PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: Confession

Confession

If you know me IRL or follow me on twitter, you know my affinity for Lifetime Movies. I just realized last night that I don't think I've ever shared this love on my blog!

I have watched Lifetime movies for as long as I can remember! My parents had Dish Network at their house, so I got Lifetime Movie Network from a young age!

I can literally watch Lifetime movies back-to-back-to-back all day if they are having a marathon. I love Pick-a-Flick Fridays, Twisted Tuesdays, Affairs of The Heart and any other marathons they have.

Chances are if you come over, my TV will always be on LMN.

I truly think I am getting close to having seen every movie on Lifetime Movie Network. My favorites are always the ones that involve cheating and scandal, but I can definitely still get into the ones about eating disorders and not fitting in as a teenager.

Here is just a BRIEF list of some of my all-time favorites:

- Mother May I Sleep With Danger


"Based on the book by Claire R. Jacobs. A naive college student (Tori Spelling) falls in love with a charming pathological liar, credit card scammer and murderer (Ivan Sergei). When her mother (Lisa Banes) attempts to break off the relationship, the crazed boyfriend abducts her daughter and hides her in his cabin in the woods."

- Co-ed Call Girl


"Joanna is just another struggling college student who's strapped for cash. But she passes on taking out student loans or working some menial job to earn a buck. Instead, Joanna becomes a high-priced prostitute to pay her tuition bills. But she's in for more of an education than she could ever imagine in this ugly world. Tori Spelling is at her best in this flick — we promise!"

- Seduced and Betrayed


"Victoria Landers seems to be missing one word from her vocab: no. So when her hunky new contractor, a happily married man, shoots down her seductions, this black widow doesn't quit till he eventually gives into the passion. Wait till the guy tries to ditch his new crazy-as-hell mistress. Actually, there's another word Victoria doesn't know the meaning of: rejection! Susan Lucci's over-the-top performance makes her "All My Children" antics look dull in comparison."

- The Babysitter's Seduction


"High school student Michelle adores the kids that she baby-sits for. When this family's mom is mysteriously murdered, the teen really wants to be there for the children and the grieving dad. And he wants her support — but he wants to get her into bed too! Before long, the naive girl is sleeping with this much-older man, and becomes the police's number one suspect in the process. Is she being framed?"

- Lying Eyes

"Amy, a popular high school cheerleader, is caught up in a whirlwind courtship with the much older Derek, complete with expensive dinners, lavish jewelry and beach weekends. But their fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending — not when Amy discovers her sugar daddy is married. Just as she breaks things off with him, someone begins to stalk and terrorize her. Is it her jilting ex or someone else?"

- No One Would Tell


"Based on a true story. Sixteen-year old Stacy is thrilled to be dating Bobby, the star of the school wrestling team. However, Bobby is very controlling and their puppy love soon escalates into horrific violence."

- Dying to Belong


"Hoping to fit in with the cool kids, freshmen Shelby and Lisa decide to pledge a sorority. One night, as they're performing the degrading tasks demanded of them by their fellow "sisters," Shelby falls from the campus clock tower and dies, an apparent suicide. Lisa searches to uncover the truth about her friend's death and the goings-on within her new sinister sisterhood."

- A Face to Die For


"The bad news? Emily has a disfigured face and just got sent to jail for a crime her low-down hubby committed. The good news? Because of a fluke prison incident, she got amazing plastic surgery and is now a stunning beauty. Her ex will never see her coming - boy, is she gonna get even! Based on Marvin Werlin's book, "The Face.""

- A Kiss So Deadly


"A bizarre love triangle develops when a father has a secret fling with his daughter's flirtatious roommate. This sexually deviant dad goes from robbing the cradle to stalking and then turns outright deadly when the affair starts to fizzle. It's fun watching the charming Charles Shaugnessy (from "The Nanny") play such a creepy character."

What are some of your favorites?

