By way of contrast there's the final atomic blast sequence from Nicolas Roeg's Insignificance (1985) (with Gary Busey, Michael Emil, Theresa Russell, Tony Curtis, Will Sampson).

It's a simple premise, what if Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy meet in a hotel room.
From the director that bought us Walkabout (1971), Don't Look Now (1973), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), Bad Timing (1980) and The Witches (1990).

I remember enjoying Insignificance when I was twelve or thirteen. I haven't revisited it since then to get an adult appraisal of it, but for films "every physics lover should watch in their lifetime" you probably can't leave off a movie about Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy hanging out in a hotel suite.
