Essential Made for TV
Some movies are too epic or too little to be put on the big screen, but occasionally one of these films makes a huge impact on me. The only missing film here is 'Band of Brothers,' and why Flixster will embrace these films and reject the inclusion of the masterpiece of our time is beyond me.

12 Angry Men (1997, PG-13)
A magnificent updating of Lumet's classic. Filled with all of the same emotion and tension, with an all-star cast that brings many of the issues and prejudices into a contemporary light. |

Flight 93 (2005, PG-13)
A very impressive, intensely emotional movie. Granted it is made-for-TV, so the screenplay and cinematography are a little weak, but this one will rock your world. |
