Here is a thread about ABBA songs heard on Tv movies, movies, series...
to begin :
The intro of "The Name Of The Game" on "Christine" a 1983 american SF Tv movie by John Carpenter. It is set in 1978.

Does your mother know in Johnny English. Then there are various songs in Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding. Why did it have to be me was in a film but can't remember what it was called. S.0.S was playing in the background of some cop show - the pathologist was an Abba fan. It might have been Taggart. Also heard Abba in the background in various soaps.?

Mamma Mia on Priscilla Queen of the Desert (one of the first thing that plays as a forerunner to getting into ABBA for me), Fernando on some weird Youtube video that has a dancing Statue of Liberty made between 2007 and 2009, Waterloo on an 1985 Agnetha special (very blatant)... Knowing Me Knowing You from an Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) show

There is a film out at the moment (though only in 'art house' cinemas in the UK) called Souvenir, starring Isabelle Huppert, the wonderful French actress. She plays a singer who came second to ABBA in Eurovision (it's fiction). There are numerous references to ABBA, including one comment to the effect that 'the Swedes cheated'! www.imdb.com/title/tt2387692/

... She plays a singer who came second to ABBA in Eurovision (it's fiction)... A Friday quiz: Can you name a film with the actual 1974 runner-up in the cast? (You Brits should know, you gave her all your votes...)

I recently saw Spike Lee's (deliberately) unpleasant 'Summer of Sam' again, and had forgotten that two ABBA songs actually feature in the soundtrack: Fernando right at the beginning, and DQ - when a woman is thrown out of a car in a graveyard in the middle of the night (!)
It kind of gives the lie to the notion that they were ignored in the US, when they're used as period pieces in this very New York, very 1977 film!
