I have heard a little bit about movies like "What a Way to Go" and "The End of Suburbia" which, based on what I've heard, are dramatizations of life after Peak Oil. I look forward to viewing these. Until then, I highly recommend the ABC's documentary about Peak Oil, named "CRUDE", that presents the facts in a straightforward way in terms that should make the point clear to most of us. It does get a bit technical at times, but this does not get in the way of the overall message that is out there to be read if we are willing to keep our head out of the sand. It can be viewed online at ABC Video on Demand at the following site:

The interesting short term aspect was about petrol prices...you've seen it double or triple in the last 5 or 10 years...wait for it to increase 10x...
The video runs in three parts and is about 1.5 hours, with bonus interviews with some of the main players. The one with Sonia Shah is quite meaningful.
Peace,
