End of the society / wasteland movies?

[John -- '02 HAWK]

I've always had a special place in my heart for movies about the cities abandoned/end of society... 28 days later, i am legend, road warrior, etc... Anyone have some good recommendations? I'd like to find some more.

Carriers - not a lot of action, but I think its well done.
Doomsday

Waterworld - I always liked this movie
The Postman - another post-apocalyptic movie with Kevin Costner
The Stand - mini-series based on the Stephen King novel, not great but decent
Deep Impact - Only the end of the movie is real post-apocalyptic, but still one of my favorites.

I also have a weird affinity to post-apocalyptic movies and books. Something appealing about all of society being gutted and one person, or a handful of people left to pick themselves out of the ashes and make do.

Can't believe no one mentioned 12 Monkeys yet. WallE.

There was a TV show called Jericho that made it into
The second season before being cancelled. I think it's on Netflix streaming, I really liked it. There is also a current show called The Colony which is decent

Planet of the Apes, sort of fits in.

I love these movies too. if it is a movie about society being fucked, I am in.

The Terminator movies fit this I guess.
Ring of Fire

Equilibrium

A Boy and His Dog- AMAZINGLY great flick! I had forgotten about that. It was on Netflix streaming about a year ago.

From IMDB

A post-apocalyptic tale based on a novella by Harlan Ellison. A boy communicates telepathically with his dog as they scavenge for food and sex...

Searching for food and sex is EXACTLY what I would do.

Dude, that movie is good as hell. Go watch it.

Equilibrium

Very good as well, very Orwellian. And on that note, 1984 is a good one.

Logan's Run comes to mind.

The Last Man on Earth is the original screen adaptation of "I Am Legend" and follows the book very closely, and stars Vincent Price. Slow at times but I like it.

The Day After was a TV Movie about nuclear war that comes to mind.

Dr. Strangelove is a classic Nuclear War movie.

"From Justin to Kelly" not so post apocalyptic, but definitely signaled the end of society!

Doomsday
