Thank you folks. Now I have a good list of movies I can look for.

Be sure and throw The Sound of Music in there because every time I've had to watch it I thought the world was gonna end.


Aside from that smart azz remark I like all of them list so far. I think The Road probably got me to thinking the most.

3 more for your list

Terminator Salvation
Reign of Fire
Doomsday

Carriers is one of my favs

 

[gerhard1]

The Stand,

World Without End,

Panic in Year Zero,

The Day After,

The Day the World Ended

These are the ones I would recommend. In fact PIYZ is almost a how-to manual about survival after a nuclear, presumably Soviet, attack.

The ones that I mentioned are all available on DVD.

Contagion hits the nail square on the head. For entertainment it's hard to beat Soylent Green staring Moses.

Arnold announced he is making another Terminator movie. I am guessing it will make your lists....

 

[SABOT]

Planet of the Apes

IDK, do the Matrix movies count? Not really apocalyptic, more like alternate reality.

Last Man on Earth
