Movie Shout Outs - Favorite Disaster Film? - Responses!
Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 4:00AM It's Sunday, so that means it's Movie Shout Out Response Time!
Yesterday's question was:
What is your favorite guilty-pleasure Disaster film?
This one got a LOT of responses! It seems there is a reason these films continue to be made. Check out your responses below:

Gigli, because it was a disaster of a film!

There's so many but currently it's 2012. Both Vegas and my fair City of Angels gets destroyed. Makes me giggle like a school girl.

What was the one with Pierce Brosnan? The only scene I can really remember is they are in a canoe on a lake/pond thats full of acid, kiling fish. But not melting the boat. Dante's Peak!

Towering Inferno. Or The Posideon Adventure (the original, of course).

I adore Cameron's Titanic if that counts as a guilty pleasure.

The Towering Inferno, burning skyscaper story with an incredible cast including Paul Newman & Steve McQueen ... 2 and a half hours of typical 70s edge of your seat fun

I have a guilty pleasure with Towering Inferno. Firefighters howl at the scene where two fireballs are falling down an elevator shaft and one chief looks at the other and says with all the emotion of stubbing one's toe. "Those are two of ours."

disaster movies should have soap opera storylines & an all star cast, so my vote is for the big daddy 'The Towering Inferno'

Night of the Comet, or Independence day

Irwin Allen was the Master. I agree with Ben, the Towering Inferno is great plus I've always had a dear spot in my hear for the Poseidon Adventure.

Always has been old-school, 'Earthquake'
@DangerShoes via Twitter
Earthquake. Absolutely exquisite in its guilty pleasuring.

Atomic Train! "The Final Stop Is Deadly." What could be better? (maybe worse?)
@crowfax via Twitter
I have to say I love The Day After Tomorrow...guilty.

as of now it is 2012, it was so stupid. I just couldn't stop laughing. STUPIDITY IN HD.

I'm with Keith, Poseidon Adventure is pretty good. I just saw 2012 the other day, and while it lowered my IQ by at least that many points, I have to say that it was just plain dumb fun and worth a watch.
@Kelly G.L. via Facebook
The (original) Poseidon Adventure.
@reduced via Twitter
Does Twister count? I could watch that one over and over again. I also have a soft spot for The Day After Tomorrow, because it is so very fun to giggle at.
Leslie N via Facebook
you mean the movie its self is a disaster like Furry Vengeance or a movie about a disaster like a bio pic of Rose O'Donnell?
@KI6ILS via Twitter
Indiana Jones 4 is the greatest disaster of all time! My world, definitely, almost came to an end. I wish George, Steven and Harrison a comfortable, and hopefully soon, retirement.
Arin K via Facebook
I say 28 Days Later (or other apocalyptic zombie flicks). If I can speak for my non-Twittering wife, she says Titanic.
@andrewski via Twitter
@Arin: yes, @Danielle: Guilty as well

First one that comes to mind is The Towering Inferno, although I'd add Fred Astaire to the "incredible cast" list; Gayle voted with The Day After Tomorrow gathering crowd.

For me, I have always had a soft spot for Independence Day. How can you go wrong with Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith?
