2012

Apollo 13

Titanic

Armageddon

Deep Impact

Contagion

Gravity

Dante's Peak

Volcano

Into The Storm

Battle: Los Angeles

Anybody have any other recommendations?

I can't remember this one and I should, but the one where it's taken from that POV camera and- OH, Cloverfield. That's it. Lol.

I loved Cloverfield. She HATED it haha

Disaster film or dystopian future flicks? I'm more versed in the latter, here are some of my faves

Strange Days

City of Lost Children

Dantes peak

Attack the block (which is freaking awesome)

Mars attacks

The day the earth stood still

They live

The mist (one of my all time favs)

I FORGOT ABOUT ATTACK THE BLOCK.

So damn good. More alien takeover, but man, I love it.

Mars Attacks is also awesome.

My favorite genres of movies are disaster and distopian future movies, so this is actually a topic I can add something to.

 

Omega Man - When I saw I am Legend I was sure that it was a loose remake of this Heston movie.

 

Towering Inferno and Posiedon Adventure - A couple of gems from the late 70 or early 80s.  

 

Backdraft and Firestorm - Not your typical global armagedon movies, but are damn good.

 

Been meaning to watch the Airport movies.  Just never got around to doing it, but I know it's thought of as the father of all disaster movies.

 

The Core is also a must have for disaster movie buffs.  Not because it's good, but because it's so bad it's good.

 

 

 

 

Couple more Heston flicks worth mentioning - Skyjacked and Earthquake.  Then there is Solar Crisis which is just another one of those so bad it's good movies.  There's also one of my favorite movies of all time Soylent Green, but that is more of a distopian future movie.  Really anything Heston is great.
