THREADS (1984) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090163/) - This is the most real and most horrific film about nuclear holocast. It's shot like a docudrama with newscast always in the background of the story. The story follows a few people, but mostly a young woman who is pregnant during the nuclear exchange. It followers her story to the end when she dies about 10 years later in very bleak surroundings. It's a very disturbing film that you won't forget. It's even better than THE DAY AFTER (1983). This is a must see.

You can watch the whole film on Google. THREADS (1984) (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2023790698427111488&q=threads+1984&hl=en)

:thumbup: :thumbup: (8 out of 10 Stars) You won't forget this one.

I actually feel that Russia isn't out of this game at all even though through the 90's they looked somewhat defeated.

I think myself and someone else recommended this film in the discussion on Jericho.

It's a tough film to watch, but the brutality is needed.  I love The Day After but Threads stands heads and shoulders above it.  The film should be required viewing for middle school / high school students. 

Didn't realize it's out on DVD here now.  I'll have to pick it up.

:thumbup: Gotta go with you, guys.
THREADS is stomach churning real. TDA is filled with stars, and that little differance added to the ability to take THREADS seriously. Realy. The ( To Me) unknown cast made the tragity even more harsh.
