Apocalypse Movies – Kim Newman

The End of the World has always been a popular theme for movies and Newman displays a breathtaking range of knowledge on the subject from the cheapest B-movie to the grandest blockbuster, and including a vast array of non-English language cinema. Despite a slight tendency to overdo the lists, the book is engaging and interesting. I’d be interested in a new edition that might cover post-9/11 apocalypse movies such as the excellent Children of Men.
