Twister will always be #1 on my list. It has everything a movie needs. A hero you love (Bill Paxton) and a protagonist you hate (Jonas Miller), plus tons of heart-pounding action!
. I loved PSH as Dusty, "Losers! Move on!" And Jo's aunt in Wakita."Did you see my cow's out front?" 😂 This movie has so many great one-liners!
But what I love the most is how the real storm chasers honored Bill Paxton when he he died from post-surgical complications. Nearly 200 storm chasers paid tribute on Sunday, Feb 26, 2017, to the late actor Bill Paxton by spelling out his initials using GPS coordinates on a map depicting the heart of Tornado Alley. It was centered around the real Wakita and took two hours to organize with the help of Daniel Shaw, a veteran storm chaser from Australia who created a Google Map with the coordinates needed to spell out the tribute. Storm chasers were able to participate from around the world by plugging in coordinates to match those needed to spell out Paxton's initials — BP.
If you have not yet looked this up, please do so. I balled like a baby at the respect shown in this tribute to a beloved actor who only portrayed a storm chaser.
Also, look up the "Twister Effect." If you love this flick, you'll be extra proud of its effect on the world of academia.

I still love The Perfect Storm! It happened when I was 11 and remember watching it on the news. Dante's Peak, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Volcano, Earthquake, and Deep Impact are some of my favorites, but Twister will always be my favorite!
16:37 this movie is the least creepy and the most boring horror movie I’ve ever seen in my life.
How is Titanic not on here.
I love 2012, have watched it more than 20 times😊
I like natural disaster movies. It brings me back to reality in a weird way
Flood
The Poseidon Adventure is the reason I never felt the urge to go on a cruise!
greenlasnd and armageddon deserves a place in here
Day after tomorrow better than 2012?? I like all 20 Movies on this List. But i would rate Everest and 2012 higher❤ And i agree Twister and Greenland have to be on that list too..I like Moonfall but i would give him the last place😂
The only one i ever took seriously was Deep Impact… probably because it was the very first i ever saw
Btw …watchMojo lists are the dumbest shit ever 😂😂😂
The Impossible is amazing! It seemed so lifelike that my husband left the room and would not watch it.
Dantes Peak scared the absolute hell out of me as a kid. Accurate or not, that acid lake was so scary.
12:00 the fault can not do 9 only to 8 in real one deer in ocean like chile and USA and Canada it next one this in Canada we are due this year.
Thought Greenland would’ve been in there.
I love disaster movies, except the core. I won't watch it, the trailer had me laughing so hard. I don't need to watch it for a good laugh. Armageddon is just as bad.
These are some really good picks. I watched almost all of these, some more than once. Really great picks!!
Dante's Peak was one of my old favorites. What happened to the grandmother was just shocking.
I thought MOJO just lost your MOJO with that Moonfall thing. HAHAHAH
my hubby is watching everest right now as i type.
Fun fact: “the Birds” was partly influenced by a real situation that happened in 1961 in Capitola, California. Birds truly did go crazy, but it was later discovered there was a reason why: Toxic algae that formed. It got into the fish, and when the birds ate the fish, the algae poison them.
I watched the original Poseidon movie, I still like the remake more
This list PMO not bc it isnt good to the contrary its great. And unfortunately even though my media library contains over 2k Anime and Films, sniff sniff I dont have many of these films in my collection, Lol.
I’ve seen The Day After Tomorrow. I thought it was a really good movie. Crazy seeing basically every natural disaster that could possibly happen happen but they did it in a pretty believable way making it even more terrifying
I watched The Impossible for the first time about a year ago. My mom showed it to my sister and I. It was so good! And the fact that it’s based on a real life family is incredible. It was interesting that the whole movie is mainly just one family and watching them trying to find each other. But the miraculously they do.
Dear god why is Knowing on here?? 😂
Seriously, all these shows and "Don't Look up" doesn't even get an honourable mention?
I wouldve put into the storm on the list
The acid-lake scene in Dante's Inferno did for me. Traumatize is way too strong a word, but that scene upset me as a kid. I was really close to my grandma and watched it WITH her when I was about 7. I found it scary when the boat started dissolving because of the acid in the water, but it upset me when the grandmother jumped in the water and pushed the boat the the pier/shore to save the rest of them. Like, I know it was all her fault in the first place, but still.
No Armageddon? Shame
Man, I've seen almost all of these. Could you do a part 2? 😊
20 years and i'm still scarred by dante's peak and that godsdamned lake.
as for the day after tomorrow, spectacular movie ut i became numb to it very quickly as my science teacher played it twice a month for 2-3 years in high school xD
twister is my all time fave and has been since it came out.
Hahaha! Just kidding! #1
I love Knowing… Idc what anyone elsw thinks. 😁
Only the Bees and Ant movies gave me nightmares.
I refuse to watch allegator movies.
Don't forget "Two days before the day after tomorrow." Classic episode.
So they showed Volcano early and I was thinking for sure that they'd mention Donte's Inferno during it. They don't. I tell myself how dumb I am to even have that thought. 2 spots later they show Donte's Inferno and I remind myself how awesome I am.
Edit: Donte's Peak, I feel dumb again.
I like the movie Moonfall, Outrageous and crazy but definitely a good movie💯💯
13:35 speaking of which! It had a hydrothermal eruption recently!
DO NOT PANIC all that means is that water got superheated and exploded outwards
In The Core
Slow down the scene frame by frame where the pigeons are crashing into the windows… a fish slams into the window. It was slipped in by the FX crew to see if anyone would notice
