Post-apocolyptic movies
I tried a search for this and came up with a thread on a movie based on Avril Lavigne's Skater Boy.
I just saw the trailer for The Book of Eli and it looks good. I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies. So are there any recommendations for post-apocolyptic movies. I'll list the ones that I know of... Mad Max 1-3 The Quiet Earth Omega Man I am Legend Waterworld The Postman pretty much every Zombie movie Resident Evil:extinction the upcoming The Road the upcoming The Book of Eli Are there any others that I'm missing? |

Re: Post-apocolyptic movies
When a search only brings up an Avril Lavigne song, it's a good sign that a word is misspelled in the search terms.

Re: Post-apocolyptic movies
Pretty comprehensive lists but I would add "Rats" to this one. One of those "it's so bad, it might be good, no wait, it still sucks, or does it?" flicks.

Re: Post-apocolyptic movies
What was the first post-apocalyptic movie?
I'm pretty certain it was DELUGE (1933), a film made by RKO the same year as KING KONG and featuring great special effects showing a flood destroying New York City. The only existent print is dubbed in Italian. When I saw it at a theater in NYC in the 1990s, they had a translator explain what was happening as the film ran. Very odd experience. To be honest, I don't remember much about the film. 1950s post-apocalyptic movies: ROCKETSHIP X-M (1950) - offers an interesting twist on the theme, mixing it with interplanetary travel. FIVE (1951) Five people who are the only survivors of a nuclear war settle in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Directed by radio drama wizard Arch Oboler. CAPTIVE WOMEN (1952) - post-nuke New York/pretty cool for a low-budget film. THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955) - more survivors-in-a-house after a nuke war. This one adds a mutant. Directed by Roger Corman. THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND THE DEVIL (1959) - a black man (Harry Belafonte) and a white woman (Inger Stevens) set up chaste housekeeping in a deserted but wholly intact New York City. Then another guy, a white guy (Mel Ferrer) shows up and he wants the woman for himself and stalks Belafonte with a rifle through a deserted Times Square and Wall Street. Shot on location. Others: PANIC IN YEAR ZERO (1962) - Ray Milland directed and stars as a family man in California who takes up guns to protect his family and provisions during a post-nuke breakdown in the social order. THE OMEGA MAN (1972) - Charlton Heston in Los Angeles devastated by a biological plague and tormented by the plague's victims. The second film based on Richard Matheson's novel, "I Am Legend." (LAST MAN ON EARTH, 1964, was the first.) |

Re: Post-apocolyptic movies
"World Gone Wild" - kind of an obscure one, from the 1980s. Remember seeing it on HBO when I was a kid. Sort of a "Road Warrior" type of post-collapsed civilization movie that had Adam Ant in it.
As far as I know, it's unavailable on DVD, and might not even be a good movie, though it stuck in my mind all of these years for some reason. |
Re: Post-apocolyptic movies
This is probably my favorite sub-genre of film. I still remember being memorized by Road Warrior as a kid, and the movie is still amazing today. Some other films are:
City of Ember 12 Monkeys Escape from New York The Stand - Stephen King mini-series Serenity and Firefly |
