Season 8 of American Horror Story is themed “Apocalypse.” They drop the bomb in the first 10 minutes.
Last Night, a really good Canadian flick.
The 1998 Canadian film “Last Night” is actually a really good film. It starts with the premise that everybody has known for months that the world will end at a specific day and time but never bothers to mention exactly what the cause of the end is. Instead of focusing on the disaster aspect, it’s a pretty good look at how various people deal with life and death when you know there’s not going to be any tomorrow.
ETA: Dagnabbit, Larry.
It’s unclear if a nuclear war destroys the whole world at the end, but how about Miracle Mile?
How about The World’s End? There’s an alien-induced apocalypse at the end.
I* hate* it when that happens!
I randomly watched this a long time ago - it’s great. Thanks for reminding me of it.
The Coca-Cola Kid? 
The film’s closing epilogue states: “A week later . . . while cherries blossomed in Japan the next World War began”.
I assume it’s nuclear.
For my serious choice, I like The Omega Man. I always dreamed of being the last person alive.
Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
Hey according to the ramones the the would ended almost 40 years ago anyways …
This Is the End – Franco, Rogan, McBride and the rest of the gang get what’s coming to them.
Does a major cataclysm that fundamentally changes society, but doesn’t wipe out all of humanity and/or the planet, count?
How about the various versions of I Am Legend, where the species hasn’t quite been eliminated yet, but it’s inevitable within a few decades at most?
In Children of Men, things look pretty bleak. Although there is a ray of hope at the end.
Terrific film - highly recommended.
Which is about due for a new adaptation, I think.
This is what I came in to say, though I’ll offer that the destruction does happen on screen. It just happens at the very beginning.
I really enjoyed this one. Similar in concept to the also-mentioned Last Night, but These Final Hours has a bit more urgency to it.
A.I. (unless you count the robot archaeologists in the final as a sort of continuation of humankind).
Besides the extremely drawn out apocalypse of the Left Behind series, are there any decent religiously based end-of-the-world movies out there? Not talking about parody movies like This Is The End, but serious god/goddess/godthing Apocalypse Now! films.
It ended when you said goodbye. Just ask Skeeter Davis.
