1. Luke Perry, A Gunfighter's Pledge, 2008
The plot summary from IMDB (I can't even begin to break this one down): “A escaped prisoner kills the wife and son of a former sheriff, Matt Austin, who sent him to jail long ago. Austin rides in pursuit and locates his quarry in a small town saloon. During the ensuing gunfight, an innocent bystander is shot and the murderer escapes. As a penance, the ex-lawman agrees to help the dead rancher's wife fend off a land baron's attempt to steal her property for its valuable water rights.”

From IMDB: “Making good on a promise he made to his dying wife, a widower (Jones) opens a reading room, a place where people can learn to read.”
-
5. Julie Andrews, One Special Night, 1999
Grossest tagline ever.
-
6. Neil Patrick Harris, The Wedding Dress, 2001
The wedding dress in question jinxes every bride who plans to wear it, so that everyone ends up a spinster just like the audience.
-
7. Taraji P. Henson, Taken From Me, TBD
Deadline reports that Taraji will star in Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story, which will incorporate elements of a spy thriller.
-
8. Ryan Reynolds, School Of Life, 2005
Ryan plays Mr. D, the hip young art teacher with lung cancer. I urge you to read the rest of the plot here. It involves (SPOILER) the math teacher inheriting a dead Mr. D's car.
-
9. Thora Birch, Pregnancy Pact, 2010
(Based on the true story.) I can't even tell which girl is Thora. Teeny, what happened to you?!
-
10. Jason Priestly & Bradley Cooper, I Want To Marry Ryan Banks, 2004
This is pre-Wedding Crashers, so we probably shouldn't hold it against Bradley Cooper. He was just trying to make it big. Brandon, on the other hand…
-
11. Joan Allen And Jeremy Irons, Georgia O'Keeffe, 2009
Fine, they were nominated for SAG Awards, it's not that embarrassing.
-
12. Andrew McCarthy, Straight From The Heart, 2003
This is what Teri Polo was up to between breaking Josh Charles' heart on Sports Night and being First Lady II on West Wing. In case you'd been wondering.
-
13. Patrick Swayze (RIP), King Solomon's Mines, 2004

-
14. Ally Sheedy, Citizen Jane, 2009
With a special appearance by Meat Loaf!
-
15. Jennie Garth, Girl, Positive, 2007
Kelly Taylor, I remember when you were having pregnancy scares of your own. (She had one, right? I remember Brenda's, but then they all went to not-UCLA and I'm just assuming it happened at some point to Kel. Dylan had some strong swimmers, if I recall.)
-
16. Paul Dano, Too Young To Be A Dad, 2002
This is really unfair, given how young Paul was at the time, but he was so cute!
-
17. Shirley MacClane, Coco Chanel, 2008
:/
-
18. Brian Austin Green, This Time Around, 2003
BAG is the high school BMOC-turned-loser to some chick's nerd-turned-“record producer.” Hijinks ensue.
-
19. Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Love Letter,
Post-Single White Female, pre-marrying-Noah-Baumbach-so-he'd-write-roles-for-her.
-
20. Molly Shannon & Steven Weber, More Of Me, 2007
3 Molly Shannons in 1 Lifetime movie. Yikes.
-
21. Jennifer Beals, My Name Is Sarah, 2007
It just so happens that the only of these movies I've seen is also the only movie that doesn't merit a promo poster.
-
22. Gérard Depardieu, La Femme Musketeer, 2004
Jacques D'Artagnan gets a daughter!
-
23. Anthony Michael Hall, Final Approach, 2007
AMH plays the terrorist hijacker to Dean Cain's disgraced FBI negotiator.
-
24. Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Amish Grace,
Yes, that is the cute daughter from Father of the Bride who used to date Pete Sampras. She's been in several TV movies, but I chose this one because I wanted to know the plot of Amish Grace. It is as follows: Amish schoolgirls are taken hostage and killed, most Amish people forgive the gunman, Kimberly cannot, Kimberly struggles, maybe sleeps with a non-Amish dude (it didn't say, I'm just guessing), Kimberly re-finds faith and forgiveness and forgets about her dead kid.
-
25. Lindsay Lohan, Labor Pains, 2009
Lindsay fakes pregnancy in order to keep her job. BASED ON THE TRUE STORY.
-
26. Shannen Doherty, Christmas Caper, 2007
Shhh, don't tell anyone I was in this movie.
-
27. Tori Spelling, A Carol Christmas, 2003
Tori Spelling plays Carol, a shallow tv-host who is visited by ghosts of various temporal modalities so that she can become a better person. It's a least a clever title.
-
28. Jennifer Love Hewitt, The Client List, 2010
3.9 million people watched this show.

i think ryan reynolds was the history teacher in School Of Life rather than the art teacher. Regardless, it still deserves to be on the list.

I'm ashamed to say I saw Coco Chanel (partly because it was godawful and partly it was only because I couldn't find my remote), but what the hell where they thinking? Not only is Shirley MacLaine barely in it, but she doesn't even attempt to use a french accent. Just embarrassing.
-
I kinda want to watch “A Carol Christmas”. It stars not only Tori Spelling, but Gary Coleman and William Shatner. That's gold right there..

Forgot this one.

Prayers for Bobby wasn't even a “TV Movie” it was an independent film that was really fucking good. If you watch that movie without crying you have no soul.
-
The reason you can't tell which girl is Thora is because she's not in the picture. She plays the sassy blogger investigating the story while befriending the preggo teenagers. Yes, I have seen The Pregnancy Pact. No regrets.
-
Uh “Prayers for Bobby” should not be on this list!
-
What about Odd Girl Out, starring Alexa Vega! That is a Lifetime Jewel!
-
I've only heard good things about the Georgia O'Keefe movie, as well. It's easy to just poke fun at any Lifetime movie, but have you guys even seen any of these?
-
I strongly disagree with Prayers For Bobby. That movie was amazing.

I've seen quite a few of these and if you're into generic, barely watchable movies then they are pretty okay.

i love how the final approach poster is blatantly designed after the transporter series posters

Prayers for Bobby was actually pretty good. Got me choked up. Also apparently was nominated for 2 Emmys, a Golden Globe and a SAG Award. Have you seen any of these or this just basically “The Worst Made-For-TV Poster Art You've Ever Seen?”
