33 Great Disaster Movies That'll Have You Running for Cover (Timeout)

"Alongside the horror genre, disaster movies are cinema's way of reflecting our deepest fears back at us. And unlike horror, where the peril can be contained or is even existential, the threat in this oeuvre is often limitless – there's nothing like the future of the entire planet hanging in the balance to have you shifting uncomfortably in your easychair. Their heyday came in the '70s where audiences were hungry for a more escapist breed of catastrophe. Our appetite for destruction has hardly waned. In putting together this list, we stuck to the natural definition of 'disasters' – earthquakes and asteroids and, uh, geostorms, rather than rampaging kaiju and invading aliens. Here are 33 classics of the genre that register 11 on the cinematic Richter Scale." - timeout.com
