I'm unable to find anything like you mentioned.  My guess is since it aired only once, you will not find a listing for it now.  And there is no way to determine whether the movie was based on real events or not.  Many times those are just rumors.\n\nAccording to all I have read about the Nightmare series, it originated out of the mind of David Lynch, not out of a real event.  I think the clip of a man being burned in Elm Street refers to the death of Freddy Krueger, when the townspeople lynched him.  Is it possible you are getting another movie confused with the plot of Elm Street?

I thought that in that Movie Creepshow when the husband catches his wife and lover together and he burys them up to their heads in sand and then he video tapes them till they drown.In the movie House of 1000 Corpses was good too,when Otis made one of his victims into "Fish Boy".Dr. Satan in that movie did some good torturing too. If you haven't seen the movie then you got to go rent it.Anyway that's all I can remember right now those two really stuck in my head. Thanks and you have a good day (or night) too.

"Footloose", "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing".\n\nAnd by the way... I'm amused that so many people are suggesting the movie "Grease".  While it is an excellent movie and one of my all time favourites... it was made in the 1970's... not the 80's.

Could it be "Don't Look In The Basement" (1973)? I vaguely remember the premise but I had to check the TCM website.

The movie is called "HARD CONTACT".....coburn is a hit man in Europe. One of his targets is a Nazi war criminal. Black plays a prostitute being raped by the nazi.

I was brought to tears when I saw the twin towers at the end of that film. of course 9-11 is an emotional subject, but i was broken up more because of the huge significance and symbolism of the scene. the movie is a beautiful illustration of how violence only begets violence, and showing the WTC just showed how until this cycle is broken, that events of 1947 will lead to events of 1972 will lead to events of 2001. i will never understand why people keep thinking that the solution to 9-11 and other attacks is the same, ridiculously ineffective reaction man always comes up with.  it is like repeatedly throwing gasoline onto forest fires and insisting every time that it is starting to put it out.

There was a Sylvester Stallone movie from 1981 called "Victory". It was about a group of POW's that get a soccor game against the Germans, but really do it as an escape plan.

"Man on Fire" wasn't based on a true story. It's the remake of a 1987 film.  The film was originally based on a series of books by author A. J. Quinnell.

I don't think it was Chariots of Fire, I don't think there was anything about drugs in that movie. It sounds a little bit like a made-for-TV movie named Finish Line, but that came out in the 80s.

Johannesburg? Where a black female from the Johannesburg slums accidentally trod, (figuratively speaking) on the toes of a white man and got herself thrown into the clink?\nOr the movie where two females are in Asia and meet a fellow male traveler and he woo es one of the gals then when they are leaving, he puts drugs into her back pak and she is caught and they are both thrown into the Japanese? prison for years while their families and friends try to get them out. Then only one gets to go free and the other has to spend the rest of her life behind bars, and they both have to decide which one goes free. Now that I think of it, it wasn't a bad movie, too bad I can't remember the name of the movie. \nOr are you thinking of the WWII movie, a recent one, where all the White females left behind in Japan? are herded into a POW camp and they form a musical band, ( the woman who was tortured for disobedience by being forced to kneel with her hands tied behind her back in the blazing sun with a sword under her throat and if she became weary and dropped her head she will be beheaded, was a good scene) based on a true story, sorry I can't remember the name of that movie either.
