Lifetime Movies

colliemom4 — Mon, 06 May 2024 19:54:46 GMT

Do you watch them? I usually don't but have watched some lately. I'm not a Rinna fan but want to see the new one Lisa Rinna will be in so I'll be watching that. I've seen Denise Richards in one recently and I thought she did a terrible job in her role. Just being honest. Of course some of this material isn't exactly the best.

@colliemom4 I can't stand Rinna. Some years ago she made some really nasty comments about large sized women.

I am not one of them but I found her comments so horrible I wouldn't walk across the street to see her, much less watch anything she is connected with. And I don't need to look at her lips that look ready to explode. Ick.

@Love my grandkids I am not a fan. I just want to see her in the movie. It looks as crazy as she is lol.

During the early 90's, Lifetime movies were DA BOMB! Now, not so much. 👎🏾

My favorite all time LT movie is the mini series "Love, Honor & Obey: The Last Mafia Marriage" which is a true story. It's also on YouTube.

@Mz iMac The movies were definitely better back then as were so many other things that were on tv.

I used to watch more on LMN & Lifetime channels. Since we moved to streaming have not watched that much.

DH hates those channels. He says they are man bashing channels. LOL!!!

@Nightowlz Your husband saying that is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. It probably isn't a channel a whole lot of men would want to watch anyway.

Except for some of their dramatized true-story movies, seems to me that LT network portrays women as losers, murderers, cheaters, thieves...you know all those kinds of wonderful people you just want to be friends with and have them as good examples of what to be when your kid grows up.

I watched Lifetime movies years ago and enjoyed some of them.

My favorites though were the made for TV movies of Danielle Steel's novels. Watched them all in the 70's and 80's.

I saw an advertisement for a cooking show with her husband, Harry Hamlin, it is on the IFC channel mid May.

The movies used to be good but now they are mediocre at best. I record them to watch if nothing else is on tv.

My friend had a somewhat accurate description of Lifetime movies vs. Hallmark movies:

Lifetime - someone always dies

Hallmark - everyone finds love and lives happily ever after

I know that I am 30 years older than when I first started watching Lifetime movies, but it seems far too many of the recent vintage ones focus on trauma and drama with teenage girls. While some of the subject matters in the movies are serious and important (especially for women navigating the road of being a parent to a teen), I get weary of them. I long for the days when Lifetime movie key characters were mostly mature women in their 30s and 40s.

I have some favorites that I can watch over and over again. I recently watched one Going For Broke starring Deta Burke, Gerald McRaney, and (the former Ellen) Paige. I never get bored of A Woman Scorned: Betty Broderick, Ann Margaret in Seduced By Madness, and Jaclyn Smith in Before He Wakes.

I do occasionally watch a Lifetime movie. Usually on a Sunday afternoon and I do watch the Christmas movies. I think I missed why some people hate Rinna. Was it her Housewives show act?

Re: Lifetime Movies

Love my grandkids — Mon, 06 May 2024 23:51:05 GMT

@chrystaltree I and others have mentioned this in the past.

A few years ago she made some nasty and derrogatory statements about large size women. I am not one but I loathe people who say things like that.

Can keep her fat ugly ready to explode lips.

As a rule I don't watch Lifetime but I did record that mess about Wendy Williams and have yet to finish watching. I might record the Rinna one but I am not a fan of hers anymore. Sometimes I just like to confirm my convictions.

She should have stuck with her part of Billie on Days of Our Lives. I watched that soap back then and I loved the Billie character. Some celeberties should never be interviewed.

@colliemom4 Thank you for creating this thread ! I love Lifetime movies- they're the perfect blend of passion, suspense, violence, action and drama and hilariously bad acting. I've watched Lifetime movies since I was a kid. My all time favorite Lifetime movies are:

Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? (1996)

She's Too Young (2004)

I love that Lifetime movies are usually 90 minutes or less, so I can watch one right before bed and go to sleep. I'm definitely watching Lisa Rinna in "Mommy Meanest" on Saturday- I want to see her go nuts in that movie .
