I was watching
The Core and
Day After Tomorrow during the long weekends and realized I was watching disaster movies back to back. And their plotline looked so similar. Then I started wishing I also had
Towering Inferno,
Twister,
Airport and
Earthquake on DVD. I also have a
9/11 bootleg DVD but it wasn't much as it was more a documentary as seen from the eyes of surviving NY firemen. I wonder if there are more 9/11 legit DVDs locally available.
Here are my list of disaster-themed movies/documentaries on DVD that I have:
The Core
Day After Tomorrow
Armageddon
Mars Attack
9/11
Space Cowboys
Apollo 13
Dante's Peak
Pearl HarborStill waiting for the release of
Titanic
War Of The WorldsStill planning to get:
Deep Impact
Twister
The HindenburgUnless owners of these don't find them worth watching.
Have anymore recommended disaster-themed movies???
Someone asked me how I define disaster-themed movies. Personally, any natural calamity or man-made situations gone wrong that either decimated structures and people or tested human endurance and perseverance to survive should qualify. By that, I might even consider
Jurassic Park 1 and
2 as part of the genre. What do you think?
