I quite enjoy a good tv movie.My favourites are She Fought Alone with Tiffani Thiessen and Brian Austin Green,and A killer among friends,also starring Tiffani Thiessen.
Just wondering what tv movies everyone has seen,and enjoyed or hated?

The remake of Gypsy with Bette Midler was a TV Movie.

I thought The Man with 3 Wives was good.

Some of The Stepford Wives sequels are ok too- entertaining for TV movies.

TV Movie I hated- the remake of 'The Odd Couple' with Peter Falk, Woody Allen and Sarah Jessica Parker was horrible.

Anything with Bonnie Bedelia, Marcia Cross, or Judith Light.

Dreamer of Oz w/ John Ritter, little corny but quote cute
Mrs. Santa Claus w/ Angela Landsbury, so corny but a really sweet christmas movie

I think the Sabrina movies (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Sabrina Goes To Rome, Sabrina Down Under) are entertaining

"Roswell" which I saw aired on CTV a few years ago was pretty good. It's based on the 1947 crash in New Mexico.

"Anne Frank: The Whole Story"- which premiered on ABC in 2001, and starred Hannah Taylor Gordon and Ben Kingsley.

I agree. She's done some really great TV movies.

Belair · 12-13-2004, 09:47 PM

I forgot to mention Unwed Father with Brian Austin Green and Nicholle Tom (Maggie on the Nanny)
That was a real great movie.

There are several really, really good ones out there. Off the top of my head:

Rasputin
It
Cinderella (Rodgers & Hammerstein, any of the 3 versions)
Emma
Mansfield Park (better than the remake, by far)
Gulliver's Travels
Me and My Shadows: The Judy Garland Story
The Hunchback
Sunday in the Park With George
Mrs. Santa Claus
Into the Woods
Joseph

And don't forget the miniseries

The Thorn Birds
Pride and Prejudice
The Buccaneers
Vanity Fair

And of course there are the crummy ones:

The Music Man
Annie
Merlin
Prince Charming
The Shining
Carrie
Salem's Lot
Every Danielle Steel movie ever made (except the 2 that I own

)

'A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story', with Meridith Baxter Birney. The true story of a woman who killed her husband and his new wife after he left her. Meridith was terrific.

'Small Sacrifices' with Farah Fawcett. True story of Diane Downs who shot her three children, killing one.

'The Burning Bed' with Farah Fawcett about spousal abuse.

'Helter Skelter'. True story of Charles Manson and his fellow nutjobs.

'Fatal Vision'. True story of Jeffrey MacDonald, Green Beret physician, who killed his pregnant wife and two young daughters.

'Something About Amelia' starring Ted Danson about incest and child molestation.

'Band of Brothers'. An HBO Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks production about Easy Company in WWII.

A Woman Scorned was a great movie! That woman was nuts.

Penny Lane · 12-14-2004, 10:28 AM

I have to vote for "Duel"(1971?) which was Steven Spielberg's first film! It is great!

Also "The Legend Of Lizzie Bordon" starring Elizabeth Montgomery

I also like any movie starring Patty Duke or Mare Winningham

I love that movie. Superb psychological thriller. Dennis Weaver was great in that role.
