I think mine is A Face to Die For with Yasmine Bleeth.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
I like DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER (with Kelly Martin & Tori Spelling). It was originally called A FRIEND TO DIE FOR, which I think was a better title. (I wonder why they changed it.) Anyway, it's about this homely girl who is constantly picked on by this popular cheerleader she admires and hoped to befriend, and in a fit of rage the girl stabs the cheerleader to death. It's based on a true story.

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

Lesley Ann Warren was good in that, Wanna Be a Foster.
Have you seen the mockumentary version of the story with Holly Hunter? It's pretty great.

There was a Lifetime movie (that says it all!) a while back in which Tori Spelling played a nice college girl who started working for an escort service. I think it was called "Coed Call Girl" or something like that. It was so bad it was good!
Confessions of a Sorority Girl with Jamie Luner, Alyssa Milano, and Brian Bloom is a lot of fun. It was made as a throwback to the "youth gone wrong" films of the late 50s like Sorority Girl and Teenage Confidential.

My all-time favorite Lifetime movie titles are "SHE WOKE UP PREGNANT" and "MY DAUGHER, THE STREETWALKER." Just classic!

This question comes up regularly, and my list never changes.
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
Damn, these are getting me all excited. Why aren't they out on DVD? They're classics!

Oh...and Markie Post "Chasing the Dragon" (freebasing) and Meredith Baxter Birney as a bulimic and Tuesday Weld as an elder abuser, mom was Geraldine Fitzgerald and the Tony Geary movie about herpes and the Judith Light movie where she beats her husband, played by Peter Strauss.
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
"Secret Cutting", starring the inimitable Sean Young as a worried mother with a depressed, insecure daughter who secretly slices her own flesh with razor blades and hides the scars from her family, until her mother finds her panties in the laundry with little neat blood-lines on them.
Delish!
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
Jaily, the typical mother would just assume she was menstruating.

The true classic TV movies, were done in the 70's. Films like, CAGE WITHOUT A KEY with Susan Dey, and WOMEN IN CHAINS, with Lois Nettleton, Jessica Walter and Ida Lupino! They're the ones I want on DVD! Those and about a hundred others.
It wasn't menstrual blood...it was little neat, perfect lines of blood up near the waistband, because she always cut herself right under the waist of her panties so nobody would see the cuts.
