I cannot believe nobody has mentioned Love's Deadly Triangle:The Texas Cadet Murder yet!!!! That's one of my favorites! It has the girl from Charmed Holly Marie Combs. Her and her boyfriend kill Cassidy Rae because he slept with her? And they try to go on like nothing happened?

There's another one, real old, can't remember the name. About a girl that moved to CA I think and wants to get into modeling. She does but it's actually nude photos...gets into drugs...maybe starts doing porno??? but then at the end, she kills herself with a rifle on her bed???

Oh, and the one about the Texas mother who tries to kill the girl who's going to beat her daughter out for head cheerleader! Not the fun one with Holly Hunter. The serious one...

Oh! Mah! Gah! You GUYeese! I saw part of "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?" today! (Periodontal surgery can't be all bad if it enables me to stay home from work and watch that!)
I got a good look at Tori in motion (never watched her show) and the odd thing was that, by itself, each feature of her face wasn't really ugly, but put together, they made an ugly face!
Or was that the nitrous, novocaine and painkillers talking?

What about the one where Emma from Kate & Allie's richie-rich boyfriend kills Punky Brewster, who he knocked up while cheating on Emma? I think Richie Rich's dad was played by J. Peterman.

There's also a good (well "good") one starring Crystal Bernard. She's chubby and unattractive, but has a cute husband who pretends to love her. Cute husband is actually cheating with Crystal's best friend, and ends up framing her for her father's murder, divorcing her, and taking over her father's horse racing stables while she's in jail. Crystal loses weight in jail, and ends up getting the snot beat out of her, necessitating plastic surgery, thus rendering her beautiful. She gets out of jail and seeks revenge on hubby. Turns out hubby is drugging the horses to make them run faster, and Crystal (and her new boyfriend) gets him busted on that, and I think for the original murder too. I don't remember what happened to Best Friend. Purely awesome!

I also like the one with Dixie Burke and her real husband, the guy from Major Dad...she gets way into gambling and starts taking money from her job to support her habit.

Ah, and the one where a recently divorced lady takes in a tennant for her extra room without knowing that said tennant is WAYYYY psycho! And of course at the end tries to kill her landlord lady!

Did anyone see the movie on today with Angelina Jolie? It was on at the gym and I was trying to follow, but it was hard with no sound. There were a bunch of girls wearing flannel, and Angelina kidnaps someone. It looked kinda creepy.

"Lying Eyes," which was on LMN this weekend, with the guy who played David Heyward on AMC and now plays David Chow on Y&R. He likes to sleep with teenagers, and the girl who he last slept with is being stalked by an old girlfriend. LOTS of stupidness.

I LOVE this one. The current girlfriend is Cassidy Rae from Models Inc and the old girlfriend is Jennie from Kate & Allie.

I also love the one mentioned upthread about the sorority, where Hilary Swank is best friends with Six from Blossom and Six dies in a sorority prank. I also like the one with Crystal Bernard as the bulimic runner who marries the New Mexico governor or mayor or whatever. I will pretty much watch anything involving sororities or eating disorders.

We used to have to watch After School Specials in high school health class. This was in the mid-90s and all the movies were from the 80s. The only one I remember is "Babies Having Babies" and it starred Aunt Becky from Full House as a pregnant teen who has to go to a special support group for all these other pregnant teens.

borokat, this one is Foxfire and is waiting for me on my Tivo right now. It is based on a book by Joyce Carol Oates. I have seen parts of it but not the whole thing. I'll let you know how it is.

I had to watch "Francesca Baby" at least twice. It was about a teenage girl whose mom was an alcoholic. I remember mom came to Francesca's school play and embarrassed her, then Francesca ended up going to Alateen. The end.

Wasn't there also one where Linda Blair was a teen alky? I think it was Linda Blair. I remember she got the family maid fired for watering down dad's whiskey, when it was Linda who was really drinking it.

YES!!!! This "gem" is on my After-School Specials 1976-77 DVD. It's awesome.

*Jumping up and down!!!!!!!!!!!!!* "Sara T: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic"!!!!! We watched it in health class when I was in junior high! So great! I'd pay money to see this now. It also had Mark Hamill and I think she killed his horse?
