What's a TV movie you highly recommend? As in a film that never got a cinema release but was made for television.

BBC Neverwhere TV series 1996.
Neil Gaiman
Compares very well to alice in wonderland

Dark Night of the Scarecrow. A surprisingly well done horror slasher for being early 80s and made for tv.

Duel .couldnt believe it was made for telly not pictures

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITMAN (1974)

THE NIGHT STALKER (1972)

Children of Men. Snowpiercer (2013).

"The State Within" (2006)

A six part series released by the BBC in 2006, and shown on the cable channel BBC America in 2007, which is where I saw it. An excellent modern day political thriller. Very well written and acted.

Defiance 1980 with jan michael vincent, the movie found its success when played on cable tv.

it's on youtube i believe, if you like vigilante films, it is a great film, a hidden gem.

Trilogy of Terror 1975
The killer Zuni doll segment freaked out a nation of children when it was broadcast.

"A walk in the clouds", starring keanu reeves. this is a chic flick. if you're a guy you won't get it at all

tremors shrieker island is good, so is most of the shark films from scify

Do Netflix films count as made for TV movies? If so, then [u]I'm thinking of ending things[/u].

I really like to watch 10.5 part one and two

The Hunt. It's a netflix movie.

Halloweentown was a banger

Marvellous (2014)

The Thornbirds

Salem's Lot. Surprisingly spooky. It was a miniseries, actually, directed by Tobe Hooper(Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist).

I have been searching for a made for TV mini-series that was about desegregation and MLK and the civil rights movement. It was a big deal but I cannot recall the name and struggle to find it in searches.

The Last Don (1997). It was actually a miniseries, but a decent one.
