    Mad Max Series (Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome,) and Doomsday all work from that list.

    Soldier is listed, I guess it kind is close, but not really what you would be looking for.

    Soylent Green is a good movie, but again, not really an apocalypse setting. Same with Blade Runner, Brazil, Gattaca, etc...

    I guess Children of Men is somewhat of an apocalypse movie, given the plot. But I didn't find it to be that good.

    A lot of those movies portray more of a degradation of humanity then anything else.

    Dark Angel Season 1 is kind of a social/technological apocalypse.

    And between Escape from New York and Escape from LA, you will find Snake Plissken working hard to achieve the apocalypse.

    The Road is going to be coming out soon, and thats set in a post-nuclear world, so could easily fit your description.

    The End of Evangelion is a pretty good apocalyptic movie. Animated, and you'd have to watch the show to understand all the things in it. But, if you've seen Neon Genesis Evangelion, EoE makes everything make sense; actually resolves the show's plot and everything.
    But even if you haven't seen NGE, I still recommend seeing it.

    Yup, its about a man and his son travelling across America in a time where the whole structure of society has been destroyed - at least the book was.

    Yeah thats a pretty bleak one and I always forget it is part of the genre. I bet you just like Brad pitt tho

    My faves are Planet of the Apes (the second ends in apocalypse so it doubly counts) -the originals not the remake, it should be noted and Day of the Triffids. Anything with man-eating plants is a winner in my book. For disaster movies I have a curious affection for Deep Impact, perhaps because it was a good remedy for crap like Armageddon. The day after tommorow is less unbearable than most, too.

    It's not JUST Brad Pitt. It has Bruce Willis as well, you know...
    But all that aside it's a nice "ending of the world" movie. If such a thing exists in the first place.

    Oddly enough, the remake ended like how the book did.
    But the author of the original book also said that he liked how the 1968 film ended more than he liked his own book's ending.

    Yeah I think in the book the Apes had higher technology like satellites and things as well. The remake's ending didn't make sense to me really...

    It had a twofold purpose. If there was a sequel, it'd round out to be a cliffhanger; if no sequel was greenlit, it'd just be a wallbanger.
    Pretty much a big " you" to the audience, and they got away with it.

    Southland Tales



    One of the strangest films about the apocalypse that I've seen. Based on the Book of Revelations.
