Not a nuclear film but Johnny Got His gun is a pretty damn grim movie

On the beach the new version. when the young Australian couple with their toddler decide rather than face death by radiation they will take their own lives with the government issued drug suicide kits.then the wife begs her husband at the end they have just one more day.very heavy scene!

The Road and The Grey Zone are both quite bleak.

"When the Wind Blows", perhaps. Also about Nuclear War aftermath IIRC.

Quiet Earth is a great movie!
Here's the trailer:
"I'm a vehemently anti-nuclear, paranoid mess, harbouring a strange obsession with radioactive sheep."

I can't think of another one bleaker than Threads.
The other three Barry Hines films that I've seen have all been bleak. Kes and The Price of Coal have some humour in them, but the endings make you feel almost sick in both. Looks and Smiles is bleak throughout with little humour, but doesn't have any particularly shocking bits.
