I do once in a while, but I have seen so few that I could list them all quite easily.
What are some of the best you have seen?

I don't watch them very often.
Have you seen L.A. Takedown? Michael Mann's original version of Heat.

I watched it once in a while, but not a lot.
For The Love of Nancy (1994) and Face of Evil (1996) are pretty good
But i must be honest that most of the made for tv movies i have seen are Tracey Gold movies

I have seen every TV movie that stars Al Pacino for example. I made this post because I am actually watching a TV movie starring Anthony Hopkins at the moment. He was in many of them in his earlier days of acting.

Fatherland (1994)
Norma Jean and Marylin (1996)
Duel (1971)
Wow, just read through someone else' list of favorite made for TV movies. 340 of them. I recognized 6, and the only one I knew for a fact was a TV movie (Fatherland) wasn't even on the list.

Now and then.
The last one I watched was last night: THE SPY KILLER 1969.
They are usually in VHS quality since most appear to have never been released on dvd.
I read recently about some Charles Bronson tv movies he did in the 1990s I want to check out.

A lot... No. but I have seen a little here and there. IMDb says I have seen 14 'TV movie'. but it's a bit less if I stick more strictly to TV movie standards. but then again I am sure I have seen a bit more in my life that I don't have rated on IMDb. so to guesstimate how many total 'TV movies' I have seen in my life I can't imagine that total is more than around 50 movies and I would say a large portion of that stuff would have been around my teens and younger back when I had lower standards.
p.s. but usually once something goes too far off the radar, it's quality is unlikely to be of any real worth which is why I usually tend to avoid stuff that's too obscure. but it's not really surprising since looking at ALL movies collectively (there are probably tens of thousands at the very least(?)), VERY few are of any real worth. whether someone agrees with that or not... we all have limited time so it's not possible to watch everything and one will have to be more selective on what they watch, which basically means one will probably try to avoid the weaker stuff as much as possible etc.

I don't know how many overall since I don't have an IMDb account anymore but I've seen a lot of good and not so good animated films that are TV movies or direct to DVD. As for live action it's really hard sometimes to tell whether a film is a generic theatrical film or a tv film so I don't know how many of those I have seen.
For animated films there's The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, Drawn from Memory, and if you like the art style, The Soldier's Tale.

I've seen a handful in the last 3 weeks from the 80s and 90s, and I enjoyed them. I greatly miss the days of tv movies.
