Okay......lessee here.......................
***"Songcatcher"----Trust me on this; it's a fuckin' disaster.
***"Independence Day"----When the aliens blow up the White House, visions of Dumbya dance through my head.
***"On the Beach"----You'll always cry every time you hear "Waltzing Matilda" after you see this one.
***"Plan Nine from Outer Space"----Ed Wood's great disater film where aliens invade in paperplate flying saucers on strings. There are aliens and zombies and scenes which change from daylight to night to daytime with every camera angle. Voted the worst movie of all time, this turkey is a disaster film on many levels! Even the star, Bela Lugosi, had only one scene in this flick.....he died bfore any more were shot. Gawd, I love Ed Wood.
***""Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)"----The ultimate comedy/disaster film. A great cast with some really inspired characters. When Slim Pickens rides the bomb down like a bronco, that alone is worth the price of admission.
I don't know Peter......There are all the classic Poseidon/Iferno/earthquake things of course..........I'll think about it.
