Unbroken, and why I am sick of war movies.

[JuliaL]

from the tope of my head I would say All Quiet on the Western Front is pretty good as well as The Day After. One from 1930 or 31, the other one from the Reagan aera of all times.

There is one scene which I remember. I think it was from The Day After which I saw way back when. I found it exceedingly subtle and chilling. There was a simple shot of a North Dakota countryside full of wheat under a bright blue sky. The sights that made it so terrifying were half a dozen smoke trails from Minuteman IIIs or whatever had launched. No launch was shown and the scene was idyllic other than when you knew that the missiles were gone and there were very likely others in transit on the opposing trajectory.

It may have been this-

Which I picked off of youtube as being from The Day After though it is not quite as I remembered it.
