still good though

I agree with you.

Tv movies are different to episodic programmes.

Shame as i would have liked to throw in some Doctor Who, Day of the Triffids, The Nightmare Man, Blakes-7 etc.

You could always put in the Peter Cushing jobs.

That goes without saying.

I nearly included the Peter Cushing Dr Who's but there were sooo many to choose from, perhaps the next list could be horror/sci-fi t.v episodes? These lists are great, after compiling my sci-fi list I realise how much effort people are putting in. It is helping me compile another list of 'need to see' films.

Great list, cant believe I missed off The Blob, I even like the remake. some films on there Ive never heard of ( more for my 'to see list') and some I never thought about even though Ive seen them. A boy and his dog, cult stuff.

Thanks - I may tweak it a bit yet.

Damn! That was my surprise wildcard.

I suppose The Day of the Doctor as well seeing as it had a cinema release in the UK and US among other countries.

Wow, a few of the lists here are shocking. Not what i expected would have cropped up at all.
