Another genre I was crazy about as a kid!
My favorite is the obvious:

What's yours??

That would have been one of mine but I hate the actor now, so retrospectively dislike the movie.

This is a great one, from my homeland- you probably haven't seen it.
Lots of great reviews and a bit of a sleeper:

And this one... of course.

Ah the Road Warrior. I still remember seeing the news coverage of the opening in Hollywood. They had wreckage of destroyed vehicles out in front of Mann's Chinese Theater.

Last of the V-8 Interceptors, be a shame to blow it up.

Didn't every 80's post apoc film spring from MM2?

Escape from New York comes to mind

I've never seen "The Quiet Earth" and now I'm intrigued! Thanks BT!

Yeah, Escape from New York.

Is it post-apoclyptic or merely dystopian?

The Quiet Earth was a good choice too.

This is earlier than 80s, but my 9 year old self loved it: Damnation Alley
