Besides DAWN OF THE DEAD, the best movie Romero made in my opinion.
ROLLERBALL
Another perfect movie from the ’70s: ROLLERBALL starring James Caan. What a great movie, Brave New World meets Gladiator. Somehow though I don’t think the corporate superstate is going to be as benevolent as it is in the film, asking for obedience in exchange for peace and plenty; the real corporate state will impoverish the majority and enrich a tiny elite while also requiring obedience.
THE OMEGA MAN
Now THIS is more like it. More 1970s Charlton Heston apocalyptic goodness: OMEGA MAN, where we all die from germ warfare.
SOYLENT GREEN
SOYLENT GREEN is just as good now as it was in 1973 and if you never seen it, boy are you in for an experience. Environmental collapse is my least favorite form of apocalypse (as a writer of apocalyptic fiction), probably because it’s the one that’s most likely to actually kill us all.

Zombie Movie: SIEGE OF THE DEAD (RAMMBOCK)
Just watched SIEGE OF THE DEAD (not to be confused with another movie of the same title from 2001; the one I saw was originally titled RAMMBOCK, and was made in Germany) and have to say it was a good movie, character driven and not your usual fare.
