Are you talking about 28 Days?

Tommo La 08-20-04 08:04 PM

No. its YEARS OLD (I think)??

not sure but it could be The Ultimate Warrior (1975) with Yul Brynner.

Holden might know what the movie is, but for now, I'd say that's your best guess.

Are those in ranked order Diablo? because Mad Max was a lot better than Resident Evil. Come to think of it, all those films are better than Resident Evil.

One of the best well known apocalyptic movies out there is the made-for-TV film The Day After. It's probably the most realistic look into what can (and may) happen in the event of an actual occurence.

I should of been more specific in explaining the ranking system. They were positioned to my own fashion.

I was a kid when I saw that one. Scared the crap out of me. I was numb for about a week. I'm sure if I saw it now I wouldn't think anything of it. But that's just a guess.

I saw an educational film here at college with the same name, 'The Day After'. Also quite chilling...

Sedai 08-21-04 12:49 PM

The film you are looking for may be A Boy and His Dog.

Also, there are already multiple threads on this subject, so please use the search function in the future. :)

And another thing. The word apocalypse has nothing to do with a nuclear catastrophe, and I keep seeing folks assume that it does. For the record:

Main Entry: apoc·a·lypse
Pronunciation: &-'pä-k&-"lips
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, revelation, Revelation, from Late Latin apocalypsis, from Greek apokalypsis, from apokalyptein to uncover, from apo- + kalyptein to cover -- more at HELL
1 a : one of the Jewish and Christian writings of 200 B.C. to A.D. 150 marked by pseudonymity, symbolic imagery, and the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom b capitalized : REVELATION 3
2 a : something viewed as a prophetic revelation b : ARMAGEDDON

:::::::::

Main Entry: Ar·ma·ged·don
Pronunciation: "är-m&-'ge-d&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek ArmageddOn, HarmagedOn, scene of the battle foretold in Revelations 16:14-16
1 a : the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil b : the battle taking place at Armageddon
2 : a usually vast decisive conflict or confrontation

As you can see, nuclear disaster is not mentioned anywhere in these definitions, although Armegeddon more closely dictates a decisive conflict, although nuclear weapons do not have to be involved at all to fit this definition. So, if the films you are looking for are post-nuclear, then I would check out the films listed by these other kind folks, as well as Hiroshima.

I am writing a trilogy of movies about this topic, but it also has angels in it.
