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

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...

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.

Special Bulletin, a TV movie from the 80s is also good. Home-made nuke detonated in Charleston by domestic terrorists.
