Chernobyl is a great watch, especially as it's a true story about a nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the 80s.
Its gripping from the minute you watch start watching it, you can just tell something is going to go wrong and when it does, it's many people pay the price with their lives all because of a very stubborn man and his decisions to carry out test that came be done properly.
Chernobyl the city has to be abandoned straight away and still remains radioactive to this day.
It's not just about the explosion but how so many was affected and the trail when finding out who was to blame.

Movie Rating
The Jack Arnold SF B-movie that was always critically acceptable eschews schlocky thrills, mostly, for a more psychologically resonant drama. Plot sounds daft - businessman gets caught in radioactive cloud, starts to have trouble with his shoe size - but the treatment is absolutely serious.

Film manages to make trying to avoid being eaten by your cat or a passing spider seem like a genuinely deadly struggle, but it is just as much about the psychological effects of the main character's transformation as he struggles to maintain his sense of self-worth (size matters, if you know what I mean). The actual ending is somewhat obscure transcendental bibble-bobble, but this is a typically solid Arnold movie which is unusually open about its serious subtext.

Movie Favorite

"Repo Man was one of the most important formative films of my teenage years. Later, when I moved to LA for a summer, I couldn’t stop thinking that I was actually living it out, because the city is such an extraordinarily strange place full of people who seem like their brains are being microwaved by the sun. Repo Man is a great movie about blue-collar weirdos in a wasteland of people living off defaulted loans, forming their identities through various “codes,” and searching for a sense of community in male fraternity, punk rock, religion, work, government, conspiracy theories, and/or outer space. And as time passes, the more jetting off the planet in a radioactive Chevy Malibu seems like a good idea."
