- DirectorLawrence DohenyStarsRobert CulpClu GulagerGary CollinsNASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.Remember Apollo 13? This is about that incident, except it delves into the private lives of the mission control men and the stresses in their personal lives as well as trying to save the 3 astronauts in space. Might be hard to find this one. It was a TV movie from the mid-70s. Clu Gulager is in it so that alone makes it worth watching.
- DirectorJohn Llewellyn MoxeyStarsSally FieldJill HaworthJulie HarrisAn ailing man summons his four daughters home for Christmas and asks them to kill his new wife, who he suspects is poisoning him.This is not the one with Robert Downey, Jr. and Holly Hunter. This one was with Sally Field. She plays one of 4 sisters trapped in their father's gothic home. Someone in the house is a murderer. Another one that may be hard to find. TV movie!
- DirectorCharles LaughtonStarsRobert MitchumShelley WintersLillian GishA self-proclaimed preacher marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real dad hid the $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery.Most have heard of this one. Had to add it though in case there is someone out there that HASN'T seen it. This one affected me so negatively, I had to sleep with my mother's sweater at night to ward off the night terrors. To this day I can't watch a movie with Robert Mitchum and not feel dread.
