Threads is the most relentlessly grim and bleak thing I've ever seen. It's like they thought "let's make this get bleaker and bleaker until people have just had enough". I was shown it at school aged 9 and watched it out of curiousity about 5 months ago. I couldn't believe they showed it to kids in the 80's. After watching Threads your strategy for nuclear war goes from "hide in a basement" to "run towards the blast" as going quickly is the best approach.
