Disaster Movies
 

My wife likes disaster / doomsday movies like "Asteroid", "Independance Day" etc. Whats your favorite? Whats your recommendation?

House of the Dead.

Airplane for laughs, but otherwise, Poseidon Adventure.

Here's what you need, the "Terminal Pack":

As for my favorites, besides one of the Airport movies (can't remember which one) I liked the Towering Inferno, Poseiden Adventure, and some of the recent round of disaster movies (like Independence Day, Armageddon, etc).

Battlefield Earth

Day after tommorow
watch the last half hour of deep impact

Earthquake
The Towering Inferno

Poseidon (The original) Since there are 2 remakes coming out
Towering Inferno.

Here are some of my faves in no particular order for disaster/doomsday movies:

War of the Worlds (Cruise)
The Core
Twister
Towering Inferno
Armagaddon
Dawn of the Dead remake
Land of the Dead
28 Days Later
On the Beach
The Time Machine

War of the Worlds
28 Days Later
12 Monkeys
Titanic

All very well made in my opinion - and great directors too... (Spielberg, Boyle, Gilliam and Cameron)

the guy who mentioned Battlefield Earth owes me a new polo shirt, because I snorted up diet coke all over mine :)

Lot of good ones mentioned so far, but if quality is of no importance, try When Time Ran Out with Paul Newman. It's a volcano that no one (except Newman, natch) believes will erupt.

Airport

You wife might enjoy Last Night...indie Canadian film about the end of the world. But if she's looking for cool special effects and loads of people dying, you're out of luck ;)

In this movie the world simply ends without any resistance, or "Acts of God" Good flick though.

stealth...wait

Dante's Peak is good... so is Volcano... your wife likes seeing stuff get all blown up and ripped to pieces huh? That's so cool... :)

Would Dr. Strangelove count?

Thanks great idea's And yes her favorites so far are Dante's Peak and Volcano

oh let's see..

(my faves)

Avalanche
Meteor
Twister
When World's Collide

Haven't seen it yet. But KAIRO looks excellent! I just read the DVDTalk Review, and am pretty anxious to see it.

shhh... that's kinds of a spoiler but yes
