Aside from many of the movies listed here already (some of which I have on tape, but would like to upgrade to disc), I'd like to add:

-The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979) in which Lindsay Wagner puts on a dress that sends her back in time, where she falls in love with a guy destined to die.

-Sweet Hostage (1975), where Martin Sheen escapes from a mental asylum and kidnaps a teenage Linda Blair.

-A Vacation in Hell (1979). A group of women (including Barbara Feldon and Maureen McCormick) get lost in the jungle and experience one horrible predicament after another. I think they're stalked and attacked by savages at some point. Great stuff!

Another vote for Planet Earth (1974).

From IMDb:

I remember seeing this when I was about eight years old. It always made me giggle when the ruling women called their man-slaves "dinks". It would be a great movie to watch for the drinking game. Every time someone says "dink"....it's giggle and gulp!

Is the "The Christmas Wish" starring Neil Patrick Harris and Debbie Reynolds available on DVD? It plays annually on Lifetime.

It was. I saw it for my 12th birthday in our local theatre. Running ahead of it was an American Cancer Society PSA with John Wayne; first time I saw a "commercial" at the movies. Sadly, not the last.

My pick for a TV movie would be DRAGNET (1969); actually produced in 1966, preceding the TV series revival. (This should have been included with the DRAGNET 1967 box set, but wasn't.)

Earth Star Voyager a miniseries or long movie that was part of a Disney package where kids of the future travel far into space to colonize a new world.

I can't remember the name of these movies but it seemed an annual NBC tradition to take several stars from their sitcoms in the 80's and make some comedy made for TV film. These alongside the Andy Williams NBC kids Christmas Specials would be neat.

There was a movie I saw in the 70's that I believe was a telemovie I would like to see again. It was a scary movie that involved I believe the daughter doing away with the mother. The most memorable part to me was the daughter singing:
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
They crawl through your stomach and out through your mouth.

Does anyone else remember this movie and perhaps no of a title for it??

Thanks,
Mark

I second: Not Quite Human and Not Quite Human II.

Also, I would really like a Region 1 The Night They Saved Christmas - I have the PAL Region 2 release...even converted it to NTSC myself. Still, I would love them to release it on this side of the pond. :)

I'd love to see a decent DVD of Paper Man (1971). I guess it's in the public domain because it's already been released a few times on various bargain bin labels, but the print looks washed out and lousy.

It's a thriller-ish pic starring Dean Stockwell (and his fro) as a computer genius who helps some fellow college buds create an identity for the purpose of charging up a credit card. All's well and good until some of the kids involved start turning up dead, and the culprit appears to be the computer. It's very creepy - and even 35 years later, very relevant.
