Your opinion of best apocalyptic movie.

[FL SAAC]

It's got to be "Gone with the wind"

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

No, no, no changed my mind. The most apocalyptic award winning film ever produced has to be Blacula.

Was the award given to that film for the most patrons who demanded a refund?

[FL SAAC]

No, this masterpiece of a film depicting mans inhumanity to man or in this case... apocalypticism recieved several academy awards.  Thus catapulting a sequel, yes a sequel of this phenomenal jandra "scream Blacula scream"  aka Blacula # 2.

This second film also worn several major awards in the 70s. The main actor also received the noble peace prize for being the noblest actor in 1972.

If you haven't seen either we highly recommend you rent, no donr rent, purchase (yes its that good!) both so you can watch numerous times and add them to your visual collection to impress your friends. Betcha none have these two cultural apocalyptic films in their homes!

I'm on the lookout fro zombies. None yet. Mostly still just Dominicans from the Bronx. The come here, look for toilet paper, get tested (to raise our numbers) then have a party in the driveway banging on steel drums.

Why does it have to be steel drums?

It could be RAP!  ( You can't spell CRAP without it!)

[shelbydoug]

No, no. This is oil drums they beat on with tire irons. Rap had some value. This must be what you do in La Dominica on Sabado noche at the dump?

I wonder how the frequency changes depending on the caliber of the bullets they get shot with? Hum? I need to be careful. I wouldn't want to shoot any rats?

Since dropping DirecTV I've been searching for streaming content that interests me. There's so much stuff out there that the satellite was keeping me from! Currently watching the 4 seasons of the original Twilight Zone on Netflix (seasons 1,2 3 & 5). I've always been a big fan and almost always would tune in when a Twilight Zone marathon was running. But I've seen several recently that I either don't remember or never saw in the first place. "Time Enough At Last" is a definite classic. Good call NC TRACKRAT!

Another fan of Twilight Zone's "Time Enough At Last".
It's the one that came to mind when I saw this thread.

My favorite is 'King Nine Will Not Return' It's loosely based on the story of Lady Be Good that disappeared in 1943 and was found all but intact in the Libyan desert in 1958. The story is fascinating and tragic. I own several books and a relic that was recovered from the site.
Here is a brief. If you find it interesting and want to learn more there are several videos on Youtube and at least three books on the subject.
The crew was never honored, So I had a B-3 Bomber jacket painted to honor the crew.

Excellent episode of Twilight Zone. Always one of my favorites since I was a kid.

Very cool jacket!  Great way to honor those men.

Can you give us a hint of what kind of relic you have?
