Your opinion of best apocalyptic movie.

[Side-Oilers]

+1 on first Planet of the Apes.  That last scene is powerful.

Hands down the 1959 version of On The Beach

Hands down the 1959 version of On The Beach

"Best" is a tough call to classify it as. I'd say "way to effin realistic". It's VERY disturbing and if it doesn't move you, best check for a pulse, you may be dead?

Watch it, if you dare. It'll set you strait.

Another vote for "On the Beach" and a close Second Place for "Soylent Green" with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson

[The Going Thing]

Soylent Green... I had forgotten about that one. I would venture to guess It's because it was released in 1973 and I was eight.  There is actually a product out for human consumption called Soylent.  We already know soybeans aren't good for the human digestive system.
However, knowing the background and the movie I think I'll pass.

In the Omega Man flick when the black robed creeps jacked up Chucks mustang paint job with fire, it was game on after that. Imagine if you were driving home and that happened to your newly delivered Ford GT Heritage. Things could get ugly and right quick.

True, but that is fantasy. I've been cautioned officially here about the use of firearms to protect my vehicles from theft. Seems that the crooks have more rights then I do?

God forbid, they aren't registered? I could go to jail for 20 years if I used an unregistered hand gun.

The local PD wants to know how I can prove that someone sitting in the drivers seat with the engine running in my driveway is stealing my car? You know, I don't know how to answer that?

Let's get to the end of the road by having fun against all odds: "Gumball Rally".

I own Gumball rally. The precursor to Cannonball Run.  Hard to believe that was a real 427 Cobra. Surprisingly many people actually thought a Ferrari was faster....

My vote for "The Sound of Music."  Never trusted Julie Andrews. She looks like a total world domination kind of gal.

You didn't know she was Gestapo? <snicker>

You know? She was always suspiciously comfortable in that movie? I wonder what her DNA test indicates?

Anyone see the movie "The Road". Very scary portrayal
And of the Kevin Costner Apocalyptic Trilogy "Waterworld" "The Postman" and his minor part in the movie "Testament" , it's really a good one, better than "Day After" 
Another nuclear holocaust movie " Special Bulletin" made for TV, has an unbelievable ending

I was actually watching Dr.Strangelove or is it Strangeglove, last night. I needed the senseless frivolity.

Sellers definitely had that ability to turn something so serious into a round of ridiculous non-sense.

Cheers Mr.Peter.

We all need to be sure of the Purity of Essence of our bodily fluids? 


I'll also agree that riding along a beach and finding the torch of the "Statue of Liberty" sticking out of the sand is a very troubling thought as well. Actually Sunshine was pretty hot and even better, she didn't talk?

I grew up seeing the real statue every day. One day it just hit me as if I just saw it for the first time. It's very emotional when that happens. Difficult to hide your tears from the children. They don't understand.
