I'm trying to find a movie that I don't remember very much about at
all... The plot I remember is that there was some sort of occurance,
like a manmade/ generated electrical pulse around the world that made
everyone die  or disappear (I can't remember if there were bodies) at
the exact same moment in time. And there were a small group of people
that survived and they all figured out that the reason they survived
is that at the exact moment the pulse thing happened, they were all
about to die for other reasons (suicide, car accident, whatever).   A
group of them eventually finds each other and some how try to figure
things out and get to some place (maybe where the pulse thing happened
from?) and I think there's 2 men and a woman and there's some love
triangle thing where of course one guy loses out.  That's pretty much
all I remember that I can describe. I also might remember something at
the end where they discover 2 suns rising in the morning, but then
again that could be a completely different movie...  I appreciate it
if you can figure out what this movie is!

I am certain that your movie is "The Quiet Earth." This is one of my
favorite films, and it matches your description beautifully.

Internet Movie Database: The Quiet Earth (1985) 
http://imdb.com/title/tt0089869/

There is a detailed plot description here:

Wikipedia: The Quiet Earth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quiet_Earth_(film)

"The Quiet Earth" is available on DVD and VHS:

Amazon: The Quiet Earth (DVD)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EZ908Y 

Amazon: The Quiet Earth (VHS)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/6300248216

I hope this is the correct film! If it is not, or if anything is
unclear or incomplete, please request clarification; I'll be glad to
offer further assistance before you rate my answer.

Best regards,

I notice that the Wikipedia link isn't working, because the
end-parenthesis was dropped from the hyperlink when the text was
posted. Please try this to get to the Wikipedia page:

Wow, yes, indeed, that could be a record!  And with four links.

I have an image of Pink with her finger nervously clicking on the
search box to see new questions.  When does she read all those books
and watch all the films?
