There is a new Will Smith film out next year " I am legend" that looks like it could be a good post apocalyptic film.

A boy and his dog.

Its what the fallout games are based on. the character Vic, in fallout 2, is the boy in the movie, also you get have the dog in the first game, called dogmeat.

Its very old, but its quite good, i just watched it recently

ORIGINAL: alijay034

The book is a great vampire tale. It was made into the Omega Man with Charlton Heston in the 70' s but that was a bit crap.

It' s really ironic Will Smith is playing a Heston role though

Here are some others.
. Robocop Series

Does Nostadamus Count, after watching that you will believe that you already are in a post apol future.

I agree and would recommend watching the day after tomorrow


Akira (Duh!)
Escape from L.A.
Escape from New York
Tank Girl (LOL)


good P.A. movies I probably saw akira and Tank Girl as the 1st 2 anime respectively over 10 yrs ago.
