Classic Cold War Flicks

There is a nasty feature length UK animated movie called When the Wind Blows that's about a retired couple caught in a nuclear attack. Their only guide for what to do is a government civil defence pamphlet and they understand neither what has happened or why the instructions they have followed so conscientiously don't seem to be working.

A depressing but very moving story, SWMBO cried real tears at the end. It used to be on Youtube but has been removed for violation of copyrights.

Yup, by the same guy who did The Snowman - Raymond Briggs. Watched it once many years ago, was good.
