I still haven't seen DotD, but I suspect I won't like it as much as I like Airplane!, Shirley. Brad

I vote for my favorite buddy cop team: Godzilla and Jaws Brad

Jaws (I nominated it. It's like my little baby.) - abstain - (No Dawn) Brad

The Poseidon Adventure Godzilla, King of the Monsters Brad

- abstain - The Stand Brad

Airplane - "Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does, it never happens, it's a dumb question, skip it." RIP Robert Stack. The Towering Inferno - Nominated for best picture alongside Godfather 2...

I'll be looked upon with scorn and ridicule for this, but I'm voting for Miracle Mile. Score one for the underdog. And I haven't seen Dawn of the Dead (more ridicule!) so I'm abstaining in that one. Brad

What is the disaster movie formula? 1. Introduce the characters, usually an ensemble cast with a clean-cut heroic white dude in a leadership role. 2. Alternatively open with foreshadowing of the disaster (a ticking bomb, a sparking wire in an engine, a fire in a trash bin, ominous clouds...

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 Brad

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.) Brad

The Sum of All Fears (You put Clark in a movie = I like it. Simplest formula ever. They could probably have Corey Feldman play him and it would still work. OK, maybe not.) The Stand (I've been stuck here in Boulder for years waiting for the damn plague to start. It's about my only reasonable...

Abstain - I have never subjected myself to a viewing of Armageddon. Abstain - I have never taken the opportunity to watch Damnation Alley. I'm pretty sure my votes would be for Titanic and Them! even if I had seen the competition. Brad

Airport I like Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin more than Bill Paxton and Cary Elwes, but I also am fascinated by tornadoes. Close call. The Towering Inferno I had to flip a coin. I won't argue with anyone about their choice here. I think Apollo 13 is a better movie overall, but TTI is...

The Abyss Best special effect = water morphing to mimic the face of Lindsey Airplane! Best special effect = the smiling auto-pilot Brad

Nominate: Night of the Comet Comet kills everybody but two hot valley girls and 1st Mate Chakotay. WarGames WOPR will annihilate all of humanity if we don't teach it tic-tac-toe. Second: Killer Klowns from Outer Space Third: A Night to Remember Holding one second and one third...

Second The Quiet Earth Third Apollo 13 I'm spent. Brad

Auto-nom: Jaws (if "Shark Attack" counts as a natural disaster) Seconds: The Stand Thirds: Miracle Mile Dr. Strangelove or: How I Couldn't Be Bothered to Type Out the Entire Title One second and one third remaining for me. Brad

Nominations: Night of the Lepus - Giant mongrel rabbits attack! Black Sunday - Crazy vet Bruce Dern attacks the Super Bowl with a dirigible! Beginning of the End - Peter Graves battles giant grasshoppers! I had to have at least one Bert I. Gordon flick in there. :D Seconds...
