Every year around New Year's Eve I get a craving for end-of-the-world/apocalypse/earth-as-wasteland films. Perhaps just need a morbid thought at the end of each year, or maybe a carryover from (others') lingering Y2K paranoia.

Anyone else enjoy this type of movie at this time of year? If so, what are you watching?

I plan to watch the following on and around NYE:

The Mad Max series
12 Monkeys
Strange Days (primarily for the New Year's celebration)
Omega Man
The Stand

N.B. I know this thread is similar to Repro's "good movies for NYE" thread, but he seemed to want specific suggestions for his friends, and I didn't want to jack his thread. Mods, feel free to merge if necessary.

Dawn of the Dead
Armageddon
Terminator 3

Miracle Mile

28 Days Later
Night of the Comet
The Day After

Mad Max series (particularly 2 and 3!)

I second this one. A great end-of-everything movie that doesn't often get mentioned.

Six String Samurai
Last Night
On the Beach

A big second here.

RS

on the beach is the most depressing film i have ever seen

Quiet Earth

Strongly recommend Last Night.

ghostbusters 2

Co-sign

A Boy and His Dog

It's . . . interesting.

bump for end of the year

You can add Children of Men to the list.

The Seventh Sign
End of Days

Please, please, please take the recommendation of The Day After. It's an amazing little made-for-TV film that deserves all the attention in the world.

Last Night!
