Mine is a bit niche. Male anti hero protagonist revenge movies. Usually takes place in england. Always has a heavy criminal element, a good bit of violence and the lead usually dies in the end. Recent favorites include “Bull” “Avengment” and “Villan”. Not sure if this specific type of movie is a genre or not but there’s plenty of them.

      Was trying to figure out how to answer the question and you nailed it. Even had 2012 in mind. Armageddon is a favorite.

        just watched that with my wife not long ago.

        I completely forgot about the plot driven gravity on the asteroid and was rolling when they dukes of hazard’ed across the surface.

      I love apocalyptic movies. Ironically, not really the ones you listed. I more prefer bleak post apocalypse movies like “the road”, “light of my life” or “the book of eli”. Not that I dont like the ones you listed. I’d just more categorize them as blockbuster disaster movies. Like “the day after tomorrow”.

        oh I like those too.

        my favorite scene in day after tomorrow is when they fall through the glass ceiling into the mall. I always imagine how wild it would be to visit such a place decades after the event and everything is exactly where it was, perfectly frozen.
