I'm not really talking disaster movies, although I might be interested in those as well. I mean more like post-apocalyptic stories.

Just watched Zombieland and now Wall-E so I'm feeling I need more end of the world scenarios to watch

Children of Men and Mad Max: Fury Road are two of the best modern post-apocalyptic movies.

Dredd is a good movie and somewhat overlooked. It's more of an action movie where the post-apocalypse is just window dressing to set-up the oppressive police state. It also works as a companion to The Raid (which is not a post-apocalyptic movie but is worth watching).

I thought The Road was interesting but it's a hard watch and even a harder recommendation because the book is much better.

28 Days Later is a great watch if you're not tired of zombies.

Yeah, Mad Max/Children of Men/28 Days Later are kind of the big three

Book of Eli is pretty decent, even if it's not on that same level. I also liked Doomsday, although it was pretty flawed.

If you want something closer to Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead and This Is The End are both great apocalypse comedies

I'l throw in the new Planet of the Apes series if you want some decent world-building. But yup, the above are the big ones.

I also secretly enjoy Waterworld a lot.

Not sure how anyone hasn't mentioned the first three films in Romero's Dead series, but Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead are fantastic.

Snowpiercer is an excellent take on the genre.

Oh, the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead is great too.

The Girl with all the gifts is a pretty good underrated movie

Good recommendation. This movie has been on my backlog forever, and I was thinking about it after I posted. Maybe I'll watch it this week.

Snowpiercer is dumb and ugly. Interesting premise though.

I've already seen a number of these, although none of those "big 3" except the beginning of Mad Max. I might go back and watch that, I've had 28 Days Later waiting for me to watch it, and now I'll add Children of Men.

Waterworld certainly sounds like it would be made for me

I have the strangest soft spot for overlong post-apocalyptic Kevin Costner movies apparently because I totally forgot about The Postman, which I also love.

Waterworld is a great mindless movie. Children of Men was so boring I fell asleep halfway.
