Ground in London. But it was never made in to a series.

This is Traumschiff Surprise – Periode 1, a german comedy and star Trek/Hvězdné války spoof from 2004.
The Sofa is their time machine, the persons travelling are Captain Kork, Spuck, taxi driver Rock, and Queen Metapha. They land in medieval times and nearly get burned before they can reactivate their time machine.
They are chased by Jens Maul on his time machine hover bike.

I’ll look for more details, but is it possible that you’re thinking of the 2005 independent film Vyzvedávám Codyho? The time machine is in a recliner, not a sofa, and it’s just one guy traveling through time. And there’s no flying bike. but that’s the closest match I’ve found so far.
From the Rotten Tomatoes summary:
A small-time Vancouver drug dealer traverses through time in a desperate bid to alter the grim fate of his comatose girlfriend in this bittersweet time travel fantasy from first-time director David Ray. Art (Jay Baruchel) is a petty drug slinger whose relationship with girlfriend and addict Cody (Sarah Lind) is starting to get serious. After Art arrives home one evening to find Cody overdosed on the floor and drifting into a coma, he seeks refuge at the home of eccentric junk collector Harvey (Jim Byrnes) — an old street friend who claims that the ratty recliner he has recently acquired is actually a cleverly disguised time machine. Immediately dismissing his friend’s outlandish claim but desperate to fulfill his promise that he will always be there to protect her, Art collapses in the chair and wishes himself back to the time before Cody became addicted to drugs. Upon awakening in another time, Art realizes that the chair is in fact the real deal and embarks on a desperate mission to change the future and save Cody’s life.
Sofa, movie and throw
These days, when it is so cold outside, the «Sofa, movie and throw» plan seem much more attractive than at other times of the year. A great majority of our designs are usually located in the living room in front of the television, but we have also seen the rise of cinema rooms. Spaces with large screens to recreate a cinema at home, on a small scale. These home cinema rooms are usually equipped with a good sound system and a high-quality projector, but above all, with a very comfortable sofa. Some time ago, this type of «cinemas» at home (as seen on images on the web) were characterised by having several relax armchairs, in such a way that every user sat on their own chair. We have noticed that the trend has changed in these types of homes that use one of their rooms as a cinema room. Many people like to lie on the sofa to watch their favourite movie, and nothing better than creating a generously sized sofa to be able to sit or lie down as they wish surrounded by their family. Another advantage of these spaces furnished with sofas instead of relaxing armchairs, is that, when watching horror or suspense films it is good to have someone close. The Arianne Love sofa is the protagonist in a large number of these “new” home theatre rooms, with different variations in the choice of modules, sometimes combining modules with footstools placed as a bed, some other times using chaise longues combined with small footstools, but all the combinations have as common denominator that they favour that every member of the family can lie down on the sofa. This trend, although it has the handicap of the logistical and economic difficulty of allocating a space in the home just to watch movies, it also makes us dream and imagine ourselves lying on one of those movie theatres at home.

How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days (Netflix)
Yes, you’ve probably watched it before, but what’s the harm in sticking this reliable gem on again? Think of the love fern.
Swoon over Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson’s romance in this 2003 comedy that sees the two trick each other into falling truly, madly, deeply, head over heels in love for the sake of their individual work projects.
You’ve Got Mail (Netflix)
A classic. Has there ever been a better rom-com pairing than Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan?
Two people fall in love over AOL, a tale as old as time. But the catch is that they don’t realise that offline, they are independent children’s bookstore owner Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox, the heir to a big chain of bookstores — and rivals.
If for some reason you’re not feeling You’ve Got Mail, why not try When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless In Seattle. You’re welcome.
Two Weeks Notice (Netflix)
We love Hugh Grant in a romantic comedy and this tale of two opposites comes with Sandra Bullock, who we also love in a romantic comedy.

It’s a decade old but still manages to make us laugh every time. Partially inspired by The Scarlet Letter, Easy A is narrated by Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone), a 17-year-old girl living in California.
When she lies to her best friend about going on a date and sleeping with him, the lie is overheard and soon spreads across the school. It’s got the sweetest, 80s inspired ending.

The Hustle stars Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson as two women who set out to con an internet millionaire.
A lot goes wrong.

Ocean’s 8 is the heist movie you never knew you needed. It’s got a brilliant cast made up of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Awkwafina.
The film follows the group of women led by Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), Danny Ocean’s sister, who plan a heist at the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Between The Hustle and Ocean’s 8, Anne Hathaway has really proved her comedy chops.

It quickly reached cult-status. Watch it for the clothes, the soundtrack, the catchphrases. Watch it again if you haven’t already.
Sixteen Candles (Netflix)
If you’re a fan of the 80s rom-coms, this is one to watch. Directed by John Hughes, who is also responsible for other classics such as The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Pretty In Pink, it stars Molly Ringwald and Michael Schoeffling.
Samantha ‘Sam’ Baker is shocked when her family forgets her sixteenth birthday because her older, vain sister Ginny is getting married the next day. It’s a bittersweet teen comedy.
13 Going on 30 (Netflix)
Thirteen-year-old Jenna (Shana Dowdeswell) has had enough of being an adolescent. When she finds herself alone in the ‘make-out closet’ during a party, she closes her eyes and wishes she could just skip all the awkward bits and wake up as an adult — 30, flirty and thriving.

Musicals/Music
Mamma Mia The Movie (Netflix)
Based on the 1999 musical of the same name, this is one of those times where the film was just as big a success. The story is based on ABBA songs and Meryl Streep absolutely wows as Donna with her singing.

This Barbra Streisand classic is where Don’t Rain On My Parade came from. It was the highest grossing film of 1968 and it scored eight Oscar nominations, including one for Best Actress.
