Aria: what's weird is i always associated twister with tom skerritt more than helen hunt, maybe it's just me
Null Pulse: always felt that the early 90s disaster films, specifically Twister, set a new bar for authenticity in those types of movies
Milan: people saying disaster movies are all just action flicks miss the point, it's not about the heroics, it's about witnessing something greater than yourself that tests your limits. Titanic
Umbra Vector: finally a list that acknowledges titanic was more than just romance 😂 love it or hate it, davis and leonardo carried that film on their backs
Arlo: I'm surprised no one's mentioned Saving Private Ryan yet - that entire third act is an unrelenting disaster film
Echo Echo: kinda feels like "disaster" is being redefined - some of these feel like thrillers or adventure movies to me
Milan: love a good thrill ride but some of these picks are overhyped for me, especially Twister
Noraokafor: i'm more surprised by the lack of newer films on this list than the picks themselves somehow they all seem to have held up over time
Fathom Pulse: I love how disaster movies can be thrilling without being exploitative. Remember Twister's subtle portrayal of storm chasers?
Obsidian Cipher: this Titanic nostalgia trip doesn't hold a candle to The Impossible
Vanta Wolf: love how they snuck in Twister but left out that underrated gem Dante's Peak
