I watched the movie version of On the Beach not too long ago, and shortly thereafter Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Both of these are takes on "we are all going to die, really truly, no reprieve." I find them more interesting as psychological studies than the "how to divert the asteroid that's going to kill us all" adventure stories.
