I used to have vivid nightmares about nuclear war as a kid, so I've avoided a lot of movies on the subject. Didn't see The Day After until years after it aired. It's pretty graphic, and I've heard Threads is worse (There's a clip on Youtube where the manager of CKY TV says Threads makes The Day After look like a walk in the park). Can't bring myself to watch it.
There's a movie called Testament from about 1983 which is supposed to be completely heart-ripping. Miracle Mile from 1988, too.
