FLU (This Korean movie plays like a BIG budget summer movie. Thrilling from beginning to end! MUCH better than the slow burn boring "Contagion". Flu is currently FREE on Prime, btw)

Outbreak (Dustin Hoffman and a slew of stars. Good flick. Currently on Netflix).

BTW, when you pull up FLU on Prime, you'll also see a slew of other plague stuff that's worth watching.

Train to Busan (2016) on Netflix.

This is a highly rated Korean language film about the zombie virus. If you like world war Z type zombies you will like this flick.

Moved from P&N.

I watched Outbreak about 10 days ago. Contagion is in my library's hold list for me but they shut down today for the forseeable future, so who knows. I have 12 Monkeys from the library now, can watch it any time. Saw Soilent Green a few years ago. I'm sure there are others. 10 days ago when I watched Outbreak I did it to get the gestalt of what a pandemic might be like here in the modern world. However right now, what we are seeing seems just as provocative as any science fiction movie could be. We've come that far in just these last 10 days.

If you want, I'll make a torrent you can download.

If you're going to isolate, I say do it with style..

Yea, I was going to say "Andromeda Strain".
I checked that out of the library a few weeks ago, started reading and realized immediately that Crichton used a very unnecessary trick, being making the pathogen from outer space. As we see now, it can pop up right here on earth, no dumb extraterrestrial bullshit necessary. I returned it to the library unread. I did read Jurassic Park. That seemed reasonable science fiction. And, of course, the movie was great.

Edit: Didn't know there were so many apocalyptic movies. Guess I should have known.

The Andromeda Strain is a great book. The pathogen is not exactly from space but from the upper part of our atmosphere. The story is not just about the virus but also how we deal with a nightmare both on a human level as well as a secret government level.

Does it reveal something with respect to where we are now with this pandemic? I gotta say, it has my full attention.

No. Crichton writes big, interesting stories that he never quite knows how to end. So usually his stories keep you riveted right up until the end and then *poof* he lets you down. Andromeda Strain and Sphere are the two biggest offenders. Really good for a long time, but don't expect any insight.
