<p dir="auto">Don't ask me why, but I need 1980s TV specials and/or TV movies.<br />
I already have the following: "ABBA In Concert", "ABBA: Words and Music", "Lucy Moves to NBC", "Bungle Abbey", "Heart of a Dog" and "Get Smart, Again!", along with "A Woman's Place: The Image Makers", and a number of Sherlock Holmes TV films.<br />
If anyone has any recommendations for additional ones, please let me know. They can be from any country. (though if they are not in English, they need subtitles).<br />

I believe it was an HBO movie, co-starring a very young Sean Penn.<br />

<p dir="auto">Final Jeopardy is a great tv movie starring the actor who played John Boy on the Waltons. It's about a couple who find themselves stranded in the bad part of the city at night, and have to flee a gang. It's a familiar storyline but never done better than in this TV gem.</p>

<p dir="auto">Fortress (1985)<br />
Over the Edge (1979)<br />
(IMDb says it's from 1979 and that it's a theatrical movie, but it originally aired on HBO in 1981. It was made for the theaters, but was shelved before it was ever released in theaters and was first seen on HBO)(after its success on HBO it was released to select theaters for a short time in 1982).<br />
