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

[Charles H]

THE DELIBERATE STRANGER (Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy) is listed as a pre-booking on the Archive now.
I'd also like to see Mark Harmon in DILLINGER (with Lawrence Tierney, the original "Dillinger" released through the Archive.

 

[Richard V]

"Tribes" with Darren McGavin and Jan Michael Vincent is one that sticks in my mind, along with "Sweet Hostage" Linda Blair and Martin Sheen.

 

[Jeff Willis]

"The Californiia Kid" (Vic Morrow / Martin Sheen) '74, if I recall.

 

[Bob Gu]

Jeff, "The California Kid" is out on DVD from Timeless Media.

I'd like to see, "A Step Out Of Line", also with Vic Morrow, Peter Falk, and Peter Lawford. That's the one where a group of law abiding childhood pals pool their knowledge to pull off a perfect heist. Just one, a step out of line.

 

[WaveCrest]

The one TV movie I would like to see released on DVD is The Counterfeit Killer (starring Jack Lord). Or was it released in cinemas?

 

[peggy]

I would like "His Mistress" NBC movie of the week from 1984 with Robert Urich and Julianne Phillips.

 

[JamesSmith]

"Bad Ronald" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" are now available on DVD-R through the Warner Archive site.

Bless you for mentioning that. I hope a few more of those seventies tv movies come out on DVD. Hmm. . . Can't think of their names, some of them were scifi flicks, some horror. I'd like to see "Murder Can Hurt You," --that one was a comedy.

There is the Miss Pickerell tele films that were done in the early seventies. Hope they make an appearance.

Thanks for the info on the "..Kid" movie. I might look into that one.

James, Ron beat me to the "post" on that "Bad Ronald" info

The TV-movie genre remains a great untapped market that could potentially make the studios a lot of moolah. There are plenty of very good telefilms that deserve a second chance on home video:

Rearview Mirror. About a pair of escaped cons (I think) who terrorize a woman that picks them up hitch-hiking (I think). Very suspenseful

Anything To Survive. Father and two daughters become stranded on a deseted Alaskan Island after their boat capsizes. This movie would go well on a double feature with Scott Bakula's The Miracle of Flight 771.

The Fire Next Time. I own a decent budget version of this excellent 1993 global warming miniseries but its good enough to warrant a full-fledged legitimate release.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow. Rumored to receive a DVD release only to be dropped by the distributor. Currently being shopped around

Look What's Happened To Rosemary's Baby. Excellent TV-movie followup and just as creepy. Would make a great double feature with a proper reissue of the original.

 

[Corey3rd]

just watched Warner Archive's Bad Ronald - that's an amazing tv movie from '74

 

[Ockeghem]

I'd like to see The Colony and (for my children) Phantom of the Megaplex come to DVD one day. There are countless others -- what I like to refer to as those of The Shuttered Room variety (both with regard to genre as well as to decade of release) -- that I'd also love to see on DVD.

I just visited the Warner Bros. Archive site, and noticed that they added another great seventies TV movie to their collection:

The Stranger Within starring I Dream of Jeannie's Barbara Eden!!!

Here's the synopsis: Who is the father of Ann Collins’ baby? Her husband had a vasectomy years ago. And Ann hasn’t been with another man. Even more mysterious: as the baby grows inside her, Ann begins to change. She is beset by strange illnesses, pours tablespoons of salt on her food, turns the thermostat to 50 degrees, speed-reads academic tomes. But much bigger shocks are yet to come. Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) stars in this hypnotic, swiftly paced blend of horror and sci-fi from Richard Matheson, the popular and prolific writer who also penned the novel I Am Legend and several notable The Twilight Zone scripts.

Thanks for letting us know about that. I heard the movie was getting re-released on DVD. Sorry to hear the quality was bad, but the packaging looks awesome. It sounds like the same old, scratched up 16mm print that all the other public domain companies are using.
I guess I'll hang onto my original 1985 Prism VHS videotape. At least the picture is better than some of the public domain DVDs I've seen.
