Will Be Watching Apocalyptic Movies from the 17th - 21st - Any recommendations

Just watch 'The Road'. It will crush your soul. You will never want to survive the initial event of the end. Spoiler Alert: The only person with any sense in that movie was the mother. I didn't get out of bed the day after I watched that movie. It is fucked up.

Super Volcano

about yellowstone erupting. you can find it on youtube but pretty bad quality.

I heard the book is even worse. No thanks! That was probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen.

Amerika

Damnation Alley 1977

was OK for back then

Now if only they would get around to putting The Survivalist with Steve Railsback into dvd.

Big list.

I don't know it is posted. I am watching a movie now and skimming through.

Twilight

Now that is some fucked up doom

Take Shelter

One of the best end of days films is Last Night! Don't know if it was suggested but it has a real feeling to it.

Logan's Run


Planet Of The Apes ( real series not redux )


Repo Man ( not the remake...gotta have punk rock )


Countdown To Looking Glass


The Day After



Blood Sucking Freaks



Breaking Glass ( Hazel O'Conner )



Suburbia ( not the remake, the one from the 1980's )



Network

Logan's Run is a great movie!

Has no one seen Last Night?

THE HAPPENING A FUCKED UP MOVIE OF SHEER DOOM


and of course


THE MIST

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...

The happening sucked so much. Lamest doom movie.

Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles

OP make a list of the movies people are listing

Total Recall
Aliens 1 or 2 (don't bother with the others)

What about prometheus

Southland Tales
A very strange "comedy" about the end of the world with an amazing cast. I highly recomend this one. Oh and Motorama, its not apocalyptic exactly but it is definitly fringe.
I almost forgot, Akira is animated but well worth watching and quite apocalyptic.

Fahrenheit 451

2929

Only the book has real doom.

'SIGNS'

LOVE IT for pure awesome alien contact. always gives me the shivers.

the language they are speaking through the baby monitors is 'insectoid'. They depict the alien at the end pretty good but a real one of that species would be FAR too scary to put on film for the general public in mainstream film.

^^^ This. End of thread.

I can't believe someone recommended The Day After, which is a load of garbage compared to Threads, which came out the same year (1984). The acting is hammy, the special effects are Ed Wood terrible, it's pure crap compared to Threads, which is more realistic and gritty and down to Earth.. trust the Brits to do a proper job with a apocalypse movie compared to the cheesy way Americans do things.

Here's a link to the full film - [link to www.youtube.com] - I watched this after watching The Road (2009), and if you thought The Road was bleak and grim, well Threads makes The Road seem like The Notebook in comparison.

Awful to look through the list of movies recommended and they're all the usual crap Hollywood blockbusters.. c'mon GLP, we can do better than that, surely?
