Representatives of Lawrence Livermore Laboratories and the film industry are digitizing some of the atomic bomb movies shot on old nitrate film in the 1950s. Several have been declassified and 60 of them are here on a YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvGO_dWo8VfcmG166wKRy5z-GlJ_OQND5 I find these fascinating and, in some cases, beautiful. Some of the more interesting ones are: Dominic-Housatonic 120256 and Dominic Harlem- beautiful stellate atmospheric airbursts Plumbbob-Diablo 41549 and Teapot-Tesla-low altitude / ground burst testing Teapot Tesla 28652-close up of ground effect from fireball and blast Plumbob-Rainier 43771-an underground mountain "shot" which produces some visible reduction in the mountain.
