    I kinda liked The Day After Tomorrow. Book of Eli wasn't bad. I liked waterworld too, in a sci-f B movie kind of way....

    If you want good post apocalyptic fiction pick up a copy of "One Second After" by William Forstchen. It's a really well written book with a frighteningly realistic plot line. I actually picked up "Patriots" by James Wesley Rawles and found it a bit difficult to get through.

    Jericho was a good series although it has been cancelled. You can still find it on Netflix though. Another good series you can find on Netflix is from the BBC called Survivors. The Colony was a end of the world reality TV but I found some of the people on there (unfortunately most of the women) on that show highly annoying.

    Contagion was also a good end of humanity movie.

    I've got One Second After, I just haven't started reading it yet. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

    I tried watching The Colony, but couldn't get passed the first few episodes. I guess the fact that they were constantly being dealt one tragic blow after another, really ruined it for me. When that band of hooligans raided their camp to steal their stuff, I quit watching it. I believe, if I have a compound to protect, I shouldn't have to play nice simply because it's TV. If my family, food, and shelter are being threatened, there will be significant casualties from the approaching enemies.

    There's a really bad post-apocalyptic movie made in the 80s that I've been trying to recall the name of it. It's killing me lol. The basic plot: 'The Man" steals and controls all the world's water. A group of teens on rollerblades, no less, run away from a sort of refugee camp for kids and save the world with the help of an alien orb. If anyone recognizes the plot and knows the name, please let me know! xoxoxo!

    Not "Waterworld"?
    Definitely not "Waterworld." This movie was absolutely horrible (LOL)

    I agree...

    The Movie was called Solarbabies.

    I used to have the VHS!! lol!!

    Any movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    The Book of Eli.
    The Emberverse series, there's a show coming out loosely based on it.

    Postman was good too.

    Fallout series video games.
