I love a good disaster flick. my faves are 'Earthquake', 'Dantes Peak', 'The Day After Tomorrow', (burn all the books on TAX laws, you idiots) and 'The Wave' (love that one) and of course, 'Twister'--that was filmed not far from here. Had the film crews come in to where I worked when they were shooting locations. They were all excited when the storm warnings came on the radio and said they hoped they would see a REAL tornado--my reply was No You Don't.

What about the 1950 film, 'Panic In The Streets'
Directed by Elia Kazan and starring Richard Widmark and Jack Palance, it is the tale of a government health officer (Widmark) discovering that someone in New Orleans has the pneumomic plague, a respiratory version of the bubonic plague, and Widmark must find Patient Zero before New Orleans, and possibly all of America, is wiped out by the contagion.

Category 6 Day of Destruction is one of my favorite disaster movies and is very underrated, especially for a TV movie. It has good acting from Randy Quaid, Thomas Gibson who would just a year later go on to do Criminal Minds, and even Brian Dennehy. Not to mention, the CGI in it still looks great to this day. Highly recommend checking it out.

To me, a disaster film has to involve an actual disaster, purely of manmade or natural origin. Therefore, films such as Independence Day and Mars Attacks don't count since they're films about alien invasions.

I've always wondered why Michael Criton's work doesn't emphasize that he was a physician and his M. D. had a lot to do with his projects. It's sad that he dies so young as I'm certain he had more to say.

2012, Volcano, San Andreas, War of the Worlds, Outbreak, The Happening, Independence Day (It counts) and Day After Tomorrow are some of my favorites. I really liked A Perfect Storm. Great cast.

I enjoyed The Core. I don't see Perfect Storm and Deepwater Horizon as underrated. If you count mini series Atomic Train was also good. As others have said Dante's Peak and Volcano are others

Ditch 'The Core' and 'Meteor' and replace them with 'Outbreak' and either 'The Wave' or 'Into the Storm', and this would be a perfect list. Love the inclusion of 'Mars Attacks'!

Disaster movies are one of the only genres that can be terrible and still awesome at the same time. I love the cheap indies with awful effects, it's my favorite cinema junk food.

Only The Brave was heartbreaking. My favorites are Towering Inferno, Atomic Twister, Category 6: Day of Destruction and just for the fun of it Lavalantua.

The Finest Hours I thought deserved better. Not many movies about ship disasters are made. I would truly like to see a movie about the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Deepwater Horizon is one of my personal favorites. Sad for those who lost their lives and all the wildlife in the ocean that suffered.

Happy to see Andromeda Strain on here, the 1970's one. Also, I would add Dante's Peak. Clearly this list needs even more Pierce Brosnan.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo! The Towering Inferno (1974) and Earthquake (1974) were good movies to watch.
