My favorite microgenre: Disaster movies where nature stops working somehow, so a crack team of experts has to save the world by taking a future vehicle to the nature to blow it up with a nuke so that it starts working again.

Deep Impact: A big rock is going to hit the Earth and kill everyone! A crack team of experts needs to go fly a spaceship to the rock and blow it up with a nuke to save the world.

Armageddon: A big rock is going to hit the Earth and kill everyone! A crack team of experts needs to go fly a spaceship to the rock and blow it up with a nuke to save the world, Michael Bay style.

The Core: The core of the Earth is going to shut down and kill everyone! A crack team of experts needs to go ride a laser powered wiggle worm to the Earth and blow it up with a nuke to save the world.

Sunshine: The Sun is going to shut down and kill everyone! A crack team of experts needs to go fly a spaceship to the Sun and blow it up with a nuke to save the world.

It's already completely bizarre how there are FOUR of these movies alone. Are there more I don't know about? A movie where they have to nuke the sky to make it finally rain? A Children of Men ripoff where they have to nuke a baby so everyone can start having kids again? I'm looking to add more to this list. Contributions are helpful!
