The Official "Oh Wow, Remember THAT TV Movie From Your Childhood?" Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Groo The Perverted · 05-08-2011, 02:56 AM

For some reason I suddenly started thinking about all these made for TV flicks that I saw when I was younger, in the late 80's, early 90's. Stuff that isn't even on DVD, much less Bluray.

Stuff that seems cheesy as shit now, but back then I thought it was so damn cool. lol.

What are some that you remember from childhood that you liked, yet aren't available?

Some off the top of my head:

Vanishing Son (four made for TV movies, and then a show) starring Russell Wong (Joy Luck Club, Romeo Must Die).

The Brotherhood of The Rose. Based on a spy novel, starred David Morse, Connie Selleca, Robert Mitchum and others.

The Gifted One. Can't remember much about this, but according to IMDB:

A young boy can transfer his body energy into ESP and heal sick people. While the subject of scientists' studies, he runs away to try to find out about his past and why he is the way he is.

Starred John-Rhys Davies and Captain Harris himself, G.W. Bailey.

Man I wish I could get these again to watch.

Also one of the very first, if not first, Fox Movie of the Week, called "Dead Silence". A highly original story of three girls on spring break who hit a drifter, and then try to cover it up and go about their lives. Three guesses on whether things work out well for them?

THIS television achievement in excellence, starred the one and only Bryan Cranston, and Renee Estevez (Sister of Charlie/Emiio/Ramon).
