As a veteran of the cold war I can truly say that the Cuban missle crisis (as it's fondly referrerd to) stands out as THE most tramatic event of my childhood. I was 11 years old at the time, living in Los Angeles (a prime target full of aircraft manufacturing plants and shipping terminals) and the clock was ticking. I was a science geek and Sci-Fi freak and that Atomic Bomb scared the piss outta me. A few movies that I love to watch are: Dr. Strangelove (natch), Atomic Cafe, The Day After, Panic In The Year Zero, On The Beach & Fail Safe. Fear is such a rush!
