Global Thermonuclear War

[Rubycon]

Besides Miracle Mile and The Day After are there other movies where it actually happens?

The Day After Tomorrow, from the 1980's IIRC? I remember it scaring me...watched it on a B&W TV too.

I was so moved by that movie after all the build up hype over it that I wrote a review for my middle school newspaper about how much it sucked ass...

If you're looking for something along the lines of The Day After, check out Threads.

Dr. Strangelove

I can't believe that this wasn't the first film mentioned.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play...

 

[Iron Woode]

The War Game

 

[chihlidog]

Countdown to Looking Glass is an old one that leads right up to it, but it doesnt actually happen.

Threads. That one is pretty grim. Probably my favorite, though its old and slightly cheesy.

It's one of my favorite genres, but Im not aware of too many films. Looking forward if anyone has more.

 

[BladeVenom]

A Boy and His Dog (well, shows the aftermath.)

Freaky movie.

I liked that movie. Don Johnson and Tiger (dog from Brady Bunch).
