The War Game (Peter Watkins, 1965)

The cold war is over, but that does not make this movie any less riveting. We can watch movies like Atomic Cafe and laugh at the old "run, duck and cover" newsreels. Peter Watkins while showing the ridiculousness in the notion that ducking under a table in a nuclear war would offer much protection; it also shows the dire consequences of how quickly society would fall into anarchy in such a situation. Maybe in the context of so many of our war strewn landscapes today this rings more true.
