I'm always more interested by the post-apocalypse than the means to get there, with the exception of Dr Strangelove.

Dr. Strangelove

Panic in Year Zero

Damnation Alley - camp but who wouldn't want a Land Master? (actually I'd prefer an 8X8 Tatra 815)

Fail Safe

Virus - not Nuclear but definitely apocalypse and it has an Oberon submarine in it!

Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker, a book that prominent filmmakers have optioned but have yet to figure out how to bring to screen.

Richard Rhodes's The Making of the Atomic Bomb - won the Pulitzer Prize, a great book.

John Hersey's Hiroshima (one of the twentieth century's greatest pieces of journalism).

Blade Runner (for me, it has a very post-apocalypse feel, as does the William S. Burroughs book from which the title is taken).

Dr. Strangelove.

Mad Max.

Book, 1950: The Effect of Atomic Weapons

The opening paragraph of Hoban's Riddley Walker, which takes place many centuries after a nuclear war:

"On my naming day when I come 12 I gone front spear and kilt a wyld boar he parbly ben the las wyld pig on the Bundel Downs any how there hadnt ben none for a long time befor him nor I aint looking to see none agen. He dint make the groun shake nor nothing like that when he come on to my spear he weren't all that big plus he lookit poorily. He done the reqwyrt he ternt and stood and clattert his teef and make his rush and there we wer then. Him on 1 end of the spear kicking his life out and me on the other end watching him dy. I said, 'Your tern now my tern later. . ."

Anthony Burgess (author of, among other books, A Clockwork Orange) was a big proponent of this novel. It takes about ten pages to adjust to Hoban's made-up language.

Hoban is also the author of the novel Turtle Diary. Harold Pinter wrote the screenplay for the film version of Turtle Diary, staring Glenda Jackson and Ben Kingsley.

If we're talking books, there's plenty of Philip K Dick post-apocalyptic material. Less successful were the movie adaptations... There were plenty of post-nuclear apocalypse stories in the science fiction genre in the 50s and 60s. No great surprise.

Dr. Strangelove is a movie classic. We probably came closer to that on both sides than anyone is ever going to admit to.

Quote from Guido:

Dr. Strangelove is a movie classic. We probably came closer to that on both sides than anyone is ever going to admit to.

After seeing and reading about the later released information on the Cuban missile crisis plus talking to some participants at the time it sends chills up my spine. A quote from a retired AF pilot that I met that was flying A-4 Skyhawks at the time:
"The gravity of it all really sinks in when you are sitting at the end of the runway in cockpit alert (Homestead AFB) with a nuke under each wing waiting the go order."  I cannot imagine.

We came real close, some Soviet generals believed a first strike was the only way to save themselves but Mutually Assured Destruction worked, more than once. What's interesting to me is how we came from the beginning of mechanized warfare at the start of the century to being able to incinerate the world at a moments notice and how we have managed not to do it, yet.http://www.t-a.no/nyheter/2016/03/04/Her-er-Forsvarets-egne-bilder-fra-Cold-Response-i-Nord-Tr%C3%B8ndelag-12235822.ece#cxrecs_s

Dr Strangelove. 

I think it was the greatest movie ever.

Stanley Kubrick.
