What movies best rep your vision of Post Apoc game setting?

[Atomic Ray]

That pretty much says it...I will provide a list of 20 with options for three choices...if you choose more than one it is assumed they are combined...if so please mention it below so we can all share

I could never list them all so if yours is not there, then please add it via posting

There is an interesting combo...

Logan's Run/THX-1138...sealed dome cities exist beyond the ruin of it all, population is controlled
Planet of the Apes...or dogs or rats or whatever
The Day After Tomorrow...the world's climate shifts and bad things happen

I like it!

I have lots of love for "A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell". One of Troma's finest movies, in my humble opinion. It had everything. Post-apocalyptic jungles, dinosaurs, women in fur bikinis ...

Also, while not post-apocalyptic movies strictly, I have two honourable mentions. Dr Who and the Daleks (the Hammer movie) is the reason I feel the need to put petrified forests in post-apocalyptic worlds. The Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150AD (another Hammer movie) just because it depicts London conquered by daleks, and does the dirty on Reading!

Of the listed ones, I picked Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run and Nausicaa. All classy, thoughtful sci-fi.

Other favorites:

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was originally a post-apocalyptic tale, with American "savages" quietly rebuilding their civilization enough to battle high-tech conquerors. The invaders lived in bubble cities, the rest of the war-ravaged continent had reverted to pristine wilderness. They didn't get into outer space until later in the saga.

The Genesis Survivor Gaiarth triology, sort of a cross between Komandi, Last Boy on Earth and a D&D/Gamma World campaign -- a boy raised by a robot soldier that survived the Last War becomes a hero as he strives to defeat The General, who is attempting to conquer the world's fragile new civilization with a robot army. Powerful electromagnetic gear stands in for "magic."

The Fog Mound trilogy -- in a world stuffed with ruined cities and artifacts but devoid of humans, talking animals struggle to discover what happened to the strange creatures who presumably created them.

I have not seen these two...I am on it!

Sounds like great stuff.

Unfortunately, Genesis Survivor Gaiarth seems to have been only released on VHS (which is how I saw it, rented from Hollywood Video, years ago). But, hey, it is cheap if you order the last copies now.

The Fog Mound trilogy is actually a book series which combines comic panels with prose. But it certainly is deserving of being brought to the screen by somebody. Try the first book, Travels of Thelonious, and see what you think.

I voted for Mad Max.

[Thoth Amon]

Hell Comes to Frogtown.

[Malcadon]

Not so much a movie, but this visual will do:



Yeah!
