How to survive these? Be the CAMERAMAN!!!
i'm pretty sure they all got cancer
For real tho
Fruitymasterz I’m pretty sure you missed the memo
Not just that you could also fly in a helicopter if far enough away from the nuke or hide in a nuclear fallout shelter.

I had a chemistry/physics teacher in high school who was once an officer in the Air Force. Ask him one question about that time of his life and we would escape any lesson he had planned for the day because he loved to share his experiences in the military. One story that stuck with me, and he told this one a couple of years after The Day After was released...he was allowed to witness a nuclear bomb detonation test once. After being trained to wear the goggles, plus a face covering, inside a concrete bunker with just a small window to look out of, they were instructed to face the opposite direction of the blast. He took it one step further and placed his hand over the multiple layers of eye protection he already had on. He said the flash from the detonation was so bright...for a very brief second he could see the bones inside his hand!!
I had a former coworker tell me that he was in a fox hole / trench assigned to watch a nuclear bomb detonation from a "safe" distance. He said even with all the protective gear and his eyes shut he could see the skeleton of the man standing next to him. Sadly he eventually passed away from cancer but it's impossible to know if it was related to his exposure to radioactivity in the military.
@@lockman004 yeah ive read multiple accounts from japan survivors and soldiers from nuclear tests who all recount the same thing. Seeing all their bones and those of the ones sitting near
The other accounts of the walking dead..People walking blind and dazed as their flesh was falling off their body and their melted eyeballs dripping down their face..we are closer to nuclear war now than ever before.

yeah, but the Godzilla one used actual footage of a nuclear test in the pacific.
Lenny really??
Yeah a real nuclear explosion is just a honorable mention LOL
7Criska go check the new nuclear bomb in Godzilla the king of the monster
@@gxt_fe4221 The first part of it is actually real. And its a fact.
Some of it was stock footage, obviously the part where the shockwave overtakes you is CG.
A nuclear engineer wrote a letter to James Cameron soon after the release of T2, saying it was the absolute most accurate nuclear explosion in cinematic history. The government itself even said that’s what it would look like: a blinding light, a flesh charring fire, THEN the actual blast would hit and turn you to ash. The ONLY inaccuracy was Sarah’s skeleton still intact for dramatic effect; her bones would be as good as gone too
To be fair, it's also a dream.

The best nuclear bomb scene was the one I left in the bathroom this morning
+Darien Mead XD

