TV movies

[Dude111]

Have you seen any TV MOVIES and if so,what do ya think??

I have seen 3

1) On the edge of innocence - 1997

An excellent movie about 2 kids ending up in an institution and falling in love,then escaping from it and then realising they need help and returning.....

2) Living with the dead - 2002

An excellent movie with a surprising ending!! -- You really need to be in the right frame of mind to understand the ending!!!! (It brought me to tears -- A touching movie)

3) Red alert - 1977

A good movie about a power plant employee gone bad...... Thankfully they get him before anything really big happens!

I have a bunch of the old tv movies from the 70s.
One that comes to mind is " Where have all the people gone? "
It's about a family that went on a camping trip to the mountains and while they were exploring a cave there was some kind of an event, (Solar flare or nuclear strike) I can't remember which, but all the towns were empty except for packs of wild dogs that kept attacking them.

One of my favorites as a kid was Babes in Toyland (1986).

I watched it again fairly recently. Still no DVD release...

I remember that Movie with Weaver. I think it was made by Steven Spielberg. Anyway, they used footage from that movie, and the same truck, on an episode of the Incredible Hulk TV Series. I think it was done before McCloud.

I have that one! Very good! I think it was a solar flare.
I have a large collection of tv movies from the 70's. Too many to list. But one that stands out is from the early '80's. "The Day After" about a massive nuclear explosion. Very scary
Remember the old ABC Movie Of The Week? There was always a good tv movie to watch!Elizabeth Montgomery made a lot of cool movies back then. like "The Legend Of Lizzie Borden" And we can't neglect to mention the superb mini-series' like"The Awakening Land", "Centennial", "Roots", "Rich Man Poor Man", "Testimony Of Two Men", Captain And The Kings", etc. I sure do miss those days!

Duel was the best one! I have been afraid of semi-trucks ever since!
