A list of films that I have recorded from television stations to my planner. One of my main film-related aims in 2021 (and beyond!) is to watch and remove as many of these as possible, in order to clear space for new recordings.

My list of movie-saves, some from 50's but mostly 60's & up that wish were available as dvd release but sadly are not... or once were and went out of print. We especially enjoy the 70's 'suspicion & suspense', 'teen trauma', and 'tragic but true' made for tv movies that started airing in the 70's as a 'movie of the week'. 

The ABC Movie of the Week and others that followed brought us some of the best... casts of wonderful actors we'd often only seen on the big screen, now in our homes... and these TvMs always had something going on that sucked you in and kept you watching :)

When Looking at my lists please note there is a "Sort By" option, I prefer to look at titles by release date, earliest to latest... but can choose other options to view by using the Sort By option ;)

William R. Moses, Michelle Stafford, and Dani Kind in Like Mother, Like Daughter (2007)

Adam Sandler and Kevin James in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

includes sequel movies, prequel movies, reunion movies, spin-off movies, remake movies, revival movies, movies based on TV episodes or sketches, and movies edited together from series episodes or sketches.

Andy Devine and Guy Madison in The Yellow Haired Kid (1952)

John Wayne, Natalie Wood, Ward Bond, Jeffrey Hunter, and Vera Miles in The Searchers (1956)

As much as I love my classic movie collection my favorite film genre is the "1970's Made for Tv Movies". The ABC Movie of the Week, as well as TvMs from other networks that followed, could always be counted on for a fun 90 minutes. From the late 60's to now these telefilms showcase stars from our regular tv shows in suspenseful, scary, fun & mysterious situations! 

Since so many are still unreleased on dvd I'm lucky to have quite a large collection of original & OOP Original Vhs video releases as well as many 1st satellite saves from commercial free cable... and although I only save movies not being currently released on dvd, may notice titles on my list Amazon shows as released on dvd. My saves are listed because discovered are from budget companies not released by original studio. They are what's called Public Domain titles, various companies offer... BUT... after reading many customer reviews of their dreadful quality have added titles I also have because I own nicer versions ;)

Thankfully the Tv Movie genre has hung in there... can find them  running on one channel all day long... gotta love 'em too... those cheesy, suspenseful, scary, nutjob neighbor/lover/best friend, oh woe is me tvms! I don't even mind the ones with commercials... can't fast forward fast enough to see what's coming next :-0

Too many movies so little time... hoping by putting them in a separate list will be easier to keep track of our favorite saves :)

Scott Brady and Audrey Totter in The Vanishing American (1955)

Phyllis Calvert and Robert Morley in Oscar Wilde (1960)

Joseph Cotten, Shelley Winters, Suzan Ball, and Scott Brady in Untamed Frontier (1952)
