TV Movie's I would love to see on DVD eventually (1 Viewer)

I remember the following TV movies:

Pearl-This was a three part mini series that aired on ABC about the attack on Pearl harbor. Robert Wagner, Dennis Weaver and a number of other great actors were in it.


Popeye Doyle- Ed O'Neill took over for Gene Hackman.

From Here To Eternity- William Devane starred in this one that also was a short lived series. Joe Pantoliano played Maggio the role made famous by Frank Sinatra. Kim Basinger was also in both this movie and the series.

World War III- This movie featured David Soul and Rock Hudson.

Didn't FOX release this one on DVD?

 

[David*P]

I was beginning to wonder about that myself when I started reading through the thread.

It's unbelievable that movie hasn't been released especially for sale at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast (which is in Lizzie's actual house) or the new exhibit in Salem, MA dedicated to Lizzie B.

Along with that I would love the three part miniseries The Awakening Land that starred Elizabeth Montgomery and Hal Holbrook and Jane Seymour.

Quite frankly, I would want ALL EM's TV movies, but there is a thread devoted to that all ready - http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...ml#post2005504

I am suprised not seeing channels like Sci-Fi or USA. Sci-Fi had Painkiller Jane which they then developed into the TV series.

Two more that should be mentioned here...I remember these well even though I only saw them once when first aired...

ISN"T IT SHOCKING? (1973) with Alan Alda as a small town New England sheriff investigating a series of unusal killings...directed by John Badham...a terrific cast including Louise Lasser, Edmund O'Brien, Ruth Gordon, Will Geer, Loyd Nolan...Exciting, suspencefull and funny too!

A COLD NIGHT'S DEATH (1973) with Robert Culp and Eli Wallach...scientists at odds with each other at an arctic research station...there to replace a mysteriously dead predecessor and continue his "project"...exciting and atmospheric with tremendous performances by the leads...and a shocker of a twist ending...

You know, with the great number of outstanding TV movies allready mentioned here, it's ironic that they were largely dismissed as second rate TV way back in the late '60s and early '70s...later to become prestige showcase event programming in the '80s and afterward...along with the growing number of miniseries...IMO...

Billionaire Boys Club (1987) with Judd Nelson was outstanding.

On Edit: Just found out it has recently been released for Region 1, finally.

Carlos,

Yes, I do remember this one (as well as one or two others you've listed). This one starred Scott Jacoby--I think I've seen the t.v. film twice. It also had one of my favorite 'character' actors in it--John Fiedler. Nice memories there.

Anchor Bay licenced The Norliss Tapeshttp://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=5736308 from Fox Home Entertainment.

We're, of course, still waiting for the promised release of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, but I'd like to put in a further word for an ABC Circle Films/Spelling-Goldberg Productions co-production starring Robert Culp: A Cold Night's Death (a.k.a., The Chill Factor) (1973). Great idea for a movie!

 

[Jon Baker]

I definitely remember "Bad Ronald" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and have been anticipating those on DVD for a long time.

Some other favorites from the 70's:
"Cage Without a Key", "Smash-up on Interstate 5", 'Hey I'm Alive", "Satan's School For Girls", "Cure of the Black Widow", "Little ladies of the Night", "Skyway to Death" "Dawn-Portrait of a Teenage Runaway"

Only I think The Power was an MGM theätrical release.

Rex,

Really? Thanks. Oh, sorry. Thänks.

 

[Mary_P]

I was just going to mention that about "Baby Blue Marine" -- I think that was a theatrical release as well.
