Directors Disaster Movies: An Old-Fashioned Non-Draft Tournament! (1 Viewer)

[Scott Weinberg]

Dante's Peak and The Stand move on.

Next matchups:

Deep Impact

vs.

The Quiet Earth

----

Dr. Strangelove

vs.

The Poseidon Adventure

---

My votes:

The Quiet Earth because it's a great movie and Deep Impact annoys me.

The Poseidon Adventure only because it's the sort of 'disaster movie' I was thinking of when I started this tourney. If you really think I believe TPA is a better film than is Strangelove, then I want what you're smoking.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

abstain (no Quiet)

Dr. Strangelove Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

 

[Justin_S]

DEEP IMPACT- I love this film.

DR. STRANGELOVE

 

[george kaplan]

I'm with Scott here. Dr. Strangelove is a top 10 film, but it isn't a disaster movie in my mind.

The Quiet Earth (This is more of an anti-vote for Deep Impact)
Dr. Strangelove:..." (I fully understand the reason behind selecting TPA, but I just really freakin' love this movie and have to cast at least one vote for it.)

Deep Impact
The Poseidon Adventure

Poseiden Adventure

haven't seen Quiet Earth

 

[Walter Kittel]

The Quiet Earth

abstain - For this tourney, no rationale exists which could force me to vote for The Poseiden Adventure over Dr. Strangelove

- Walter.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

The Quiet Earth and The Poseidon Adventure move on.

Next matchups:

Earthquake

vs.

Piranha

---

Godzilla, King of the Monsters

vs.

The Perfect Storm

---

Two easy picks for me:

Piranha over the silly quake flick and the original Godzilla over the tiresome boat flick.

 

[SteveGon]

Piranha
Godzilla

 

[Brad Porter]

Abstain (I haven't actually seen Earthquake, but I did go on the Universal Studio's tour!. It was kinda lame, but in a cheesy fun way.)

Godzilla

Piranha and Godzilla, King of the Monsters move on.

Next matchups:

Independence Day

vs.

A Night to Remember

---

Jaws

vs.

Night of the Comet

---

My vote goes to Jaws. It's been way too long since I've seen portions of ANTR to vote properly.

 

[george kaplan]

I like Independence Day better than A Night to Remember, which is light years better than Titanic, but I can't really bring myself to think of it as a disaster movie.

A Night To Remember

Jaws

 

[SteveGon]

...but I can't really bring myself to think of it as a disaster movie.

And Jaws is?

A Night to Remember - Actually a tough one.
Night of the Comet
