Since the heavily hyped rapture ended up not happening today (Saturday, May 21st, 2011,) I decided to at least pretend like it did by watching a bunch of post-apocalyptic movies.
The only rules I set out for this are...
#1 - The film would would have to be one that I would want to see in the first place.
#2 - They would have to be available on Netflix streaming, and up until yesterday there was actually a category for this genre of movie.
Here's what I'll be viewing.
Carriers a 2009 film about four people fleeing a viral pandemic starring Star Trek's Chris Pine.

2012 This 2009 movie about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of it's survivors stars John Cusack and is directed by the king of disaster films, Roland Emmerich.
Legion When God loses faith in humankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner with the Archangel Michael.
Mad Max This 1979 film, which made Mel Gibson a star, is about a dystopic future Australia where a vicious biker gang murders a cop's family and makes his fight with them personal.
Water World Kevin Costner stars in this 1995 movie about a future where the polar ice caps have melted and most of Earth is underwater.
So, there you have it, my list of post-apocalyptic films. Maybe you'll celebrate judgement day by watching them as I will.
