In my opinion only 13 (highlighted) of the top 40 are disaster films! WTF? I love Die Hard but it's a hostage action flick not a disaster flick. Titanic wasn't even mentioned!! Anyone agree?

Thank you :D I know Titanic is pants, I thought it was great in 98 though :o but it still counts as a disaster flick. Also if spoofs were included - Mars Attacks, how come there was no Airplane! A travesty!

bleeding KRAKATOA isn't even it it for flips sake!!!!

seems like 5ive just padded out the list with some of their own (con air / air force one / the rock)

leave lists like this to channel 4 ..... they KNOW how to do them properly!!!
 
Deep Impact is my favourite disaster film so im glad it got a good spot on the list, but in my eyes it's number one, no question. I thought it was a bit weird that Die Hard was number one though, it's definately more of an action film than a disaster film.
 
Some of the films on that list are random! How/why is Die Hard number 1? That's an action/thriller film, not a disaster film...I have 12 of thsoe films...LOVE Disaster films...need to get Earthquake! :eek:
 
I cannot believe Die Hard (shouldn't have even been in the list!) and Armageddon (especially) beat out Apollo 13, a splendid film which easily deserved the top spot.

Five must have brought in a real bunch of simpletons to concoct this list. Doesn't surprise me really. :rolleyes:
 
Five are the same company "remember" who claimed the reason they brought back the Digital On-Screen Graphic to their main channel was because the survey they performed with viewers showed that the large majority of them actually preferred the presence of the logo. :rolleyes:

In the worRAB of Sam Wheat...

"What a crock of s**t!" :sleep:
