Time for a movie! - the best disaster films ever!

I just realized what the film's name was, that I saw on tv, and I was searching for it on the net for a long time.

It is called Das Inferno - Flammen über Berlin(#). It's a 2007 german film production, cathegorized as disaster-, drama-, and action film.
I was confusing it with The Towering Inferno(1974) :D and that's why I didn't find it.

Now, while I'm talking about disaster films(and I'm in the mood for blogging:P), I thought I write a list of the best disaster films I saw, for those of you who might be interested
here it goes:



  • The Day After Tomorrow (2004) - about global warming.I think everybody heard of this one:D
  • An Inconvenient Truth (2006) - this one is a documentay film with Al Gore, also about global warming
  • the next in line is the story of the luxorious and well known ship, the Titanic (1997). Starring with Leorando DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
  • now, while I'm at ships, I must mention the Poseidon (2006) film. The plot is pretty much the same as the Titanic's, but without so much romance, and with more action
  • The Perfect Storm (2000) - adapted from the book with the same title(I read it:D), by Sebastian Junger.About fisherman.
  • Twister (1996) - about tornado hunters
  • Flood (2007) - a british disaster film. It takes place in London.
  • Volcano, and Dante's peak - both released in the same year (1997).About the destructive power of volcanoes.
  • Deep Impact(with Elijah Wood) and Armageddon - 1998 - when a comet/asteroid hits Earth.I liked the first one better, however they are more science fictional than realistic. I don't like pure science fiction films.
  • The Core (2003) - a geological disaster.If you're interested in what's going on down in the Earth's core, don't miss this one! :wink:


If any of you knows more of theese kind of films(eg. avalanches, earthquakes, tornadoes, global warming, fires, or other) please share it!:smile:

Hi, let me broaden your disaster films list by Threads — a postcatastrophic film about the world after an atomic conflict, it is a played documentary, but really terrifying one. Just try to see it — and the last one: Children of Men — welcome to the world, where all hope has almost faded out since there have not been being born children. :rolleyes:
