RE: Movies............

This is more for Region 2 (Europe) than the US, because it's very difficult to find this Stateside, but When the Wind Blows is a tremendous film, with an ending that (while completely expected), has a hell of a lot of punch.

Imagine the guy who did the children's story The Snowman making a gritty, intimate portrait of two people in the middle of a nuclear holocaust, and...well, that's exactly what this is.

The basic plot centers around two British pensioners in Sussex during the run-up to a nuclear war with the USSR who follow the British government's then-current (early 1980s) and laughably pathetic advice.

I would think that many Penumbra/Amnesia fans would enjoy the apocalyptic film genre, and this one is probably the best of the bunch(*). The feeling of claustrophobia and helplessness is not unlike what you feel in Penumbra.
