Are there any 80's movies like this one?

There are a few flicks like this one as you get older you will run into them, I have. I saw Miracle Mile and loved it around the time it was released, just rewatched it again today on DVD there are some things I didn't remember happening but it's still pretty good (if you grew up in the 80's, then maybe not so good if not, it's kind of stupid). Check out the web site if it's still around conalrad.com and these movies may be interesting to you, Def Con 4, Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Panic In Year Zero, Twighlight's Last Gleaming, The Lost Missile, Damnation Alley, War Games, The Bedford Incident, Countdown to Looking Glass, Repo Man, and on and on and on. Of course don't forget Red Dawn!

If you can sit through it, there are some similarities to the miniseries "The Stand."

12:01 PM (1990): Time travel short film, but has a similar feel to this. Pretty good.

Last Night (1998): Similar story, but didn't found it all that engaging.

You might also like Into The Night with Jeff Goldblum.

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you and hear da lamentations of da women.

I don't know that I would call it "perfect", but I liked this movie particularly because it was “Los Angeles noir”.

I used to hang out quite often in that “Ships” restaurant where much of the filming was done. I liked that area of L.A., and also hung out at places like The Bodhi Tree.

So in the vein or disposition of L.A. noir:

Blade Runner

Omega Man

Repo Man

Terminator (the original)

and of course, Chinatown

The closet movie like this from the 80's that i can think of is "One Night Stand" (1984). A great film. It has a nuclear war backdrop and is a lot like Miracle Mile. I have a VHS copy, good luck finding it on dvd.
