For me it was, The Missles of October. I lived through the near panic of the Cuban missile crisis, and this movie really hit the mark.
No doubt, there are many more that have slipped through the cracks of time. I look forward to people jogging my memory.

With William Devane as John F Kennedy . It was terrific .

Truly Madly Deeply

This out at the same time as Ghost, which was a massive hit starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.
TMD has a similar premise but much more charm and humour, with Alan Rickman as a slightly grumpy and dishevelled ghost, and Juliette Stephenson as his grieving widow.

@hitmouse I bawled my eyes out. Rickman and Stephenson were perfect.

Chernobyl (technicaly a mini series I guess) Superb dramatisation of that nightmare event. It captured the place, time and the regime perfectly. You were there.

I didn't know that.

I've just found the 1st one available on YouTube. So I probably give it a rewatch.
I didn't see the second one though. (But I wasn't looking for it.)

A series that started out so brilliantly .
