The original three Mad Max films are pretty good, I thought. They do need a warning that they are less good as far as treatment of female characters goes - Max's wife is famously fridged in the original film, and there are some scenes of sexual violence just to prove how nasty the baddies are. (Tina Turner's character in the third film, however, is an antagonist but is semi-sympathetic and not, as I remember, judged in a gendered way.)
