In addition to obvious ones like the Mad Max films, there are some truly excellent pictures like Children of Men, Snowpiercer, 12 Monkeys, the original Planet of the Apes film and all three of the modern remakes, The Road, and perhaps the best of them all Wall*E.

Wall-E, The Matrix and Snowpiercer are probably the best.

By the way, while it's not post apocalyptic, my high school art teacher had us watch Blade Runner. In class. Uncensored. (Even after getting a BFA, my high school teacher was the most influential on me throughout my whole art career, still to this day. He taught me to see differently.)

We started with Mad Max: Fury Road. She gave it a "10/10 but only for Furiosa". She did agree the visuals were "crazy and amazing". We might go with something a little "less" this weekend.
