Favorite Nuclear Holocaust Movie?

[Jack Dracula]

I read a book as a kid called Alas, Babylon. It freaked me out as only a great story can. I just Googled it to see if a movie had ever been made from it, and it’s only ever had a TV adaptation on Playhouse 90 an old anthology show from CBS.

I read that back in the '80s and had completely forgotten about it until just now.
Yeah, that's a great story.

On The Beach

I struggled to watch this film despite it having Gregory Peck and Fred Astire, maybe I will give it another go.

Damnation Alley... A great 1970’s apocalyptic B movie.
It’s got George Peppard in it, that’s all you need to know

Those god damned mutated cockroaches gave nightmares for weeks.

I remember watching a program on T.V. that was done like a news report--as if we really were in the middle of nuclear armageddon--sort of like Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast. I guess this was 1983's SPECIAL REPORT, from Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz.

That was Special Bulletin that I mentioned above--it had the feel of Welles' War or the Worlds radio broadcast and you can see it in its entirety on YT

Threads for sure. A downer, but a compelling one.

Oops sorry, the title didn't register with me when you posted it earlier in the thread. And for some reason, I always felt like this broadcast was in the early 1970s not the early 1980s, but when I tried to track it down, it seemed that SPECIAL BULLETIN must be the one I was thinking of.
