Off the top of my head, I’d add Race with the Devil, The Hitcher, and Breakdown to the list.

Re Duel, I prefer the original TV movie version, which excludes the padding added later to allow for a theatrical release overseas. It’s leaner & meaner…and one can imagine just how jarring it would’ve been to see on the ABC Movie of the Week!

Love the Hitcher and Breakdown... haven't seen Race with the Devil or if I have, it's been ages. I imagine a lot of kids got speeding tickets after watching these films at the drive-in and tearing out into the streets afterwards.
