Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
I really enjoyed not seeing The Road. Since the great way to have a successful money making film is to not release it in a capacity in which people can actually see it.
best post- apoc movie

Does anime count? I know that there is opinion that anime=faggotry but Ergo Proxy is one of the best Post-Cyberpunk works I have ever seen.
Plot also has a bit resemblance to Blade Runner. Atmosphere and Plot are very good. For fans of post-apocalyptic genre this is almost a ''must seen''
It has around 26 eps.
Then as I said before Hardware (or M.A.R.K 13) is recommendable. Pretty good portrayal of Post-Apocalyptic future and even if plot is about killer robot the movie somehow finds a way to get it's own hidden message and some nice ideas into it. Great cult classic.
Somehow it is also considered as an adaption of Judge Dredd spin-off story.
Seguel ''Hardware 2 Ground Zero'' now is being made.

Two recent examples of films that seemed post-apocalyptic without being post-apocalyptic were Wristcutters: A Love Story and (believe it or not) The Soloist. They are both a blending bleakness of setting with screwed up people trying to find meaning or just cope. I know they aren't post-apocalyptic, but you could watch them and draw inspiration for something truly post-apocalyptic.

Well, you could say the same thing about films like "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" and other tragedies. They definitely don't come to mind when I think post-apocalyptic.

I agree that Ergo Proxy is great post-apocalyptic, it just takes several episodes before you really see the apocalypse that has occurred. Also one post-apocalyptic anime that I remember being pretty good, though probably not the best, is Origin: Spirits of the Past. The earth as we know it has been mostly decimated by highly aggressive plants taken over. I don't think it's been mentioned here yet.fishboil said:

It Wandered In From the Wastes
I once saw a movie on TV where this guy was fighting someone and he had one sleeved leather jacket that looked alot like the one from Fallout. No I don't mean Mad Max. I can't remember what i was but it looked post apocalyptic.
Escape from NewYork, Escape from LA, Mad max series (from what I have seen of them).
I have not seen it but the newest Terminator ovie must be considered post apocalyptic, right?

There's also a list on wikipedia that includes books too. I'm not sure if it is better than the one above... worth a look:

Sorted by genre and by means of achieving the end of the world....
Discovered i like zombie movies more than i thought. I had never given them too much credit, although i'd seen a lot of them, my favourite one, until recently, was Shaun of the Dead....

Happy Days?
Desolate landscape, no future, ultra-violent deaths, packs of sadistic gay raiders, phoney intrigues, a lone wanderer and even child killers... Could this be the ultimate FO3 movie ? Well, anyway, I've found it today on one of my old HD and I can honestly say, Fist of the North Star has all this ! And more ! 
[spoiler:5e38034e56]
Downtown DC, a 200year old fusion car just exploded back there.
The Potomac, no mirelurks in sight, time to swim.
Gnnnrr, I wantz to kill dat chiiiild !
Gimme yer wallet.
Bloody bloody-mess.
O Daddy, where art thou ?
Bloody mess, in VATS slo-mo this time.[/spoiler:5e38034e56]
I've seen Stalker mentionned, and even tough or because it's my favorite movie above all, I have a hard time seeing it as a post-apoc/sci-fi movie ; it uses both references (but no direct element, nothing is shown), but still evades both genre. But in the same category, and as an aesthetical disciple of Tarkovskij, Bela Tarr's Satantango is not half bad either, even if it's 8hours long. The desperate tale of desperate people in a desperately damp and rusted Hungary... Pretty much all of Tarr's movies are also good and in the mood.
Also in my mind this morning, the very effective and minimal french film Eden Log. A dark and vertical ascension through an infested and oddly guarded complex...

I saw it and really enjoyed it. It is very realistic and gut-wrenching, but still has moments of fun interspersed between the intensity.alec said:
Carriers looks great, but this is also a good example of why I don't watch trailers. They basically spoiled the entire movie including the main plot twist, so there's little point in watching it now. I'm starting to think American audiences hate surprises.

I agree. Spoilers in trailers are terrible. I have been muting/averting eyes from trailers for movies and shows that I have wanted to see for years. This is definitely a case where the marketing people have way too much leeway and care little about the viewing experience as long as it gets butts in the seats.victor said:
I longing think about how in the trailer for the original Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock basically just showed up on the screen and told audiences that the movie was scary, that they shouldn't show up in the middle of it (which was a more common practice back then), and that the movie was scary. That was the trailer. It didn't mention anything else.
Victor, sorry that the trailer spoiled it for you. I saw it after reading a somewhat vague synopsis, and even though I could tell where the movie was going, I still enjoyed it. Too bad you are not like my wife who is able to pretty much entirely forget some movies just by not seeing them for 6 months to 1 year (except for some things she has seen a multitude of times).
