It's the End of the World, time for Zombie Pandemic movies.

[BritManToo]

So we're all stuck at home, while a virus sweeps the world.

Time to watch all those movies that predicted this over again.

I'm starting with 28 Days Later, World War Z, I am Legend and 28 Weeks Later.

What are your 'end of the world pandemic' favourite movies?

[CharlieH]

S,pose you could re-run the "Walking Dead" series, binge watch 10 seasons of that.

 

I liked and re-watched "Outbreak" recently.

 

I think most of the movies got covered in this topic though......

I get movies from Netflix and Popcorn, I did start watching " walking dead" again cause the lady with the samurai sword is sooooo hot. ????

[Airalee]

Not Zombie nor Pandemic, but ‘The Road’ with Viggo Mortensen is an top notch Apocalyptic film.

 

 

[BritManToo]

Survivors TV series 1975 is the first I can remember to predict the end of the world through Pandemic.

Were there any before that?

That beats Omega Man 1971 with Charlton Heston.

But not the original 'Last Man on Earth' 1964 with Vincent Price (which was remade as the Omega Man).

how about him with Edgar G Robinson in Soylent Green, when you got to a certain age they biscuitized you and fed the rest of world - hell maybe we'll end up there eventually.

I was always fond of The STand mini series - first part I think is perfect in todays atmosphere

[NCC1701A]

don't forget the original "The Omega Man"

The original 'Omega Man' was called 'Last man on Earth' 1964 with Vincent Price.

Charlton Heston 'Omega Man' was a remake.

Which was a movie of a novel called “I am legend”

there is a little known cult classic about a expat who lives in Hua Hin Thailand. He wakes up one day and every woman under the age of 55 is dead. Can't remember the name.

and a lot of different services are giving freebies too -  probably trying to win loyalty for down the road like you say. It's actually the best of times for watching the tube except the lack of live sports so I've been substituting pornography for hockey and the wife's getting a little pi**ed - she's not a prude, she just doesn't want the neighbors to think we're doing all that moanin' lol...

The obvious choice is Contagion, but as far as the ends of the world go, I liked the effects in 2012: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/

I just signed up (again) yesterday.   Its been about 6 months so there should be some new content.   I just need a few hours a day to help with the boring parts.  There is only a limited

amount of time a sane person can stay on TV  555  If i were an artist i would draw caricatures

of the various celebrities here as I imagine them to look  ☺️☺️  .   All in fun, kids

Forgot that movie ...... downloading ...... thanks.

I've just started re-watching the brilliant BBC 1975 series "Survivors".

 

Story precis - Deadly virus escapes from (looks awfully Chinese) lab, almost everybody dies.

That was a great series. Really good intro.

I thought Quatermass with John Mills was older , but it came out in '79.

 

Walking Dead is a great series, but only till season 8. Season 9 Rick leaves and the writers went full PC and it has become a pathetic stupid show, IMO.

I stopped watching it when the women became really strong and independent, but still too stupid to wear long sleeve shirts.

To be honest I don't remember, I went through a "mad downloader" phase a few years back. Would have been one of the UK centric torrent sites.

You can find it on T2 ;

I don't give you the link here because it's forbidden to write about torrents 

PM if you want .
