Today, we're going to take a look at some of the greatest movies ever made about one of the most important (and terrifying) topics in human history. These are films dealing with humanity's ever-impending danger from nuclear war, faulty nuclear reactors, and all-out nuclear destruction. While most of these are fictionalized cautionary tales and horr...
My first three movies all cover the same historical topic: The Manhattan Project. While this first movie isn't too great, it nevertheless complements the second, bettermovie fairly well. And the documentary wraps things up all in a neat bow. The first film is Fat Man and Little Boy—named after the nukes dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It stars P...
Which brings us to the much better, lesser-known TV movie from the same year (don't let "1993" in the video thumbnail fool you). Day One again follows the lives of General Groves (Brian Dennehy) and Robert Oppenheimer (David Strathairn) during the same time period. Whereas Fat Man and Little Boy is undone by Hollywood's watered-down, somewhat hammy...
If the above two Manhattan Project movies aren't dark and foreboding enough for you, sink your teeth into the 1980 J. Robert Oppenheimer documentary, The Day After Trinity. This movie follows the life of the theoretical physicist from his early childhood up until his security clearance (and direct political influence) was revoked in the mid-1950s, ...

However, instead of teaching us wholesome l...
You know those first scenes in every zombie movie you've ever seen? The ones right before anyone is completely sure of what's going on, and when society first begins to devolve into a riotous, murderous, cesspool of chaos? Well, Miracle Mileis basically 88 minutes of that. Only instead of zombies being the catalyst, it's news of a nuclear war. Char...
Truth be told, I almost skipped this one based purely on its cutesy-looking cover—two couples comically standing side-by-side holding umbrellas, with a fiery mushroom cloud in the background. I gave it a shot, though, and I was happy I did. It isn't half bad. One Night Standis a 1984 Australian movie about two flirty girls, a Stifler-esque blockhea...
