The Day the Earth Stood Still (haven't seen the original but I liked Keanu's version)
Escape from New York and LA (more post-apocalyptic but I like 'em)
28 Days Later
There was another British apocalypse movie that came out around 2008 I think about a virus and someone built a giant wall to keep them in and they all kinda go crazy, can't think of the name of it to save my life but it was good.

your thinking of "THE VIRUS" i think

That movie was called Doomsday. Good enough but it had its flaws.

If you are looking for a awesome Apocalyptic movie I would suggest one I seen in my childhood called "The Day The Earth Caught Fire"

That movie still haunts me to this day.

Or if your looking for something more up-to-date I would give "Knowing" a go. Just to freak you out a wee bit more.

Really?

No one has brought up Mad Max yet?? Classic Post apocalyptic movie. Although I must admit , Mel Gibson has lost all credibility with me

Bruce Campbell in Mindwarp

Film Short of Kurt Vonnegut's 2081

Sean Connery in Zardoz

Harrison Ford in Blade Runner

Luke Wilson in Idiocracy

Matt Frewer Max Headroom: 20 minutes into the future

The day after, The happening......

To chime in with what TodoMedio said, this is my absolute favorite; The Road Warrior

For me there's no doubt about it: The Road.
www.imdb.com...

This is not a special effects blockbuster about the event itself.
It is mainly about a post-apocalyptic society of survivors in a world that continues to die.
There are pre-apocalypse flashbacks, and of the unspecified fiery event.

Then the landscape is bleak. The animals are dead.
The trees are falling over, and most food stocks have long been looted.
The only food is other people (some horrific cannibalism).

It's a bit like Waiting for Godot, but my goodness it haunts you afterwards.

Still it ends on a hopeful note, and I'm not sure how that hope can be sustained without food?

I like the knowing very much! It gets a little deeper beyond just the panic and destruction of life as we know it and I love it!

HMM ALRIGHT GUYS COOL.. funny how movies get flagged when there in teh right place >< thanks

That's "Doomsday"

Quantum Apocalypse

It was a tv movie and not a very good one,but it was fun watching it.In this movie you will see all the ATS doom theories in action.

Stonehenge Apocalypse
www.imdb.com...

Tv movie,quiet interesting concept,unfortunatelly bad production.

A Sound of Thunder
www.imdb.com...

The Core
www.imdb.com...

Armageddon
www.imdb.com...

A Boy and His Dog
www.imdb.com...

Reign of Fire
www.imdb.com...

I Am Legend
www.imdb.com...

The Omega Man
www.imdb.com...

The Last Man on Earth
www.imdb.com...

There's a new movie out called End of Animal.

Described as

Maybe the most striking debut in Korean film history, this pocket-sized apocalypse shows the day when electricity disappears and the road becomes a dog-eat-dog world.

and

Jo Sung-Hee's remarkable film reaches a heart of darkness that ordinary disaster movies cannot reach.

I haven't seen it yet but Korean films are quite often brilliant.

Personally, I thought the film version of "The Road" was boring as hell. It seemed so much better as a book.

Here are some of my favorites which are lesser known movies:

"The Quiet Earth"
"Miracle Mile"
"Night of the Living Dead" (The 1990 Remake)
"Night of the Comet"
"In the Mouth of Madness"
"Last Night"
"Save the Green Planet"
"Outpost"

Kinda post-apocalyptic, but I liked 'A boy and his dog' (1975). The ending of this film is classic, plus it was a major inspiration for the Fallout computer games.

'Sunshine' (2007) is good too, however it's not so much earth related.
www.imdb.com...

For something fun and weird, 'Knowing' (2009) was entertaining. I just hate Nick Cage. www.imdb.com...

alright ill check these ones out see if i could find one i like

[color=dodgerblue]I am a sucker for post apocalyptic movies..

These have been mentioned already.. but..

'The Road' and 'Children of Men' are must sees for sure.
