Which ones would you recommend?
One everybody knows and talks about is On the Beach from 1959 with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Anthony Perkins...and it's a very chilling movie, the end of it, *shivers*, I cringe everytime just thinking about it.
Another that I remember fondly (somehow) is The Day After, which many people compare to and pass over for its English redoing, Threads. The Day After freaked the HELL out of me, because it is awful to think about and as horrifying as what you see is, you know, and they say it at the end, the movie couldn't come close to comparing how bad it would be if the real thing happened.
Control. A lesser known movie from 1987, not exactly about nuclear winter and fallout, but a great and in my opinion, horrifying look at what modern (for the 80s) life would be like in a shelter, you have 15 people, women and men, adults and kids, crammed together in an enclosed space that they must live in together for 20 days to complete the experiment, and on the last day an announcement is made that the real thing is about to happen, and they have to decide if they let the people outside in and take the risks, or protect themselves and let everybody else die.
This is Not a Test! from 1962 I believe...corny, campy, laughably bad in many parts but the ending can still scare the hell out of you, I think...I saw that one night a couple years back, it ended at 3 in the morning and I went to bed kind of wide eyed and all in awe at it.
Those are about the only ones I've seen so far, anybody else got some to recommend?
