Best ecological movies

[Gabby Hayes]

I’ll start out with a couple of obvious oldie goldies – “Silent Running” and “Soylent Green.” My daughter insisted on “Wall-e.” Does “A Boy and his Dog” qualify? Or “ZPG?”

If you can find it and manage to watch the first 15 minutes, then an HBO documentary, “Chernobyl Heart,” needs to be mentioned.

There’s a lot more than I can remember, so please fill me in. Next time maybe we can take a crack at the best ecological songs, beginning with most of Spirit’s songs from long ago.

1. "An Inconvenient Truth" of course

An obvious one for the list.

Many PBS Nova specials.
Almost anything from the BBC hosted by David Attenborough.

2. Nova: an obvious one I did indeed miss.......

Along with the Oscar winning "Inconvenient Truth."

3. Gasland and The Last Mountain. Fracking and mountaintop removal.

4. Godzilla.

With the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Daigo Fukuryū Maru incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a monster created by nuclear detonations and a metaphor for nuclear weapons in general.
