1. Armageddon
2. War of the Worlds (2005)
3. Deep Impact
4. Knowing

I'd have to add Deep Impact and Independence Day in place of I-Robot and Signs.

I don't consider either of them to be "disaster movies." MAYBE Signs.

I go for the classics like Airport,Earthquake,Poseidon Adventure and Towering Inferno and Krakatoa East Of Java.

[Chordata]

Duh, I have to add Titanic, too.

So my 5 are, in no particular order:

1. Titanic
2. Independence Day
3. Day after Tomorrow
4. Deep Impact
5. War of the Worlds

[surfdude12]

only two I truly loved:

28 Days later
Dawn of the Dead

others that were okay:
Day after Tomorrow
Perfect Storm

1) I removed Armageddon and replaced it with Day After Tomorrow; and

2) I do not mean the 50's version since I've never seen it.

+1, all good movies - except for the last one, never heard of/saw but the title alone suggests Disaster!

Might be a good place to start with these 5 for MORE RECENT Titles anyway. Above with AIRPORT, POSEIDON ADVENTURE, TOWERING INFERNO, all great for their time Disaster Movies.

Perfect Storm, just a diaster at sea movie for that boat really. When I think of DISASTER MOVIE, "Day After Tomorrow" definitely fits the bill. Think, worldwide destruction, like the 2-4 titles in O_V_N's post. TITANIC is a Disaster movie yes, but just one ship. Yes, I know, Airport, Poseidon Adv., T. Inferno were all specific to one specific disaster or location.

So, my list would be these, in no particular order:
War Of The Worlds
The Day After Tomorrow
Independence Day
Armageddon
Towering Inferno/Poseidon Adventure
(Can't leave these 2 1970's Classics off, so I put them as One!)

Now Dawn of The Dead is not a disaster flick though.

That was my point exactly, and he told me to "look it up". LOL

I don't need wikipedia to tell me if something is a disaster movie.

"Krakatoa East Of Java" is volcano disaster film from the 60's, it starred Brian Keith,Maximillian Schell,Diane Baker,Rosano Brazzi and Sal Mineo, the OOP Anchor Bay DVD(the one I have) has a beautiful widescreen transfer but is non-anamorphic,it was also released by Simitar(also OOP) in the wrong widescreen aspect ratio,avoid that release!
