I usually hate made-for-TV movies. There's only a handful of them that I actually like.

I've watched Lifetime movies before, but most of them are theatrical movies they've aired

Things used to be even worse than they are now. Remember when they had TV movies on ABC, CBS and NBC every Sunday night? That sucked.

Or Kellie Martin....


Anyways, I've watched Lifetime movies. Some of them are ridiculously stupid and you can usually tell what's going to happen just by the title. Like "Homeless To Harvard." Gee, I wonder what that one's about. :rolleyes:

Not this time.


"Miracle Run"

Single mom Corrine Morgan has just discovered that her seven-year-old twin boys, Steven and Phillip, are autistic. In one fell swoop, her boyfriend tells her that he can't handle the responsibility of playing parent to her kids, and the school district admits that it doesn't want to supervise the twins anymore. To top it off, she is struggling to make ends meet. While any other woman might have waved a white flag and surrendered to all these obstacles, the spirited Morgan decides to fight back — for herself and, more importantly, for her boys. Through pure determination she helps Steven and Phillip make incredible strides, surpassing everyone's expectations. Inspired by actual events, "Miracle Run" is sure to make you believe that anything is possible in your own life and that you too can tackle insurmountable odds and come out a winner. Grab your friends and family and cozy up to this moving Lifetime original film.

I love watching Lifetime movies! Especially the ones starring Donna Mills, Melissa Gilbert, Valerie Bertinelli, Stefanie Powers and Nicollette Sheridan.

So what if they aren't exactly the best written or the best acted? They've been entertaining both women and men for the last 20 years. In the Navy, my brother and some of his fellow sailors get together and watch a Lifetime movie every Friday night!

thank you!!! I thought I was the only person who can enjoy a bad made-for-tv movie on occasion, sometimes they're actually decent movies.

My mother and I watch them as if they are Oscar-caliber masterpieces lol. My absolute favorite is "The People Next Door," about a couple who kidnaps the children of a single mother who moves next door them.

My friend and I were looking forward to that movie for so long and when we finally saw it, we were so disappointed. It was so...blah. There was no seducing or anything. lol. The title and previews were misleading. The movie was okay but I think it could have been better.

One of my favourite movies I watched on Lifetime was in 1997 .. A movie called "On the egde of innocence"

I have watched a few others also But that One I remember well..... (I have it recorded from analogue cable! (Lifetime)) I also have it on the offiical PAL tape.. (Converted to NTSC so I can watch it)

The one from Lifetime SOUNDS WARMER but the video on the official tape looks better.. (Not as flat)

The only Lifetime movie I've probably ever watched wasn't on Lifetime itself and it was the Grumpy Cat Christmas movie lol.

When they show films I like watching such as Dirty Teacher, Identity Theft of a Cheerleader, Dying to be a Cheerleader, and a few others I'll record them, mostly ones in which men are not stereotyped as rapists, predators, etc., etc., etc.

I watch Lifetime all the time! Love their movies about real life events and fiction based on real life things going on. Saturday night is the best! They show new movies that night, almost always they are on the edge of your seat , nail biter movies !:eek: Drama,crime, mystery , terror! My favorite genre for movies and books !;):cool:

My mom used to watch Lifetime movies sometimes and I always thought they were weird but some of them were actually great. Another thing is that some of the Lifetime movies had weird titles like My Crazy Sister or Nightmare Mother-In Law or Where Is My Baby? and it seemed that Brooke Burns always starred in hit Lifetime movies and with her as the star Lifetime movies became a hit. But I think Lifetime's most profitable movies are their Christmas movies because they seem to score high ratings for Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network every year

I remember when Lifetime used to do fun game shows to watch during the day such as Supermarket Sweep (the 1990-95 version), but now it seems that except for Supermarket Sweep rerunning on Buzzr, all of their other game shows have faded into obscurity now.

Oh, I also watched the occasional Intimate Portrait (biographies about famous ladies) as well.
