·In the age of COVID, which "bad germ" movie kept you up nights? My vote goes to The Andromeda Strain (1971).

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI remember seeing that as a kid on TV and it freaked me out!
I've seen it multiple times...one of those movies I watch even if I catch in part way through when channel surfing.
I'll add Contagion to the list - best part of that was seeing Paltrow croak early on...

··Wow! Custom title... coolIn the age of COVID, which "bad germ" movie kept you up nights? My vote goes to The Andromeda Strain (1971).

Excellent movie but even better book (as is usually the case). Must have read it 10 times

·Andromeda Strain was absolutely the first one that came to mind.
Not made into a movie yet, but THE STAND is a good one.
Edit: I just Googled this, and apparently a new mini-series is in the works, but put on hold because of COVID.

·Unfortunately she is also very good at convincing people to buy her nutcase medical cures too...she and Goop are actually dangerous...
They sure have some odd ideas for scented candles as well...

OTOH I've never made it more than halfway through the film.
Kept getting hung up on all the tiny, irrelevant details they changed.
It's probably worth seeing again, in entirety. 😀
