The images from the movie are haunting, and have stuck with me the past few days, but I feel like maybe I've dragged them out of my subconscious, where they no longer belong.

A bleak, dreadfully haunting yet somewhat humorous film. A tearjerker that should be shown to everyone who is going to be in charge of nuclear weapons.

Saw this at the cinema when it first came out. Very moving, and the soundtrack by Roger Waters was superb. I remember it because when the end credits rolled not a single person left the cinema. They all sat and listened to the final song; Folded Flags. Its weird 25 years later, to remember how real the threat of Nuclear War was back then.
