Favourite survivalism related films

Tabnabs

Anyone else catch 'Blackout' last night? Overly dramatic and mainly London based. It did through up a few relevant issues, but certainly nothing new.

Mrs Tabnabs now understands OPSEC, after me shouting at the numpty prepper.

Haven't seen it yet, but definitely going to give it a whirl.

Yeah it was more of a backdrop for the Intense Personal Drama. Sometimes I think these shows are doing more harm than good since they make people imagine everyone's going to turn into raging psychos at the first bulb flicker.

Yes, I think it's important to remember that raging nutters, running around trying to murder and loot will be the exception to the rule. Most people, IMO, will be in favour of law and order. If need be, in a sitX, group up with neighbours and look after each other.

Agreed.

My wife and I lol'd when the preppers wife said "You seem to be happy that the electricity's gone".

As long as I get to wear leather chaps and a mohawk I'm good.

Jericho

A TV series that could easily have failed but it worked fantastically

YA .... just started watching it just, watched first 5 episodes, looks great
post-nuclear attack set-up similar to day after or testament
there's 30 episodes in two seasons

Got cancelled for not having enough viewers although its highly rated by those that have watched it.

Nobody has mentioned probably the one which started all of the modern day films (filums);)

No Blade Of Grass.........I think there is only me and turbo fingers Grizzly who must be old enough to remember it.

There are a couple of scenes which are class........Family trying to escape the cities which are starving and they are robbed of everything by normal folk at a country road block and the family ask "what kind of people are you" and the reply is "same as you mister, the same as you"............perfect for showing how people will desend to do anything when desperate enough........learn that lesson!!!

i thought the film was ok-ish but the book was great

Haven't watched it myself as in the trailer the cast looked suspiciously pretty for hardened survivors. I'd like to hear from anyone that has though.

I can recommend Snowpiercer. This one was more surviving in post apocalyptic situation than modern survivalist but I enjoyed it all the same.
