I found the movie “On The Beach (1959)” very depressing, to the point it gave me nightmares.

One of the alleged purposes of all the “everyone dies” nuclear war movies was to get the US to abandon civil defense measures, something that was very successful in retrospect...

I thought “On the Beach” was surprisingly hopeful in the face of certain death.
