[phantomstranger]

I'm going to have to go with:

1.Escape From New York
2.Planet Of The Apes (original)
3. Road Warrior
4. and just for a laugh:Night Of The Comet

-> laughing my ass off at Bronx Warriors, etc ..

Those were the films that made me aware of Italian shlock cinema !

Although leaders in the Horror field at one time the italians loved to rip off well known american cult films .. especially Escape From the Bronx. - a complete rip off of Escape From New York.

I havent seen them in years (although i have them on Beta) but if memory serves .. Escape from the Bronx actually had some guy playing drums outside ... in a direct reference to the precussion music playing when the Duke's car first appeared in Escape from New York ...

Stuff that blantant kills me :)

As far as the thread goes .. I'm all over A Boy and His Dog ..
Always loved that film.

I don't think Omega Man's ever been topped in the post-apocalyptic category. Charlton Heston was awesome. Wasn't it based on I Am Legend?

Is anyone a fan of this horror/sci-fi subgenre?

One of my favourites is the movie “Mindwarp” as its stars both Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm)

mine would have to be dawn of the dead or 28 days later

There was a previous version of the Movie called The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price ..
