80's and 90's movies (TV and feature length) that might be worth checking out.

A thread to mention some of the obscure ones or the good ones - or even some that aren't so great but you have fond nostalgia for. Pasting over some titles from the Season 4? thread.
Buried Alive (from 1990) with Jennifer Jason Leigh. There's another one called Sister Sister with her and Eric Stoltz I haven't seen yet but have added to watchlist. Another one with her is Heart of Midnight, a weird little thriller/horror. And of course my favourite movie of the 90's featuring her is the not obscure ut nevertheless underrated Dolores Claiborne from 1995.
Running Against Time from 1990 about a man trying to stop the JFK assassination
Trapped (1989) - a woman and a man trapped with a killer in a building, stars Kathleen Quinlan
Feature film called I, Madman
Agatha Christie ones including Appointment with Death (1988) with Piper Laurie, and an adaptation of Ten Little Indians from 1989 set on a safari.
A thriller called Deceived from 1991 with Goldie Hawn
action/thriller movies like Midnight Run (1988) and Shoot to Kill (1988)
Death Dreams (1991) with Marg Helgenberger and Christopher Reeve (Youtube).
A few with Melissa Gilbert - The Lookalike, Dying To Remember, Blood Vows, House of Secrets I haven't rewatched yet and aren't on the list.
Another one - The Night Caller (1998).
And one has a typically melodramatic subtitle - "River of Rage: The Taking of Maggie Keene" (1993). Victoria Principal from "Dallas" in a version of "The River WIld" a year earlier. It's on Youtube. As are many of these mentioned here. Some of them are also on dailymotion, and some on Disney Plus, Netflix, Now TV, etc. But the TV movies tend to show up on dailymotion or youtube or one of the other sites.
A comedy that's pretty weird called LA Story (1991) with Steve Martin
The Hidden (1987) with a younger Kyle MacLachlan a couple of years before he became Agent Cooper - I still haven't seen this one but it's on my list. I've seen most of the other ones mentioned above, or saw them back in the day and dimly remember them, but a couple I haven't seen and are on my list to watch.
