Just like Parasite was a favorite film of 2019, Snowpiercer snagged a spot on my personal top ten list back in 2014. Vinnie MancusoĬast: Chris Evans, Song Kang Ho, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia SpencerĪt this point I should only have to tell you that Bong Joon Ho directed Snowpiercer and that should immediately bump it up to the top of your must-watch list. Watching Mad Max: Fury Road one time is the equivalent, heart rate-wise, of jumping a go-kart over a gorge, which is helpful when you can’t actually go outside.
Tom Hardy gets straight-up thrown around for the entire ride. Charlize Theron plays a one-armed warrior woman who batters a despot’s regime to pieces. George Miller, possibly insane director of the first three Mad Max films and also Happy Feet, just took a bunch of 18-wheelers and rally cars out into the desert and blew them up for real. But man, Fury Road is pure high-octane cathartic release. You might think it’s crazier than a chromed-out War Boy to call Mad Max: Fury Road-set in a future where the human race nuked itself to shit and the world is controlled by a brutal overlord-a “comfort watch” in these trying times. Writers: George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, Nico LathourisĬast: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Whiteley So peruse our list of the best apocalypse movies below, and get to preppin’. So this ranges from the extreme of Mad Max: Fury Road to a more subtly changed world (if we could’ve put The Leftovers on here, we would have).īut all of these films have something to say not just about the world we could be living in, but the one we’re living in now-pandemic or no. Our criteria for selecting “apocalypse” movies were films in which the world has gone through some sort of catastrophic event. But we can guarantee one thing: they’re all worth watching. These films may offer a glimpse at what’s ahead, they may be full of pointers for how to navigate society after a global catastrophe, and more often than not they’re an exaggerated look at what would happen if the world just went to hell. To that end, we here at Collider put our heads together to come up with the definitive list of the best apocalypse movies ever made. Just immerse themselves in cinema that reflects the world we’re living in right now, or one we’re heading towards. And while some may find that the kinds of movies they want to watch right now are comfort films or adventure movies-something to take their mind off the day-to-day-some may want to go the opposite direction. That’s not to say the world is ending, but a global pandemic will, uh, change how you think about things pretty quickly.
In these uncertain times, you may find yourself thinking about the apocalypse more often than usual.
