Just to name a few...

Son of Sam - Summer of Sam directed by Spike Lee
Alcatraz - Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - same title 1969 film with Newman & Redford
Mothman- The Mothman Prophecies with Richard Gere

Sure there are plenty of others.

There have been several movies about Anna Anderson (who claimed to be Anastasia Romanov). Most came out before the UM segment with the exception of the animated movie Anastasia.

I just happened to watch the tv movie Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna starring Amy Irving last night. It was super cheesy (Susan Lucci was in it, for goodness sake!), but I do give it credit for leaving the truth of Anna Anderson's identity an open question.

There's the Voice from the Grave movie which was based off the Teresita Basa case and Escape from Alcatraz about the three guys who broke out of Alcatraz. can't remember their names.

Don't forget the Marie Hilley movie starring Angela I mean Judith Light.

Corky Kneivel · 06-10-2008, 03:49 PM

Also these classics:

I Was A Teenage Chupacabra
Death Chair of Death
Midnight Run - Based on the "sleeprunners" segment I think

JRA2000TL · 06-11-2008, 10:18 PM

There was one of those Lifetime movies that was based on the Paul Stamper case in Kingfisher County, OK.

The Lincoln Conspiracy, 1977 from Sunn Classic Pictures, is a full-length treatment of the silly theory that John Wilkes Booth survived for years after shooting Lincoln. There is also an 11-minute film from MGM, The Man in the Barn 1937, besides the Unsolved Mysteries segment, on this.

Stolen Babies (1993) (TV) with Mary Tyler Moore as evil baby broker Georgia Tann.

Song of Bernadette, about the events at Fatima.

A Place in the Sun is mentioned on the episode about the Chester Gillette and Grace Brown murder and haunting.

I can't remember, was the alleged haunting of Leopold and Loeb victim Bobby Frank on Unsolved Mysteries or some other program? Anyhow, there's an excellent movie based on that case, Compulsion, and one more loosely based on it called Rope.

I don't mean to be nit-picky, but Song of Bernadette would probably be about the events at Lourdes, not Fatima. Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to St. Bernadette there in the 1850s, whereas Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three children in Peru in 1917. I suppose at this point it might be obvious that I'm Catholic.

Hi MegtheEgg86, welcome to the board. You are correct: Our Lady of Lourdes appeared to St. Bernadette. However Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three children in Portugal, not in Peru.

MegtheEgg86 · 06-20-2008, 03:52 AM

Thank you!

That's right. I don't know why I typed Peru when I was thinking Portugal.

Unrelated to Unsolved Mysteries but do you know the wrestler Ric Flair was adopted out of the Tennessee Children's Home? The first chapter in his book is entitled "Black Market Baby."

MegtheEgg86 · 06-21-2008, 02:52 PM

I do believe hearing something like that; I remembered it was a professional wrestler but didn't know it was Ric Flair. Small world!
