Which is the best disaster movie and why it is Dante's peak?

>>213340502 (OP)
Where in America do cozy little mountain towns like this exist?

>>213340883
The mountains

>>213340883
A lot more states than you think. Vermont, maine, new hampshire, upstate new york, tennessee, west virginia, pennsylvania, oregon, washington, idaho, colorado, even california

>>213340954
Which of these states have the most temperate climate? (not too hot, not too cold)

>>213340883
Washington and Oregon

>>213341104
None, cozy towns are usually cold

>>213341104
why do you want a mountain town with moderate climate. The whole charm and coziness of this places is the cold and the snow

>>213340883
PNW and new england mostly
there's a few hidden in california that i quite like

>>213340883
In the mountains

>>213340883
North-Western and New England mountains

>>213341229
>>213341266
When you say cold, what do you mean in terms of average winter day temperature? Anything below 20f is punishing for me.

By Hollywood movie standards, it's a pretty realistic depiction of a volcanic eruption and it doesn't introduce any cheesy plotline depicting the volcano as a "villain" to be "defeated", just a force of nature to be survived. Compare Volcano, the other 1997 volcano film, which does all that as well as dispensing with any sort of connection to reality. It's easy to come up with a silly movie threat, it's more engaging to show a fairly realistic natural force and show characters trying to survive it.

I like Daylight.

>>213341562
Volcano had that useless girl which was a major annoyance.

>>213341586
Daylight is a hidden disaster-kino gem.

>>213341522
often well below 0 and will feel colder because mountains are windy

I never understood the point of disaster movies. They all look so stupid.

>>213340502 (OP)
This and Day after tomorrow

>>213341522
Like anon said. Mountain towns are windy because 9f the Mountains and open planes like Montana are windy also... coastal cities are also windy

>>213341562
this

>>213342929
>resting bitch face
no thanks

>>213340502 (OP)
is this the movie where the guy in a train carries a kid, jumps into the java and throw the kid to safety? yeah i like that movie

>>213340954
the landscapes are nice, sure, but none of those places can compare with the variety that cities like philadelphia, new orleans or seattle can offer

>>213342929
Wear 8 pounds of makeup?

>>213340502 (OP)
2012

/ thread

>>213340883
anywhere near mountains

>>213341104
California

>>213345423
No, that's Volcano. Terrible movie.

>>213347548
how's Dante's Peak better then?

>>213347627
There's no ridiculous melodrama for starters, and the volcanic eruption is pretty realistic instead of completely silly.

>>213340502 (OP)
Great CGI for 1997 movie

>>213340883
Down the hall and to the left.

>>213340883
In West Virginia except with more meth and fent

>>213341522
Just get a good coat and a hat and gloves. Cold is better than endless heat

>>213341522
Cold is awesome. Keeps you fresh and sharp and gets you going. Also makes appreciate the warmth coziness of home.

>>213347627
no obnoxious anti racism messaging throughout the film

>>213340502 (OP)
man ive seen that so many times, always felt bad for his boss as he got washed away

>>213348220
The effects were so great that volcanologists thought that they were using high res, high def stock-footage but everything was either CGI or practical effects.

>>213349518
Yeah cold is great and all until the 10th day in a row I find myself digging my car out of snow, hydroplaning all the way to work and then back, only to get warm for a few hours before repeating it all over again.

I've grown to appreciate heat a lot more, so long as it's not too humid. Only pasty neets who snuggle up next to a space heater while playing video games in their mom's basement enjoy the cold after a certain point.

>catching these being aired late at night when you were a kid and all you had was a dingy little crt tv with an antenna
I wish I could be so easy to please again.

>>213340502 (OP)
The original Twister is still great, too. Same with The Day After Tomorrow, The Core, and Armageddon.

>>213349594
for me, its the granny

>>213341104
Mountains disrupt air currents causing wild changes in temperature. At this proximity you are also losing hours of daylight.
Large bodies of water hold temperature.
There is only a small section of California that meets these criteria.

>>213349518
Cold means women never dress in anything attractive and people always isolate themselves inside.
Not dying becomes a major expense, which affects the cost of everything else as other people also need to pay it.
I know you don't understand this but going outside becomes actually physically painful and immediately life threatening on the order of minutes.
There are no parks or beaches or outside malls where people gather because they would be unuseable most of the year.
To mitigate the danger of driving in the cold, chemicals are used on roads which destroy vehicles.
Nothing grows here so food is all imported, making it poor quality and expensive.
Sunlight hours are greatly limited, even when the sun is out it is not hot enough to burn off the permanent grey haze in the sky.
Summer is not hot long enough to warm bodies of water, so they are still too cold to enjoy swimming in.

Geographically, Canada is the worst place on earth that people live. The only thing it had in its favor was white people and that is over. The people still coming here are the stupidest on earth.

>>213350388

The Core is absolute shit.

>>213350388
also Armageddon

Disaster movies usually use the disaster as a trojan horse for boring character drama that the only ending they can come up with for is character(s) dies.
The Day After Tomorrow is more fun than others. Everything in it is so completely retarded that you don't take it seriously.

Deep Impact > Armageddon
Dante's Peak > Volcano

28 Days Later, Cloverfield, Interstellar, Knowing, Melancholia, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, The Stand 1994, Titanic, Twister, Waterworld

>>213340883
looks like towns South Dakota

>>213340883
roscoe newyork, machias maine

>>213350388
Original Twister is hurt by the cheesy romance story, it's just bad and distracts from the fun tornado scenes. The Core is garbage.

>>213350388
The core doesn't fit. It's not a natural disaster, like a volcano, or tornado, asteroid etc

>>213353187
>machias maine
What an adorable little town, looks like something on a postcard.

>>213340502 (OP)
Pic related is pretty great. I also have a soft spot for the old Poseidon Adventure

What's my opinion on the 2012 and San Andreas films?

>>213354475
Garbage I hope

>>213354475
2012 is kino, San Andreas is a dull vehicle for a dull movie star
