Must echo, the original Airport was not a disaster film. It was a soapoperatic melodrama that may have inspired the genre to come ... the first (and best) of which was The Poseidon Adventure. Both films are very decent peices of work (Airport was nominated for Best Picture if I'm not mistaken). Their followers were pretty much pure schlock. Earthquake, in particular, is practically unwatchable - postapocalypto Heston notwithstanding.
