Now I have to suggest Tarantino’s Death Proof 2007.

Back in the 70's there was no cable TV and only 3 real networks. Movie theaters would play just one or two movies for an entire run... So the networks would put out quality "made for TV movies". ABC in particular did a lot of creepy "movies of the week" that kids watched in horror and still remember to this day...like "Satan's Triangle" "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" and "Trilogy Of Terror" which, like Duel, was written by a guy named Rich(?) Matheson. He was a horror writer who wrote a bunch of really good Twilight Zone episodes and a lot of stories that were adapted for TV movies and episodes of various shows. I think part of his appeal for me was the lack of dialog (like in Duel). One of his best TZ episodes was about an old lady living alone and a UFO crashes into her attic and she battles aliens in her house for 30 minutes screaming and crying ...but without words. It's much more stressful that way because it forces you to do the thinking ... Duel did the same thing for me.
