The problem with apocalyptic media is that it is pretty easy to create as long as you have some good CGI. The stories petty much write themselves, you just have to choose your disaster. Hollywood is very aware of this, churning out meteor attacks, floods, ice-ages and most recently the earths core stopping and the sun dying. I'm sure the next wave will be even easier for Hollywood to make - the virus style (think bird-flu pandemic) movies. Now this site is dedicated to the post-apocalypse, and not normally concerned with the actual methods of apocalypse, but their bonds can't be denied.

Horizon - End Day is a well made Groundhog Day style programme from the BBC showing five different methods of apocalypse. The show is here in its entirety (55 minutes) for your enjoyment, and if you find yourself wanting more BBC apocalyptic drama see Threads posted here on the 9Th February.
