"Atomic-Powered" Films?

So, I've recently been feeling a craving for some good bomb related movies. I watched Strangelove (shouldn't need to describe) and Atomic Cafe (documentary of archives of american footage and audio relating to the atom bomb) again. I also watched Failsafe, which is basically Strangelove but serious (there is 1 joke I remember which was in the second scene), and The Face of Jizo, which is more about survivor guilt than it is about the bomb, but is still a fine film.
Anyone have any other recommendations?

Well...no. At least, not that I am aware of.
But, after hearing of the experience with
Earthsea, I will only put the thought of a decent adaptation out into the universe...
