To reply to my own question I’ll throw out one that I haven’t seen mentioned here for others interested.
Poor Devil (1973), a TV movie aired on NBC that failed to get picked up as a regular series. It’s more in line with the weaker comedy episodes of the Twilight Zone or that one Night Gallery segment where a hippie gets sent to Hell.
It even co-stars Twilight Zone alum Jack Klugman as a down on his luck accountant. A demon (also on a losing streak) played by Sammy Davis Jr. tries to get Klugman to sell him his soul to appease Lucifer player by Dracula era Christopher Lee. Adam West is also featured as Klugman’s jerk co-worker.
If you Google Poor Devil (1973) you should be able to find the whole thing on YouTube and elsewhere. Definitely recommended if you don’t mind cheesy comedy from the 1970’s.
I'll definitely have to check some of those out! Thank you for all the suggestions.
In particular I'm intrigued by The Set-Up because in addition to being a Twilight Zone fan, I love combat sports. So a lot of boxing movies interest me.
Also, The Tall Target sounds fun just based on that weird coincidence involving the protagonist's name. It almost sounds like a low key time traveler dropped a hint in that movie prior to the JFK assassination. Yeah, sounds like ;)
Great choices so far guys! Because they at minimum fit my criteria and I haven’t seen any of the ones mentioned so far except Dead of Night, which was tremendous. I’ll definitively check out the other three mentioned so far :)
