The 10 Most Common Types of Lifetime Movie Titles
{original file name}Lifetime movies are a treasured part of American culture. For 25 years, they have helped us metabolize panic by repurposing our legitimate fears as melodramatic danger-porn, generally revolving around some kind of sexual transgression. But they do kind of blend together after a while! Many of the plots are very similar, but even tougher is that the titles tend to be very repetitive. Here is a sampling of some of Lifetime’s best moments in titular redundancy. (Yes, these are all real.)