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not a movie but, I think we can all agree that the nuclear bomb scene from Call Of Duty 4 modern warfare was EPIC....
And some parts sad!
Tixial u mean modern warfare remastered
@Toxic GameZ no he means the actual game. Do you know what remastered means?
Ah fallout 4 was is better
Agree
Threads is both amazing and horrifying. Compelling and upsetting in equal measure. What's also so good about it is that it looks much further in to the future, 15 years I seem to remember, after a nuclear war. The whole thing is pretty tough going but the very last scene is the stuff of nightmares. I saw it when it was screened on the BBC. I must have been about 17. I have never forgotten it.
Threads is the best film about nukes by miles. Its so good! If anybody disagrees it's because they are either lying about having seen it or they are retarded.
@@amazingusername8925 Two others I would add to this -- "Failsafe" and both versions of "On the Beach" -- I screened Threads for my son (at the age of 15) (now 21)and my wife. He still has it stuck in his mind...and I introduced my wife to the latter two just before he was born .. cause a panic attack .. so much better than "The Day After"
I will add two more to best list that I totally agree with. They're smaller, but well worth a watch for those that lived back in those days. Testament and Special Bulletin.
@@amazingusername8925 I watched some of it. Based on what Barry Hines said, it's supposed to about how everyday people cope with the situation both pre, during and the aftermath, also in that there are no winners
@@angrywhitemale7163 Sp
Special Bulletin is definitely memorable.
The special effects for the day after may have been superior but Threads was by far the more atmospheric and accurate depiction of nuclear war.
threads is a genuinely horrifying movie
@@unclebruncle I couldn’t sleep for days after I saw it
Terminator 2's nuclear bomb scene induced nightmares for me when I was a teenager.
Me too, still gets to me to this day
Me too
I like that its a legit air explosion, where the radiation hits everyone first and they start burning before the blast wave hits and destroys everything.
It was really sad.
I was like 21 or 22 and took my little brother, probably 10 or 11. I remember my heart pounding and being out of breath. I don't know what he thought of it.
The wolverine one made me go "this isn't how this works.. This isn't how any of this works"
What
+MizuiroNo That scene nearly made me walk out on the film. It didn't get much better, though, so I should have.
+MizuiroNo I have to lol at that as well.
+MizuiroNo Right.....even if Wolverine could survive the radiation at near-ground-zero, that Japanese guy couldn't. And holding that metal plate on him would just give him a nice sear as that huge fireball cooked them both before the radiation could even kill them. It's not like heat conducts through metal or anything.
That's not even touching on the fact that the nuke looks fake as shit, and is ridiculously small for even the first nukes made. They, and everything else around should have been instantly vaporized, with no chance to "run" from anything.
Movie makers just really seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around how HUGE and instant a nuclear detonation is. It's not just a big regular explosion.
compmanio36 "do a big boom the audience loves this shit"
By far my favorite is Judgement Day.
The special effects scene with Sara Connors at the playground fence is so real even today, 30 years later!
Definetly the most realistic blast. Agree.
"Testament". Saddest movie ever made in this genre. Key part is you never see the bomb, just a quick flash thru the window.
Tight special effects budget?
@@Pdor_figlio_di_Kmer Or maybe they were just in town, so they weren't near Ground Zero.
'Testicle Mints" ..another leftsit P.O.S. scare movie. Funny I don't remember seeing Jane Alexander in many of movies after THAT leftist abortion.
My favorite quote comes from the man that helped invent these weapons. Albert Einstein "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." It scares the living daylights out of me to this day.
i love this quote to
me too. I love it and am scared of it because it's true.
with in my life time or my childerns it will come i just hope there is something left
Only thing is that Einstein had nothing to do with the construction of them boom booms...
Albert Einstein had nothing to do with the development of the atomic bomb. All he did was sign his name to a letter asking that President Roosevelt meet with some other scientists.

I had a dream that my city got nuked
Try being a British teenager when Threads was first shown in 1984 and you live 15 miles from Sheffield!
Yes, I was about 12 at the time. I watched a bit and then turned it off. I was already terrified about the prospect and that was too much.
I lived in Massachusetts USA at the time I saw that movie and was terrified there was a town called Sheffield there!
I remember there was a thing called Nukemares where people were having bad dreams after watching it
For me, the Day after was the most shocking moment in my life. I was 12 when this movie was shown. We all were very affraid of a nuclear war at this time. ANd this movie shows this so so realistic and shocking. This movie burned in my mind and i will never forget. Three years later the movie When The Wind Blows was shown. It had the same effect like The Day After. But in this movie it was shocking to see these lovely older couple dying after the explosion.
You forgot about Spongebob atomic pie bomb
SpongeBob was not a movie (well, it was, but I don't remember any bomb scenes.)
@@Danny-os1sf you know, when Squidward bought a pie from pirate and then give it to Spongebob as a gift, while Spongebob give him a sweater

Watchmojo: What's your favorite nuclear bomb scene?
LMAO
LOL
Hehe
Hahahahaha wtf
You Serious?
Director James Cameron and his team once got a mail by actual nuclear scientists who commented that the Terminator 2 - Judgement Day nuclear explosion was one if not the most realistic one they saw on the big silver screen.
James Cameron and his SFX-team were proud and freightened at the same time when receiving this mail.
And not just due to the stunning visuals of this nuclear explosion but also by the virtue of being approved by actual scientists this nuclear explosion is my number one in this list.
“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!” Great Adam West Batman reference! 👍👍👍

