Hunker down and ride it out Movies

saabsaab

In the light of what is going on here and around the world we might be looking for suggestions for films about seeing out extreme situations.


I'd suggest 'Stalingrad'


Anything better?

'Grabbers'

seeing that we're living through a type of sci-fi movie senario....i think the likes of Outbreak, Contagion and Pandemic are apt

Slydice

For a .. slightly different perspective: Right at Your Door (2006)

Insect Overlord

Shaun of the Dead. Obviously.

Very underrated little film. And quite scary.

My suggestion is "Bad Boy Bubby"

Homelander

The Divide seems to eh....divide people a lot but I thought it was really good.

Good choice! Is that the last great Terry Gilliam film?

ziedth

I thought Contagion was a very watchable film made.all the better by the current world I'd imagine

joeguevara

66 days. Movie about Bobby Sands. Shows you can last 2 months without grub or bog roll. Lessons could be learned by panic buyers.

rockatansky

Mentioned a few times above but Contagion is a must. Watched it last night again, scary how close it is to what we are seeing today.

A few Zombie flicks will be getting watched too, Train to Busan and World War Z.

Night of the Living Dead

(you can imagine what it will be like when you're hunkered down with the only toilet paper supply in the neighbourhood and infected people are trying to get in)

I saw that b&w one recently, quite tense and enjoyable.



The People under the Stairs.

Currently watching this. I can relate to the characters much better now at 31 than I did when the film first came out.

jimbob_jones

Given the fact that I have to work from home and watch my kids until they go back to school, it was probably a bad idea to watch The Shining today

Slydice

oof! forgot to update!

and rounding off the bus tour with...
Resident Evil (2002)



This concludes your jouney...
you may not have ended up where you wanted but:
- the bus is turned off
- the driver has walked away
- hold on, you're outside the city in the middle of nowhere
- it's dark
- groaning noises getting closer
Graaaagh!

Runaways

Lord of the rings (extended editions)

Naturally. W

1874

"Whistle and I'll come to you"

Not necessarily related to current goings on, but when I saw it (the original) creepy, unnerving.

The Mist (2007)

the purple tin

A Quiet Place

A Quiet Place

Better than that film with Sandra Bullock, not sure of the name of that film she was in, if it was about a person having a mental breakdown or a horror.
Guess you have to suspend disbelief with this one too (but it's watchable),

find it hard to accept the protagonist/creature has a specific thing they cue to, and no-one figured it out earlier (like before humanity was wiped out) that could also be the thing that is their weakness

saabsaab

Not a film but a series. The twilight zone or perhaps its close relative the outer limits.

El Duda

Dawn/Day of the dead - The Romero ones

10 Cloverfield Lane

The Lighthouse

The Shining

30 Days of Night

The Mist

It Comes At Night

Right at your door

silverharp

watch comedies, the news beats any movie hands down at the moment

Quantum Erasure

on the main covid discussion thread someone asked: what are the lads on the Space Station thinking...?

which got me thinking of a film I've seen, Love, produced by Angels & Airwaves, its up on youtube in full, and in HD

random quote from under the trailer on youtube

Movie is not deep and it does not require brain power as some hipsters are claiming... its just a lame movie that has a msg that humans need to connect or we loose our ****, I for one love being alone. My chihuahua is a better companion than most humans I meet. This flick could havr being better if it was 15mins long.

Still better than Interstellar.
