25 Best Post-Apocalyptic Movies

[squibber]

I love Post-Apocalyptic movies. I don't totally agree with this list.

The Matrix should be #1 followed by I am Legend and Zombieland.

Mad Max
Escape From New York
Eraserhead

What list?

What list?

[LennG]

If I had to name a few, my best #1 choice has to be the original

Planet of the Apes
Mad Max movies (any of the original ones)
12 Monkeys
Children of Men
The Road
The Matrix

Might also add WALL=E

I would add The Terminator series also, but really, that is not post but more a futuristic view.

1) The Terminator Blew me away when I first watched it
2) The Book of Eli (Denzel Washington is superb. Mila Kunis doesn't hurt...LOL)
3) Planet of the Apes (the original with Linda Harris as my teenage heart throb, "Nova")
4) Twelve Monkeys

The Omega Man with Charleton Heston isn't on the list but I really liked that movie.

Escape From LA over Escape From NY? That's sheer lunacy.

Planet of the Apes - yep.

12 Monkeys? Yep, forgot about that one. Directed by Monty Python's Terry Gilliam if I remember correctly.

Omega Man / I Am Legend - classics.

No one mentions The Book of Eli...maybe because it didn't get that much fanfare in the media. For post-apocalyptic, it's dang good...and I'm not a fan of that type of movie

I would put the of Dead movies on the list.

I am glad Len mentioned the Mad Max movies.

The original Planet of the Apes movies

The first few seasons of Walking Dead
