Really enjoyed Blindness, highly recommend it.

Lets see this is my FAVORITE genre as well so here goes:

A boy and his dog

28 Days later and 28 Weeks later

Mad Max, all of them, of course #2 being my favorite.

TV Series Jericho, so few saw it and sadly only had 2 seasons, they had to rush season 2 because it was cancelled but they got so much blowback from fans and a awesome "nuts" campaign that it was finished up, kinda rushed though.

Shaun of the Dead! One of my all time favorite movies.

Stake Land, another gem that so many missed, a must see for apoc fans.

Escape from New York, classic and awesome.. Escape from LA half decent but still fun.

Reign of Fire was half decent, worth watching.

Hesitant to add it but it deals with the ending of the world, Dr. Strangelove one of my all time favorite movies.

The obvious Matrix, Terminator films, and all the " .... of the Dead" are I would assume already obvious and most people of this genre have seen them all.

Independence Day of course!

Contagion was a great movie, I love virus movies and this one was well done. Warning Sign and Outbreak were also great. Again not exactly on topic but Warning sign is a great scary movie with a isolated virus outbreak, has the feel of this genre though.

War of the Worlds 2005, I'm a sucker for this movie because I have been a huge fan of the London rock musical since I was a kid.

9 (2008) Absolutely loved the animation and the movie, highly recommended.

And finally 2 that shook me as a child, one is the ABC miniseries The day after 1983, scared me to death because then we actually were still in the cold war and this seemed possible. Very dated and not so amazing in viewing today but still fun to watch.

And finally the MUST see Threads from the UK done as a documentary of what would happen after a nuclear blast, from 1984. If there is one I'd recommend above all else is this gem that has not been seen by many in North America. Very depressing and for those of us over 35yrs old reminds us well of living in fear of nuclear destruction.
