Armageddon (1998)

Blockbuster-maker Michael Bay's bazillion-dollar-grossing sci-fi/action epic Armageddon (1998) casts Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and Steve Buscemi as astronauts charged with saving the world from an incoming meteor the size of Texas. Liv Tyler plays Bruce's daughter, who falls for Ben to the triumphant, chart-topping, Carole Bayer-Sager-penned strains of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. Harry Knowles of the online movie-geek resource Ain't It Cool News proudly reported that Armageddon moved him to tears. The esteemed Criterion Collection released a special double-disc edition of Armageddon. Is it the end of the world as we know it? No—that happens when Layla Roberts plays a stripper who doesn't take off her leather bra.
