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.

I just got done re-reading the novel "Warday", a fictional account of the aftermath of a Soviet-US exchange.  In the book, EMP destroys all electronics first.  Because of the proximity to the US, Mexico and Canada are pretty pissed, as they lost all electronics too.    Very sad stuff.  Makes you wonder how many nukes may be hidden and ready.      -Bruce D. There's a similarly-themed British film called "Threads" (circa 1984). Frank 1
