Top Ten Post-Apocalyptic Stories
Two points: 1) I’ve not seen Mad Max, or at least not recently enough to judge it, despite the fact that it (or at least its sequel) is considered the archetypal post-apocalyptic movie; 2) I’m specifically talking about post-apocalypse, rather than cataclysm (e.g. War of the Worlds, Dr. Strangelove) or dystopias (e.g. Blade Runner, Judge Dredd).
