Ever since I saw Switched At Birth starring Bonnie Bedelia when I was a preteen, I have enjoyed the cinematic works of art known as Lifetime Original Movies (aka LOMs.) I know many of you feel the same way so I figured a discussion of our favorite LOMs would ignite more passion in our bloglationship. Today I am sharing with you my Top Ten Favorite Lifetime Original Movies with a surprise giveaway at the end! (the blog equivalent to me coming out in a black negligee.) With the hundreds of Lifetime movies out there, you would think it would be impossible to narrow them down to a measly ten, but I did it! Most of my favorites are from the nineties, since I have been sadly underwhelmed by many of the recent ones. The Craigslist Killer was terrible! Amish Grace? Horrible! However there are a couple of newer ones that put a ‘lil sparkle in my eye…SHALL WE BEGIN?
The Nora Roberts movies
These four movies, based on stories from romance novelist Nora Roberts, played for a month sometime in 2009. I was lucky (anti-social) enough to catch Tribute (RIP Brittany) and Midnight Bayou and enjoyed the mix of romance , suspense, and the supernatural. I still have to watch the other two but surely I won’t be disappointed. Also FYI the one with Leann Rimes and that hot dimples dude is how they started having an IRL affair! Not like anyone cares or anything.
Sins of the Mind
I am pretty sure nobody besides me saw Sins of The Mind. I couldn’t even find a better picture of it than the one above, that’s how obscure this is. This movie has seriously fucked me up for the past ten years. It’s about a girl who gets into a car accident and suffers trauma to the brain, particularly the nerve that controls impulses. Basically she becomes what many of us only dream to be: a big ol’ whore. She can’t resist any of her urges, which of course are mostly sexual. During a trip to London in 2002, I was walking across the Thames River and told Shaun I was afraid my impulse gland was broken like in Sins Of The Mind and I might jump into the water. I’m sure that paranoia was triggered by exhaustion and jetlag and not by me being cray.
She’s Too Young
This is another newer one I enjoyed because it’s about a bunch of teenagers getting syphilis. What is there more to say? Marcia Gay Harden is very angry in this movie.
Twisted Desire
There was a time in the 90’s when all of our favorite goody-two-shoes sitcom stars were in Lifetime movies. This one had Clarissa Explains It All’s Melissa Joan Hart seducing Jeremy “Right Kind of Love” Jordan into murdering her parents! What a bitch.
Friends Til The End
Shannen Doherty stars as a girl in a band who becomes the victim of a single white female. This was basically an extra-long episode of 90210. A memorable scene was when the band shot their music video in the desert. Lots of 90’s camera angles.
Mother May I Sleep With Danger?
First of all, this wins the award for best title of a movie ever made. Donna Martin, sporting an extreme bob, is romanced by butt-chinned 90’s hunk Ivan Sergei. In no time, his affection turns into obsession and he traps her in a log cabin. The Wikipedia description says all you need to know: “Laurel (Spelling) discovers that her new boyfriend Kevin (Sergei) is a serial killer, and must escape the mountain cabin in which he is holding her captive by paddling down a river in a canoe at dusk.”
No One Would Tell
Another one starring a couple of our favorite child actors, Kevin Arnold aka my first love, Fred Savage, is a possessive asshole who beats up and eventually murders his girlfriend played by D.J. Tanner! UGH SO GOOD. What would you do if I sang outta tune?
She Fought Alone
Do you guys remember when Brian Austin Green (BAG) and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (TAT) were in hyphen-named puppy love? Tiffani even got a green heart tattooed on her back during this time. Anyway, she plays a bad girl who gets raped by the friend of BAG’s character and nobody believes her.
A Killer Among Friends
Another LOM starring Tiffani Amber, I liked this one so much I had taped it on VHS. TAT plays a cute popular girl who gets murdered down by the river by her jealous friends. I remember the murder scene looked super fake because they used what looked like a blow-up doll. The ringleader of the friends actually moves into TAT’s mom’s (played by Patty Duke!) house after the murder like a creepy ass bitch. Years pass until one of the friends confesses. Still not sure why I liked watching this one over and over. I must be the real creep!
And finally…the #1 LOM: Death of a Cheerleader!
Was this too obvious!? There are countless elements that make this LOM #1 on my list. Kellie Martin plays Angela, a nice high school girl who wants nothing more to be perfect and popular. She watches in envy as queen bee Stacy Lockwood (perfect bitch name) one-ups her in all teen territories, from having the coolest skiing outfit to making the cheerleading squad. Even though Angela is smart, well-liked and part of the Larks (a sorority-type clique at the school), she still can’t accept Stacy Lockwood always being one step ahead of her. One fateful day, Stacy calls Angela a weirdo and Angela stabs her! At first the murder is blamed on the class goth and Angela begins to reap the benefits of being Miss Popular… until her Catholic guilt takes over and she confesses to the murder.
Let me write you a list of why Death of A Cheerleader is my favorite Lifetime movie ever.
- Donna Martin is a snotty ass bitch!
- The fashion mostly consists of chambray, knotted pearls, and gold Jesus crosses.
- There is a strong Catholic theme throughout the whole movie. SO MUCH GUILT
- There is a “taking odd jobs to make enough money to go to the ski trip” montage of Angela – you know how I love montages!
- Cameos include: Valerie Harper as the mom, JOHN LOCKE as the principal, and Uncle Phil Banks from Fresh Prince!
I hate you Stacy Lockwood!!
And now for my revealing negligee…
I AM GIVING AWAY A COPY OF DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER! Not the one above since that was my Netflix copy but I have a brand new one for you all the way from Ebay! Let’s hope it’s not bootleg. Actually if it is, it will make this whole thing even better! To enter, make up your own Lifetime Original Movie and leave it as a comment below. I want a sweet title, a short plot summary and throw in some actors too if you want! Make me laugh, make me gasp, make me shed a tear! The most original and entertaining idea wins!
PS. I will be uploading more LOM screencaps to my Tumblr, including another favorite aspect of them…the shitty looking opening title sequences!

