A Smattering of Post Apocalypse Movies

Also, this is a pretty awesome list from Wikipedia of Post-Apocalyptic movies (not sure why the list above didn't include Wall-E, c'mon. The list is from a bigger post of dystopian films, which has a lot of cool categories. (1 Governmental/social; 2 Alien controlled dystopias (both governmental and societal); 3 Corporate based dystopias (nongovernmental); 4 Cyberpunk/techno; 5 Post-apocalyptic; 6 Miscellaneous)

Post-apocalyptic
Post-apocalyptic storylines take place in the aftermath of a disaster - typically nuclear holocaust, war, plague - that justifies a civilization's turn towards dystopian like behaviors. Although not a requisite, most post-apocalyptic visions have a man-made cause.
