Octopussy

Named here by Potsdamer Platz’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Potsdamer Platz, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
