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

[Justin_S]

Come on, if THE DAY AFTER (which I do love) can make it in, surely THREADS and TESTAMENT can!

I was going to use NIGHT OF THE COMET as my auto, but I'll gladly second it.

 

[LukeB]

I'll nominate some...

Ghostbusters - Ancient Sumerian god comes to New York City and general havoc ensues.
Arachnophobia - Deadly South American spider arrives in small California town, and wreaks havoc

 

[ErikG]

Scarface - Um...!

My sentiments exactly


Second:

The Day the Earth Caught Fire


Third:

Night of the Comet
The Sum of All Fears
