The Best Nuclear War Films

[Lostpuppy]

I liked it.

The reality as you said in your quote , of some radical outfit attacking, a chilling example!

"The Day After, " "" Threads," and "Letters from a Dead Man" are all very good nuclear war films, too. It's very hard to get "Letters" with English subtitles (it's from Russia) but sometimes a dvd will pop up on Amazon or Ebay. The first two are in English.

Two nuclear war movies in one night? Talk about glutton for punishment!

Why not add When The Wind Blows? Make it a marathon!

This should be on the soundtrack:

Radiation will be the least of your issues once it is at safe levels. Population left is the real danger. Your supplies maybe shared more than you intended.

well that on it's self will be a gamble cause with out law there is barbarism and so rules wont apply to those who lived in them and now you have a mad max world or worse.

I remember being told by a character called Leonard Fraser that you could process a human carcass much like a feral pig. Described the various cut equivalents to a pig body. Was a creepy conversation. Turns out he was a serial killer who has since passed away in prison. Known to have murdered at least 5 women but probably many more. He would butcher his victims as if they were pigs for meat with all the victims found to be in multiple pieces. Glad I never accepted any of his home butchered chops.

Long pig

Long pig

yep, long pig. Saw some of his chops and the flesh was a nice pale pink just like normal pork and that is what it smelt like when cooked. Have never been a fan of pork or bacon since then. Only recently have I been able to eat bacon again.

Not a nuclear war film in the traditional sense, but in my opinion, a very accurate rendition of what a radiological terrorist attack would look like.

As a fireman @DEFCON Warning System did you ever have to prepare for CBRN incidents?

I remember seeing that a long time ago. I believe that was made shortly after 9/11. It still makes me shudder to think how unprepared we are for that type of event. I definitely know that our public health services will struggle to respond to a major radiological or biological attack in a major city.

 

[DEFCON Warning System]

No. We did not have the equipment necessary to deal with it. We'd block off the area according to Hazmat guidelines and let Nest or whoever deal with it.

Just found this one on the tube.

This mock documentary uses archival footage, interviews and reports taken out of context and staged interviews to highlight a possible escalation into a nuclear war. In this feature, tension in East Germany, and an uprising triggered by a visit by Gorbachev sees a successful military coup taking place in the USSR. Western actions against brutal crack-downs on civilians involved increases tension between the sides, finally resulting in nuclear war.

I have a story about this:

I saw this movie on YouTube years ago. Thought it was one of the best WWIII movies I ever saw, so I wanted to buy it to support the studio.

Looked and looked and couldn't find a copy to purchase. So I tracked down the producer and sent him an email telling him I loved the movie and wanted to buy it but couldn't find it.

Producer Robert Stone wrote back to me and said if I PayPal'ed him $20, he'd burn me a copy.

Fastest $20 I ever sent!

I like this movie. I've seen it at least 3 times.

Without Warning 1994 found this treasure.

Without Warning 1994 found this treasure.

This was one of the most frustrating movies I ever saw.

Aliens send an incomprehensible message, part of which gets lost. They then send a rock hurtling toward Earth and get offended when Earth tries to defend itself.

These have to be the stupidest aliens in the universe!