So would anyone know of a movie about a redhead rich girl who falls in love with this guy (a photographer I think) and gets pregnant. He leaves (not knowing she’s pregnant) and her parents kick her out when they find out she’s pregnant. She has a daughter and years later she meets the guy again and they reunite.

Hi, I really hope someone knows what film I’m trying to describe. I watched this movie when I was like 5 years old but it always stuck with me. I’ve been wanting to watch it forever now. Here’s what I remember: The movie is most likely a 90s movie. It’s about a young girl, maybe age 10, whose mother is going to die. The mother might have cancer. The mother also cannot walk. She is only able to move around in a wheelchair. The daughter is very angry at the mom because she doesn’t want her mother to die. In one scene, the girl pushes the wheelchair and her mother goes through some spiderwebs. The mother and daughter live in a small, dark home. At the end of the movie, the girl and an adult male family member are looking down a cliff, remembering the deceased mother. Please PLEASE let me know if you have any idea!!! Those are the only details I remember. Thanks!

So I’m looking for this movie where a girl gets pregnant as a teenager… Her boyfriend is a bad boy but ends up ditching her. I remember distinctly her wearing a leather jacket with a white dress walking near train tracks or some desklate place. She ends up meeting a older guy like way older but they end up together . Her mom doesn’t like the idea of the guy so gets him drunk and puts him in bed with the older sister so it looked like he cheated on her. She is also indecisive about having an abortion.

I am looking for a movie that was out probably in the early 90’s. Can’t remember if it was lifetime or not, but I think it was. There is a guy who has a teen boy and girl. The boy is maybe kidnapped, but don’t act like it. He gives them I want to say ecstasy and soda and bribes them into making a movie. I think he bribes them with a dog or something. I can remember the guy having a camera and picnic basket out in the woods somewhere. I remember the mom finding the boy and confronting the guy, but don’t remember if she hurt or killed him. It seems like the guy was a photographer or something. I was really young when I watched it so I can’t remember much. I want to find this movie for a friend of mine who went through a similar life experience.

hello, I am looking for the name of a lifetime movie from the late 80s maybe early 90s about a married couple who already have like three children and found out they were about to have twins and wanted to give them both up for adoption. After the babies were born the couple who had adopted them only wanted the girl not the boy so the biological mother went to bat for them and won custody bak of both babies.

I think you’re referring to “A Child too Many” starring Michelle Green. But the twins aren’t hers, she became a surrogate mother and they only wanted one, so they decide to put the other one up for adoption. Hope this is the one you are looking for.

