Made-for-TV movies you still remember, part 2

Starting where we left off, with Gia.

I remember this Hilary Swank tv movie Terror In The Family where she beat the shit out of Dan Lauria and Joanna Kerns as her parents.

I posted the Wonder Woman TV movie starring a miscast Cathy Lee Crosby at the end of the last thread...but the 1976 Lynda Carter started as a Friday night TV movie too (a back and back double feature with Ed Asner in “Hey I’m Alive!”)

Pair this with Looking For Mr. Goodbar for a great Family Movie Night double-feature!

Revenge of the Stepford Wives

Skyward - Ron Howard’s directorial debut starring Bette Davis and DL favorite Lisa Welchel!

Behind The Camera: The Unauthorized Story Of Charlie’s Angels

[quote]I remember this Hilary Swank tv movie Terror In The Family where she beat the shit out of Dan Lauria and Joanna Kerns as her parents.

I remember that one too. I also remember Dying to Belong in which she played a college student getting justice for a friend who died due to sorority hazing incident. Mark Paul Gosseaar played Hilary's love interest and Sarah Chalke played one of the bitchy sorority sisters.

I also remember a movie about fraternity hazing and Linda Gray played a mother trying to justice for her son who died.

Theresa Saldana plays herself in this bold portrayal of a woman who refused to be a victim.

Fall From Grace: The Jim and Tammy Baker Story

Michael and Nancy were the Brangelina of their day.

Obsessed- TV movie starring William Devane as man who starts dating a much younger woman played by Shannen Doherty who turns out to be a psycho. It was so hilarious.

Can You Feel Me Dancing?- Justine Bateman stars as a young blind woman who falls in love with a dancer. Jason Bateman was also in the movie as her bitter brother who hates the attention his blind sister gets.

Cybill Shepherd’s foray into action star territory!

I remember a TV movie where Cybil Shepherd played a woman whose blind autistic son was a piano prodigy. Then years later, there was the Lifetime movie with Mary Louise Parker as the mother of twin boys with autism. One of the twins was played by Zac Efron

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!

Starring Dr Quinn, Julie from Love Boat and the Tattletales guy.

Cruel Doubt, based on the "Dungeons and Dragons" murder!

Starring a pre-famous GOOP

Here's another one GOOP did before she was famous. It was actually pretty entertaining (and also based on a true story). It also featured a very young Matthew Perry. Lifetime used to re-run this one quite a bit.

I watched this one out of morbid fascination. Awful!

Bonnie Franklin is Margaret Sanger!!!

r23, that's some interesting casting!

"Like Mother, Like Son", about real-life killers Sante (DL icon Mary Tyler Moore) and Kenny Kimes.

There was another Sante Kim's movie with Judy Davis

Anyone remember "Don't Go To Sleep"? This gave me the creeps when I was a kid.

Big pieces for daddy, little pieces for you and me.

61, directed by Billy Crystal. I thought Barry Pepper would be huge at the time.

R28, I like Barry Pepper. Good actor

The Love Letter - Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason Leigh

The Last Innocent Man. It was cable, not network, so Roxanne Hart has to sho huh w her tits. Ed Harris was the most beautiful man in the 80s (and stayed beautiful in the 90s through Stepmom).

R6 - Bette Davis looks like today's Ellen Degeneres in that ad......

The Stepford Children, with Barbara Eden and Tammy Lauren.

John Sanford’s “Certain Prey” starring Mark Harmon. This was about 10 years ago, before Orphan Black, and ITV was the first time I saw Tatiana Maslany in anything. You knew she was going on to better things.

I also remember thinking Mark Harmon looked so much better without the bad NCIS haircut.

A Winner Never Quits-based on the true story of Pete Gray, a one armed professional baseball player starring Keith Carradine and Mare Winnigham.

The Secret Path- late 90s movie about a black couple played by Ossie Davis and Della Reese as a black couple in the 1960s South who give refuge to an abused and neglected white girl who lives nearby them. It was pretty good movie and I remember almost crying to it.

Follow The Stars Home.

A woman must choose between an honorable dude who is also an M.D. (Campbell Scott) and her caddish baby daddy (Eric Close). Tough call!

Campbell Scott could have been the Valerie Bertinelli of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies if it was still a thing.

Passion Flower - Barbara Hershey and Bruce Boxleitner. I remember thinking this was an odd pairing at the time...movie star paired with TV lightweight. I thought he looked really hot in the ad though!

Seduced - with Gregory Harrison and Cybill Shepherd. It was a humdrum Body Heat rip off with little question as to who the real villain was. But Cybill never looked better and GH was as hot as ever.

I wish I could remember the actual title but it was something like, "The Hunt For The Unicorn Killer" a true crime TV movie with a very young Naomi Watts . The murderer was a guy named Ira Einhorn? He was a real sick fucker.

The Long Hot Summer 1985 - Don Johnson was sex on a stick

The Ditchdigger's Daughters (1997)- based on a true story and book about a black father who pushed his daughters to work hard towards becoming doctors. Two of the daughters did become physicians,, one became an oral surgeon, one a lawyer, and another a nurse. The daughters also earned college tuition money performing in a band called the Thornton Sisters.

Dance ‘Til Dawn (1988) with so many 80 TV stars

I may watch that r45, they had me at Brian Bloom

Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring

R45 that movie was cute. Kelsey Grammer and Edie McClurg were the best part.

A Child's Wish with Anna Chlumsky, John Ritter, and Tess Harper a movie loosley based on how FMLA came to be after parents were fired from their jobs for taking leave to care for their sick children.

Jeff Daniels and Christine Lahti are homeless!

Bette Davis is MADAME SIN, a criminal mastermind with plans to steal a Polaris submarine and sell it to terrorists. Co-starring Robert Wagner and Denholm Elliott, it is currently available to watch on Amazon Prime and Shout Factory TV.

[quote] I may watch that [R45], they had me at Brian Bloom

They lost me instantly at Bitchlyssa Mi-lame-o.

The Yarn Princess- Jean Smart plays a mentally challenged woman who fights to keep custody of her kids.

R592 from the previous thread. I forgot about this one. Hot as fuck! Paul Michael Glaser, Nick Nolte and Max Gail in the 70s made this 17 y.o. (at the time) cock hard as rock.

Glad you enjoyed it, r56!

A Change of Heart - Jean Smart finds out her husband is a 'mo!

Carol Burnett and Amy Madigan in The Laundromat. Directed by Robert Altman. Amy’s character was annoying as fuck.

Just about anything with Elizabeth Montgomery - but from the last thread A CASE OF RAPE and LIZZIE BORDON should not be forgotten......

This Tami Hoag adaptation was weirdly appealing.

Also...Harry Hamlin ! Valerie Bertinellli !

One Special Victory-John Larroquette stars as a sleazy real estate agent who must coach a Special Olympics basketball team as a community service agreement for drunken disturbing the peace arrest.

I remember some movie were Roma Downey was married to guy played by William Russ and she finds out he had a secret love child with a mistress.

Invisible Child- Rita Wilson plays a nutty mom who has invisible child.

Sally Field in A Woman of Independent Means
