I enjoyed "The Road" (book and film).
 
Didn't see it, but I believe the film"On the Beach" is in the same vein.

Another British film that used sci-fi to explore the collapse of civilization (as might have happened in a nuclear war), was Day of the Triffids, a film that is ripe for a remake.
 
But something that I hope is much better than the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds.

Hi-
  "Warday" is a good read.  More political and apocalyptical than sci-fi.  2 writers go cross-country in the aftermath of the event, gathering info and stories from the survivors.  California becomes its own country (almost).  Kind of like now, but more so. 
Seek out a used copy.

There's a similarly-themed British film called "Threads" (circa 1984). Frank 1
