I've found Threads and The Day After on Youtube so I know what I'm going to watch tomorrow. Supposedly Threads is very intense and depressing... Bring it on. EDIT: Oooohhh!! Der Untergang! (Downfall) I've been really wanting to see it! *adds to "Watch Later" playlist* EDIT2: But now that I watch the beginning I see that it's in Russian with English Subtitles....

Threads is good in a '80s eee-by-gum Yorkshire way. Downfall is probably the best film I've seen this year.

Downfall, I've no desire to watch a German movie in Russian Audio with English Subtitles. I'll wait for DVD.

Now, one movie I would like to see and never did, I think not, it's The Marathon Man! Funny because I saw so films form the same time period and of the same kind and never that one. |

If you mean Marathon Man (starring Dustin Hoffman), I saw it many years ago. I cannot even remember the storyline anymore, but I do remember that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time that I watched it. I remember it as being a very good movie and action intense.

Yes, that's the film. I thought that the title had the "The" in it! I just know a few shots, the actors and the nice picture of Dr. Christian Szell!

I know that's got to be a movie quote but it still isn't evoking my memory. I do remember something about diamonds and Dustin Hoffman getting pulled inadvertently into some kind of international conspiracy. Somehow, I remember him doing alot of running in the movie, apart from the movie title.

I just finished watching The Day After.
That was great! Can't wait to see Threads. I know this probably sounds sick that I'm calling these movies great....but...it's true. The Day After was one of the best TV Movies I've seen.

Here's a movie I have on DVD that had quite a cult following back in the day.
Heathers: a dark, romantic, comedy/drama.

Ronald Regan watched an advanced viewing of TDA and it had a profound effect on him it furthered his resolve to support SDI and to try to eliminate all nukes.Reagan and Gorbachev came close to pulling it off but they could not work out a deal.All of the extras in the city and town scenes are real Missourians. TDA did a pretty good job portraying an attack and all of the SAC and Navy guys at the start those where not actors that was real footage filmed for a documentary and later used in TDA. Here is the original documentary the military men where "acting" it is called "First Strike" watch it and then recall the scenes in TDA then you'll see which parts are real (training footage). . "Threads" is a bit more dramatic and better written and has less special effects but they are still well done.I like both for different reasons."Threads" also shows more the longer term effects of the attack while TDA focuses more short term. There is an animated film called "When the Wind Blows" about nuclear war that you might want to watch. Last edited by Stealhead; 06-19-13 at 08:12 PM. |
