    Truth. They've supposed been CGI'ing all the images in the movie to reflect NK.

    According to the LA Times, the filmmakers have decided to change the villains yet again. Instead of the Chinese, North Korean soldiers will now invade the U.S. in the Red Dawn remake. The switch was made in an effort to give the film greater box office appeal in China – which has become one of the most profitable markets for American movies.

    Around the time MGM first delayed the release of Red Dawn, a Chinese newspaper called the Global Times expressed concerns that the film would demonize their state and its citizens (thanks in part to certain leaked images from the set). Evidently, this may have been a factor in scaring off potential distributors who were apprehensive about what effect their involvement with the film would have on future dealings with China.

    So without any official complaints from the Chinese government, MGM will spend $1 million to construct a new opening sequence, re-edit several scenes, and digitally change Chinese symbols into Korean. It may sound somewhat ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that the studio really had no alternative. If the film fails to secure distribution, it could wind up going straight to video – or being permanently shelved.
    The filmmakers behind the long-delayed 'Red Dawn' remake have decided to switch the villains from Chinese to North Korean, in an effort to increase the film's box office potential in China.

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

    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.

    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.
