Thematically appropriate viewing alongside TH

Just a few that might suit TH quite well, off the top of my head:

- The Andromeda Strain (1971)

- The Omega Man (1971)

- THX 1138 (1971)

- Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

- Capricorn One (1977)

- The Last Wave (1977)

- Dawn of the Dead (1978)

- Mad Max (1979)

- Day of the Dead (1985)

- The Quiet Earth (1985)

- Prince of Darkness (1987)

Any other worthy contenders I've missed?

Miracle Mile (1988)

The Hitcher

Some Fulci [The Beyond, City of the Living Dead]

Obvious one:

Deadly Harvest

Prince of Darkness is immense, It literally sweats a huge sense of dread/evil out of the screen. I really liked the radio signals from the future thing, one of those rare occasions where the science is still a bit silly, but makes for an interesting thought-provoking concept.

I'd like to see some stuff from the composer they cited in the Guardian interview.

"There are quite a few influences on this record. Carpenter is kind of an easy reference point for most people though I'd say the main ones would be Fabio Frizzi, John Harrison and Mark Isham. We're very much into grim 70s and 80s movie soundtracks so there are maybe nods to composers such as Stefano Mainetti, Riz Ortolani, Paul Giovanni, Wendy Carlos, even Michael Nyman."

Grave of the Fireflies, plus a bottle of pills and a shotgun

How could we forget:

Logan's Run

The Day After

Soylent Green

The Killings At Outpost Zeta

2001 seems fitting to me, for some reason. Especially the ending.

second - "the Hitcher" it's like practically an extended version of the reach for dead video. Good list and thread suggestion though. I'm going check those out.
