Anyone help me with a movie?

Another vague one Im afraid as I can only remember one scene from it.

I think the film's about one man who's the last survivor on Earth (not sure what they all died of though), and the scene I remember is him being in the Washington DC area and him being in a sort of overgrown area (could be a park, forest or jungle) and in the distance you can see the skyline on DC with the Captiol Building and the Washington Monument overgrown with vines and other plants.

I'm pretty sure it was a cinema release and ont a TV movie. I thought it was The Omega Man with Charlton Heston, but it not because I've just bought that on DVD.

Sounds like Logan's Run.

Here's a screenshot. It's not very clear but gives you a good idea.

I agree about the Washington bit, but he wasn't the last man on Earth. He just escaped the city

Hmm looks like it is Logans Run that I saw. Not sure where I got the last man on Earth thing from. Maybe I'm getting two movies into one here, because I do remember a movie where there was one man left alive on Earth... It'd probably help if I wasn't so completely pants at remembering actors.

Peter Ustinov played the part of a man living alone in the ruins of Washington, so you could be getting the last man alive bit from that maybe.

I thought Logan's Run too, and it is abit like two movies. The bit you descibed is towards the end of the film, so don't watch it waiting for the part you mentioned or you will miss all the heavenly glory!
Stars Michael York and Jenny Agutter (if memory serves).

Could it be the Omega Man?

That's a good call, Omega Man was the first film based on I Am Legend and, if I may be so bold, beats the waste material out of the Will Smith version.
