Anything that destroys Washington DC is a good thing in my opinion.
ITA...that movie totally freaked me out. I even read an article in Scientific American that said that was an extremely accurate portrayal of what would unfold.
Col. Andy Tanner: ...The Russians need to take us in one piece, and that's why they're here. That's why they won't use nukes anymore; and we won't either, not on our own soil. The whole damn thing's pretty conventional now. Who knows? Maybe next week will be swords. Darryl Bates: What started it? Col. Andy Tanner: I don't know. Two toughest kids on the block, I guess. Sooner or later, they're gonna fight. Jed Eckert: That simple, is it? Col. Andy Tanner: Or maybe somebody just forget what it was like. Jed Eckert: ...Well, who *is* on our side? Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen. Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen. Col. Andy Tanner: There *were*.

Red Dawn
Dunno if Red Dawn (1984) would count as a disaster movie?
It at least is a Post Apocalyptic* movie.
Quote:
*Apocalyptic fiction is a sub-genre of science fiction (or, in some cases, the more general category speculative fiction) that is concerned with the end of civilization through nuclear war, plague, or some other general disaster. Post-apocalyptic fiction is set in a world or civilization after such a disaster.
(...)
Post-apocalyptic stories often take place in an agrarian, non-technological future world, or a world where only scattered elements of technology remain.
I used to love Poseiden Adventure and would watch it everytime it was on tv when I was a kid. Didn't care much for the remake.
I loved The Day After....lots of action and cool special effects!
Miracle Mile. Or, the script for Miracle Mile; the finished product was not good. If I could remake any movie that's the one I would choose.
Towering Inferno! Awfulest death scene: Robert Wagner and that woman from Days of Our Lives, Susan something, emerging from their trysting place only to find smoke trickling in under the door...

"Deep Impact."
Their timeline was more realistic than other Doomsday Movies.
But, I didn't see "Independence Day" mentioned. Too campy?
