Three old films, from novels by Nevil Shute:
"A Town Like Alice", "No Highway" and "On the Beach". *
For me, Shute was a very pedestrian writer, but he told great stories, so his books worked really well as films.
* (The story goes that Ava Gardner said she thought it was very appropriate to make a film about the end of the world in Melbourne. It was probably pretty dull back in about 1960.)
