Goliath Awaits, I do believe. Without looking at IMDB, I believe it starred Mark Harmon, Emma Samms, Christopher Lee and Frank “The Riddler” Gorshin. ![]()
Just remembered Starsky and Hutch started as a TV movie.
Stockard Channing is a really ugly girl who everyone makes fun of. She’s in (IIRC) a car crash, and they reconstruct her face sos she’s beautiful. She then proceeds to murder all her old tormentors in various creative ways.
A vampire movie called I, Desire. No gore, sex, or bad language, but it was scary as hell.
And Barbara Stock was a magnificent vampire.
In 1993 HBO aired The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.
There was another turd of about the same time where there was some kind of hypersonci airliner that messed up and entered orbit, complete with all sorts of hijinks about how to get it back down. I remember watching it because I was stuck in the house because I’d broken my ankle that weekend.
It was atrocious; you know a movie like that is bad when a 10 year old who was obsessed with NASA and spaceflight was groaning about it.
Found it:
I personally love The Five People You Meet in Heaven, with Jon Voight and Michael Imperioli. Based off of a Mitch Albom book, I believe.
Remember the magical gravity rope they strung up once the plane got stuck in orbit? All you had to do was hold on to the rope and you could walk on the floor.
I don’t remember liking this one very much:
Haunts of the Very Rich - a group of wealthies find themselves airplaned to a “Fantasy Island”-type tropical resort where, one-by-one, they figure out they’re all dead, and as the last person gets it, his harridan wife shows up and he realizes they’re all in Hell, to boot.
The Marcus-Nelson Murders was the TVM that begat “Kojak” (bang-bang!).
The Night Strangler - Kolchak again; not as good as the first, but still decent.
