Well, TIS, the author of the article provided himself with the broadest interpretation of disaster films. But I agree with his definitions: not just mega-effects films, but those that imply disaster (like "On the Beach").
I'm an old-timer: I like the original "War of the Worlds," and "Godzilla."


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
