My Favorite Nuclear Nightmare Movies

THIRTEEN DAYS tells the story of the Cuban Missle Crisis and reveals exactly how close we did come to nuclear war. MY nightmares come from the thought of having another president like Dubyuh Bush in office when such a situation arises again!

A movie that asks the question; is it really happening or is it just a sick practical joke?

Nuclear testing awakens a very large, very lonely dinosaur, and  in Ray Bradbury's story "The Foghorn", he mistakes the horn's sound for the call of his own species. That could get messy. They do actually have a shot on the dino standing with his front legs against a lighthouse in the film.

Did you ever go start out on a camping trip with your family one morning only to have a nuclear incident blow up certain unspecified areas, like your house in Los Angeles for instance? That's what happens to Ray Milland. But he's a real take charge guy who thinks of everything so we know they'll make it through okay. Except for the water. He never thought about the fallout getting into the water.  Oops.
