It's a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.

Nadia -- about Nadia Comaneci.
a cry for help the tracy Thurman story [although I saw it relatively recently]
anne of green gables-- I always considered a mini series.
[because of the style, it looked like it was made in the 90's] Lies of the heart, the story of laurie Kellogg and Cries unheard the donna yaklich story

It's not a TV movie, but "Chiefs" was the best miniseries I've ever seen.

The Breakfast Club (1985) I think it's a great film. I like that there's a message in the film, in that you shouldn't stereotype people and put them in boxes, based on status/wealth etc.
The cast are great. I liked Paul Gleason. I think he plays a great prick.

"Stoned" with Scott Baio from 1980. Great movie! It may have been considered a special so I could be wrong about posting that in this thread.

The Terry Fox Story Facts Of Life movie The Ryan White Story Gangs The Women of Brewster PlaceI think ABC, CBS, and NBC had some good afterschool specials. Backwards: The Riddle of Dyslexia One Too Many YES! I love the scene with Robin Givens and the lady who had 1,000 kids running around. "I love them when they're babies like the little baby dolls my daddy gave me at Christmas. They're so sweet and soft and helpless. Then they grow up into these knuckleheaded fools!"

From The Dead Of Night - a woman who has a near-death experience The Lady And The Highwayman - similar to the 3 musketeers Deceptions - twin sisters who trade places The Woman He Loved - the duke and duchess of Windsor Draw! - two older rivals in the Wild West I consider "From the Dead of Night" to be the forerunner of "Final Destination": Woman doesn't die when the Grim Reaper feels it's her time and suddenly people begin trying to kill her.

Yep, thats the most terrifying tv movie I ever seen. That and Duel(70's) would probably be my 2 favourite tv movies. Just saw Made in Britain(82)(youtube) A stunning performance from Tim Roth. Clearly his character was mental

The Day After — Disturbing film about the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. Yes, a good film with an all star cast... I have it on DVD... I've heard that when it originally aired, the station had a 1-800 number that people could call if they had questions about Nuclear Attacks... Deceptions - twin sisters who trade places Yes... Stefanie Powers was fantastic paying the two roles in the film.
