Re: Early-mid 80's 'bomb shelter' short

Can't help with the original question, I'm afraid, but like most children of the 1970's I remember the "Protect & Survive" films:

It's genuinely chilling to watch those isn't it... knowing just how close we came. It's the matter-of-factness
about them that kept me awake at night when I first saw them.

A film with a similar storyline is:

Blast From the Past (1999)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124298/

Romantic comedy about a naive man who comes out into the world after being in a nuclear fallout shelter for 35 years.

Starring: Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone Christoher Walken

I seem to have forgotten about this thread for a bit! Yes, I saw Blast From The Past too, Twocky61 - really enjoyed it. Wonder what Brendan Fraser is up to these days..?I've tried posting about this elsewhere, but it seems to have everybody stumped - which is a pity. Imagine being a budding film-maker who, after years of trying to scrape together the funding for a project they've nursed through film school finally gets to realise their vision and make that short film... only for it to be seen by a handful of people then quickly forgotten.Perhaps the film-makers themselves read this forum..? If so, please, please get in touch so we get this short the recognition it deserves! Also, to narrow things down a bit, I ought to mention that the film I saw it in front of was a U or PG certificate.

THE MYSTERY HAS FINALLY BEEN SOLVED! by williampurry over at imdb.


It's The Best Ever Nuclear Fall out Shelter (1987) http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b79c9154d . No Trace of it online, sadly, but I'm satisfied that this is the one.

Phew! That puts an end to years of googling, searching and head scratching. I want to say a big Thank-you to all who have shown an interest and tried to help, both here and on all the other forums I have posted on!

That's it! Slightly different to how I remembered it, but that's definitely the one. Thanks for sharing! I can get on with my life now...

Those protect and survive films brigs back the chills down my spine.
