Well I am writing this on May 21, 2011 the day that Harold Camping predicted the rapture would happen. So, in case I am raptured today I wanted to help everyone left behind by listing the Top 5 post-apocalyptic movies they should watch in their post-apocalyptic world. If it doesn’t happen then just consider the list as an interesting look at what the future may hold.
1. Children of Men-A great movie that deals with life after women stop having children. Great psychological drama different the most post-apocalyptic movies since death happens slowly and not all at one time.
2. The Stand-I don’t usually include TV miniseries on my lists but this is an exception. It is a great movie adaption of the Stephen King book. About a virus that kills off almost everyone in the world people have dreams either about an angel or a devil and sets up an epic battle between good and evil. At over 6 hours long I figure in a post-apocalyptic world you will have plenty of time between the looting to watch it.
3. 28 Days Later- Another movie about a virus that kills almost everyone. This virus turns everyone into zombies that start killing other people.
4. The Road Warrior- The second Mad Max movie and one that started a whole world of rip off. The movie had Mel Gibson (in one of his early movies) wondering around a desert wasteland looking for gas and water.
5. 12 Monkeys- Apparently I like movies that deal with a virus wiping out the earth. This one deals with a virus and time travel. A man has to go back in time to prevent a terrorist attack that releases a virus that will wipe out a large population and force the rest of the population to live underground. Sounds convoluted but it has great performances by Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis.
