BTW, I was thinking about this movie and then thought about some other end of the world films and realized that Charlton Heston has been in two apocalyptic movies, The Omega Man and Planet of the Apes.

On New Year's 2000, a bunch of friends and I stayed up all night watching apocalyptic movies. Both of those were in the stack.

I was sublty trying to draw attention to my sig line, one of my favorite quotes fronm Dr. Strangelove (unheimlichlieber). It is the end of the rambling psychotic suicide note left by Major Jack D. Ripper.

"I'm not sure what that last part means, Mr. President."

"I'll tell you what it means, it means he's a raving lunatic."

"I think we should reserve judgement until all the fact are in, sir"

OK here are a few great cold war movies:

"Ice station Zebra." It doesn't get colder than the north pole.

"A midnight Clear" Winter in Germany WWII. Inadequate clothing compounded by hunger, fatigue. Pretty chilly.

"The Pianist" Although parts of the movie took place in the summer there was a scene towards the end where it was winter and the hero was hiding in an unheated abandonded house. I'd say it was cold–ish.

There was also a movie with Lee Marvin and a lot of snow I think it was the Korean war, I can't remember the title.

There was also "gorky park" with a super–annuated lee marvin, most of which revolved around skating and other winter time activities, but that wasn't really during a war so much as during that period of tension between the US and Soviet Russia before the wall came down.
