Defiance
(This movie was based on the book Defiance: The Bielski Partisans
by Nechama Tec.)
The Flight of the Phoenix
(Buy the original version, made in 1965, starring Jimmy Stewart. The recent remake pales in comparison.)
I Am Legend (a good remake of The Omega Man
)
The Magnificent Seven
the American remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (Shichinin No Samurai)
The Matrix Series (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions)
The Omega Man
Open Range
(IMHO, one of the better western films made)
Panic in Year Zero (The corny film that first got me thinking about TEOTWAWKI, when I was a lad)
The Postman
(A typically "Hollywood" overblown production, but still a good think piece)
Red Dawn
The Road Warrior , aka Mad Max movies (Mad Max 2 "The Road Warrior" is by far the best of the three, although Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomehas its merits)
Schindler's List
(BTW, it is too bad that Spielberg didn't show Oskar Schindler arming his Jewish employees--which is what actually happened)
Serenity
(I also highly recommend the short-lived cable television series Firefly
, from which this feature film spun off.)
Seven Samurai (Shichinin No Samurai)
Shane
(IMHO, the best western film ever made)
Soylent Green
(This one barely made my list, but you may find it worth watching)
The Terminator
movies (Terminator 2
is by far the best, IMHO. (Terminator 3
was a bit lame, but worth seeing if only for the glimpses of "Crystal Peak".) The television series Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles
also has its merits.)
Things to Come(1936)
Victory at Sea
(Documentary on World War II.)
Note: If you enjoy movies with survival themes, then you will like reading my "Pulling Through" screenplay (available for free download.)
Proviso: Most of these films are NOT for children. I recommend that you pre-view these films to check their suitability for your kids at their particular ages.
