Cosy Catastrophe

I was using Wikipedia to learn more about the movie, Children of Men, among other things, and here are two things I have learned:

Michael Caine based his performance on John Lennon.

A "cosy catastrophe" is typically one in which civilisation as we know it comes to an end and everyone is killed except for a handful of survivors, who then set about rebuilding their version of civilisation.

Some notable Movies/Books with a cosy catastrophe theme:

1. Children of Men
2. Independence Day
3. The Chrysalids (I think)
4. War of the worlds
5. Signs
6. Outbreak
7. The Day After Tomorrrow
8. Armageddon
9. The Impact

Any movies to add on the list?
