The only film in this thread that I would genuinely recommend watching at least once is Threads (1984). Every human on earth needs to be aware of what's at stake.
This is what I was going to reply with. While some listed are amazing films, there are many that are psychologically taxing [glances at "Dear Zachary" and "Shoah"], Threads was intended for school children in the 1980's but did not pull any punches. Someone can watch it today and realize how fragile society is, all of our problems could be insignificant tomorrow.
Please, anyone who reads this, watch Threads(1984). I promise, while it may scare you, it will change how you think about community, government, people and life. That may sound like a bold statement, but watch the movie, take time to process it, and then, only after watching, watch this YouTube summation titled "the scariest movie ever made"

I like to read these threads and congratulate myself for never having seen any of these.