OMG I have been trying to find this movie for so long too! I watched it when I was a child! I can’t remember the name at all, I even imagined that it was two sons instead of daughters. The biological child was blonde and the adopted was brunette. Also there was a scene where they had another sibling, a younger one and the psychotic blonde child tried to make the youngest sibling go onto a frozen lake that was still too dangerous walk over. and the younger sibling almost drowned in the freezing lake, I’m not sure but I think the brunette one got blamed for it so the parents started to hate him/her. then at the end they were both falling off a cliff and the mom had to choose between which child she wanted to save but she choose the adopted child…. Please help!

I don’t remember well but it was in late ’90 or early ’00, but isn’t Sin of Innocence I already saw that one!

@Cece The movie you are thinking of is called “Rival” or “The Stalking of Laurie Show” it’s based on a true story.So you probably have a winner already , but my lifetime movie would be called ” Someone help me,” and would fall under “Children in danger category” anyway Mike who’s eleven and played by a young Tommy Knight ( from the Sarah Jane adventures) is being abused by both his stepmom and Dad he tries to tell his teacher, but the parents lie finally , a teacher does believe him and she calls the police who arrest the parents and Mike goes to live with his Mom in England, the Dad would be played by Pierce Brosnan,the stepmom would be played by Anjelica Houston the teacher would be played by Drew Barrymore.

Mine is called “Thou Shall Not Kill”. Mine is about a group of devout teenage Christians, who will do whatever it takes to make sure their classmates stay celibate. Even kill. It would have been filmed in in the mid 90s and would star Emily Schulman (aka Harriet from “Small Wonder”) as Sandy Fuller, the Christian girl gone psycho; Cherie Johnson as her partner in crime, Katrina Thomas; and Maureen Flannigan as her slutty arch rival, Samantha Radomski. She’ll sleep w/ anyone to tick “Sandy” off. Including Sandy’s boyfriend, Ronnie Santucci, played by Michael Cade (of “California Dreams”). Watch what happens when lust is stronger than the bible.

I have to say off the bat I read your blog on the regular and think you are hilarious! My good friend lives in Japan right now and we often send each other your posts like Whaaa? This is so amazing! So we really wanted to come correct for you on this one. Your research and commentary for this post did not go unappreciated. A true delight. Winning “Death of a Cheerleader” would make my winter! Ok here’s what we got for you:
“Can You Hear Me Now?” with a cell-phone product tie-in. Luke Perry is the beleaguered working single father of a sweet and nerdy tomboy played by Noah Cyrus. She gets a wrong-number call from a man (played by Fast and the Furious” star Paul Walker) who says he’s a teenager, but actually he’s a middle aged drifter. She starts meeting him for rendezvouses, and Luke doesn’t know the truth and when he finds out and bugs, Walker convinces Cyrus they should kill her dad together. Luke is a single father and never seems to have time for Cyrus or to listen to her teenage woes so in an act of defiance she agrees. And I mean she’s IN LOVE. So she puts her nerd skills to use and they plan to kill her father by planting a cartridge of deadly gas in his cel to go off when she calls. When the plan is being executed she throws in the title line “can you hear me now?” as her father is being poisoned and falls to his death. She shows one twinge of regret as she hears the phone go dead and looks over at Walker looking shady, but of course sexy.

Title: Mother, May I Have My Tubes Tied?
Synopsis: Judith Light (Who’s the Boss) stars as Dr. Beverly Wyatt, a high-powered fertility specialist harboring a dark secret. Despite her years of groundbreaking work in helping infertile couples conceive children, her only daughter Tamela (played by Tracey Gold) is not actually a child she birthed. In a flashback, we learn that Beverly secretly won Tamela in a high-stakes poker match featuring Lynda Carter, Donna Mills, and the lady who played the receptionist on Moonlighting.
Dr. Wyatt is ecstatic when she learns of Tamela’s pending nuptials to the handsome Brock (Lorezno Lamas) and is even more excited by the prospect of becoming a grandmother. Tamela has other plans when she learns that Brock is not only emotionally abusive but also over-possessive of his hair care products, so she schedules an appointment at a low-cost Family Planning Center because she has no health insurance.
When Tamela arrives for her appointment, who should be her attending physician but her secretly adoptive mother Dr. Wyatt logging some community service time for an unexplained shoplifting conviction.
Will Dr. Wyatt ties Tamela’s tubes?
Tune into to this Lifetime Original Movie to find out….

