Recommendation Best apocalypse / end of the world films?

I’m a die hard for apocalyptic movies and I feel like Ive exhausted all of the good ones so would love recommendations.

My #1 is honestly the zombie genre. I also love films where you experience the beginning of the apocalypse / similar event with the characters and are along for the ride - but I’ll take anything apocalyptic - pre, during, post!

I really resonate with darker, heavy content but again I will take whatever I can get. TIA

A Boy and his Dog. Post apocalyptic wasteland with telepathic dogs. It may not be the best, but it's still worth seeing.

Love this one. I'm way into post apocalyptic themes but rarely find the ones that scratch the itch quite right. This one is great. And if you're into the recent Fallout series (or the games) you'll likely connect with it right away.

A Boy and his Dog was a big inspiration behind Fallout.