Are you telling me that batman didnt have any auto pilot when he has vehicles locate him...
Exactly and that's why I think he isn't dead
+danny arellano I want to say the auto-pilot was damaged and so that was why he had to fly it out, but honestly it's been a while since I watched the movie.
+Lemar Maynard You think? Have you seen the movie all the way to the end? :P
+Capt. Teemo I guess no one paid attention to the last few minutes of the movie.
+Capt. Teemo yep I have seen all the way to the end
The wolverine might be the most unrealistic nuclear explosion ever.
I would take less than a second to reach them if this is a real life bomb like they drop in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
i would say the indiana jones one is the most realistic, if you ignore him surviving in that fridge. Because first things catch fire through the emitted thermal radiation and then the shockwave follows. i think it's in only scence that was accurate on that.
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb."
Underrated reference.
Batman.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day should have been number 1. That one scared the absolute HECK out of me as a kid.
Yeah that was basically a Tsunami of explosives
Your age alone, is what dictates your choice. I was a kid when Dr. Strangelove came out, so my terror, was equal to yours, two decades earlier. This list was a compilation of the top ten, and not just your limited time on the planet. I am willing to bet, that you have not seen it, because it is black and white, and therefore, not of interest to your generation.....
Dont worry guys in judgement there will be NO nukes..(terryfied noices) what if This happened before judgement day?
It IS the most realistic depiction of a nuclear explosion I've seen in movies, and, even then, I feel like it was toned down, even with the playground with the children and adults, reduced to ashes! At least their pain was only 15 to 20 seconds.
@@petergant8767 15 to 20 seconds is still too much.
I dont want to set the world on fire...
I love fire. no homo.
I just wanna start a flame in your heart
And in my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you, no other will do
You just want to watch it burn?
The nuclear explosion in Terminator 2 is my all time favourite
Very realistic
The movie never bothered me as a child, now as a mom, fuck all that😂. I’m not watching it again. I can’t get that scene out of my head. Crazy thing, Cameron had letters written from nuke creators to him and crew for the accuracy!
“Testament” is an honorable mention. Threads and The Day After are the top 2. Each was relative to its audience, and is embedded in the memories of each who experienced it.
I firmly believe that Threads and The Day After should be replayed in 2022. People need to be reminded of the horror of nuclear exchanges.
Threads is legit scary
"Threads" was a stunning and terrifying piece of work. Trust the Brits not to sugar-coat things.
You mention seeing some of the aftermath in "The Day After." You got the same thing in "Threads" -- 10 years later.
I'm a brit
It still haunts me ever so often. What an amazing series.
That’s right we don’t
Threads is too scary and depressing to watch more than once. It's the only nuclear war film that goes all in on the aftermath. If a nuclear war starts its better to get vaporised than be a survivor.
you forgot spongebob squarepants
linus726 wat!!?!?!!
linus726 I remember that episode lol
linus726 fu
Lol Plankton splitting the atoms, causing a nuclear explosion! Still my favorite scene from SpongerBob EVER!
which one exactly? there's way too much😂😂
"You cannot win a nuclear war" a quote from Threads,
which then proceeds to show why that statement is true. That movie fucked up a lot of people, me included
All my Nuclear nightmares as a Kid in the 60's all coming back to be the new front page news.......
Personally, "The Day After" should have been No. 1 when the bombs went off, they had a sort of groaning sound to them as though the thousands of people who died groaned their last.
Totally agree. Also the special effects of the time gave the mushroom clouds a more terrifying, raw appearance. CGI today would make them to sharp and clean looking (if that makes sense?)
I have this made for TV movie. I was in my middle twenties when it first aired. Even as an adult male scared the hell out of me. Oh The Day After was watched by 100.000.000 people that night.
@Chewy Cook
You obviously haven't watched "Threads" (1984). Threads does a much better job depicting what life would be like after an all-out nuclear exchange.
You obviously haven't seen the BBC's superior THREADS!
Chewy cook, if you think the day after was terrifying, watch threads.

