You done the classics? Airport, Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake.
2012 - flood!
The day after tomorrow - everything freezes!
Wandering Earth - totally over the top!
The Wave and it's sequel The Quake (Norvegian movies, a great example how to make a great disaster movie on a small budget).
San Andreas - not too bad.
Deep Impact - old and special effects are dated now but still pretty good.
And of course, Titanic.

Crawl was decent if you're looking for a recent one.

San Andreas. I mean it has The Rock and Alexandra Mammario.

Greenland just came out and I've heard good things about it.
otherwise my go-to is day after tomorrow. (Or ID4 if alien invasions count.)
deep impact Armageddon is also a good one. Volcano has a cheesy 90's vibe. Or twister for that matter. The perfect storm I've heard is also a good one.

I've seen them all. Good ones.
I recently watched Greenland with Gerard Butler. Thought it was gonna be trash but it's actually pretty decent.

The Wandering Earth, awesome Chinese movie on Netflix full of CGI, destruction and Weta Workshop wonders
Geostorm is underrated, you get three movies for the price of one (disaster, Gravity clone and Tom Clancy thriller)

War of the Worlds, the Spielberg version. People hate on it, but I liked it, one of my favorite Spielberg movies.

Crawl had a good premise and the alligator CGI was cool, but it was crazy how much the female lead could withstand (including gator bites) while minor characters were killed off easily. I understand wanting to keep the movie interesting, but they went too far imo. Normally you avoid this by introducing several main characters and killing them off one by one.Crawl was decent if you're looking for a recent one.
Deep Impact is probably still one of the best disaster movies even if it has some cheesy scenes. I also like going back to Cloverfield and Twister. The Wave is a pretty good Norwegian tsunami flick. Melancholia may be tough to watch as a whole, but it has several great scenes.

Yeah, I quite liked it too. Pretty fun movie. When I hear weird noises in the hills here, I always assume one of those damn pods are going to come over the hill and I'm going to freak the fuck out.

Just wait till after Covid-19, they will still find some doom & gloom to bombard you with each day, they know this is what sells. Part of why I successfully managed to ban daily news at home.

I think 2012 is peak disaster comedy. I love that movie so much, it is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. Yuri-bear is the best character in the movie by far

Me too and that was one of my best decisions ever. I feel so much less hate and terror without having to think about all the shit going on in the world. It's not only what's happening but also how it's communicated.

It's on netflix. Underrated tbh.

The premise alone gives me a proper headache and steers me away from watching it. Disaster movies went with various crazy scenarios in the past, but this has to be one of the craziest ones.

The Day After Tomorrow.
Great cast. A bit unrealistic in parts, but it's a disaster movie so I wouldn't expect anything else.

The 2006 Wicker Man remake with Nic Cage is a 10/10 comedy masquerading as a 1/10 Horro movie
