[QUOTE=NanoSquid;25044410]The ending of Book of Eli made it my favorite.[/QUOTE] It was weird as shit.
A Boy and his Dog is awesome.
[QUOTE=magicman1234;25044467][B]The Road[/B] [IMG]http://www.wcmessenger.com/blogs/shelfspace/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/the-road-still-5.jpg[/IMG] This shit will make you cry.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it was pretty touching. Though, it would have been much better if it ended with the kid crying over his dad's corpse or something, instead of those people finding him. [editline]03:16PM[/editline] It might not have worked entirely with the themes of hope that are displayed in the boy, but for me, it would have been better. [editline]03:21PM[/editline] And also, admittedly, it would stave away from the ending of the book.
Not sure if we can call them post-apocalyptic but: The Matrix The Children of Men Terminator movies
I am legend is fucking nice
I like the actual "Apocalypse" movie the best, the Post-apcalyptic ones really all start to look the same. Grey skies, desert landscape, cannibals, bandits.

[QUOTE=usaokay;24988066]I am Legend. Just kidding, the ending sucked. The dog scene on the other hand...[/QUOTE] It should have stayed true to the book. I fucking LOVED the ending to it. Bloody fantastic. [sp]He wasn't the last man alive fighting against the monsters. He was the monster fighting against the normal populace. My god that was such a fucking good ending[/sp]

I really wonder why Hollywood takes out some of the best parts of a book.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse [editline]11:53PM[/editline] Just kidding.
Mad Max series for sure.
I hate every single one of the Mad Max movies.
And they hate you too.

The Book of Eli was good. So was The Road Warrior.
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;25049567]I know, it was just amazing with that epiphany at the end. I really wonder why Hollywood takes out some of the best parts of a book.[/QUOTE] Because the average joe likes it that way, and it makes money
Matrix
Tank Girl counts I guess.
Threads. Fuck, even bring up that movie makes me shiver
[QUOTE=Zambies!;25056792]Threads. Fuck, even bring up that movie makes me shiver[/QUOTE] That movie just..my. That has to be the most realistic post-apocalyptic movie out there, it just didn't get more serious than in that movie.
[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;24987993]A Boy and His Dog.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Dog#Plot[/URL] What the fuck? Who the hell comes up with this shit? He is a rapist and a cannibal and has a telepathic dog? Edit: Everyone on imdb praises that movie because they say it is very realistic as after the apocalypse all women will become sex object... what?
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;24991702]Am I the only one that was disappointed by Mad Max? After hearing people call it the grandfather of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 I decided to give it a shot. The series seemed to get progressively better, starting out from awful (Mad Max) to a decent post apocalyptic movie (Mad Max III.)[/QUOTE] Mad Max was a great action movie, but was during the apocolypse (not nuclear war, but global economies crumbling) The Road Warrior was the best in the series, by far Thunderdome was just awful, and is what you get when you take a great Aussie doomsday movie and let American studios produce a sequel. Campy, with American stars like Tina Turner...not to mention the Peter Pan-ish kids... [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/89Sunbird/stupid/pump6.jpg[/IMG]
A Boy and His Dog is a really post-apocalyptic flick. Pitch black humor and a talking dog. Did I mention the talking/telepathic dog? Oh, it appears I'm a bit late.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;25055824]Tank Girl counts I guess.[/QUOTE] That. Girls with tanks! That's more like it
Two short films: [B]Connected[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL7xIaYYS7I[/media] [B]When it Will Be Silent (כשיהיה דומם)[/B] [url]http://vimeo.com/10958541[/url]
[QUOTE=Zambies!;25056792]Threads. Fuck, even bring up that movie makes me shiver[/QUOTE]Oooh yeah Threads was pretty grim. That whole early 80's Civil Defence mood is just downright depressing.
the mad max trilogy was on amc last night.

The pretense didn't make much sense, and it had no real story. The movie was basically just a full 2 hours of watching a dad and his child in horrible squalor. If I'm going to have to watch horrible squalor, then there needs to be a story and there needs to be a solid pretense. [I]"Oh, random unnamed cataclysm! now watch this desaturated, arbitrarily-life-devoid wasteland become this family's torment!"[/I]
[quote=i broke the sun!;25044967]yeah, it was pretty touching.

The movie was excellent as well. You just don't understand its purpose.