"Broken Arrow"--without a doubt! One of the coolest explosion scenes from any movie!
Whew, glad I got into this lead lined fridge. Now to just exit into this totally safe and non-irradiated environment.
with a built in full-body-brace!
Tregeta He had to go through decontamination. Did you not hear the Geiger Counter in the movie?
A lot of the dangerous fallout takes time to settle. If he were somehow uninjured by the sheer kinetic energy of the blast, he would have been protected from the instantaneous release of gamma rays by the lead, and could possibly escape much of the fallout if he acted quickly.
Everything has become irradiated regardless of the fallout.
Dan Kelly if you're protected from, or far away not to be injured by the blast, you're safe from the prompt gamma emission. For anything above 3kt, the 5psi blast radius (enough to crush civilian building, and definetly kill anyone in the open) the distance at which you'll be killed from prompt neutron and gammas is less. So will all currently stockpiled weapons, prompt gammas and neutrons aren't a problem, unless you're in a tank or something.. In a tank, you'll survive over 10 psi, but the neutron flux will get you.
Remember guys, if the mushroom cloud is smaller than the size of your thumb, you're safe!
But my thumb is only a few centimetres mushroom clouds are always loads bigger

Cayden yeah, thats gotta be the most helpful tip for surviving a nuclear attack

William Goo About time someone got the damn reference. A lot of people don't know that the pip boy for Fallout with one eye shut and his thumb up with a big smile on his face is actually him measuring the nuclear mushroom cloud.

@@craigleverone414 "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

My favorite is the Day After. Since I refuse to live in the aftermath of nuclear war, the scenes of those people being vaporized is how I want to go. You won't feel it.
The explosion: the day after
The aftermath: threads
You'd probably feel it, but, it'd be over in a second, if you were close to Ground Zero!
War. War never changes...
first fallout comment i saw

