Another favourite of mine is Dante's Peak, a 1997 flick about a volcanic eruption that's a fun ride.

Glad someone mentioned Dante's Peak. I would probably not enjoy it as much today but some scenes from that movie just stuck with me, mainly the part

Spoiler!
when the granny walks through acid to save the others. 

I enjoy quite a bit of disaster movies. They are always an entertaining ride, one just have to accept that things are a bit silly and not true to life in a lot of aspects.

Most disaster movies that include outer space are some I really like. Gravity and The Martian might not qualify since the disaster kind of only affects a few people. But I really like them and like to mention them nonetheless. I generally like disaster movies that involve fewer people instead of the whole world. Another movie I really like is Sully. These movies might better be described as part of the survival movie genre.

But my favorite is probably Armageddon. The premise is so stupid that I cannot help but love it.
