I am by no means masochistic nor do I have a bunker full of spam, with the intention of out living everyone with out spam. (No you can't have any) But I do enjoy a good movie where everything goes to all hell. So today I took in three of my favorite sci-fi/survival/horror movies perfect for your own lazy Sunday.
First up is the definitive 1968 Zombie classic George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I've herd over and over people whining "I can't watch black and white movies" well if you can't watch movie than you just don't like movies period. If you have never seen this ultra classic, written and directed by the man who re-invigorated the zombie genre and is either directly responsible for, or inspires just about all today's zombie movies, please, please, please do yourself a favor and watch this movie.
Next up is Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men, Set in 2027 in a world where no babies have been born in over a decade. With people panicking and societies crumbling, Theo (Clive Owen) must escort the first pregnant woman to safety. An action packed epic with a great performance by Michael Caine.
Last we have one of my absolute favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time, 1973's Soylent Green. Superstar Charlton Heston plays a cop in 2022, where overpopulation has endangered the worlds food source. With a blockbuster performance by not only Heston, but Edward G. Robinson as well, if you've never seen Soylent Green you don't know Sci-Fi
