End of the society / wasteland movies?

Equilibrium

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

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

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

The stand.

Always freaked me out when I was a kid

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.

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

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

If you have not seen "the road" go get it soon.

Escape from New York/LA?

Old school one- Omega Man (I think 'I am Legend' was a close remake of the Charlton Heston classic)

I Am Legend was a book, then made into a movie a few times (Omega Man was based on it). The book was awesome, neither the Will Smith Legend nor Omega Man came close.

Old school one- Omega Man (I think 'I am Legend' was a close remake of the Charlton Heston classic)

I Am Legend was the Novella that Omega Man and its sequels were made from. The new I Am Legend was just another schlocky Will Smith Vehicle.

A Boy and His Dog
The Blood of Heroes
Lord of the Flies

This site has a bunch listed though most I have never heard of. Should be able to find some pretty good lesser-known stuff.