0:42 I get blinded just by looking at phone after a sleep in pitch black and this man this man didn't even flinch when he saw an portable sun😂
Threads was one of the most darkest bleakest films I’ve ever seen. Incredibly depressing and realistic.
This.
The full on effects and long term issues are far worse than illustrated. They have a budget to deal with for movies.
Nuclear winter, the oceans are devoid of all life. Two weeks after the first strikes, the other side decides to toss a few more bombs to please the crowds of "survivors".
@@pabloleonardo it was pretty good but Threads was way more disturbing and terrifying
@@pabloleonardo I remember watching it as it was aired for the first time. I was disturbed for days and got more interested in nuclear power and it's peaceful uses. My Physics teach was a former nuke sub reactor engineer and really hammered the point home on how devastating those missiles were in the boomer subs.
Threads is the most disturbing film I've ever seen.
The Day After was one of the most impactful and horrifying movies of all time. Aside from being the highest rated TV movie, it also aired all over the world, even the USSR, and is in large part responsible for the halt to the arms race that threatened the entire planet. Very hard to find on DVD or Bluray these days, but it's an absolute must for collectors.
i saw that movie almost 30 years ago, it sure wins #1 as a movie to display the impact of nuclear war. but the list title doesn't sound to be discussing that. if it's just about nuclear bombs then it must have mushrooms (excluding all space detonations) . my #1 choice would be "sum of all fears" ....it shows the shock wave in amazing way, and the mushroom displayed wafter the glow, not exactly what we think of or the ideal mushroom shape (which is a bold move by the director) but yeah, the bomb was collected from 30 years old ordinance and assembled in garage-like environment
Absolutely. I watched it when it was first aired on TV, and the chills still get me when I see it today. The scene where the woman in a rural Nebraska home is tidying the house in preparation for wedding guests' arrival when a bright glow comes through the window, and the audience can see that a missile is launching from its underground silo... she sees it and furiously increases her effort to make the bed. Her husband comes in and tells her they have to get to the shelter, but she pushes him away without saying a word... He attempts to grab her but she starts pounding on his chest, and he again tells her they have to go, now.
She sobs and screams at the same time.
I may have gotten some of this wrong as it is coming straight from my memory... but just the thought of it. It's a nice day; the weather is fine, everyone is healthy, just a normal, pleasant day... and every one of them knows it's all over. Done. They are all dead, essentially, and that's if they're the lucky ones that got to die quickly. All the hope that the powers that be would turn this around and not push the button are things of the past; mutually assured destruction is now a fact. Once those missiles they saw went up, it was over.
Everything they grew up with, the country and culture they were a part of, all of the things that occupy our day-to-day lives like work, watching TV, and having weddings... it's all gone, even while everything still looks exactly the same as it ever was (now that the ICBM has faded from view).
That, for me, was the most horrifying part of the movie-- watching the American missiles go up, knowing that all hope is lost and everyone's fate is sealed. More so than watching the detonation of the Soviet weapons (though that was a close second).
I've never really been one to be scared by movies. The usual ones that everyone mentions as being the most scary (Exorcist, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, Children of the Corn, etc.) never did it for me... entertaining, at times, but not enough to really cause much of an emotional reaction. I was always too aware that it was a movie to feel anything myself.
The Day After was different. It was fiction, of course, but it could have been real, in a way that none of the other movies could. Even though the Cold War is over now, thus putting TDA more into the group of can't happen movies (though nuclear war can still happen; it just won't be as portrayed), I still remember when the Cold War was real, so it will always be real to me.
I wonder if a younger person who only knows about the Cold War from class in school would react the same way to this movie as those of us who lived it.
This was a reply to Karl, btw. It looks like I was responding to crowxe...
The Day After is good - but Threads is better, as it goes much further into the post War Nuclear winter and the generations afterwards
Michael Bater , my mind set is still into best detonation moments. sum of all fears shocked me when the hero couldn't save the day as it usually should happen and high pressure and vacuum waves hit the chopper and the rest of scenes related to the blast
2 aliens are talking in outer space, looking down on Earth.
"It seems the inhabitants of planet Earth have created nuclear technology and missiles" says one alien
"are they showing signs of intelligence?" asks the other
"I dont think so. They seem to be aiming at themselves"
"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb." Unfortunately, I'm old enough to get that joke. Great job!

@@integral makes sense, but it is still stupid to make that the reason to not add it
That was horrible to watch my God
why .. why wasn't Terminator 3 ending not in this list ..
T3 nuclear attack was horrifying. They probably didn't want to do two movies from the same series.
Because Terminator 3 was a festering pile of shit spewing anal vomit that I wouldn't even show to my worst enemies. That "movie" and every subsequent shitty sequel can all burn in a nuclear holocaust.
Jack M I disagree. Terminator 2's ending was perfect. It left things ambiguous and hopeful that the protagonists efforts had averted Judgement Day. The open ended nature of it allowed viewers to use their imagination and interpret their own fate of the human race.
Then Terminator 3 came along and dick slapped us with a shitty and frankly insulting ending where humanity was boned anyway which only left it open to two more horrifyingly bad sequels.
Terminator 3 can suck my taint! As far as I'm concerned, every movie after 2 aren't canon and are just shitty cash grabs made by directors with the mental intelligence of bad fanfic writers.
Mark Haynes
I think the quality of the movie or reviews is irrelevant to the point. It's top 10 nuclear bomb scenes ... not Top 10 Movies that happen to have nuclear bomb scenes.

You should try watching the BBC drama/ documentary threads made around the same time as The Day After. It will give you the grim statistics as well as a brilliant drama about the build up the actual detonation and the aftermath of life in Britain 10 years after the world war 3

Thank you for mentioning Dr. Stranglove. Thought the end of Stranglove was wonderful.
"Threads" is most grimly realistic in it's ending prediction of the live's and deaths of the survivors, right down to the birthing clinic. A very frank Anglo film.
@Geoff Shaw OMG I forgot that one. Threads is really maybe the best such TV prediction ever. By comparison, "The Day After" is a picnic American fantasy with an up beat off to the woods ending.
I saw Threads once on You Tube before it became unavailable. Also commendable about Threads is it made the government out to be the (even more) brutal thing it actually would become.

