S.N.U.B. The few survivors of a nuclear war are picked off one by one in a nuclear bunker. I should review that film some time just so you can see how nuts the officer in charge drives me.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Knowing (2009)
In the ending, the world gets destroyed and only a boy and a girl (and two bunnies) survive, in a weird religious themed scene. I've heard it's just propaganda for scientology but I'm not into that stuff to say for sure.

It starts pretty good, but at like half an hour in it goes downhill with no breaks. The idiotic ending with aliens is so bad that it will make you hate Nicholas Cage even more. The movie seriously looks as if three different people wrote the script and just smashed it together.

Favorites parts:
* A plane crashes, one survivor just runs away engulfed in flames, and Nicholas says "hey!" to him. I laughed for like five minutes after this.
* The cellphone that can't make a call because there's no signal yet the signal icon is to the top.
* The stones, a plot line that got abandoned halfway and never made any kind of sense.

A trainwreck of a movie.

Knowing, Invasion from Inner Earth, & End of the World (1977) come to mind.

No one mentioned DR. STRANGELOVE?

There could have been some survivors, but it doesn't seem likely.

The Martian Chronicles

Earth is destroyed in a nuclear war, most of humanity kinda breaks down after that, so there's no one really left to rebuild on Mars. If I remember the end right the main character moves to a Martian city with his family to become Martian.

Are we talking about movies where everyone's dead, or is it okay for a small group to survive? (Children, like in Knowing, two people like in End of the World?)

@Gabriel Knight - yeah, Knowing definitely makes this list. And it's an odd one, for sure. The symbolism of the chlidren with bunnies is really odd and unexplained - there are some Illuminati conspiracy type videos which suggest that Knowing is some kind of MK Ultra/Monarch/New World Order thing. It's just odd. I enjoyed it for the most part, until it got to the angels with rabbits thing. Then it made no sense at all.

Rabbits are a symbol of fertility.

There's a review in IMDB that makes pretty convincing conections with Scientology, and it wouldn't be very surprising since that cult has taken plenty of Hollywood stars already.
