Hiya....
I would like to thank contributors for their input on my query of
meteorites in pop culture. Very helpful. Thank you!
I hope you realize the increased frequency of meteorite "hits" in pop
cultural references is not just due to the meteorites themselves, but
due, in part, to the passion and efforts of everyone on this list --
and that's so cool.
Have a great weekend / Darryl
p.s. Several folks mentioned Peter Hoeg's "Smilla's Sense of Snow."
It's extraordinary.

That's a pretty daunting task to set for oneself Darryl. I think the
more you look the more you'll find. Movies, TV shows, commercials,
books, song lyrics, comic books, video games... and that's just in
the US...
I see people have already referenced 60's and 50's examples, even
though you said "recent".
There is the Gilligan's Island episode "Meet the Meteor" (Available
for viewing here: http://www.thewb.com/shows/gilligans-island/meet-the-meteor/097e2c1d-3384-4e2c-b9d1-c98a4e193a82
)
A few years ago there was a commercial for a pickup truck that was
hit by a meteorite and drove away unharmed...

A band called "The Meteor Pilots"
and on and on...
You might want to put up a web form for people to offer titles. I
think you'll find many score, if not hundreds of them
Good luck.

Hi Everyone,
I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop
cultural references in recent years in which meteorites
appear in a supporting or lead role. I'm primarily
looking at works of fiction but scientific references of the
pop cultural ilk will be similarly
welcome. Looking for films, TV, books,
etc.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much, and wishing you a good weekend,
Darryl
