While we're going with nuclear catastrophes, here's another of my favorites, On The Beach.

 

read the book by Nevil Schute (sp?) waaaaay back.  Never saw the film.  Book was boring considering the plot line.  One by one suicides.  Not my thing.

The scene in Chinatown where Jack Nicholson has lunch with John Houston.  The script is rightfully held up as exceptional example of the art form.  But it's the malicious unspoken drama going on underneath the dialog that moves the plot as much as any other scene in the film truly does.  You don't know who's more effective in the way they spit vitrol.  The cynical detective Gittes played by Nicholson.  Or Houston's Noah Cross, the personification of pure evil.

Couple of clips:

This one is a timepiece.  But especially if you're Italian, please check out Lover's and Other Strangers.  You might notice Clemenza and Maude in the starring roles.
