47. "Fat Man and Little Boy" (1989)

from World War II Movie Night

Felix and Oscar got nothing on Groves and Oppenheimer, the original atomic odd-couple. This 1989 film portrays Los Alamos, the Manhattan Project, and the eventual Trinity Test. Military and Scientists butt heads about how to use the awesome power they're about to unleash. Watch a fictional-yet-factual take on actions that will be debated the rest of our lives. Enjoy Paul Newman's gruff take on General Groves, and the test is pretty cool... Asides include how, as teenagers, my generation had subpar history movies.
