BritManToo Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 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...... https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1154186-favourite-movies-to-watch-while-avoiding-virus/?tab=comments#comment-15175200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airalee Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not Zombie nor Pandemic, but ‘The Road’ with Viggo Mortensen is an top notch Apocalyptic film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Survivors TV series 1975 is the first I can remember to predict the end of the world through Pandemic. Were there any before that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ☺️☺️ .

Were there any before that? 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
