St. Helens (1981)

Stereotypical but amusing retelling of the Mount St. Helens eruption, spiced up with country music, checkered shirts and not-so-special effects.

Ice Twisters (2009)

Made-for-TV movie featuring twisters, awful dialogue and a plot that is unusually stupid even for a disaster movie.

Asteroid (1997)

Annabella Sciorra and Michael Biehn star in this technically well-made but generic TV movie, which is let down by a boring finale.

Unstoppable (2010)

Paper-thin plot, good-looking execution. Tony Scott’s latest film is passable as mindless entertainment.

Outbreak (1995)

Dustin Hoffman fights a horrible killer virus and a cartoon villain in this quite entertaining pandemic thriller.

Fire! (1977)

Ernest Borgnine stars in this entertaining, Irwin Allen-produced TV movie that offers grisly deaths, lots of fire and a helping of low-budget cheese.

Flood! (1976)

“Master of Disaster” Irwin Allen brings his disaster movie formula to the small screen.
