Ironic. I just got done re-reading the novel "Warday", a fictional account of the aftermath of a Soviet-US exchange. In the book, EMP destroys all electronics first. Because of the proximity to the US, Mexico and Canada are pretty pissed, as they lost all electronics too.
Very sad stuff. Makes you wonder how many nukes may be hidden and ready.

There's a similarly-themed British film called "Threads" (circa 1984).

Hi-
"Warday" is a good read. More political and apocalyptical than sci-fi. 2 writers go cross-country in the aftermath of the event, gathering info and stories from the survivors. California becomes its own country (almost). Kind of like now, but more so.
Seek out a used copy.

Another British film that used sci-fi to explore the collapse of civilization (as might have happened in a nuclear war), was Day of the Triffids, a film that is ripe for a remake.
But something that I hope is much better than the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds.

I enjoyed "The Road" (book and film).
Didn't see it, but I believe the film"On the Beach" is in the same vein.

A friend of mine, Takayo Fischer, was in it, but I never saw it because I heard it was pretty bad, so I don't know what part she played.

As a lifelong racing enthusiast, "Days of Thunder" is so full of fictional rubbish it's not worth my time, in my personal opinion.
But's it's just a movie, not a documemtary.

Grand Prix, hands down. Saw it in the theatre.
I'm not into endurance racing, but I have attended the 24 hours of Daytona several times.
F1 mandated to a 2 hr time limit.
I prefer break it and park it, over pacing, race tape and the like.
I'm a formerjournalist for the Ferrari Owner's Clubs magazine, web site, a 2 other's sites overseas.
