Oh, come on! With a title like that, how can you leave out "Warrior of the Lost World"?!
I mean, it's got the guy from The Paper Chase in it!
(I actually own the MST3K DVD of it. "Any fruit to declare?" 
)
ETA: Waterworld? aka "Fishtar"? Hell, it can't be any worse than The Postman, can it?
And is Blade Runner post-apocalyptic, or just dystopian film noir?
Oh, and what about The Stand (the miniseries)?
And don't forget Damnation Alley.

I like how they did this movie in black and white to give the stark feeling of the end.
The Bedford Incident
Another film that was done in black and white, but is not an actual apocalyptic. It is more a metaphor.

How about "The World, The Flesh, & The Devil" with Harry Belefonte?

Had to look this one up. I remember it now. Harry would throw his dirty dishes out the window and get fresh ones. They simply do not show these films anymore. Maybe on cable, but I do not have cable.

Dark Angel isn't in the post-apocalypse genre. The world of that verse continues, albeit in an overwhelming economic depression. Society is still holding together and there is a framework of law. Compare that to the 1st Mad Max film where society is falling apart and the framework of law is crumbling into nothing.
Add to the list:
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake)
(I'm curious to know which one people like better. It's a battle between the "cool CGI" types and the "Classic Film" types)
Also "The Road" is coming out on DVD. I'm curious about it. From what I gather so far, Vigo Mortinson lives in a remote section of the appalachian mountains and his remoteness somehow saves him from world destruction. From there he travels into the apocalypse with his 9 year old son who has never seen a larger world. The trailer looked like something out of Fallout. I've heard some very mixed reviews.
Chris....dude. Postman. For real? Postman and Waterworld are films you can't pay me to watch.

I did enjoy Logan's Run, but can't recall if it was post-apocalyptic or not.

Since Dark Angel occurs AFTER the Apocalypse aka The Pulse, this would be known as "POST-Apocalypse" for those needing a refresher. Hence it would fit in the post-apocalypse genre.
Perhaps you were thinking of Blade Runner as the one not fitting the post-apocalyse genre.
Or, by your logic, Planet of the Apes would not qualify because of the presence of law, society, order.
