Hollywood Loves its Disaster Movies

This page is all about movies on natural disasters, man made catastrophes and humanity doomsdays.

There has always been a morbid fixation on natural disasters and end of the world scenarios. What better way to indulge safely in this topic then in the movies. I think these natural disaster movies serves as a timely warning to us to better manage our precious planet Earth and to help each other in the times of need.

These movies have the power to inspire us and bring us closer together no matter what our difference. Each time you cheer for your on movie heroes, be reminded you can do extraodinary things too.

We don't really need a real global disaster like in the movies to rally our resources and work together right?

List of Best Science Fiction Disaster Movies

Disaster by Aliens or Science Gone Wrong!

Some of the best disaster movies have been sci fi films. These Science Fiction movies usually involves vicious or "well meaning" Aliens that threatens our planet and way of life. There are also some variations on how Scientific Research Gone Wrong threatens the very existence of the human species.

I especially like "Independence Day" because it weaves the struggles of the individuals into the unreal tale of an alien invasion.

One of my favorite film and I simply love Will Smith's role of the "can-do" fighter pilot that kicks "E.T"s ass. The great thing about this movie is that its full of well developed characters that you love and care about. The movie weaves these initially off tangent plot elements, finally coming together to create one of the most satisfying conclusions in a Sci Fi film.3 points

An Intense Scene from the Post Apocalyptic Movie "The Road" (from the Novel of the same name)

List of Post-Apocalyptic Movies

When Civilisation & the World Crumbles

These films show when happens after global disasters wipe out or complete change civilisation as we know it. They usually follow the survivors and I especially like those that show the determination and some redeeming quality of the human race while the survivors struggle against immense odds.

In my humble opinion, post apocalytic movies are also the most intense catastrophe movies because the they take what's familiar and things we take for granted and twist them into a sort of nightmare future.

List of Natural Disaster Movies

Natural disasters have always been one of the best themes for the greatest disaster films. Here's my list of favorite natural disaster movies from the usual earthquakes, weather gone wild, to the more exotic case of the earth's core stops spinning. Be awed by the power of nature to destroy. Some of the best disaster films have come from the sweeping epic scope of natural disasters. These films are nearly always a humbling experience for the audience to realize how powerless we humans can be, to be at the mercy of the mother nature's elements.

Go ahead and enjoy these catastrophe movies and hopefully humanity's future is much brighter.

    Killer lens! I'm a diehard disaster movie buff. The only movie on the list I haven't seen (an embarrassing number of times*) is the Andromeda Strain. (I'll be renting it tonight)

    *I've got to say though Skyline sucked. It sucked so hard it turned itself inside out.

    What a great list of disaster movies -- you're right, they are morbidly fun to watch :-)

    "Skyline" looks like a good contender for a successful disaster movie!

    Oh this is definitely a lens I'll be looking at more often. My son and I really LOVE the disaster movies and always wonder if there are some we haven't seen, I see a few on your list. I'll be linking to you from our lens. Have a great day!
