It isn't post-apocalyptic, but I think Army of Darkness (Or possibly Evil Dead
2. 'Your characters are searching for shelter when they find a beat up old
cabin in the woods") could be inspiring. Yeah, I know, not creepy enough (AoD
I mean. Not Evil Dead 2), but those movies are so great they should be
inspiration for any and everything. 

Escape from New York.(Escape from L.A. was good too. But not AS good.) See
above excuse. (Although I think a lot of the stuff from there would work
pretty well.) 

Terminator and Terminator 2 are worth mentioning because of Denver. 

Actually, I've seen quite a few movies that really were post apocalyptic, it's
just that either a) I can't remember the title. or b) they were so terrible
that they aren't even worth mentioning. All you really have to do is check out
the Sci-Fi or Horror rack at the local video store and you should come up with
handfuls of B-movies. Although I think you're best bet for material is to look
for horror flicks dealing with radiation or mutants, and MAKE them post-
apocalyptic. 

Or watch Monster Vision and hope you get lucky.
