I have seen both movies but don't quite get the cold war connection with Quiet Earth. Is the idea of a Cold War era movie any movie that appeared in the Cold War years? IMHO it's got to address the Cold War itself. Neither of these do, to me; Year Zero is about a fear created in the era, but it could be made now; ditto Quiet Earth.

Not saying you're wrong, just making conversation. I wouldn't consider either a Cold War movie.

Not only does Quiet Earth have one of the coolest final shots in movies, it has a marvelous end title music cue. I'd say it's more metaphysical than Cold Warian. If that's a word.

Ok I see where you are coming from. :-)

"Panic" was an aftermath nuke war movie

and "Quiet Earth" was indeed very strange. :-)

However, "Countdown to Looking Glass" was fabulous. Check it out on IMDB and who was in it. (Hint, on of the actors was "the" Newt Gingrich himself :-))

(I have that one on DVD)

Another I really liked, however it was not really cold war was the movie "The Disappearance Of Flight 412".
