r/LifetimeMoviesTV

so I grew up in the 90s watching the wife beater lifetime movies with my Mom. I don’t really like the new ones but I love the old grainy one’s lol. my wife and I love not only the wife beating movies but the controlling husband or controlling wife ones. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any from the 90s that were really good?

here are the ones I’ve seen

No one would tell
Crimes of passion
Lies of the heart
Betty Broderick
The stranger beside me
The burning bed
mother may sleep with danger
mother knows best
Lies he told told
death of a cheerleader
deadly vowls
The Traci Thurman story
Bastard out of Carolina

Why have Lifetime movies that run on weekends been so bad? It’s all day and on a rainy weekend I like watching Lifetime, but “The Man With My Husband’s Face, “The Boy with my Son’s Face”, “The Son with my Doctor’s Face”and it’s one after another with these stupid movies.

A man comes over to talk to a woman — they may have been friends, or possibly exes/ex-husband and ex-wife. While they’re talking, they get into an argument/fight in the kitchen. I remember the house being near a body of water, possibly a lake, visible from the backyard or kitchen area.

While the adults are distracted arguing, the woman’s young son wanders outside into the backyard, falls into the water, and drowns. When the adults realize he’s missing, they find him in the lake. From what I remember, the movie ends shortly after this scene.

I also vaguely remember the male actor being Kevin Bacon, but I could absolutely be mixing him up with another actor from that era.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’m open to any suggestions because this scene has been stuck in my head for years. And seen this in tv in the early 2000s
