Plague- or pandemic-themed movies

Supposing one wanted to entertain oneself while quarantined with nothing but films depicting plague- or pandemic-related scenarios. Make some suggestions for me.

The Seventh Seal
Love in the Time of Cholera
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Help me. It could be 14 days, after all!

Outbreak
The Stand
The Plague
The Walking Dead

The first 2 hrs of The Stand. (Ninja’d)
Contagion

Panic in the Streets
The Killer that Stalked New York
Last Man on Earth
(and remakes)
What’s So Bad about Feeling Good?
The Andromeda Strain
(and remake)
The Crazies (and remake)
Rabid
Lifeforce
12 Monkeys

I Am Legend (2007)
Carriers (2009)
Cargo (2017)
The Ωmega Man (1971)

I actually see quite a few parallels to Contagion in the news every day. I’m surprised forsythia isn’t being stolen on a regular basis.

The Horseman on the Roof
Flesh+Blood
The Masque of the Red Death

Flesh and Blood.

No love for The Last Man on Earth?

I haven’t seen this, but on the basis of the trailer, I’ll go ahead and recommend Doomsday (2008):

A large portion of Taras Bulba has plague (in Krakow, I think).

No “pandemic” tag. :slight_smile:

I’ve seen articles that Contagion, even though it’s an almost ten year old movie, is very popular in video-on-demand services right now.

28 Days Later.

Saturday Night Fever?

The polar opposite of movies like these must be the Madagascar ones. :slight_smile:
Madagascar (franchise) - Wikipedia

*Contagion *is by far the most applicable to the current situation. It’s downright prescient in a lot of ways. It’s also a very serious movie unlike a lot of the other popular candidates mentioned.

Yeah, but Panic in the Streets has Zero Mostel.

Outbreak
Contagion
And the ending of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” - it’s practically in the end credits, but a good “charting” of how a dangerous virus spreads around the planet.

I think “turned to zombie/less-than-human” movies don’t really apply.
So stuff like “28 Days Later” and “Omega Man” are in a different category.
