    Stranelove would have to be on the list.

    How about:

    The Omega Man
    Soylent Green
    The Day After
    12 Monkeys

    Maybe

    Failsafe
    Virus

      Give this a try. They've been playing it on Sundance Channel lately.

      LA JETEE
      directed by Chris Marker
      1962
      27 MINS, Color

      This renowned science-fiction short by French filmmaker Chris Marker (SANS SOLEIL) is widely regarded as one of world cinema's avant-garde masterpieces. A "photo-novel" told almost entirely in still images, LA JETEE relates a time-travel story in which a survivor from a ruined future returns to the past to circumvent a world catastrophe. (The story was later adapted by Terry Gilliam for his film TWELVE MONKEYS.) Hailed as everything from a meditation on the power of images and the most poetic film ever made to a precursor of modern cyberpunk. TVPG (AC) Stereo/BW/Letterbox

    Mad Max, the original Mad Max(though its the second in the series), not "The Road Warrior" and not "Beyond the Thunderdome."
    Planet of the Apes(Charleton Heston Version)
    12 Monkeys
    Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
    *28 Days Later (I consider it "Apocalyptic")
    *Tank Girl(that one is just funny)
    *6-String Samurai(what you get when you cross Snake Pliskin with Buddy Holly with a Zatoichi)
    The Stand
