Yeah the original Poseidon Adventure is excellent.

I have to admit watching Deep Impact it wasn’t the film I thought it was!

This.

I quite like a disaster film and these two probably the best.

I remember "the night the bridge came down" as a kid but seems to have vanished. The Core probably the worst film.

These are the ones. However, I shall go:

Titanic A Night to Remember. The 1958 film (the 90s one was rubbish)

Alternatively Apollo 13, but I’m not sure it counts as a disaster movie. Lovell, Haise and Swigert might disagree!

It is actually a misquote. The first words were ‘okay Houston…we’ve had a problem here’ were spoken by Jack Swigert. The director, Ron Howard, said that because ‘Houston we have a problem’ was so well known, they decided to leave it in and got Lovell (Tom Hanks) to say the words.

When asked about the inaccuracies in the film (e.g. there was no tension between the crew), Howard said (im paraphrasing) that it had to be remembered they were making a film, not a pure documentary so certain things had to be altered.

However, the main thrust of the film is accurate and it was highly regarded by the real astronauts and people there at the time. It’s a great film. One of my favourites and the best of Tom Hanks too.

Yeah I saw Threads last year. Also saw The War Game, similar themes. Made in the 60s and banned for a long time. For modern disasters I'd mention Contagion again. And for silliness, Sharknado.
