I was watching 2012 earlier which got me thinking about Armageddon and Deep Impact. There's something about end of the world disaster movies that fascinates me (that's probably slightly morbid but hey ho) so I was wondering what ones you would recommend?

It's trash, with BS science, but all these movies are like that. The main thing is that it's enjoyable BS trash.
The original.
Are u refering to The Day After(1983)?if so i dont think the day after tomorrow is the sequel.
Ah ok, ignore my previous comment then
Its on Film4 again on Friday @9 (again).

But I'd have to say definitely read Nevil Shute's book first. It creeps up on you and the ending just leaves you feeling empty.
Great film and book - just reading it at the minute actually and loved the film.
What about 'Threads'? Similar to The Day After but much more visceral.
I quite liked Volcano, not end of the world, but end of 1 city !
I really like Volcano, a bit silly, a bit cheesy, but good none the less.
Thanks for all the recomendations, I can see me having a disaster filled movie christmas break this year
