What's your favorite epidemic film?

Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America (2006).

Twelve Monkeys.

I gotta concur.

Virus (1980)

[–] SoapboxQuantez08 (646) 5 years ago

I've wondered about that one for a long time.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21539) 5 years ago

I was on a Henry Silva marathon when I ran across it on his filmography. Also you get Sonny Chiba! It really is an ambitious film and if I remember correctly it’s a Japanese production.

Outbreak 1995

I see Outbreak almost as a comedy.

Yes!

Blond and Blonder (2007) starring Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards. So many STD's spread in between those two "actresses".

The first three Romero zombie films were excellent, not sure if they count but that would be a proper way to go out👍

Contagion (2011) or Carriers (2009)

They are both pretty good.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Carriers was really good and kind of overlooked.

Good pick!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

i gave carriers a re-watch a few weeks ago. it's streaming on tubitv for anyone who feels like catching up with it.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Contagion (2011) might be the most realistic movie ever made about what a real world epidemic might be like and how it'd be handled. Not action packed like Outbreak or anything, but entertaining in its way.

Train to Busan (2016)

It's an infected movie (like '28 days'), but it's brilliantly done.

Kairo (2001)

It mixes the pandemic genre with ghost movies. It's a weird movie, but fascinating.

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 5 years ago

I love Kairo. Depressing and creepy as hell
