have you read (or seen) on the beach[0] by nevil shute? slow-moving, impending, nuclear winter and the heartrending choices the characters make in the face of it. really left its mark when i read it in high school (haven't seen the films though).

I feel like that book was required HS reading in the 80s. The movie is also good.

I'll add the film Miracle Mile to the suggestions.
