Plenty of films fall into the "apocalyptic" realm, especially when there are so many ways the world could end! Zombies, viruses, aliens, climate change, and more zombies; despite the bleak subject matter, these movies entertained the heck out of us when it came to the inevitable apocalypse and the post-apocalyptic world we'll fight to survive in if Matthew McConaughey doesn't return from his Interstellar mission. In honor of Christopher Nolan's new spacetime epic, here are the ten best apocalyptic movies the human race would be proud to be remembered by.

'28 Days Later' (2002)
Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up in an abandoned hospital and wanders the desolate streets of London, bewildered as to what the heck happened while he was under. Turns out the "rage" virus has infected the population of Great Britain and the US Army has moved in to rescue the remaining few to help the country start over. All we can do is pray zombies don't move that quickly when we're the only uninfected humans left on earth. [Where to stream 28 Days Later]
9
'Dawn of the Dead' (1978)
In this George A. Romero staple, zombies rise from the dead and chase after a small group of uninfected humans hiding out in a shopping mall. You can bet they don't stay uninfected for long. [Where to stream Dawn of the Dead]

'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' (1956)
In this Don Siegel classic, the world ends from within! A doctor notices something is amiss among his friends and family when they becomes emotionless inhuman replicas of themselves. Alien life has invaded the planet, but not in the typical "Hey we're going to suck you up into our spaceship!" kind of way, but in the "Hey, we're going to take over being, muahaha!" kind of way. Eeep! [Where to stream Invasion of the Body Snatchers]

'This Is the End' (2013)
If alien monsters from the underworld are going to destroy all human life, we might as well have one last laugh. Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco, and just about every other current A-lister makes an appearance in this off-the-wall apocalyptic tale. Just one major plot hole: no way all of the Backstreet Boys would make it to heaven. A.J.'s beard was too sinful. [Where to stream This Is the End]
6
'Twelve Monkeys' (1995)
Soon to be a television series, Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys follows a felon (Bruce Willis) who's sent back in time to discover how a lethal man-made virus came to be. Also starring Madeline Stowe and a super young and wiry Brad Pitt. [Where to stream 12 Monkeys]
5
'I Am Legend' (2007)
Gasp! She listed this and not The Omega Man?! Sorry, The Omega Man is boring and Charlton Heston is already on this list twice. I Am Legend takes place in post-apocalyptic New York City after a virus, caused by cancer-curing drugs, spreads to the masses and turns them into alien-like creatures who huddle together in the dark and attack Will Smith and his poor dog. [Where to stream I Am Legend]
4
'Planet of the Apes' (1968)
Charlton Heston, cinematic savior of the human race, stars in the apocalyptic classic from director Franklin J. Schaffner. Astronauts crash on a random planet in the distant future, and it's run by a bunch of monkeys who take pleasure in locking up scantily clad humans in cages. [Where to stream Planet of the Apes]
3
'Soylent Green' (1973)
Charlton Heston stars in another post-apocalyptic tale, this one chronicling the lives of the strange, algae-eating population who feast on a mysterious substance called Soylent Green. It also offers one of the grossest twists in cinematic history. Too bad you have to wait until the very end. [Where to stream Soylent Green]
2
'The Day After Tomorrow' (2004)
I mean, if you had to be stuck in sub-zero temperatures indefinitely, who else would you want to be with than Jake Gyllenhaal? Not only will he tend to your flesh wounds when you have blood poisoning, but he'll also brace the cold and a pack of wild animals to get you medicine. [Where to stream The Day After Tomorrow]
1
'Snowpiercer' (2013)
This instant apocalyptic classic from Joon-ho Bong (The Host) is also one of the best movies of the year. After a climate-change experiment goes awry and forces the planet into an instant ice age, the remainder of the world's population boards the Snowpiercer, a massive train that continuously circles the globe. It seems like a miracle for mankind, until a vicious class system develops and the dwellers at the back of the train begin to push their way forward. [Where to stream Snowpiercer]
