On disaster movies

Warning - plot spoilers

Seems to have been a few on our telly or DVD recently, or as I type:

Volcano -LA in peril due to spurious geology, Tommy Lee Jones in uniform to save the day without the hassle of pursuing anyone over any badlands.

Last night - Day after Tomorrow - Ice age over the Northern hemisphere due to very spurious meteorology - Dennis Quaid unable to save the day but does save his son.

The Knowing - all life on earth destroyed by spurious solar science, Nick Cage and Aliens able to save the day for some members of the gifted and talented academy.

The Hithchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - whole earth destroyed, except Arthur Dent, Trillian, mice and dolphins, due to spurious bureaucracy. Class
