An alien invasion, a virus infection, an asteroid about to hit the earth... However the end came or however the earth was saved, here is a list with some of the ultimate end-of-the-world movies. Only movies in which the plot revolves around the apocalyptic event count since we have another list for post-apocalyptic movies already.

There’s something strangely alluring about watching the aftermath of the apocalypse. Whether it’s the disquiet or desolation, there’s something inherently interesting about watching the expanses of nothingness and the scattered people within them... Only movies in which some kind of end-of-the-world event has presumably taken place on this list.
