Asking Brits who saw Threads when they were in school in the 80's (I guess you're probably in your early to mid 50's now, right?).

How did you and others in your class react to the film? Did you and your peers worry much around that time?

Just finished it myself, and it was very convincing in how it depicted the effects of a nuclear attack. Some of the events detailed as precursors to nuclear war were also worryingly similar to current events.

I was in primary school so didn’t see it at the time, but I did watch it again the other week as my wife hadn’t seen it.

The parallels with current events were a little worrying, especially the lack of attention paid to the news on the radio.

There are recent rumours of a modern remake.

I was actually hoping there would be one while watching it. Hoping that the modern remake would make as much effort to be accurate - the list of PhD's consulting for the original is pretty impressive.
