Planet of the Apes
Best twist ending ever.
Wall-E
Robots find love. Humans get fat. That sound about right.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The world ends on a Thursday.
Any Resident Evil
As long as Alice is there to protect us.
Dr. Strangelove
Stanley Kubrick's still hilarious look at atom bomb fears. We really need to just stop worrying about it.
The Terminator
"Skynet" spelled backwards is "Facebook."
That's totally not true, but it sounds scary, right?
The Road Warrior
The world as we know it is over, but Mel Gibson lives on.
The Road
Unfortunately for all of us, this gritty bare-boned story of a man and his son feels the most realistic.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Earth is doomed but Steve Carell finds love at last. And with Keira Knightley! Woot!
Oblivion
We have no idea if this 2013 Tom Cruise movie will be great, but it sure looks cool.
Night of the Comet
An '80s cult favorite. Apocalypse in the Valley, dude. Radical!
I Am Legend
Will Smith is the last man on Earth.
The Omega Man
Wait, but so is Charlton Heston.
Knowing
The aliens are coming for your children! Nic Cage knows it.
The Rapture
Turns out God does hold grudges.
Dawn of the Dead
End of world. Malls still open. Zombies wanted.
Melancholia
Most depressing End of Days film ever.
Zombieland
This film already got one thing right: In the future, Twinkies are most precious!
Children of Men
No nuclear war, no zombies. The End of Days comes with mankind losing the ability to reproduce. One of the best.
Cloverfield
Would love to see that monster a little better before The End, though.
Shaun of the Dead
Things are never that bad as long your BFF is undead. The funniest movie on the list.
Left Behind
Kirk Cameron. Low budget. Entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
12 Monkeys
Terry Gilliam's loose remake of La Jete foresaw global warming. Brad Pitt's germ speech the highlight.
28 Days Later
Zombies. Can Run. Fast. Uh oh.
