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
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
*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.
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.
