Buzz In: What Are Your Favorite Made-for-TV Movies?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:00:10 -0700

Made-for-TV-movies get a pretty bad rap, don't they? For many of us, that term makes us think of something completely melodramatic that has to do with modern damsels in distress. Many of them are like the TV version of those hilarious romance novels you see at the grocery store. But there are actually some great movies that fall into this category that I know lots of people love - even if they won't readily admit it.

For example, I was impressed with Lifetime's TV movie, Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy, which starred Sarah Chalke and was based on Geralyn Lucas's true story of her battle with breast cancer. The movie is pretty solid entertainment, and inspiring to boot. I also really liked Iron Jawed Angels, about suffragettes in America, as well as Angels in America (that cast!).

Of course, let's not forget that the High School Musical phenomenon started, for better of for worse, on the old tube as well.

Do You Watch Made-For-TV Christmas Movies?

Original TV movies like TNT's A Perfect Day, ABC Family's Santa Baby, or The Year Without a Santa Claus on NBC are often too sappy and hokey to swallow. Still, since the best TV shows are on hiatus and I've seen It's A Wonderful Life 346 times, I sometimes find myself succumbing. Do you ever watch these cheesy TV movies?

Has watching an episode of My Super Sweet 16 ever left you filled with rage? If so, you're about to get your payoff in the form of MTV's made-for-TV horror/satire of its reality series, My Super Psycho Sweet 16.

The trailer promises a plot and deaths that will be delightfully cheesy . . . and somewhat gratifying. Come on, you know you always wanted to see one of those brats get her head lopped off.
