Book of Eli, Road Warrior (series), The Day After, A Boy and His Dog, etc, etc.

Do you have a favorite post-apocalyptic book, movie, or show (excluding zombies on this one)?

I like the movie The Road (although a few scenes are a little over-the-top), and also the book "Patriots".

What about you?

    Does "I am Legend" count in the zombie category?
    I'm really trying to think of other movies that fit this category but I haven't seen too many.

    Book of Eli. Even though I seem to be the only one of my friends that likes it.

    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!

    The Day After scared the *kitten* out of me! I was about 13 when that movie came out and all you heard about was nuclear war. Most of the schools that I went to up that point were designated fall out shelters. A portion of the movie was filmed 3 blocks from home at a hospital under demolition. I watched movie one time and that was all it took!

    I love just about any apacolyptic or post movie, although I think the Road warrior series is sooooo dumb! I am a nut for apacolyptic movies I REALLY LOVE the show on AMC The Walking Dead LOVE, LOVE,LOVE it! Also really liked Jericho until they took it off.
