Classic disaster films?
Can anyone recommend any? I've got a few already, and a couple on the way:
Poseidon Adventure Airport Airport 1975 Airport 1977 Airport 1979 (did you know that the Concorde they used for that film is the one that sadly crashed?). On the way: Towering Inferno Earthquake Any other quality classics? Ta! |

A Night to Remember
Great film about the Titanic, I've got the DVD, it rocks. OK, everyone knows what happens in the end but at least there's no dodgy love story (sadly, there's no Kate Winslet baps either).

Waterworld was a complete disaster, does that count?

I'm not sure whether theyre exactly what you're after, but Assault on Precinct 13, Farenheit 451, Maximum Overdrive and The Quiet Earth are also pretty good.
Alos, take a look at these lists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disaster_films http://www.volumen.net/apoc/
