The 25 Greatest Disaster Movies of All Time

The disaster movie is one of cinema's oldest genres: There were films about Pompeii and burning buildings in the very early days of movies. (One of the very first narrative short films was Edwin Porter's Life of an American Fireman, from 1903.) Maybe that's because film is the one art form that can do proper justice to this sort of spectacle: You can't re-create it onstage, and who wants to read about a disaster when they can see it?