Eww It's Him it’s nuketown
I Couldn't Think Of A Username so I made this one im sure Nuke Town was inspired by this
Threads and the Day After are my all time favorites. It gives me a real (almost) perspective of the horror that awaits us if God forbid anything like this happens.
You forgot the bomb from Angels and Demons. That scene was epic!
The ones from Godzilla are actually real denotations.
*detonations
+Tim G Except for the final shot of the shockwave rolling over the camera perspective. But you knew that I'm sure.
+Tim G Strangelove`s and Threads` too.
+Tim G but isnt that illegal?
Average Alien
What's illegal?
Shame North Korea can only imagine this.
North Koreans cant watch youtube, also I'm English.. -_-
matty carter My toilet paper is english LOLOOL
Congratulations, that's probably a lie since you have minimum trade with everyone except China.
+00maniacmanny00 If DPRK tried anything on the US, the US would turn it into glass.
How could I have been so blind?
The cameraman is a legend for getting these scenes for us.
Bombs in 2022: Before I hit this city, I would like to thank our sponsor Raid: Shadow Legends for sponsoring this bomb strike.
Threads, which I saw at 13, was the most terrifying movie I've ever watched. Still. They REALLY amped up the human drama and breakdown of civilization. To see it in the 80s when it was "relevant" was a singular experience. The Day After was great also, but a picnic next to Threads. D.A., NYC
Iron Giant?
meh
Hodor Hodor?
Hodor Hodor?
Fabled Majestic Demo Mordor?
that was a good one
Man the special fx from T2 hasn't age at all, one of the terrified graphic scene in Hollywood history... Hats off to Cameron
I was in the beginning half of my undergrad in college when this came out, can't believe it's been that long since undergrad college.
Pretty sure Indy was in Nevada not Nebraska
Ahhh top left corner
+RobnJake yeah i thought that to!
+RobnJake yeah nevada the guy reading the scrip is an idiot
+bloodangel0412 Whoever WROTE the manuscript, was an idiot
+RobnJake there is a refernce to the scene in Fallout New Vegas which is set in where ? Nevada.
All we know is that if this happens, the survivors will envy the deads...
What do you prefer : a slow painful death or a quick very painful death ?
@@renauddefrance.at.eurostep1409 quick pls, I don't wanna struggle just to die another day
@@renauddefrance.at.eurostep1409 if you melt in parts of seconds your nerves arent fast enough to tell your brain that it hurts
@@xj9779 gotta be better than your skin falling off your bones while your still alive
So your honestly telling me that you would shoot yourself in the face rather than live without the internet? Because I wouldn't even feel at tremor much less actually be at risk of dying of acute radiation poisoning and you can bet that I won't be ending my own life just because a whole bunch of other people died.
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT THIS IS A PERFECT VIDEO FOR THE MOVIE THAT JUST CAME OUT. PERFECT TIMING. HAVE YOU HEARD OF BARBIE??? good list!
The underwater detonation at the end of "American Assassin" should be on the list. A couple of others; the drone attack against the space ship in "Skyline" was the only good scene of that movie. The nuke at the beginning of "Peacemaker" starring
George Clooney and Nicole Kidman was pretty cool.
@1:40 Nevada Test Site, not Nebraska...
Kenny I actually didn’t know that
War. War never changes
Nuketown
If the nuke test site were in Nebraska, you kind of wonder if anyone would’ve noticed.
@@redrust3 actually yeah they would notice because Strategic Air Command was in Omaha Nebraska.
The Iron Giant! “You stay, I go. No following.” *begin weeping*
Iron giant : Superman
Why
@@Charlie-od3vp Iron giant will try to stop a nuclear missile attack by sacrificing his life
@@sivaneshbalan898 but he's not dead
@@TerraGreatestLoveMachine yes bro...but that scene will be shown like that
It may not of had the best visual effects, but I think we all know *Threads* wins here.
I watched Threads a few months back, and it’s still absolutely terrifying. That movie is incredible.
Instead of saying, "jumping the shark," my friend now refers to it as, "nuking the fridge." Thanks part 4.
So, I am just wondering. Why is it that people can believe that Indy can go on two rails in a mine cart, jump from one track to another in said mine cart, stop said mine cart with his feet (without the friction rubbing them into stumps), Fall out of an airplane 1000+ feet in the air in a rubber raft, float gently back to earth (without dying in said raft), then sled down a mountain (without freezing to death), and finally fall off of a 1000+ foot cliff and (again) gently land on a river RIGHT SIDE UP, yet they draw the line at surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead-lined refrigerator? Why is that? Won't anyone tell me?
@@russwaddel08 I don't believe that any of those stunts are believable in real life. It's a fictional movie so I apply a suspension of disbelief when I view those films. However, Temple of Doom is an awesome film while The Crystal Skull is terrible movie.
P.S. The Last Crusade is the best of the bunch. Cheers!
'Threads' scared the living tar out of me as a child. Terrifying film.
SirJambon lol yo its mr jambon, didnt realize till i already clicked reply, love your vids. im 33, never seen it, but idk it looks terrifying, in the way old movies have this creepy factor all the cgi just cant capture, gonna bookmark it for later, looks good.
+James Williams 777
I'm 30 and I saw it last year and it scared me THEN. So realistic and gritty. I don't get scared of films but man it makes you think!

