My favorites are Dawn of the Dead (1978), The Road Warrior, Escape from New York, and The Road.

Shaun · Answer

The Road was very good kind of newer one it stars the guy who plays Aragorn in Lord of the rings.

If you like anime there is a few.
Wolfs Rain- one of my favorites.
Cowboy Bebop- not exactly post apocalypse but in the future where the earth is just kind of a wasteland.
Cashern Sins- Robots rule the earth, there is very few humans left, story centers around this one android guy.

Gerry · Answer

Enemy At The Gates

Simply tragic and looks to be the genre you are searching for ~ a great film but for one flaw that I won't point out here - most people miss it.
