  I love this film. It's all the climate change, at once! It's coming for you, the day after tomorrow. It's a cheesy good time, with Roland Emmerich at his disaster movie best.

• The Perfect Storm

  Add The Perfect Storm to your for later shelf

  Hands down, my favorite disaster movie. There's just nothing as terrifying as ocean vs. man. And it's one small fishing boat against, well, the perfect storm.

• Survival Collection

  Twister, Perfect Storm, Poseidon, Outbreak

  Add Survival Collection to your for later shelf

  No disaster movie list would be complete without Twister, and lucky for you Perfect Storm is also in this bundle. So two for one, or actually four awesome films for one. Check it out!

• The Shallows

  A top tier shark movie! Blake Lively is really good as a surfer who's stranded in the ocean as a shark circles.

• Binge Box. Don't Go in the Water

  Add Binge Box. Don't Go in the Water to your for later shelf

  This BInge Box has many a terrifying aquatic misadventure under it's belt, including the iconic Jaws. And The Shallows is also included in this film collection, so it's another two for one deal.

• Underwater

  Add Underwater to your for later shelf

  Yet another example of why the ocean is terrifying. Yes, things can go wrong anywhere, but I cannot think of a more unforgiving place for that to happen. A drilling team thinks they've been hit by a earthquake. The reality is much worse.

• Binge Box. Please Give Leo a Break

  Add Binge Box. Please Give Leo a Break to your for later shelf

  Titanic is probably the most famous and successful disaster movie, but that's not the only tragedy in this box. As the title suggests, you can also watch Leonardo DiCaprio suffer in The Revenant, Shutter island, and The Basketball Diaries.

• Contagion

  Add Contagion to your for later shelf

  Perhaps the most realistic disaster movie on this list, it was certainly rewatched countless times in 2020. It's still worth watching now, though it may give you a serious case of déjà vu.

• 127 Hours

  Add 127 Hours to your for later shelf

  Actually, this is the most realistic disaster movie. It did happen. An experienced mountain climber makes a rookie mistake; he doesn't tell anyone where he's going. Then he gets trapped by a boulder. No one knows to rescue him, so somehow…Read moreRead more of this annotation

• Binge Box. My Favorite President

  Add Binge Box. My Favorite President to your for later shelf

  Independence Day! One of the classic disaster movies and it features the most popular fictional president. Definitely recommend, and make sure to enjoy the other action packed films included in this box.

• Binge Box. The Choice Is a No Brainer

  Add Binge Box. The Choice Is a No Brainer to your for later shelf

  What is a zombie outbreak, but a really really bad disaster of the brain eating kind? One of my personal favorites, Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, is on here, but so is a bunch of other cool films. Including Shaun of the Dead.

• The Martian

  Add The Martian to your for later shelf

  A disaster, in spaceee! An astronaut is left behind when a mission goes awry. He's assumed dead, but he's actually still alive. And now, he has to figure out how to survive on Mars until he can be rescued. Science is the solution!

• Armageddon

  Add Armageddon to your for later shelf

  Another space crisis, a space jam if you will. Something, something, blow up a meteor before it hits Earth or something. Plot? Don't worry about it, there's Aerosmith.
