Hey there, my old man has come up with a genre of movies called "Movies that end with a Mushroom Cloud". He noticed that there are a lot of good movies that end with a mushroom cloud, and they all share the same dystopian future! some movies include

Dr. Strangelove
Mad Max
Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior)
20,000 Leagues under the Sea
Terminator 3

and more! anybody got more movies to add to the list?

    Twister.

    Day After Tomorrow wasn't that effective, i didn't feel a strong sense of dying or anything. all just a play on graphic effects

      "just a play on graphic effects" kind of sounds like twister as well ;) actually, i liked twister. ever see "the core"? don't. i had to see it for science class when it came out. it sucked. and i actually had to pay to sit through that.

        1983 French film called Le Dernier Combat (Final Combat or Last Battle) by Besson

        No dialogue, b&w. Think Road Warrior sans cars.

    Blood of Heroes: It's a post apocalyptic "Bad News Bears" playing a blood infested version of football with a small animals skull. Fun for the whole family.

        Blood of Heroes is a great movie. It is a little slow. but it is cool. Did anyone see "The Ultimate Warrior" made in 1975 with Yul Brynner, Max Van sydow and Will Smith?

        basic plot:
        Atomic holocaust is not the only plague that threatens our future. New York City, 2012 A.D.: In a devastated world, one tired man finds a reason to fight.Only a few people still live in New York in 2012. They are organised in gangs with their own turf. One of them is led by Baron, another one by Carrot, and they are constantly at war with each other.

        This was a great movie.

    I saw that The Day After was mentioned. To complete the trinity of nuclear holocaust movies you need Testament and Threads. Threads is really cheesy though. Testament is the most striking. It's not graphic, but really intense.