I liked this one I have faint memories of seeing one on TV while we were on vacation (we didn’t have TV at home, lol). It was about a girl who starts dating a pimp while he assures her he doesnt sleep with any of his hoes. Eventually she becomes a hoe and her mother has to save her. I feel like it was called “Fighting for my Daughter”.

Okay, the name of my movie is “Because I Loved You”. A story about Bryce Fairwood (played by early Rebecca Gayheart) a super mega-popular high school senior. All the boys want to date her but she keeps holding out in order to make them want her more. A nerdy sophmore Sarah Brown (played by Melissa Joan Hart) idolizes the very ground Bryce walks on. Nerdy yet handsome Robert Michaels (played by young Antonio Sabato Jr.) has a crush on Sarah. Sarah, on the other hand, has a major crush on Bryce’s on again, off again man, Taylor Peiris (David Charvet, yum!) and takes no notice of Robert. Bryce finds out about Sarah’s crush on her man and befriends Sarah. Sarah, of course, is overjoyed at this, and doesn’t notice that Bryce is only doing it in order to bring Sarah into her circle so that she may flaunt her relationship with Taylor. The one who does notice is Robert, who begins to pursue Sarah even more in order to distract her from Bryce’s evil plan. All hell breaks loose when Taylor takes things too far and nearly rapes Sarah at Bryce’s mega-awesome birthday party. Robert arrives just in time to retrieve Sarah from the party and take her back to his house. Of course, no one is home, and Robert confesses his love for her. Sarah is disgusted and leaves his house and returns to the party. She arrives just in time as Bryce is telling everyone how ridiculous Sarah is and how she had a childish crush on her awesome man. Sarah remains silent; all the while tears are running down her face. No one sees her standing at the front door as they are too focused on Bryce and laughing at Sarah. Bryce then starts cutting into the birthday cake and that’s when Sarah runs in and snatches the knife away from her and stabs her in the gut, all the while screaming and crying hysterically, “I LOVED YOU AND YOU NEVER LOVED ME BACK. I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU.” We cut to the future when Sarah is in the mental institution, she’s gently rocking herself in the corner of her padded cell with her straight jacket securely tied on her, whispering “It’s because I loved you.” Fin

God, Marie, I can’t breathe I’m so happy with this post.
YESSSS MOTHER MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER. And so many more. (God I’ve seen more of these than I realized! And have so many to catch up on!)
“The Dead Will Rise Again!” is about a young deep Southern cheerleader who is murdered and her body washes up in the Bayou. Her small Louisiana town is abuzz. Was it her young black football star boyfriend? Her quiet backwoods, country best friend? The lone basketball player who hates her for being progressive and being in an interracial couple?
Cast: Hayden Pantierre as the cheerleader, Usher as the football player, because hi, he’s awesome. Awkward bff by Kristen Stewart. YEAHHH.
Because, really, I’m in the South. It should take place here, underneath Spanish moss, fog, and humidity that Tennessee Williams & a Lifetime movie can do justice to.

Love the concept of the post, Marie. Guess I’ll get the ball rolling with the synopses…
My movie’s called ‘Daddy’s Deadly Dancer’ and it’s about Verity (played by Gabrielle Anwar), an aspiring ballerina who lives in a small town in the North East. Verity has had the love and attention of her over-protective millionaire father (played by William Petersen) to herself her whole life after her mother, a famous ballerina (a young Julianna Moore), was murdered during a car-jacking while bringing baby Verity home from the hospital. One day, Verity’s father tells her he’ll be getting re-married and who should it be but Verity’s idol, NYC Ballet’s former principal Alethea (Jaclyn Smith). Verity is initially happy at the news and allows Alethea to guide her as a dancer, even going on a dangerous diet to please her stepmother. But when she discovers Alethea’s gold-digging nature, infidelity with her father’s best friend and cruelty to the family’s Mexican housekeeper, Bonita, Verity is heart-broken and her tears soon give way to murderous rage when plotting Alethea’s downfall….

Omg, when I was a freshman in highschool they totally rolled in the big old tv on a cart and showed us a VHS of “No One Would Tell” to make us kids more aware about abuse! But I couldn’t wrap my mind around Kevin Arnold being a crazy girlfriend beater so the message didn’t sink in until I saw DJ floating to the bottom of the lake! So scandalous…
