Hmmm, now I'm torn whether to invest the $2.99 on Amazon Prime to watch it. The scene in the original with Larry Hagman and Henry Fonda on the phone with the Soviet leader is so powerful.

I would say you won't be disappointed for 3 dollars. I watched both, I thought george cloony might be a vampire for a second, it does not feel like a modern movie. Like if you went back in time, downgraded the quality and aired it on 1960's tv, people might buy that its from their time.

I just finished watching it and have to say it was as compelling and sobering as the film. I'm glad that they kept it set in the 60s and didn't try to modernize it.

trying to imagine it modernized makes me brain malfunction

Maybe it can go as far as 1980, but after the collapse of the USSR... i feel like it would not be hard to convince a pilot to land anymore because the fanaticism is down

they would need to rewrite a good book and then base the movie on that, just a script writer trying to translate it would fail so hard, back then you had like.. real people involved with the issues easily available, you can't just shift that kind of rhetoric and politics and people 60 years easily for the same situation to occur. Not saying that something like that cannot happen anymore, but the idea of a script writer predicting it in such a plausible way that is believable is difficult (but the sequence of events now that would be required to happen would likely be hard to believe as they happened right now in the order that they would need to occur for this to happen), I almost feel as if you did have a nuclear war scenario right now, and you went back in time to make a movie, people would just not believe it.

That missile alert in hawai was the most relevant thing and thats not even mentioned anymore.

you would need to fit the fattest most jiggly ass possible into one of those air force skirts to get people into the theater ... then have them twerk  :palm:

I remember some movie about a machine that makes wishes come true, I forgot the title.

Jurassic Park has a scene with the circuit breakers that's quite interesting in a way. Surprisingly, the part with having to "pump" the main breaker to turn it on is realistic, not sure about the smaller breakers that are turned on by pressing buttons but I suppose that's possible.

Then also in Jurassic Park, there's a scene with the girl and the UNIX computers that means a lot to me because one of my friends thinks of herself as like the real life version of that character.
