This low-budget post-apocalyptic thriller only feels 20 years long. It’s set two decades after the nuclear holocaust killed almost everyone and drove the survivors underground. Some of the survivors are trying to find the others, some are trying to find the only pregnant woman left. Watch something else.
IMDB: 20 Years After.

The most elite military training is shown in gritty detail in this documentary series. The impossible tasks performed at full strength under sleep deprivation drive home how these services–Army Rangers, US Marine Recon, Air Force Pararescue, and Navy EOD, among others–weed out most people who start the courses.

Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson deliver picture perfect performances as two soldiers assigned to the US Army Casualty Notification Team. Foster’s character, recently wounded in combat, tries to hold it together next to Harrelson’s self-destructive character, a career officer. This unforgettable drama lays bare the toll paid by veterans.
IMDB: The Messenger.
