I just watched "Callie & Son," a terrific potboiler of a film from 1981 with Lindsay Wagner, Jameson Parker, Dabney Coleman, Michelle Pfeiffer and a lot of other recognizable faces (if not names). 7/10 stars from me.

I've just watched "The Comeback Kid" from 1980, a terrific comedy/romance/drama with John Ritter as a washed-up baseball player who coaches underprivileged children. Also features Susan Dey in a supporting role and a bit part by Patrick Swayze. Well worth seeking out. 7/10 stars from me:

"Dixie: Changing Habits" from 1983, with Suzanne Pleshette as a bordello owner sentenced to work in a convent owned by Cloris Leachment. Hilarity and, ultimately, harmony ensue. 7/10 stars from me:

"Her Life as a Man" from 1984, an enjoyable romantic comedy about a woman who disguises herself as a man to get a job as a sportswriter. Features a small role by Joan Collins. 7/10 stars from me.

"Her Life as a Man" is very pleasant, entertaining, and enjoyable. I remember watching it when it was new (which seems like so long ago.) I have the vhs too and I recently rewatched it for the first time in many years. It's a shame this movie has become so obscure (like most TV movies do.)

You were lucky to see this when it aired, TVmovieViewer! I hadn't heard of it until I found it at a thrift store for 50 cents. It's a very entertaining romantic comedy with some charming humor and sharp satire. It also has high production values like you'd expect from a theatrical film.
Along those lines, I was wondering why there doesn't seem to be a thread for Joan Collins' TV movies on this board. She seems to deserve one because she's been very prolific on television as well as in films. I thought of creating one, but this didn't seem the best place to start because her role is quite small here (despite her prominence on the VHS box). -

Hello, TVmovieView: Did you ever see "Stranger in My Bed," a 1987 TV movie with Lindsay Wagner as an amnesia victim getting reacquainted with her family? Check it out if you haven't.
Amnesia films are a tired genre in my book, but Lindsay has the charm and talent to make it work for me. Armand Assante plays her ever-so-patient husband. 7/10 stars from me:

I'm going to finally sit down and watch 1974's KILLER BEES starring Miss Gloria Swanson in her lone tv movie, costarring Kate Jackson, Edward Albert, and Roger Davis. I've had it for several months now and haven't yet screened it even though I wanted to see it for a long time.
