Im looking for movies with nuclear fallout / war theme. Only movies that are available (that is - in the internetz), exclude Mad Max which i got on the DVD (all 3 parts). If someone would have a lead where i can find such movies send me a pm please. Currently im looking for Steel Dawn but no luck.
Much appreciated.

But no chance for at least english subtitles Sad I aint even mentioning finding the movie...

I found many on imdb but still i would like to read some opinions which should i look for. As for now i've got Testament. Scratches, Omega Man and some more are on the way.

Also maybe someone knows of movies with a biohazard motive - like 28 days/weeks later.

Vodka : thanks for the help!
Sensi : already seen Strangelove, really nice flick.

trinity & beyond (documentary on mankind's effort on perfecting the means of global suicide)

in addition to 'trinity & beyond', the rest of films directed by kuran are worth a look for the interested
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0475571/

the above are 'must see' stuff
personally i think kevin costner's waterworld and postman, while deeply flawed and silly, are underrated, and should be had a look by any postapoc nut

oh, forgot about all the anime

the wind of amnesia is still one of my favourite postapoc anime movies
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0108570/

'ergo proxy' series was postapocalyptic cyberpunk (world is a devastated wasteland and civilisations living in domed cities)

be sure to watch 'second reneissance' parts 1 and 2 of the animatrix shorts
brilliant
they should have made the sequel films about that instead of the piece-of-shit ones they did do

Saw "Threads" on the weekend and i must say it's really depressing and scary as hell. Still great movie/document.

If anybody has got or knows where i can find "Chosen Survivors" (1974) PLEASE let me know! It's generally speaking a movie about a nuclear strike, hiding in a shelter etc. A rather B class movie (~ 5.? score on IMDB).

Not necessarily they have to be bad. 28 days/weeks was cool, even tho it was a "zombie movie".

oh, don't get me wrong, i love zombie films, but they're not postapocalyptic in the sense that all these other ones are
more like a genre of it's own
but in zombie films the same problem exists.. 99,9% is utter poo
28 * later were good, romero's * of the dead trilogy and shaun
not much else

Hey i know that, the only zombie movies that say something about the death of human civilization would 28 d/wl and hmmm.. resident evil extinction? Laughing
Also the land of the dead was cool - the last "normal" city surrounded by a wall and the dead.

Anyway here's a list of pa films (post-apocalyptic):
http://www.post-apocalypse.co.uk/list.html

However the list contains pretty much CHEEZY (as hell!) films with stars like Joe Lara, David Carradine (Laughing) and such.

Also the site contains some reviews with photos and spoilers (not to worry - most of the films are not to be found Sad Sad )

For bonus here's a pic of Carradine in "Hard Knuckle" :

That was one hell of a documentary Jenni. That whole scenario was based on a 1 megaton single explosion as well - can't imagine living through that unless I were to sit on a lawn chair all day outside the door of my $50k bunker. Truly horrifying, especially the footage of the women with radiation sickness.

On a side note, did anyone else find it hilarious that the one couple who was living inside their little makeshift bunker was smoking in every other shot? A few cubic feet of space and they are lighting up fags like no tomorrow. They'd live through the blast but end up cooking themselves in their own fire Very Happy

Hahaha I was thinking that's gamma radiation you're smoking mate.

But you're right about that documentary, it really is horrific.
Based upon a single megaton weapon, but briefly mentions the 30 bombs that would undoubtly fall on London. I very much doubt he'd be smoking his cigarettes after that.

Wowow thanks Jenni!

Still i STRONGLY recommend "Threads" (!!!) and "The War Game" (a bit more candy, but still recommended). Para-documents (with a bit of a plot and few characters) that really HIT you.

"The Day After" is worth a look , its very watered down and no were as hardcore as Threads. Also "When the Wind Blows" is good. I found this interesting reading on the same theme.

I agree, "The Day After" is really candy just like "The War Game" mentioned earlier by me. Im aware of an animated (so i heard) movie "When the wind..." and just found a dvdrip torrent Very Happy

And the link is cool, thanks a lot Smile

nobody mentionned the madmax movies. inspired many classic games/movies

PS: i remember Carradine in a cheesy serie where he got tai-chi/aikido powers..sort of chuck norris on anti depressors. that was laughable.

Read a lot about the movie and saw when i was a kid - now i can't find it on the internetzes Sad Not even mentioning VHS/DVD stores. Nothing, nada, nicht!
That movie,
read about it here (major spoilers and hillarious screenshots) -> http://www.post-apocalypse.co.uk/barbarians.html,
is one of the classic cheesy PA (post-apocalyptic) movies. One of the shitty, italian Road Warrior rip-offs. Also the "vehicle" from my sig is from that movie.
Some screens for the lazy ones :
Awesome boos-haz-mat suit Very Happy


The....CAR! Very Happy


And that one is for real MEN! Very Happy You were warned!
