I think scale plays a big part in defining a Disaster Film. Towering Inferno counts.
Alien (the first one), is famously an "Old Dark House" variant in outer space. So a horror movie, not a Disaster flick.
I'd imagine that the more fantastic the peril, the less it becomes a Disaster Movie. Perhaps the peril must be elemental: Earth, Air, Fire, Water...
