I've just watched "Wildflower," a terrific 1991 film directed by Diane Keaton with Patricia Arquette as an abused deaf girl and the family who helps her. It's a very moving film with an excellent soundtrack and strong performances by Beau Bridges and a very young Reese Witherspoon. Patricia Arquette is pitch-perfect in the role. 7/10 stars from me:

Mary Kay Letourneau. I could watch it over and over and not get tired of it.

I assume cable movies count, so I've just watched "The Baby Dance," a searing 1998 Showtime drama about a wealthy couple attempting to adopt a poor expectant couple's child.
It had an excellent script and performances by Stockard Channing and Laura Dern, but some scenes are overwrought and the ending strikes me as false. Still, it's a solid 7/10 from me:

Warped, I sent you a private message.

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.

I just watched Game Change. Chilling.
Mitt Romney: Leading the War on Women 6 Wives at a Time

You're very welcome. If you want it on VHS and live in the States, I can send it to you if you want.

Warped, I haven't seen it but I'll look for it. Thanks for the tip.

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:

Warped- You are totally right. Joan definitely deserves her own thread. I've seen most of her TV movies and I'll start a thread for her today.

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).

"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.)

"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.

"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:

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:

I watched 1994's "Someone Else's Child" last night. It starred Lisa Hartman Black, Bruce Davison, and Louise Fletcher. It wasn't bad. I kind of thought I had seen some of it before, but probably not.

"The Stepford Husbands," a 1996 sequel to the excellent '75 shocker, this time with Donna Mills realizing something just isn't right about hubby Michael Ontkean. 7/10 stars from me.

In Broad Daylight with Suzanne Pleshette from 1971.
Cool little thriller about a blind guy who plots out his wife's murder.

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.

"A Cold Night's Death": I turned the heating up about halfway through.

Make me a star!
