Redartz: Greetings, all! Today we will consider those classic Bronze Age popcorn flicks known as "disaster movies". You remember them: pick a crisis situation, add a cast of varied celebrities and actors in peril, shake well (especially in the case of "Earthquake"), and you have the formula for a 70's box office hit!
Which ones were your favorites? What actors/actresses do you recall, and did these films mean death for their careers? How about those special effects? What about some more recent disaster films, such as "Titanic" , "Twister" and "Dante's Peak"? And have you gone 'back into the water' yet?
