Post Apocalyptic Films - List Your Faves!
 

I'll admit it, I love this genre. Jack Lord got my wheels turning in the Rocky Horror remake thread so who else likes these films and which ones? I'd like to find a few I've missed. (Omit the zombie films though as those are deserving of their own thread anyway.) Have at it -

Mad Max
Omega Man
Cherry 2000
Le Dernier Combat
A Boy and His Dog
The Postman (let the rotten vegetable throwing commence)
The Ultimate Warrior (although it has been years since I saw it)

No Question:

When Worlds Collide (natural)
On the Beach (man made)

Soylent....green...is...people !!!!

On the Beach - the original, although the new one is OK too.
Testament
The Quiet Earth

Tank Girl - just for the sheer stupidity of it...
Damnation Alley - same reason


This may be slightly out of genre:
Silent Running
Red Dawn

Damn the Punctuation Nanny..My last post was all in capitals & the One Who Knows Better wouldn't let it stand as such...Another one would be the "Planet of the Apes" series.

Apocalyptica now (that was easy )

You took my favorites!
I love Soylent Green,
and I have a Boy and His Dog on betamax and it looks great.

Oh yes! :thmbsp:

"Get your hands off of me you damned dirty ape...."

Also...

Silent Running with Bruce Dern

Escape From New York
Blade Runner (was this post-apocalyptic?)

The Last Man on Earth (first version of I Am Legend before The Omega Man)

Battlestar Galactica (not a movie but certainly post Apocalyptic)

I don't know if they have made a film of it, but you guys should read "Ape & Essence" by Aldous Huxley. Post Apocalyptic Los Angeles, demon worshipers and orgies in the ruins of the LA Memorial Coliseum.

Great stuff here, quite a few I hadn't considered.

Shame on me for missing Red Dawn. "Wolverines" is my sig on another board too!

"Silent Running" I would have put into Sci-Fi but it makes complete sense in this regard. It is a really overlooked and underpraised film.

And for a humorous look at this setting:

"A Boy And His Dog", starring a young Don Johnson. :D

I really really liked 'I Am Legend'.

Wasn't Cherry 2000 about a guy who tries to get his hooker/robot back?


Been a Loooooong time since I saw that one!

I'd prolly say Mad Max for me.
