Disaster/apocalypse movies if they were actually accurate:
Deep Impact: the Comet destroys the earth because the rocket doesn't get built as that would cost money and conservatives don't want their tax dollars wasted on "silly space nonsense"
Mad Max: everyone is fighting to get rid of all the water because they believe that water actually causes dehydration. Also they think petrol is bad for car engines so it's just dudes sitting around the desert dying and going "see things keep getting better!"
Volcano: most of the movie is just a discussion about whether lava-affected businesses are able to keep operating
Contagion: we are living in the real version
Waterworld: everyone is dead cause they all just drink seawater
The Road: The Dad is wandering around the wasteland filming himself complaining that all the childcare centres are closed because he has to go to work "This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!"
Armageddon: sending oil drillers to space instead of astronauts is the kind of bullshit that's actually pretty accurate
Godzilla: after Godzilla destroys five cities there's a heated debate in the media about whether the big lizard actually exists. After a year of destruction the government commits to a plan of asking Gozilla to leave by 2060
Dante's Peak: a large protest movement forms against the tyranny of the pyroclastic flow emanating from the volcano and one by one the entire earth's population willing walks into the eruption to assert their rights to free movement
Soylent Green: when the truth comes out that Soylent Green is people, the public is a bit outraged. The media interviews those responsible to get their side of the story and eventually everyone just forgets about it/doesn't care and Soylent Green continues to he widely consumed
