Your favorite post-apocolyptic movie?

Fist of the Northstar / Hokuto no Ken.

But not the live action version. Oh dear god not the live action version.

There were two really sad things about the live action movie.

1) They really were trying very hard to do it right and just failed completely and horribly.

2) In the manga when Kenshiro would unleash one of his secret delayed horrible death attacks the Villian would usually say something on the lines of "Were you trying to tickle me?" just before his head would explode. The saddest thing about the live action movie was that when ken unleashed his famed hundred blow attack, it REALLY did look like he was trying to tickle the bad guy. (sob, sob)

Big fan of the genre, have to go with:

Planet of the Apes (the original)
Logan's Run
The Day After
Soylent Green (maybe there was no apocalypse- but there should've been)
Road Warrior

Ooooh...do you mean the Maiden song Quest for Fire? About the caveman tribe fighting dinosaurs and cannibals while looking for fire? Awesome

Nah, the film, although I'd like to see one based on the Somewhere in Time cover (even if its a ripoff of Deathlok!)

While were at it, some old Voivod covers were typical of the post apoc genre...

Mad Max. I enjoyed it when I was a youth. I found it has been one of the few movies from my youth that has passed the test of time, so to speak.

How are these post apocolyptic?

Unfortunately I can't remember the film's title, but I remember enjoying it a lot, so want to add it to the list. Maybe someone else remembers it:

Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth (presumably) where winds from terrible storms have scoured the entire surface, leaving only canyons to live in. The story follows a couple of characters, one who is a pilot (I believe) and who flies a glider through the canyon at some point, and another is a very distinquished English butler (I believe). Unfortunately most of my other memories are just of hazy scenes and enjoying the film. Anyone? (Not animated, for clarification.)

Night of the Comet!!!

Definately gets my vote too. Very cool film, and they are making a sequel with most of the original cast. Can't wait to see that.

Sounds like Slipstream - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098350/
Did it star Mark Hamill?

That would be none other than Slipstream , one I'd completely forgotten and actually enjoyed a great deal. Starring Bob Peck (the hunter from Jurassic Park) as a fugitive, Bill Paxton as the pilot who helps him and Mark Hamill as the bounty hunter chasing him. Lots of fun cameos by folks like Ben Kingsley and F. Murray Abraham, too. A very low key movie...it's got a few weak spots, but was suprisingly good, IMHO.
