Does anyone know of other good movies that depict life in big cities under mass chaos? I have seen "Y2K" the movie, hated it, "The Trigger Effect", loved it, and will be looking into "Inferno" tonite. Can anyone give me some more titles to look for while I am at the video store tonite ? Also, can anyone direct me to the website that lists the 120 major cities that must be protected ? Thanks people. I love you all.

"Miracle Mile" was pretty cool, but remember, "it's ONLY a movie"!

The Omega Man Charlton Heston stars

---couple for you, Omega Man, with chuck heston, it's a sci fi, but his urban survival against the rampaging hordes is pretty cool. On the Beach is a good ole classic, nuke war scenario, lot of human interest and drama. h-m-m-m Red Dawn isn't too bad, certainly better than that el bombero last night.
