Virus Films to give you a Warm Feeling at This Time

[RadcliffeRick]

Just watching I am legend, it reminds my of my drive into Kuala Lumpur City center on Saturday. I didn't realise that there was an alternative ending to this film.
Any other apocalypse films to watch to give me a nice warm feeling?

'The Stand' is free on YouTube. Over 5 hrs so a good time filler. Deffo recommend the book though, as the serialised tv-movie gets the same 'b-movie' treatment that a lot of SK's stuff seems to.

Watched the Tom Hanks film ‘Inferno’ yesterday. Far too similar to what’s going on now for comfort. Even the ‘virus’ they shown looked like Covid-19.

Contagion
Outbreak

On The Beach

That was the result of nuclear war so not quite a match.

The wife was watching Contagion from a recording the other day and it's quite eerie, as watching it the first time, you tend to think it's all made up just for cinema. It really hits home watching it now.

Never mind the films, what we need is the antidote.... something like by accident finding out having sex twice a day stops infection. ;)

Pandemic on Netflix watch it very interesting. It’s a true documentary

Plenty of good end of days books and films/series, pity Fox made a bit of a dogs dinner of The Passage by Justin Cronin as it has the makings of brilliant TV

The 1971 film ‘The Andromeda Strain’ is pretty good.

The more recent ‘Alien Covenant’ also overlaps a little with this kind of territory.

Thanks for all the suggestions. That's the next 2 weeks viewing sorted.

What is the alternative ending please Rick?
One of my favourite films of all time so update me please.
I do know that I am Legend is an updated version of The Omega Man starring Charlton Heston,which in turn is a variation of The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price.

The Crazies - 1973 and 2010 versions

"The Flu" is the first ever South Korean disaster film about a viral pandemic. It has been garnering much attention after being voted first place in "Most Anticipated Film" survey conducted by Nate for August with a whopping 47%. The highly anticipated disaster film tells the story of panic, despair, and desperate struggle for survival of a hopeless city that has been quarantined and essentially left for dead after the outbreak of a deadly virus. With its realistic portrayal of the horror and chaos that follows a national scale disaster, "The Flu" may just be the film that will make history in the South Korean disaster film genre.

Watched V for Vendetta last night. The idea of a virus being created and spread by the government to instil fear in the populace, and enabling the rulers to impose curfews and new legislation struck a little nerve.
