Meteors: "Melancholia"

A meteor is on a collision course with Earth -- again. This time, however, it can't be thwarted. No NASA space program can save us. We just have to prepare for the inevitable, but at least a depressed Kirsten Dunst is able to make the end a little easier for her sister and her son by just being there as Earth prepares for a collision course with another planet. Makes you want to call your family.

Viral pandemic: "Twelve Monkeys"

Bruce Willis is sent back from the future to try to isolate the cause of a pandemic that has caused most of civilization to live underground -- he won't be able to stop it, but maybe they can develop a cure or a vaccine. His time travel mechanism isn't perfect, so he's jolted around to different times, causing him to miss what the cause is until too late, but at least we get some wacky Brad Pitt along the way. Makes you want to get your flu shot.

Clive Owen is entrusted with protecting her and delivering her to some scientists trying to cure infertility, the Human Project. Her baby could be the hope of the future. Makes you want to procreate.

Religion: "The Rapture"

It's in the Book of Revelation -- the End of Days. Mimi Rogers goes from swinger to born-again Christian (with some help from David Duchovny), and believes God's judgment is coming. She goes to the desert to wait for the Second Coming, and growing impatient, kills her daughter and tries to kill herself. And then the Rapture actually happens, much to her dismay. Makes you want to pray.
