I remember Fox had some TV movies based on the behind the scenes stuff of popular shows from the 1970s-1980s. In particular The Brady Bunch, Patridge Family, and Diff'rent Stroke. It was to show how messed up the people were on these wholesome shows. They really need to post the clip from the Diff'rent Stroke movies where Gary Coleman's best friend is trying to talk some sense into him. Why you ask? His best friend is a Michael Jackson impersonator because why the f*** not?
Actually, I think that part of the movie was based on fact. Still funny though. He he SHAMOO.

Kind of cheating, since it came out well before I was born and I only know about it due to Brad Jones mentioning it in regards to "The Boy", but Bad Ronald, which has a very similar twist.

It really doesn't deserve a Wikipedia page...as I've mentioned before: officialfan.proboards.com/thread/303734/deserve-wikipedia-pages |

Without Warning. A 1994 CBS mock emergency news broadcast starring Sander Vanocur about meteors on course to collide with Earth. It's pretty gripping, and you can suspend disbelief until some well-known TV actors show up as newsmen and scientists (like John de Lancie, James Morrison, and John M. Jackson).

How obscure is 1997's Asteroid, a miniseries on NBC? I recorded it off TV and wore out the VHS tape.  |

WITHOUT WARNING is one of my most favourite things EVER, caught it late night and was hooked ever since, trying to find a download and got it. it's mix of psuedo-real news broadcasting, super recognisable actors in it, and SUPERB tension throughout and it doesn't give you all the story either ..... love stuff like that, same as what they did for INDEPENDENCE DAY with their news reports. other ..... HANGING BY A THREAD ..... still haven't seen the ending for it, it was on a sunday, it was bath night ..... and you get the picture  |

Tin Man was the one that came to mind. A modern reselling of The Wizard of Oz starring Zooey Deschanel.

I remember some remakes of Disney films that were made into TV movies in the mid-1990s like Freaky Friday (This was before the one with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis; this one had Gaby Hoffmann and Shelley Long), Escape To Witch Mountain and The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes (It had Kirk Cameron).

I was just thinking of one of these movies earlier today. They remade "The Absent-Minded Professor" with Harry Anderson as the star character in 1988. Well before the Robin Williams version, "Flubber". I remember when "Flubber" came out I was telling people they had already remade the movie before but nobody knew what I was talking about. |

Killdozer (1974) - a construction crew on a Pacific island has their bulldozer taken over by an alien entity. Dozer tries to kill them all. I saw it when I was 9 years old and would love to see it again.

I remember another one called Summertime Switch with Rider Strong and Jason Weaver. It seems to be out on DVD, though it's in a four-pack. I might get it.

Sweet Dreams. Tiffani Amber Theissen (whom I've always been in love with) awakes from a coma and tries to put her life back together.
Also, I remember one where the mom from Growing Pains and her family get a home invasion and she gets raped in front of her husband or something like that.

I remember one I seen in the 90s and it was about the world ending and how certain people were going out
I remember it being interesting but can only remember one specific scene where two straight male friends were talking and one asked the other to have sex with him because before he died, he wanted to know what it felt like to be f***** in the ass
