I just watched an interesting movie called "The World, The Flesh, and The Devil," from 1959, starring Harry Belafonte. It is thought to be the first post-nuclear holocaust film, where Belafonte is trapped in a mine for a few days, and when he digs his way out, the entire world has been wiped out by a nuclear holocaust.
It's not the greatest movie ever, with some occasional weak writing, and questionable acting, but it was still an entertaining watch just the same. One of those 6/10 movies that is somehow still compelling.