+SirJambon Threads - a british movie - in my opinion is by far the most terrifying war movie I've ever seen in my life. The second part after the bombing is really unbearable.(sorry for my bad English !). In 1964 BBC had published a first one "The War Game" (found on RUclips) in the same style.
+SirJambon I agree completely. Threads scared the crap out of me too. Especially the very last scene where the girl gives birth and looks at her baby and just screams.
I’m looking for a specific clip and I came here for it. I saw it in a movie one time and it gave me chills, I hope I find it
Did you get it?
Just saw threads for the first time like 3 days ago. Never going to forget that movie.
Pacific Rim underwater nuke was pretty cool
It's my favorite nuclear explosion
Vitor Leite lol
QuickUnit
Yeah, I love that movie!
Glad they make a sequel, and both my favorite eccentric scientists are coming back...I hope it's at least as good as the first one...
I remember Threads growing up. It was truly terrifying.
I loved the movie, “ The Day After”. Awesome!

October 23, 2077, the day that mankind plunged itself into nuclear war, Who dropped the first bomb? No one will ever know, This is just another bloody chapter in human history, because War... War Never changes.
+ItsFoxer CHINA c:
+ItsFoxer re posting your comment at the top :)
+ItsFoxer
Thats not how it goes but close enough
''Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing
power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of
everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.
In the year 2077,
after millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of man could
sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear
fire and radiation.
But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world.
Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody
chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world -
but war, war never changes.
In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the
holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters, known as vaults. But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them - all except those in Vault 101.For on that fateful day when fire rained from the sky, the giant steel door of Vault 101 slid closed... and never reopened. It was here you were born. It is here you will die.
Because, in Vault 101: no one ever enters, and no one ever leaves''
+Massacre Temple Fuck Fallout 4, Fallout 3 RULES! :D
Who was happy when it was just a dream!
Boris production OMG I HAD LIKE 2 NUKE DREAMS SO FAR... THEY WERE SO FREAKIN SCARY
I dreamed once that north-korea nuked japan, and you could see the mushroom cloud in germany.
Me
Most common nightmare in my dreams.
Boris Production I had a dream where North Korea nuked downtown San Diego. (I live in la Mesa)
Animatrix: The Second Renaissance, Part 2... those scenes are scary!
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!". The line that was made iconic, in the 1960s Batman movie, by Adam West, one of MY favorite Batman actors! Anyone else remember that!?
