    Default Nuclear War Movies?

    I'm searching for nuclear weaponary(generally WMD) related movies all genres(documentary, civil defense, comedys, thrillers) from whole world.

    Titles, links to descriptions, sig2dat links(kazaa) all info you can get.

    I've seen those(have them on CD's so if you live near Wrocław, I can burn them on CD. Most of them are impossible to get in Poland so stop talking about copyrights)

    I have a few titles to add to your list:

    BY DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT and Miracle Mile- Twp HBO movies made in the late 80s I think.

    "Terminator 2 : The Judgement Day"

    Special F/X guru Stan Winston and his crew studied hours of nuclear test footage in order to make Sarah Connor's "nuclear nightmare" scene as real as possible. In late 1991, members of several U.S. federal nuclear testing labs unofficially declared it "the most accurate depiction of a nuclear blast ever created for a fictional motion picture".

    Fail Safe.

    If you are interested in films that don't necessarily involve a nuclear exchange but are set during the cold war I would strongly recommend

    I guess 'Broken Arrow' counts...he didn't say 'good' nuclear war movies

    Fail Safe is one of my favorites.

    Forget the name, but the one w/ Powers Booth and Rebecca DeMornay as a B-52 crew and James Earl Jones as their commander.

    edited to stay: 'By Dawn's Early Light' is the name of it.

    Thanks for info, but do you know less known movies (Terminator and Sum of all Fears are mandatory even they are mainly not about WMD).

    The Mouse that Roared. A hilarious movie from 1959 with Peter Sellers. I laughed myself silly when the USA was forced to surrender to this tiny mini-state in Europe. Specially the part were their Army of Invasion got from Grand Fenwick (a mini mini state in the middle of Europe.) to the USA and actually think that they have won the war is just to funny.

    "On the beach" was/is great movie I've seen it few years ago but didn't remember title
    "By Dawn's Early Light" sounds promising
    "Fail Safe" I'm not sure if I didn't seen this before
    "Broken Arrow" (just my opinion, let's say I don't like Travolta)
    The Mouse that Roared

    Hey guys there must be more, plz
