Disaster Movies- what do I need to watch?

[Oreosareawful]

I've seen most of the usual ones- 2012, The day after tomorrow, Geostorm, The Core, Armageddon etc

Please recommend one I might not have seen? I love anything involving weather, climate change and such.

Ooh also Contagion

I thought Station 11 was going to be a really good disaster type series but after the first episode it went on a tangent I didn't like at all - anyone else?

Interesting fact - San Andreas is Comedian Sarah Millicans favourite film (along with Muppets Christmas Carol).

Towering Inferno - a classic
The Poseiden Adventure (1972)

I just wish I knew why disaster movies are my happy place. Probably best left alone.

Second The Wave.
And also The Quake ( also Norwegian and linked to The Wave)

Take Shelter is kind of interesting and not well known, although it's a bit of an odd disaster movie.

Dear me. Why, Sarah, why? My DS (now 12) has a bit of a yen for disaster movies, which is why I seem to have seen so many, but they give me the serious heebie-jeebies, even the milder kind with the Rock parachuting into baseball pitches.

Under Paris

There aren’t enough disaster movies - I love them and have seen them all!!!

Not a proper movie, more a 2 part made for TV movie, but Flood is a decent (if unbelievable in parts!) London based disaster one - its on Amazon Prime I think. Based on the idea of a once in a lifetime storm surge overwhelming the Thames Barrier. The book is better though.

Children of Men so good
the end we start from
I liked world war z

Oh also The Last of Us TV series, absolutely epic.

And Snowpiercer, both original movie and TV series.

I really like disaster movies and I’m
sure there’s appetite for more good ones to be made

I love the book. Episode one was great, and I liked the airport bit too. Definitely worth watching.

The last of us
The Road
Leave the world behind (NF)
I am legend
Into the forest

Obviously all the ones from the 70s were far superior to modern day films.

I saw Earthquake in 1974/5 in Sensuround which had special sound effects to make you feel you were actually experiencing an earthquake. It was fab!

Modern day one you might like is Flood 2007

Cliffhanger - if you want a disasterous evening watching a dreadful film, badly acted with an implausible plot, then this is the film for you.
Personally I'd rather stand on Lego bricks for an evening while eating tofu.

Love The Wave, funnily enough watched that and The Quake again the other night!

Is that the one with Sly Stallone looking like an even sadder smooshed up version of Steven Seagal? Prime keeps telling me to watch something with him in it. They don't know me at all...couldn't sit through anything with either of them in!

What was the one with Robert Carlyle and the whole of London flooding,

That's the one. 💩

Speaking of Sly Stallone, Daylight is pretty good.

The Day After, on youtube I think, American version of Threads
