Made for TV Movies

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have any faves, or ones that were particularly memorable to you?

Oh, and the Merlin TV miniseries from 1998.

Chameleons! (1989) silly sort of superhero movie with secret identities and secret conspiracy societies and costumes and high-tech crime fighting devices. Was overjoyed when I managed to record a copy on VHS on replay, watched it repeatedly. Ridiculous and I loved it.

There was one my sister and I watched when I was really young. My sister really liked it, I recall liking the premise, but I can't recall if it was actually a good movie? It was probably early/mid 1990s?
What I recall from the movie was that a guy finds a letter in an old desk that was in an old house he bought/inherited. It was a letter a woman from colonial-esque times had written, mostly going off about her day and life. He writes a letter replying to her and puts it in the little hidden slot he'd found her letter. They begin exchanging letters to each other through the desk despite living like...100(?) years apart. I don't recall anything else about the movie outside of that.

It was a lot like "The Lake House" starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and I was really surprised it had been adapted from an original Korean movie and not the made for TV Lifetime (I think it was Lifetime) movie I'd randomly watched with my sister years ago. LOL

Oh, geez.

The Day After really messed me up.

I liked The Ewok Adventure when it aired, though I'm not sure I would like it much if I watched it today.

Alex: The Life of a Child was really sad.

Who is Julia? was a weirdly engrossing exploration of identity.

The Abduction of Kari Swenson was pretty harrowing.

These are technically miniseries, since they are two-parters:
It (1990), goddamn if Tim Curry doesn't make a terrifying clown.

Atomic Train was something, but I do adore many a disaster film.

Merlin (1998) and The Mists of Avalon (2001) instantly sprung to mind even if they were miniseries.

I do love alot of the Hallmark Mysteries like Mystery 101.

If anyone is ever in need of a movie night, YouTube carries a significant amount of made for TV movies and this list of 301 of them is a great one to start with.

There was a movie that used to air every Christmas that I really enjoyed. It was about Santa Claus’s daughter and she had to help a bitter family regain the spirit of Christmas. It was super cheesy and the ending was kinda ridiculous, but I remember really loving it. I haven’t watched it in ages and I kinda don’t want to in case rewatching it with adult eyes ruins my childhood memories of the movie.

I remember seeing a cartoon TV movie when I was a little kid called Mad Mad Mad Monsters (not to be confused with Mad Monster Party) about a bunch of old movie-type monsters invading a hotel and wreaking havoc while preparing for a wedding. The gimmick was you never got to see the bride of Frankenstein's face till the very end and she turned out to sort of look like a cross between Alfred E. Neuman and Sissy Spacek.
I remember Sybil freaked me the hell out.
The Rutles was originally a made for TV movie, being both a big Beatles fan and loving Monty Python I've seen that one a bunch of times.
I don't remember the title of it but I remember a TV movie about a friendship between a deaf kid and a signing orangutang.
I saw the dreaded Star Wars holiday special when it was new. What can I say, I was a kid and I liked Star Wars. I thought it was dumb and turned it off.
I remember being in college and some of us laughing at some movie about a teenage girl running away and getting into porn movies because it was so bad.
I remember a cartoon version of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
I remember some really scary movie about Nazis threatening classical musicians.
I definitely remember Between Time and Timbuktu, which was a political satire about a guy who time traveled between a lot of alternate universes based on several different Kurt Vonnegut stories, and Bob and Ray were in it too (they of course provided a lot of comic relief)
Don't Go To Sleep was a creepy movie about a whole family getting wiped out by a possessed little kid.
I was very disappointed in a couple of made for TV Alice in Wonderlands.
There was a TV movie version of Shadowlands made before the Anthony Hopkins one that I liked a lot.
there are probably more but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head
