By far, the most entertaining and hilarious channel on television is the Lifetime Movie Network.
I can't count how many times I've spent my days off just watching LMN. It's an addiction. I'll start watching one, and end up watching 4 or 5, right in a row.
Is there anybody out there who loves the Lifetime Movie Network as much as I do?

There was one where some woman was trying to save some girl, and she was being "attacked" by dogs, but all the dogs did was grab her thick layers of clothing and pull and yank a bit. And she went down screaming. There was some view of fake dogs attacking her, too. I'm guess this was a straight to video movie. But otherwise, not really. You may want to go to Lifetime movie channel Anomynous.(SP) |

The best ones are about weighty subjects, like eating disorders, terminal diseases, and sexual assault. Because they can be so badly done it's hillarious and tragic at the same time.
Honestly, there aren't ANY channels I can turn to for GARUNTEED greatness, except for the Lifetime Movie Network.

I have the same type of addiction, but it's on those half assed movies they show on the Sci-Fi channel on the weekends.
Comic gold.

I do not watch Lifetime because it is for women and I am not a woman.
Also, stealing is bad and I want to be good.

Are you talking about the direct to cable type monster movies on Sci Fi? I've watched several of them hoping someone will revive the low budget campy sci fi genre but their mostly just so bad their not fun. Putting crapy CG in the hands of low budget filmmakers is a pox on civilization. |

I usually find a cheesy yet entertaining one in the bunch like Tales From the Hood, Alien Cargo, or an airing of a Child's play movie from time to time. They make great home riffing material. |

I recently watched Dinocroc and it was indeed a croc. |

I think Tobe Hooper's Crocodile did somewhat capture the 50's cheap sci fi vibe. I don't dislike it. For what it is.
