The last movie I watched was "The Book of Eli." Although it did have an excessively religious overtone, I rather enjoyed the movie a lot. It didn't have the cliche pretty-boy white guy as the protagonist for one, and I also love the post apocalyptic environment. People abandoning their "civilized" morals and clinging to the most basic of instincts to survive. It's about as (realistically) dark as you can get, without a bunch of abstract theorizing on the thought processes of a serial killer or someone of equal mental perversion.
