Equilibrium is one of my favorite movies. For anyone who enjoys action movies with a fun sci-fi twist, it is a definite must watch.

Tank Girl! That was my favorite movie when I was 16! I assume it actually sucked, I haven't watched it in about 15 years.

Delicatessan and City of Lost Children, by Jean Pierre Jeunet (famous for Amelie) are two of my favorites from the list that Flabbibulin posted. I'm not sure how legitimately post-apocalyptic they are, though.

Slated to be remade, since nobody can come up with an original idea anymore. Kosinski (who directed the Tron remake, and has also been attached to a Black Hole remake) was supposed to be directing it, though I see he's no longer involved.

edit: I meant to mention, the original is actually pretty fun in a cheesy sort of way.

I'm just here for the gasoline.

I still occasionally use that line, I even throw on the thick Aussie accent on the gasoline part. I've only ever not gotten a dirty look from it once. It was a good day.

- I am Legend / Omega Man?
- Zombieland
- Total Recall (either one)?

As far as TV series, you may enjoy some of the episodes of the relaunch of The Outer Limits (1995-2001).

Does it have to Post-Apocalyptic? Or can we open it up into other Dystopian Films? If we can, Blade Runner!!!!

I don't think anyone was debating better, I thought we were just listing movies...

I always thought that one was ripe for a remake. Great premise. But good lord does it look dated now.

Yeah, don't limit it to the last ~20 years or so.

I don't know if they are necessarily "post apocalyptic", maybe "dystopian" or some fancy word, but...

Escape From New York
Blade Runner
A Clockwork Orange

Are all good movies.

There are plenty of Zombie movies from the 70's and 80's that, sort of, invented the whole staggering zombie tropes (another fancy word I might have wrong) that we see now.

Rightly or wrongly I always lump post-apocalyptic movies in with Dystopian anyways.

Serenity and Minority Report should get some love.

I always watched the Total Recall remake and really enjoyed it. Not a great movie by any stretch but fun to watch. I loved the tech throughout the movie, thought that did a great job there. Plenty o lens flare though... oh bother.
