Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Fantastic new version
This is really a fantastic new version of the original show. If you look at the voting delineation, you'll see that almost 10% of the votes were 1 (worst). It should be obvious that the contingent of offended fans of the original series are responsible to this.
Why? Because an actor from the original series wasn't involved in this new version. Most of them proudly say they haven't even watched this.
Grow up guys, you're not fooling anyone. This was very well done.
Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (1987)
The worst part? The music.
Possibly the worst scored of all the Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man shows and movies. The music is distracting, inappropriately timed, and bad.
The Stand (1994)
An excellent adaptation of one of the hardest books to film.
The book is a large story which wouldn't fit into a movie without serious cuts, but director Mick Garris uses the Mini-Series format to effectively and skillfully tell the defining story about what happens AFTER the end of the world.
Beautiful scenery and a well mixed score make this a compelling movie to watch. If you've read the book or even if you're new to Stephen King, this is an excellent story.
A Town Has Turned to Dust (1998)
Better then most "Sci-Fi Channel Original Movies"
A Town Has Turned to Dust is hand above the average schlock that comes out under the handle "A Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie". Honestly, with their key demographic, why do they foist things like "Bombshell" and "Cyberjack" on us?
This movie, however, is different. Apparently based on a Rod Serling script , A Town Has Turned To Dust combines strong story telling, subtle effects, and well wrangled acting to form an enjoyable and thoughtful story.
Ron Perlman's character is surprisingly multi-faceted and can be identified with though his actions might be considered reprehensible.
All in all, this was a very strong piece of film making. I hope we see more of its style on the Sci-Fi Channel.
