just found your channel and subscribed, your post apocalyptic movies part 1 ls what drew me in being a huge fan having 100s on dvd and blu ray from the 50s to now love b movies, good overview of the early movies, it is hard at times to know what fits in the genre as the lines blur a lot, great job on part one cant wait for part 2, cheers pedro
Thanks for this video … I am also interested in this genre and now have several new titles to check out. I did place an order for ‘The World, The Flesh and the Devil’ and it should arrive next week. Have you seen ‘On the Beach’ (1959)?
I have seen On The Beach, I own it on DVD. I specifically left it off the list as i found it more a "war" movie than an apocalyptic movie. I would also recommend checking out the mini series remake of On The Beach from 2001 from Russell Mulcahy, the director of Highlander.
The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) was wonderful. Why not a great film, Things to Come (1936)? That is a British film with a young Ralph Richardson and a GREAT film, based on a HG Wells novel. Arguably the greatest film of the genre, I feel, is On The Beach (1959). Overall, I have seen all of the films you had mentioned save the bedsitter. I agree that they are all good films.
I want channels like yours to succeed, so I have a minor critique: you sometimes forget cast members of the movies you’re talking about, so, you might consider getting a large whiteboard and writing down the main cast of every movie you are going to talk about. My memory is terrible, so I make sure I write down important things. You are doing MUCH better than I could, so it’s just a suggestion. I definitely like your list so far. I actually hadn’t heard of a few of those movies before, so I appreciate your work!
i know what you mean, I don't script my videos and just go off the top of my head which is why i forget a lot of names even though i do know them, i just can't get them out. Ive started pulling the films up on IMDB now while recording.
You forgot to mention a very much influential one, Things To Come,, 1936, based in HG Wells book, which is the first post war postapocaliptic movie and probably set the standard for the depiction of the "tribal" survivors.
Night of the Living Dead made the zombie apocalypse genre a thing for sure, but really, Last Man on Earth was the first zombie apocalypse film. Despite the creatures being referred to as vampires, they're much more similar to Romero's zombies than they are to the Count Dracula style vampire that was the standard movie portrayal at the time. Romero himself admitted NOTLD was pretty much directly inspired by I Am Legend - compare and its obvious the overall story arc of the two are very very similar.
I'm very interested in the subject, but sorry, you need to structure and script your content a lot more, and neglecting to mention Things To Come was a major oversight.
I saw one years ago that I've been trying to find again. Pretty sure it was British. Black and white. Looked like it was from the 50s or 60s. Set near a coast and I only remember there being a couple people total in it.
There's a 1952 movie called "Captive Women", which takes place hundreds of years after a nuclear war. There is a tribe of mutants who are Christians, and a tribe of normals who worship the Devil because they want nothing to do with the beliefs of the past.
Nice overview - thanks. I have several sci-fi movies on my playlists divided by decades. I tend to prefer non-horror sci-fi - or "utopian sci-fi" - but to each their own. As for post-apocalypse... have you seen "Krakatit"? Released in 1948, made in Czechoslovakia. As far as I can tell, it is the first (non-documentary) film, post nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Check it out. As for Hollywood, it made a docu-drama in 1947 about the making of the nuclear bomb: "The Beginning Or The End." Both films are available on UA-cam.
How are you talking about apocalyptic films and spending so much time talking about zombie trash (there's way, waayyy to much of it) and admitting you haven't seen The Bed Sitting Room? You're really, really missing out.
Constant "ummmm, ehhh, uhh, umm" Some creators have the talent to make content without a script... but not you,... the ceaseless stream of 'hems & haws' teeter between silly and annoying. I won't even comment on how many times you repeat yourself. If you think you sound more natural or conversational without a script... you don't, it comes off sounding lazy, poorly thought out and disorganized. Replace the cringe with a script.

Thanks man, really glad you liked the vid. I'm currently prepping Part 2.
I enjoyed that. Thanks 👍 Pedro. Great knowledge and a few films to check out.

@ Thanks again … I had no idea the mini series existed :)
Super interesting video as always
As vast as the library of post-apocalypse movies is, the pre-apocalypse library is a bottomless ocean.
-Captain Obvious, Film Critic
Thats such a good quote. haha
i just loved when he said "pre-apocalypse would just be like, normal day."
You should watch into the badlands it's amazing.
Great video

What about METROPOLIS 1927 and HG Wells THINGS TO COME 1936? I've always loved Post Apocalyptic films since I was a kid.
OMG you need to watch THE BED SITTING ROOM. Very bizarre film.
@@LeighSmith-r4b This is a classic British post apocalyptic movie.
I love 90% of movies but post-apocalyptic are some of my favorites.
"Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price. "Return of the Living Dead", "Day of the Triffids", "The World, The Flesh and the Devil."
You forgot to mention a very much influential one, Things To Come,, 1936, based in HG Wells book, which is the first post war postapocaliptic movie and probably set the standard for the depiction of the "tribal" survivors.
"pre-apocalyptic would, be just like, normal day." I don't know why, it hit me so amusingly.
Dana Andrews is a handsome man with black hair. He is pretty gorgeous. That woman Janet Munro is gorgeous too.
I realised my mistake afterwards. Haha.

Are you planning to cover GAS-S-S by Roger Corman?
Oddly enough, it's a comedy in this category.
I was planning on it but it's one Corman film thats completely passed me by.
Gass-ss-s has some good moments.
I like 'Things To Come' (1936)

Sounds like The Damned www.imdb.com/title/tt0056576/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_99

What about Things to Come?
Panic in year 0 is classic.
The World The Flesh and The Devil is New York not LA . The look of an empty NY is it's real strong point .
How are you talking about apocalyptic films and spending so much time talking about zombie trash (there's way, waayyy to much of it) and admitting you haven't seen The Bed Sitting Room? You're really, really missing out.
Panic is the better film
