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

[Brad Porter]

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.

My votes go to Dante's Peak (guilty pleasure, sue me) and The Stand (fanboy vote).

 

[Matt Stone]

Same as Scott.

Dante's Peak
The Stand

 

[SteveGon]

Dante's Peak
The Stand - It's a little more on the fun side.

 

[Dheiner]

The Sum of All Fears
The Day After

(If we were discussing the book, The Stand would easily get my vote.)

 

[Brad Porter]

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 method to find an affordable house.)

How the heck did I miss this tournament for this long?

Dante's Peak - It even features a Wilhelm. I can see the tourism brochure right now:

"Come visit Dante's Peak. The water is pH balanced to dissolve your grandma in seconds!"

The Stand - I love scenes with deserted metropolis streets (12 more hours till 28 Days Later!!). Also, The Day After is far too real to be much fun for me as a disaster film.

 

[Bill J]

The Sum of All Fears

DANTE'S PEAK

THE STAND- One of my all time favorites, and easily the second best King adaptation out there! I treasure this film, but I also really love THE DAY AFTER.

The Sum of All Fears

Dante's Peak
The Stand

Dante's Peak

 

[ErikG]

Dante's Peak
The Stand (The Day After is excellent, too)

 

[Ric Bagoly]

abstain (no Sum)

The Stand easily. Day After is like a b-movie.

 

[JenB]

The Stand although The Day After was a well done, very scary movie too.