I love them too! I love the ones that are based on true stories, like the one with Brooke Shields where she moves to Silicon Valley to work in computers and gets stalked by the guy who played John Boy Walton. Awesome! Also love the one about Genarosa and Ted Ammon, where she slept with a plumber who then killed her husband! Awesome! We don't have Lifetime here... it's very sad.

Day Old News said...

This will shock you given my affinity for television, but I've never seen a single Lifetime movie!

My favorites are: "7 things to do before I'm 30" and "A Boyfriend for Christmas". Of course, Hubs thinks they're SO cheesy!

Katie said...

Ha! I just watched Mother May I Sleep With Danger last night! I love that Tori Spelling seems to play the same girl in all of the shows/movies - just with different hair.

Amy @ Forever 29 said...

Reminds me of college! My bestie and I would always get sucked in..usually to the ones about stealing babies.

Lexilooo said...

No One Would Tell! Kevin Arnold and DJ Tanner! I love that one! I also loved Switched at Birth....

Sweet Simplicity said...

I haven't watched many lifetime movies in the last couple of years, but "A Face to Die For" and "Coed Call Girl" are two of my old favorites.

Samma said...

Lindsey Leigh said...

coed call girl, mother may i sleep with danger aaaaand babysitter seduction are all ones I enjoy. I have a serious problem with LMN and Lifetime in general. it seriously messes with my productivity. Especially when Reba and Still Standing were playing back 2 back every day on Lifetime. Haha have you seen William and Kate? Ugh, disappointment! I thought it sucked.

Misty said...

I love all the Tori Spelling movies. And I just watche the William and Kate one over the weekend. Ha!

m. said...

Amanda Leigh said...

SLynnRo said...

A Friend to Die For. CLASSIC.

Tillie said...

Um I totally own Babysitters Seduction and 15 and Pregnant {w/Kirsten Dunst}. No judging :)

ashley said...

Oh my gosh. Those are some of my favorites too. I no longer have cable (too busy of a schedule) but have seen all of those movies. I sadly have a soft spot for Lifetime movies and pretty sure I watched LMN all through college.

Loove this post!

Kandice said...

noone would tell and a face to die for are some of my favorites also!

mMe said...

Just watched my first one on Saturday! It was the 90's so the clothes were hilarious.

At least I'm skinny said...

I'm glad the Tori Spelling and Candace Cameron made the list! Those are two of my faves.

Stephanie said...

I love Coed Call Girl too. My ultimate favorite is with Ricki Lake, where, as an overweight single woman, she uses food to win the heart of her handsome, Swayze-like neighbor. Can anyone help me with the name of this movie?

Anonymous said...

OMG Megan! You haven't ever told your readers that you love the LMN! I am dying! This is like not telling them that you love skincare! Girl, I love you and your LMN movie addiction!

alex said...

DYING TO BE THIN! I used to watch it all the time :D love this post!

Geniev said...

I loooved 'Dying to Be Thin' and the one where Tori Spelling is the popular cheerleader and the dorky girl is so jealous that she kills her with a knife that she keeps in the car!?

Sasha said...

It's not a Lifetime movie, but I am obsessed with "Friends 'Til the End" with Shannen Doherty..... from IMDB: "An emotionally disturbed and hyper-competitive young woman schemes to land a spot as the lead singer in a local rock band while her childhood girlfriend also wants the spot." It's a made-for-TV movie.... does that count? :-)

Also, "The Curve" is fabulous.

HOPE said...

I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one who has this addiction. I swear between my mom, my sister and I, we can be glued to the couch all day watching these epic movies....haha! My all time favorite is the Party Never Stops. Its a real classic on the danger on binge drinking.....which might have been all of college for most of us. :)
Ohh yeah there is also a Coco Chanel movie on my Lifetime that is a must see!

Love Lifetime movies! No One Would Tell is a classic. My personal fave is Unwed Father... Yes, I still think Brian Austin Green is hot!
