Good tv movies

For some reason just blank pages come up when I try to get into the old good tv movies thread, so yeah...


Rebecca De Mornay has done some good ones. An Inconvenient Woman is one of my favorites. I love when she sings I Wanna Be Loved By You. Murders in the Rue Morgue with her, George C. Scott, Ian McShane, and Val Kiler is also good. Plus, The Con with her, William H. Macy, and Fraces Sternhagen is great fun, too.

Another solid one is Rehearsal for Murder with Lynn Redgrave. Entertaining little murder mystery.

If you liked Inconvenient Woman, you'd like The Two Mrs. Grenvilles with Ann-Margret and Claudette Colbert.

I LOVE Harper Valley PTA!

I also used to love the Agatha Christie tv Movies: Sparkling Cyanide, Dead Man's Folly, Thirteen at Dinner, Murder Is Easy (with Olivia de Haviland and Lesley-Anne Down).

I also remember those 80s nuclear movies: The Day After and Testament.

Oh, my...I did a search, saw my last post and it was identical to the one below.

But I couldnt open the thread.

"Doodle Loses his Thread"

"The Ringman Always Posts Twice"

Can Greg Harrison play me? He was on SVU and he's still handsome.

No.

It has to be Linda Blair.

She's too butch.

[Rathnait62]

Robin Williams?

He mugs too much...Steve Martin?

Blair can play you.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 9/28/06 at 1:20pm

Steve Martin is too butch for you. I'll take Blair.

Did that come out wrong?

That's prob my fave, Midwest--the book is also very good. One highlight: Elizabeth Ashley!

And Stephen Collins plays Billy Grenville....

sorta on topic and sorta off.

I just was on imdb and found a 1978 tv version of Little Women with Eve Plumb, Susan Dey (as Jo) and Meredith Baxter...Dorothy Malone plays Marmee.

I'd do alot of bad things to get the chance to see this!
