Maybe the most depressing film ever? Nightmare material.

the absolute best post apocalyptic film in terms of the raw hopelessness and destruction experienced from a human point of view. It's written well enough that you truly care for the characters and the believable sequence of events that lead to the nuclear holocaust. The last scene has resonated with me most of all, truly harrowing!

Hard to actually "like", but also extremely hard to forget. Very bleak, intense stuff! (Not to mention depressing.)
