This TV movie is a guilty pleasure that has decent effects. Its follow-up TV movie [Category 7] is pretty darn cool, too.

I recommend reading the Junger book and watching the movie.
The Poseidon Adventure (Special Edition)The Poseidon Adventure (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $7.54
Haunting survival story that launched the disaster film genre. The Wolfgang Petersen remake has much better FX, but the characters are better in this classic.

This film will make you want to move away from any mountain ranges.

The last half is wasted digging out of disaster, but the 1st half is terrific. You'll have fun watchingLos Angeles gets torn up by mammoth tornadoes.
Aftershock: Earthquake in New YorkAftershock: Earthquake in New York
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.96
Another TV film that isn't half bad and shows off a younger Jennifer Garner. It was a little less scary before 9/11; after that fateful day this movie seemed almost too real.
