Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind by Miyazaki is my very top post-apocalypse thing of all time. Joss Whedon's comic series Fray. I wish I could say either Dark Angel or Tank Girl, but I can't. Same feeling about Oryx and Crake - wish I liked it more than I did.
And of course, I think you can include Futurama as post-apocalyptic.
I think there should be a special publisher for post-apocalyptic poetry. There was that issue of quarrsiluni: http://qarrtsiluni.com/category/journaling-the-apocalypse/
But there's so much room for more!
 

Wow, Car Wars. That is a memory. You ever play the computer game? It was actually pretty engaging (for 1984 or 86 I think). There's another computer game modeled on the idea called Interstate 76. There's so many books but I think you hit all the best (New Sun, Canticle, I Am Legend) that come to my mind.
 

I forgot: The Matrix, Bladerunner and the book that inspired it, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
 

Kevin Prufer's "National Anthem" is a post-apocalyptic feeling volume of poems--and wonderful!!
 

Jeannine: Yeah, I thought of Futurama, but it really seems more catch-all to me. The post-apocalyptic episodes/milieus certainly have the right feel. Thanks for suggesting the Qarrtsiluni issue, I'll have to check that out.

Stuart: Never played the Car Wars PC game, but I did play Interstate 76. Oh, and Full Throttle is an excellent LucasArts adventure with a post-apocalypsish setting.

Kristin: I love National Anthem but hadn't really thought of them as post-apocalyptic poems. I'll have to give it another read.
 

Now I worry--what does it say about me, that I see apocalypse everywhere?

I returned to "National Anthem," just to be sure, and I still see it as largely post-apocalyptic.

A few examples:

"The Enormous Parachute" ("We eat scraps / from the refrigerators of those who fled in time")

"The War Dead," which could be post-apocalyptic, or any war (or perhaps the literature of war always veers towards apocalypse?)

"The Moon is Burning"

"Those Who Could Not Flee," "Apocalypse," "Landscape with Hospital and Empire"--yes, I stand by my claim of post-apocalyptic volume.

But I intend to read it again, on the lookout for other aspects.

Thanks for making my brain work!
 

Oh, I don't doubt it's there. It's just that the book's overall tone to me seemed more of a twilight/slow decline, so I hadn't considered the poems in a post-apocalyptic way.
 

"On the Beach" - movie, made in the early 1960's; haven't read the novel of the same name, by Neville Chute, that the movie was made from, but I hear it's good too)

"A Boy and His Dog" - movie, based on a longish story by Harlan Ellison

"1984" - the second movie version (made, or released, in 1984) based on Orwell's novel. Features John Hurt in the lead, and Richard Burton as the Interrogator (his last movie role). Filmed in the U.K.

"THX-1138" - early George Lukas movie, with early Robert Duval and Sean Young.

"Second Chance" - short story by Arthur C. Clarke; none of the characters in the story are human species.

Special three-movie Charlton Heston section:
1. "The Omega Man" - the earlier movie made from the same novel that "I Am Legend" was made from.

2. "Soylent Green" - besides Heston, also features Edward G. Robinson in his last movie role.

3. "Planet of the Apes" - again, the earlier version, with Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowell, and Kim Hunter.

"Zardoz" - movie featuring Sean Connery, made decades ago.

"Blade Runner"

"The Handmaid's Tale" - novel by Margaret Atwood. Maybe a more serious piece of work rather than "entertainment," though that might be said about other picks on the lists here too, so will go ahead and list this one.

"The Demon With the Glass Hand" - episode "The Outer Limits," the old original one from the 1960's, with Robert Culp and Elizabeth Montgomery. ("The Outer Limits" did a number of post-apocalypse episodes. This one particularly comes to mind.)

I'm not thinking of any post-apocalyptic poetry offhand. However, one time years ago I submitted some poems to a poetry magazine called American Goat, published out of a university somewhere in Texas. Several months went by with no word, then one day a poetry magazine showed up in the mail with two of the poems in it that I'd sent to American Goat. It turned out that between the time I sent the poems and the time I got the contributor copy (they'd never replied to say the poems were accepted), the editors had changed the name of the magazine to Apocalypse.
 

This is a great list and I want to go through it and watch/read/play everything on it that I haven't yet. (Which is most of it.)

I was thinking of this post today because there is a new Hawksley Workman song called "Stay Drunk and Keep Fucking," which I figure would be good advice for life after the apocalypse. And the lyrics even kinda fit:

Baby, baby, there ain't no hope for us
Baby, baby, there's no one left to trust
Baby, baby, I know they're lying to us
Only one thing left for us to do
Stay drunk and keep fucking

Baby, baby, the water's starting to rise
Baby, baby, everyone's got to die
Baby, baby, everything's got to fall
Only one thing I reckon we should do
Stay drunk and keep fucking
