(Somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind I recall a Doomsday Machine in an old movie. Please, somebody agree with me. Please!

)

As a result, I have had a hard time ever since then taking anything with the moniker "Doomsday" seriously!

Yep - Right movie. 1964: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Perhaps you'll recall:
For more than a year, ominous rumors had been privately circulating among high-level Western leaders that the Soviet Union had been at work on what was darkly hinted to be the ultimate weapon: a doomsday device. Intelligence sources traced the site of the top secret Russian project to the perpetually fog-shrouded wasteland below the Arctic peaks of the Zhokhov Islands. What they were building or why it should be located in such a remote and desolate place no one could say.

Best Peter Sellers movie ever.
