[I collect VHS tapes]

I've recently been binging apocalypse/pandemic/end of the world films. Just finished watching Greenland with Gerald Butler.



It reminded me of the 90s style disaster films I grew up watching. If you have a soft spot for those films, you'd probably enjoy it.

Anyone else been watching more of these films lately? Over this past weekend, I watched:

anyways, I'm open to some recommendations. Thinking of watching 12 Monkeys next as I've never seen it.

 

[Halo is Back]

Nah, but I do love a good apocalypse movie though

 

[MDSLKTR]

Wow there really is no 4k version of this

 

[J-Roderton]

I like Seeking A Friend For The End of The World.

 

[Halo is Back]

Wow there really is no 4k version of this

Man that was one of the most depressing movies I ever seen. Still good though.

Still need to watch this. Heard it's depressing af but great.

I like Seeking A Friend For The End of The World.

I also enjoyed this one.

I've been watching Olympus Has Fallen and episodes of 24. I can't wait to watch the USA tear itself apart on Wednesday, the whole country is fucked.

 

[docmindbender]

No but i did read Sweet Tooth (Jeff Lemire) comic series and loved it. Definitely in that vein.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

It's not the end of the world and we're nearly a year into the pandemic.

BTW, skip the last 5 minutes of Greenland, it's garbage!

Children of men, though dystopian rather than apocalyptic, is a great movie worth your time if you haven't seen it.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I am Legend get that movie OP big Will Smith post apocalyptic movie.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Funnily enough, no actually. The News has been that crazy that I have almost been getting my apocalypse fill just from watching that. The only movie I really watched because of Covid was Contagion. It was scary how accurate that movie was.

 

[Durask]

I like apocalypse movies but good ones are few and far between, too much low budget cheese.

Yeah, I watched it when it first came out and thought it was good. Definitely interesting on rewatch during the pandemic.

I've seen it. Great film.

 

[mekes]

Nah, I love a horror movie but that's a topic I can do without at the moment. I have been actively avoiding them.

I remember trying to watch Left Behind with Nicolas Cage. I didn't last long. I actually quite like Nic Cage but he picks some terrible films.

I really love The Day After Tomorrow but I'm not sure if it's a 'good' movie necessarily. I just remember it being really enjoyable. 2012 is decent for the disaster scenes, but a bit too long.

Where's Night of the Comet?!



And Last Man on Earth!?!?!



I didn't finish The Road because it was too depressing.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

That movie is for sure worth watching. Take my word for it. You should watch it alone for Brad Pitt's performance. He is truly amazing and unrecognisable in that film.

[King of Foxes]

[I collect VHS tapes]

[Deleted member 17706]

Prepping for the Great Reset?

Wow there really is no 4k version of this

Harrowing but gripping movie. I've only managed to watch it twice.

 

[showernota]

And Last Man on Earth!?!?!

This legit scared me as a kid lol

 

[King of Foxes]

is this the TV series? I've been wanting to watch this for quite some time

yup the one from 1994, all 6 hours of it

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

yup the one from 1994, all 6 hours of it

It's supposed to be pretty good, right?

 

[King of Foxes]

It's supposed to be pretty good, right?

i liked it, its pretty low buget but im also watching the new remake and 1994 version is a lot better.

also pretty close to the book

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Oops that was meant for the Recommended me a Disaster movie thread.

 

[kittoo]

Love and monsters got very good reviews and is pretty decent.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Last year I watched Twelve Monkeys and Escape from New York. Both terrific movies.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Love and monsters

I haven't heard about this, looks solid. That kid was very good in Maze Runner, I was thoroughly entertained by those movies. I didn't feel like I was the target audience and yet I still enjoyed them.
