Earth Day Horror Movies - Holiday Horror Movies Guide

Earth Day is around the corner kiddies and what better way is there to celebrate the Earth than to watch it be destroyed. While these movies are not considered straight-up horror movies, they are disaster movies... and we love those. It is horror on a large scale, and I can't imagine a more horrible fate for us all than to have the world end, or to have a Milli Vanilli reunion tour. So style up with some hairspray, crank up that old '69 Impala and head down to the rental store for these Earth Day recommendations.

Earth Day Horror Movies Armageddon (1998)
As a massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth, NASA head honcho Dan Truman hatches a plan to split the deadly rock in two before it annihilates the entire planet, calling on Harry Stamper -- the world's finest oil driller -- to head up the mission. With time rapidly running out, Stamper assembles a crack team and blasts off into space to attempt the treacherous task. Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler co-star.

Meanwhile, an enterprising reporter uses her smarts to uncover the scoop of the century.

Here are a few other disaster movies you might enjoy on Earth Day. While they do not necessarily have a horror theme, they are good disaster movies involving natural disasters or aliens helbent on destruction of our planet... and they are worth a viewing.
Independence Day (1996)
When aliens in enormous spacecraft suddenly arrive in Earth's atmosphere and start blowing things up, it falls to a cocky pilot (Will Smith) and a goofy scientist (Jeff Goldblum) to save the planet from total destruction. With plenty of action, special effects sequences and pithy one-liners, Independence Day is one of the 1990s' best popcorn flicks. Bill Pullman co-stars as the gung-ho president who urges his citizens to fight back.

Dante's Peak (1997)
Pierce Brosnan stars in this nail-biting thriller as volcanologist Harry Dalton, who comes to the sleepy town of Dante's Peak to investigate the recent rumblings of the dormant volcano the burg is named for. Before long, his worst fears are realized when a massive eruption hits, and immediately, Harry, the mayor (played by Linda Hamilton) and the townspeople find themselves fighting for their lives amid a catastrophic nightmare.

Volcano (1997)
Earthquakes look like child's play compared with what Mother Nature is throwing at Tinseltown this time. A volcano erupts and threatens to engulf downtown Los Angeles. But fear not: Tommy Lee Jones is in ass-kicking, "Listen up, people!" mode as he and scientist Anne Heche make sure the volcano thinks twice before it blows its top on the City of Angels.

War of the Worlds (2005)
In this loose adaptation of H.G. Wells's novel about alien invasion, Tom Cruise stars as Ray, a divorced dockworker whose children (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin) are staying with him for the weekend when a fleet of spaceships carrying tripod creatures appears in his neighborhood. Forced to become the protective father he's never been, Ray scrambles to usher his kids to safety, as the invasion escalates around them. Steven Spielberg directs.
