The NYTimes article about Patricia Neal was unbelievable. She had a crazy life.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't watch these from work, so presented without comment: Deranged Inception mashup videos.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love the Dora the Explorer one, but I haven't watched the others. If someone watches them all and recommends which are worth my two minutes, that someone would have time on their hands!

TV movie that stuck with me: Something for Joey. Left me and my sister blubbering messes.

By the way, Pete, this is the music playing in the last scene.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Okay, maybe that one could have left a more specific mark, but still.
Heh. This is so me. My freakish brain recalls the lyrics of 80% of the songs I've heard, but plot points in narratives? Eh, that's hit or miss.

Compassionately intolerant
TV movies that effected me:
Why Me? with Armand Assante and Glyniss O'Conner about an Army nurse who needs facial reconstruction after an accident. It was shocking because the doctor uses labial tissue to create her lips. In 1984, shocking!
Death Takes a Holiday with Monte Markham. Perhaps my first real actor crush.
And the winner for the, I should not admit this in public and I'm SO glad I've grown up award, is Sweet Hostage with Martin Sheen and Linda Blair. Given the state of my life at that time, my loving the movie makes sense but, oy. When I think about it now...ugh.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
TV movies that stuck with me for whatever reason (none apparent):
The TV movie starring Richard Hatch as Jan Berry (from Jan & Dean), and his recovery from his head injury after his car accident.
And, of course, the after school special about the dangers of PCP, starring Helen Hunt, who goes screaming crazy from angel dust, and defenestrates herself out of a second story school window.

Deadman's Curve! I actually went and saw Jan & Dean playing at Milwaukee's Summerfest when I was in college because of this movie.
The TV movie that I think is one of the tops in the genre is The Missiles of October, which used to be rerun all the time. Great film!

If we're talking formative tv movies, I would put Roots up at the top. That's when tv was really an event, like my whole school watched it and talked about it in class the next day.
