Amen! I love Irwin Allen disaster flicks (although I loathe any other disaster flick- they wig me out)!

I love the Poseidon Adventure & have seen it many a time. Great movie! The sequel? My boyfriend loved it (he's never seen the original). I wanted to puke. It literally made my stomach turn. Zero storyline, but lots of gruesome special effects sequences. It just sucked harder then, well, me on my boyfriend & I's anniversary night.

The Towering Inferno was also awesome. I have both that & Poseidon on DVD. Inferno scared me, though (I've always feared fire since I was a little girl). The one low point? It stars O.J. as the loveable security guard who, in the end, rescues a baby kitten. Yay for rescuing the kitten, nay for being a cold-blooded murderer, you a*hole. Notice all angry roads lead to O.J. for me?

In the end, it's all nothing more then opinion. Have I seen most of the movies on that list? Nope. But then, I'm a TV freak who also loves to read. I'm not too big on goin' to the movies.
