Best of Genre.

[pinback]

A post in one of the other threads gave me a good idea. Let's all try to come up with the best movie of any particular genre. Since the genre that was being discussed was "Disaster Movies", let's start with:

Disaster Movies
------------------------

Let's see. I haven't seen too many of them. If "Titanic" counts, then I nominate "Titanic". However, if it doesn't...

Hmmm.

That IS a toughie.

Any ideas?

That movie where they were all underwater and that one guy tried to save that other guy's life, but realized that he had to press on or die himself, leaving his friend to sacrificially perish in his wake.

[Lysander]

That one movie where the asteroid comes and almost kills everybody but instead it only kills a few people.

You know. That one.

I'm not sure if I'd want to watch it again because it's not that good, but I figure "the Poseidon Adventure" would be in the running.

How about that one where gene Wilder dresses up in a purple frock coat and invites a bunch of dysfunctional kids over to his place and gives them LSD in candy. Then these little orange dudes start coming out of the walls and everything gets real weird. Thats a REAL disaster movie.

OK, enough levity.

the first 'Airport' movie. I like the nervous sweaty guy with the bomb in his briefcase. How many times would he be shot dead if they had metal detectors and sniffer dogs back then?

STEW: "May I take that briefcase for you, Mr. Nervous Sweaty guy?"

NSG: "NO! I mean..um, no thank you. I'll just go sit down here, by the wing..and the engine."

STEW: Oopsie! we dropped our detonator battery. Here you are. Have a nice flight."
