The Ringer's Countdown of Postapocalyptic Movies From Least Survivable to Most Survivable

plus unranked hellscapes after #39...
"I watched 51 postapocalyptic movies over two weeks because they're all interesting, unique tests of the human psyche. The rules change after every movie apocalypse, & only those who learn and abide by them survive. The effects of nuclear war create scarcity across the board: food, water, clothes, shelter, companionship. All of the different ape, alien, demon, & dragon takeovers present unique challenges. I ranked every movie on a scale of 1-10 in two ways: 1) Just how horrible is the new dystopia? 2) How much am I specifically built for the new world? It's not a perfect system, nor a perfect list, but I tried to cover all bases. So let's count down these movies from most survivable to least. We've got nuclear war, climate change, zombies, infected people, nice cannibals, mean cannibals, apes, corn surpluses, aliens, demons, authoritarian governments, medieval knights, and idiots. Before another apocalypse, let the games begin." - theringer.com
