What's your favorite Apocolypse/End of the World movie?

I think that's the nature of an "apocalypse." Can you imagine an apocalypse that makes the world a better place to live in?

I saw the movie as a kid and thought it very sad.

an apocalypse has many meanings. A world war and wasting of the nations by a war would be acceptable for Hollywood, so, finding its way back from the "evolutionary bottleneck" would be cool and entertaining.
Ok, maybe itd be a movie that goes strait to DVDr Netflix, Ill watch it.
Imagine learning all over how to split the Atom but there being some forced but unknown taboo against learning about science .

Something like a cross between Mad Max with 300.

For a philosophical apocalypse experience, I liked Donnie Darko.

No, it really doesn't.

That was pre-apocalyptic.

No one is going to mention Left Behind?

((((ha ha hahaha ha))))
Sorry. ((giggle))
My bad. (((ha ha oh...))) That suggestion Max should have ended up in the bad joke thread.
