For biblical, there's The Rapture: hardly a special effect in the whole thing, but extremely creepy.
There are actually a zillion post-apocalyptic movies, because they can be cheap to make. Most are bad, of course. A surprising number are comedies or have some humorous elements. Some ideas that go back a few years:
A Boy and His Dog,
Night of the Comet,
Blade Runner (sort of)
Cherry 2000 (one of those cheap ones, for sure)
Reign of Fire (boring, but there it is)
Escape from New York (good)
Escape from LA (not so good)
The Bed Sitting Room (weird and British)
Day of the Triffids -- old, but worth it for the blind pilot trying to land an airliner.
