Re: Favourite Disaster Movies
Hollywood produced some absolute bangers in the 1970s. Poseidon and Towering Inferno would be at the top of my list. Also Airplane which is way better than any of the films it’s sending up.

Re: Favourite Disaster Movies
I remember going out to see the Towering Inferno at the cinema in Jo'burg for my birthday. We went out for a curry at a restaurant called the East African Pavilion where my friend and I enjoyed a hot curry and little too much wine (we would have only been 11 or so at the time).

Re: Favourite Disaster Movies
Earthquake. Gives the 100Watt sub-woofer a workout.
Chuck makes the wrong choice at the end IMHO.

Chuck’s choice is limited by the Hollywood rule book. There are certain things blockbuster heroes do, and things they just don’t do.
