One of the better Made for TV Movies — a format since largely long gone away and all but forgotten. (Though Made for Cable still happens.) They can be harder to find. Film sites should not disregard these, so it’s good that you don’t overlook ’em.
I agree. More made for TV movies, even if they’re only available on VHS or taped off the tube.
And they should create a separate TV category for this site. It would make it easier to search for them. The ones we missed in the past.
You know, very sad to have to acknowledge it, but this subject has retained way too much relevance for the U.S.A. Mandalay Bay LV incident in the Fall of 2017 for example, the Beltway Sniper near D.C. a few years before that, about which there was also I think a worth-seeing TV movie. A fairly safe bet these won’t be the last.
