Technically, Wall-E should still count, they just destroyed the earth with candy wrappers and pizza boxes instead of bombs.

I'm not sure if they made a movie, but "Earth Abides" is a great post apocalyptic book.

Can't forget the Terminator series....but if you haven't seen those, you shouldn't still be alive.

Stayed up too late to watch the whole thing, but it was worth it. This is a low-budget film that does a great job with what it has. I didn't care for the end which felt abrubt but otherwise a good movie.
