Steve Mcqueen and Paul Newman trying to save a burning skyscraper that'll do me. I love a disaster movie and this is one of the originals and best. Both leads are heroic and wonderful and the supporting players are like a who's who of old hollywood (Fred Astaire and O.J. appear). The effects still hold up, and it's full of peril and adventure. It's long but the time flies so just enjoy the ride.
Like This Watch These: The Poseidon Adventure (1972) Peril at sea, Airport (1970) This kicked off the disaster trend, Airplane! (1980) And this took the piss out of it, brilliantly.
