The Zombie thread got me thinking about film in general, and other sub genres that had a ton of films on a particular subject. Doomsday/disaster films have been out for over 100 years, starting with Fire!, about a deadly fire in a Chicago neighborhood (I remember seeing an A&E Special about it) and still to this day they come out every summer and for the most part are turned into a melodramatic love story with a sub-plot about the world imploding within a certain time period.

My faves:
The Core <--- incredible CGI and Hillary Swank.
War Of The Worlds (05') <--- I would have enjoyed this better if Dakota Fanning had cancer
The Perfect Storm <--- I would say one of the greatest disaster movies of all time
Poseidon <---- Kurt Russel gives me boners
Apollo 13 <---- Much better that Space Cowboys and Armageddon
Reign of Fire <--- Kind of doesn't count, but great movie anyway

I'm not a movie critic or anything but, I'm not sure I would call Money Train a Doomsday/Disaster Movie, Unless by disaster you mean that it was the last time Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson teamed up? *sniff*
I love those guys... |

ghostrider: A Boy And His Dog
I was going to say. This film is 15 kinds of awesome, either because of or in spite of Don Johnson, and Don Johnson talking to a telepathic dog.

Backdraft isn't a disaster movie either, unless having a Baldwin in the movie makes it so.

I submit that the Matrix could be classified as a robot/cyborg movie. Though it focuses mainly on software, the real backbone to the thing is robots. Thank you.

Odd how Cyborg isn't listed under Cyborg movies... I guess they classify anything with Van Damme as a Man Made Disaster. |

Before Terminator brought us Skynet, there was Colossus: The Forbin Project.
Way creepy Cold War cautionary tale.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1956) was a good one as well.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) was tasty.
Silent Running was... something. Maby silly. But it still fits into the disaster category. And it had the original R2D2. |
