Dr. Strangelove is the best movie on the list but The Day After absolutely defines this genre. I was pretty young when i watched it and it affected me in a way that stupid horror movies didn't.
There are some other movies on the periphery of this genre. Like ID4 when they nuked Houston. Or the Planet of the Apes sequel where they worshipped a nuke (that freaked me out). Broken Arrow was a passable action movie IIRC..
