A boy and his dog. (Don Johnson..... LONG before Miami Vice.)

 

The day after. (pretty damn good, although, not completely accurate.)

 

On the Beach. (based on the book of the same name by Nevil Schute. (or some such)

 

Damnation Alley. (cult movie, if you like 'action' style flicks, it wasn't so bad.)

 

Omega Man. (Charlton Heston) and the remake: I am Legend. (Will Smith.)

 

Threads. Aired on BBC. VERY good movie.

 

Wizards. (ok, 2 million years after a nuclear war.... REALLY post apocalyptic. :D)

-28 Days/Weeks Later

-Resident Evil Series

-Mad Max Series (Even I have yet to see those)

-Dawn of the Dead (I've only seen the newer one, but the 70's one is probably also worth checking out)

-The Matrix Series

-The Terminator Series

-Planet of the Apes Series (It's apocalyptic for humans)

-War of the Worlds (I've seen both: the 1953 one is the best but the 2005 one is still good)

 

That's just some of them.

rise of the dead, dawn of the dead, day of the dead originals and remakes and spinoffs, etc. not really post apocalyptic but zombies, and good, love watching them all.

 

also would like to endorse Book of Eli and the Resident Evil movies (i have all 3) I Am Legend also very very good (but what movie with Will Smith isnt?

 

City of Ember is one, but its like a Disney movie, so isnt as serious. kinda ok. watch only if you really wanna try to image the lore (like the lore outside of whats shown in the movie)

 

Cloverfield, not even post apocalyptic, but if you like those types of movies youll prolly enjoy it lol

 

The Matrix as mention is a very good trilogy and looking into the lore is very interesting. i would say get the Animatrix as well. its a colletion of anime shorts the explain different areas of the Matrix. very good if you liked the movies

 

Daybreakers was an ok movie. its about a world where vampires have taken over humans, similar to I am legend, but a different view of it.

 

Twelve Monkeys (Bruce Willis) post apocalyptic AND Sci fi (ish)

 

another movie thats not really post apocalyptic but something you might enjoy (again because you enjoy post apocalyptic movies) Surrogates (Bruce Willis) and Johnny Mnemonic (Keanu Reeves) like i said, not post apoc, but good movies to look into.

 

then theres the Crazies. was ok. more horror then zombie, but ya.

 

and critically acclaimed (albeit negatively) The Postman, with Kevin Costner. pretty cool movie actually even though it was a box office bomb.

 

oh and i cant forget Zombieland. good movie. funny. and Emma Stone. nuff said.

 

 

lol sorry for the long list, and the few movies that dont exactly match your criteria, i just went down my netflix list and looked for movies....i too was into a binge of straight up post apoc movies or alternate history or alternate future type of movies so i got a lot that dont really meet the post apoc but since thats what i was looking for, and i enjoyed those other mentioned movies, i thought i would mention them for the sake of it. i got a bunch more of great movies i would recommend, but i dont wanna keep putting off topic movies. :)
