In order of merit:
1.The Towering Inferno (1974) (action sequences) ***1/2
2.Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea (1961) ***
3.Five Weeks in a Balloon (1962) **1/2
4.The Lost World (1960) **1/2
5.Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979) **
6.The Swarm (1978) **
I would like to watch THE STORY OF MANKIND (1957), often cited among the worst films ever made!
