FINE T.V. MOVIES Not yet on DVD... (1 Viewer)

Remember when even Network t.v. was making ballsy, terrific movies that really had an edge?
Sybil{/B](full 3-hours, please)
That Certain Summer*(homosexuality theme - a first for network t.v.)
Go Ask Alice(good film about teenage drug addiction)
Surviving*(teen suicide - quite powerful)
The Burning Bed(Great Farrah Fawcett performance)
Bitter Harvest{/B](Ron Howard as farmer facing bankruptcy)
The Point*(animated, with music by Nilsson)
Death of A Salesman(Dustin Hoffman. Superb)
Something Evil*(Pre-DUEL Spielberg, fairly creepy)
Night Gallery* (Pilot episode of series, ditto)
Something About Amelia* Fine film about incest with Ted Danson.
Angel City{/B]
And of course there have been many excellent cable movies.
The Burning Season(HBO - one of Raul Julia's last roles)
Countdown To Looking Glass*(HBO - nuclear war thriller)
Threads(British, nuclear war film, better than THE DAY AFTER)
...add your own.
So MANY great t.v. films languishing in video limbo. Godo thing some are available now, such as
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman(You owe it to yourself to see this amazing movie with Cicely Tyson)
The Glass House(Alan Alda in prison)
Night Stalker(Darren McGavin)
and a handful of other

I wish they'd release one of my favorites, a guilty pleasure, from years ago:
The Legend of Lizzie Borden, with Elizabeth Montgomery in the title role. That scene where the father shows young Lizzie how bodies are preserved, using her mom as the example, still creeps me out.

I'd like to see


DOING TIME ON MAPLE DRIVE

Being a Tom Clancy fan, I'd love to have Op Center from 1995 on DVD too.

i could swear that i saw OpCenter on dvd many years ago. Like 3 -4 years ago at a suncoast. I could be wrong, but i remember it being $30 and at the time, not wanting to get it for that much.

It could be but I searched both DVDEmpire and Amazon and it didn't even show up as being OOP.

How about The California Kid (Martin Sheen)?

I'll second Doing Time on Maple Drive, and add

And while they are working in the vaults

WILD PALMS

VANITY FAIR (as on A&E a few years ago)

and SHOGUN

My two cents' worth:
1. Deathdream (a.ka. Nightwalk) (1973)
2. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Lorimar (> Warner Bros.?), 1973)
3. A Cold Night's Death (a.k.a. Chill Factor) (1972)
4. The Norliss Tapes (Fox, 1973)

The House That Wouldn't Die (Ammie, Come Home)
Crowhaven Farm

Two scary TV movies

Also, The Executioner's Song (I don't know if it's available)

I'd like to see the most excellent WWIII drama By Dawn's Early Light , starring Powers Boothe, Rebecca De Mornay, James Earl Jones, Rip Torn, Peter MacNicol ... and Martin Landau as the President of the United States!
It really was a fun little movie, not quite as provocative or graphic as The Day After but still quite good.

Speaking of Powers Boothe, what about the Jonestown story?

I'll second Wild Palms. That was a great miniseries!
