I doubt all classroom instruction was stopped to discuss Zsa Zsa's cat, unlike consequences of thermonuclear war.

That's true. Our teachers would not have felt comfortable discussing that with students.

One nuclear war movie that was interesting was The Miracle Mile. Especially when the nuclear warhead zooms overhead on its way to southern California.

I might have to watch it again now!

On the Beach was a good one, too. From the book by the same name.

That was a very good movie. The book, by Nevil Shute (I think), is very good, too.

Freaking traumatized me. I was 9 when we watched that. I remember all the kids on the school bus the next morning being traumatized too because back then, we had like 3 channels and everyone watched that.

Yep. Same age and everything.

I thought this was a different tv drama. I remember one that was 2 days and it was about a ship in New York harbor that Arab terrorist had smuggled in a crude nuke to blow up New York.

The US agents find it. Try to diffuse it but it blows up anyway.

Anyone remember that one ?

Yes! Was a really tense movie. Don't remember the name.

watched that movie someone had suggested "Threads"..

really cool.

went into more detail about the after effects of a nuclear exchange.

was that ever released in the USA or someone just saw it on Youtube?

anyone notice the irony that the Schwarzenegger movie "True Lies" was about Arab terrorists with a nuke and released in the 1990s..

then there is an actual Arab terrorist attack in 2001-

and really not a single movie in the USA in the last TWENTY YEARS about Arab terrorists attacking the USA?

must just be some really strange coincidence.

good thing we have 562 movies about the Marvel Universe though.

Hollywood tends to steer clear of threats-as-plots-for-blockbusters when they seem too real and recent.

Don't think we'll see any movies like Outbreak or Contagion for a while.

Yeah it's kind of a docudrama. I'm not sure if it was ever released in the USA. I stumbled across it about 15 years ago when I used to download movies off DivX sites. I've always been a fan of the post apocalyptic genre.
