The beautiful thing about this view is that no one can prove you wrong

It wont happen during my lifetime but way in the future
Try not to be short-sighted.  This isn't a "yeah huh" vs "nuh uh" thing at all.  It's a certainty the climate will warm a lot in the future.  It's also a certainty it will cool back down as well.  
Also a certainty is that human's influence on nature , regardless of the severity, is mostly about how quick it's been.  Nature itself tends to act at a glacial pace.  Our pace?  It's like a rocket ship.

We know sea levels have risen in prehistory, and fallen, by a lot, but not due to man's contributions obviously.  That isn't the misleading unrealistic aspect of these movies.

I see folks asking why Obama bought near sea level property if he believes in CC.

But some folks really appear to believe the oceans would experience a major rise in their  lifetimes if we don't "do something", and by major I mean tens of feet.
'Near sea level' is a lot different than current populated spots already being below sea level (NOLA, Miami, etc).

NOLA was built barely above sea level but the levees and such added messed with the natural absorbency of swamps to control floods naturally.ASK badgerfan he knows a thing or two about the lay of the land

My one preference for "realistic" is horror movies.  Not that I hate horror movies with unrealistic / supernatural bad guys or anything, it's just I really prefer horror movies where the heroes all make smart, informed decisions and still get eaten / killed.

Misery, Green Room, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Open Water, Jaws, The Road, Strangers, and The Hitcher are all great movies that I love and fairly realistic.

Even if you want to throw some supernatural in there, The Thing, Alien, 28 Days Later, and The Conjuring also somewhat fall into that category.
Same.  I think a slow burn horror film, even cheaply made, always holds up.

Why simply just not watch movies?

To me they are mostly a waste of time and money.

I think a few are very good, worth watching, very few, and almost nothing current.  My wife and I have been to a theater once in our relationship over a decade.

That was to see a very good movie I've watched 4-5-6 times.

I read a lot, a decent library is less than a mile up the road.  I often quit on a book after a couple chapters, at times after a couple pages.  There is a lot of garbage that gets published.  I try and figure out what makes a well written book, I can't really emulate that though I try.

Rattlesnake invades midtown Atlanta parking garage (yahoo.com)

This is a couple miles from us.  I won't tell my wife about it.  Our parking spaces are below ground and the area is not that well lit ...
