I don't count Titanic because it's more sappy than chessy. I'm going with ID4 for this. It's the most entertaining.

Twister (1996)
Armageddon (1998)
Deep Impact (1998)
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
Volcano (1997)
Outbreak (1995)
Independence Day (1996)
Dante's Peak (1997)
Godzilla (1998)

I do like a good disaster film but somehow I missed all of those.

Wow. get yourself to a steaming service immediately. Dantes Peak, Twister then Volcano..

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

What? All of them? They're all so damn entertaining. You won't be disappointed with the cheese.

EDIT: Godzilla actually does suck. Speed 2 is at least so bad it's good.

I always enjoy a good serving of cheese but mine usually is from the 70’s - 80’s. I’ve missed large portions thereafter. As Tcrum advised, I do have streaming and I could pull the trigger any time though. 😀

WOW DUDE...JUST...WOW.🙂

I know. It’s just that I’ve always been locked into certain genres and have spent all my time on them. When I say locked in, I mean trying to watch every film within them. Its great but I miss entire other segments of movies.

No Contest..Dantes Peak..Awesome

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

Some great visual effects in the movie. Other than an odd miniature, top notch effects.

[–] sslssg (35200) 5 years ago

I think Dante's Peak or Deep Impact would be my favourite Natural Disaster movies.

Other type of disaster would be Alive (1993).

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

I specified cheesy because movies like that and Titanic would win easily.

[–] sslssg (35200) 5 years ago

"If I die, you can eat me", is a little bit cheesy. 😁

I don't remember that line. It's Ethan Hawker, isn't it? Only he can pull off that line.

[–] sslssg (35200) 5 years ago

I honestly don't remember, I think they all promise to eat each other. I think one of them even makes everyone promise to lick their plates or something like that.

YOU MEAN MEATY🙂

[–] ColumboKate (5788) 5 years ago

I like them all! I always thought deep impact was loads better than armageddon though.

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 5 years ago

They were both pretty bad but, yeah, I agree that Deep Impact was miles better than Armageddon.

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

Deep Impact has the best cast of the bunch.

[–] Kowalski (79157) 5 years ago

HOW DARE YOU!🙂

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 5 years ago

Saw all of those except Speed 2.
I only liked Outbreak and ID4 out of those. And ID4 wasn't really good. Most on that list are MST3K grade.

[–] Kowalski (79157) 5 years ago

WELL...AT LEAST YOU SKIPPED SPEED 2...THATS DEFINITELY THE TURD IN THIS CANDY BAG.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sorry joes I'm not really a fan of any of those movies, Dante's Peak would probably my pick from that lot, but even that was so-so for me.

If I want great disaster movies I would look to the 70s rather than the 90s.

[–] samoanjoes (58626) 5 years ago

No need to apologize. These are all cheesy movies. I'm not really going to get that with The Towering Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure.

[–] Kowalski (79157) 5 years ago

LOL...THOSE ARE BOTH GREAT MOVIES AND I CAN UNDERSTAND PEOPLES PROCLIVITY FOR THE OLDER FILMS...BUT COME ON...THEY HAVE JUST AS MUCH CHEESE AS THEIR 90S COUNTERPARTS...ITS JUST DONE IN A CLASSIER MANNER.🙂

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Deep Impact and Dante's Peak

Deep Impact
