The List: Top 20 Movies About the End of the World

15. Soylent Green (1973) - In 2022, a major corporation turns human corpses into snackable wafers. Hitting the Costco dry goods isle now wouldn’t be the worst idea.

14. The Omega Man (1971) - Charlton Heston grimaces, drives, and drinks his way through his own version of I Am Legend. He improvised the Jesus ending, but the director cut out his eighty minute “I’m Jesus, Goddamn it!” soliloquy.

13. Waterworld (1995) - Kevin Costner faces off with a one-eyed Dennis Hopper in a world without dry land.  But, there are plenty of great places to jet ski and a cool new contraption that lets you drink your own pee.

12. Akira (1988) - A Japanimation film about a secret military group that created a psychic psychopath. I think the Simpsons did this already and it involved Dionne Warwick.

11. Mad Max (1979) -  An enraged Aussie disrupts the highway as a cop does his best to lay down the law only to be accused of causing all the wars, oops that’s not a movie that’s just Mad Mel.
