Conelrad 100 Surely the oddest Top 100 that I've archived here, the Conelrad 100 includes a wide variety of films that tie to the atomic theme of the Conelrad website. It's a fascinating list that runs from big budget blockbusters like Armageddon, Goldfinger and the first two Terminator movies down through amazing obscurities to no budget clunkers like The Beast of Yucca Flats via documentaries, educational films and other ephemera. The original is no longer online but here's a copy at the Wayback Machine (archive.org). The films are not ranked, just listed in alphabetical order. A few include multiple films in a single number.
