Blade Runner - beaten-down ex-cop gets another shot at taking out runaway androids, nails the bad guys, gets the hot android girl, and blows out of town in the coolest geek car ever made. +1 on Darryl Hannah as a pleasure model, and Rutger Hauer as the uber-bad guy - bad-ass android with a philosophical bent - genius!
Apocalypse genre: I am Legend - OK, maybe this doesn't quite fit, but I just saw it and really liked it. It has a slow pace for much of the early part of the film. Will Smith is really good, very believable. Geeky (but ripped, hey he's got nothing better to do than work out) scientist-guy saves the world from mutant runaway virus. Darker than I thought it would be. 12 Monkeys - Whacked-out super-bug wipes out most of mankind, Bruce Willis gets shot back in time to find out how it happened. Brad Pitt as a psychotic animal-rights activist - genius! The Road Warrior: Post-apocalypse action movie. The geeky helicopter pilot makes it out with the band and the girl, while the flawed but heroic Max gets his ass kicked, but lives to fight another day, which leads to: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - More Max kicking ass, the return of pilot-guy (who again gets away), Tina Turner as the boss of Bartertown, and Master-Blaster as the pig-sh!t fueled electricity-generating town brain and enforcer in one package. Campy apocalypse films: Barb Wire - Pam Anderson in black leather and spiked heels, and a really fat dude who tries to kill her, among other ridiculous plot lines. Logan's Run- Trippy post-apocalypse chase/love movie. Planet of the Apes - Not the re-make, the original with Charlton Heston. Campy but fun: Barbarella - Jane Fonda was really, really hot when she was young Weird Science - Ditto for Kelly LeBrock. Unloved high-school computer geeks generate super-babe from computer program, wearing bras on their heads in the process. Anothy Michael-Hall may be a grown-up guy now, but back then he was a 98-pound weakling. Plus the crazy dude from the Road Warrior gets a cameo. Priceless. And just plain weird: Brazil - What a weird-ass film this is, even coming from the mind of Terry Gilliam. Robert DeNiro as a guerrilla-plumber - genius!
