So here is a sub-tread to the best flicks thread.

What are your favorite apocalyptic or post-apocalytic flicks.
And no points for the Mad-Max films. Everyone has seen those.

How many people have seen:
The Blood of Heroes?
A Boy and His Dog?
 
Blood of Heroes was cool,

I enjoyed the Postman and Water World.. but many people didn't so...

Hey didn't Patrick Swasey star in some post apocolyptic movie? Something "Steel" ?
 
Steel Dawn or Dirty Dancing?

Interesting thing about both a Boy and His Dog and The Blood of Heroes is that they both feature vaults or vault like complexes.

Anyone every seek Tankgirl?

On the Beach?
 
Tank Girl was pretty cool.

One of my guilty pleasures has been an old movie called Radioactive Dreams. Complete cheese, but fun cheese.
 
Call me a fan of post-apocalyptic monkey movies - I'd have to say the entire Planet of the Apes series(not the new one) and also Twelve Monkeys. Hell, let's throw in Logan's Run for good measure.
 
Planet of the Apes!

Damned, almost forgot.

"You blew it up, oh, damn you, you blew it all to hell"

God, I love those movies.

Good old Heston and his teeth
 
A Boy and His Dog is amazing. I really dig the fourth "Apes" film, too...what was it..."Conquest of the Planet of the Apes," I think.

Waterworld sucked...I remember going to see it on opening night and falling asleep. The Postman was good, but tooooooo looooooong....Tom Petty was really cool in it, though.

Did anyone watch "Deathlands" on SciFi? I tried to watch it, but I really hated the style in which it was shot...I felt like I was watching a crappily-acted Western on someones home 8mm camera.

that movie fkin sucked,

it had some wasteland titties, but they were small, and the woman was ugly.

Then the whole... Jesus thing at the end with him dying in the well spilling his pure blood into the water...

fkin lame man.
 
The omega man was based on a Richard Matheson story "I am Legend" which was also turned into a movie with VIncent Price, "The LAst Man on Earth."

A Boy and His Dog was orginally a Harlan Ellison story.

The Postman is also a book, I think by Philip Dick, but I am not sure. He also wrote the book for Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep).

Love the Apes, but hated the new version.

Thought the film of the Stand was a bit cheesey.

Thought Threads was great though.
 
Omega man

I have to admit that I loved the Omega man.

Charlton Heston, conservative republican, did some wild flicks in the 70s.

Planet of the Apes- about race, anti-nuclear war.
Omega Man- end of the world and he sleeps with an african-american girl- cool!
Soyvent Green- crooked cops and a world of corporate planned cannibalism because food is running out.

With you all the way on that one, Welsh! It was my old Literature teacher that showed our class Omega Man. Great Flick!

Also, i don't know if it qualifies as a conventional Post-Apocolyptic Movie, but 'Reign of Fire' was pretty cool.

Have you seen 28 Days Later? It has monkeys and virii too! :)

12 Monkeys = pwn
Planet of the Apes I & II = pwn
28 DL = rather pwn
Waterworld = sorta entertaining
Battlefield Earth = wack
Planet of the Apes III, IV, V = bleh


I'd really like to see A Boy and His Dog... :cry:
 
Nothing like the 80s B-movie classic:
Night of the comet

I also enjoyed: The day after .. that flick scared the shite out of me back in the day. If you truly want to see the effects of nuclear war on the human populace, there you go.

Akira (does anime count?)

I remember seeing an old sci-fi classic called: damnation alley (?).. it was all about the life after the bombs.. raiders, flesh eating cockroaches, evil weather, and the wasteland life..
I cant remember much else, it was long ago..

The postman was alright..
 
12 Monkeys is king, Gilliam is awesome.

Fist of the Northstar - Anime
The Vampire Hunter D series (not stressed, but some cool P.A. visuals)

28 Days Later was pretty good, but the ending was bunk.

Logan's Run!...not. this movie pretty much blew. I think it was set after a WWIII type dealio. You have to have a high camp tolerance to brave the entirety of this flick.
