Tomes and Talismans! "Mississippi Public Broadcasting's post-apocalyptic library science educational show from the mid-eighties. Learn all about the Dewey decimal system, card catalogues, and microfiche! And the fate of the Earth, of course."

The Road? I really liked the novel and I thought the film did about as good a job as could be done. Nobody talks about it or says anything other than "that was depressing" so I feel like I'm in the minority here.

I encoded this and have watched it over 130 times now (estimat).
Zette Sullivan. I cannot remember what happens during the movie, but the last scene looks like the last scene of the matrix 4. the rest of the movie is like a totally memorable blur. i am schizophrenic btw. there is aphoto of helen hunt on the fridge in the second scene, when jack death wakes up in his daughter's body as jo death. neat. helen hunt was in the earlier trancers series. she was also the star of grace under fire lol.
um, if anypone likes dystopian horror, in the context of the trancers series. maybe i can post more on this topic

Silent Running may be pretty much a one-man show but the fact that they are trying to preserve the world's environments in that way would suggest something bad had happened on earth. Not seen it in a while so not sure if taht is in fact directly stated.

Miracle Mile just out on Bluray.

I'd only recommend it if you want to appreciate it for schlocky absurdity and patriotic Americans solving things by punching a lot. I sort of enjoyed it but really didn't think it was in any way a good film.

"Songs from the Second Floor" and Don Hertzfeldt's "World of Tomorrow", both dystopian/pre-apocalyptic.
