Armageddon

The Towering Inferno Vs. The Day after Tomorrow

Outbreak Vs.
The Posiedon Adventure


Haven't seen The Towering Inferno, so alas it is The Day After Tomorrow for me, apologies if The Towering Inferno is the greatest thing since sliced bread :)

Every last copy of Titanic should be rounded up put in a big pile and ceremonially burnt, so the world is purified of it's evil. So it is Armageddon for me on that one.

Tengen, you need to embolden your choices.

In future if you use the "reply" or the "go advanced" function the posting and formatting options will appear for you. Or to do it in the quick reply box use the HTML codes for Bold.

No bother mate. I was faffing about with the font and size stuff when I was posting so it may have been set to a smaller size which may be why.

Twister Vs. Deep Impact

Titanic Vs. Armageddon (Easy one, Titanic is rubbish and Armageddon was excellent)

The Towering Inferno Vs. The Day after Tomorrow (saw as a young girl and caused one of my phobias)

Outbreak Vs. The Posiedon Adventure (not managed to watch the Posiedon Adventure all the way through and outbreak was excellent. Also one of my favourite actors was in it)

The Posiedon Adventure Vs. Twister I'm assuming that Posiedon is the 1972 original and not the recent remake?

Armageddon Vs. The Day After Tomorrow - Not seen either but Armageddon gave Aerosmith their biggest hit to date so...

Yes it is the original with Gene Hackman the remake was just called Posiedon. No 'The' or even 'Adventure'

TWISTER V Deep Impact - Deep Impact was always a poor man's Armageddon.

ARMAGEDDON V The Day After Tomorrow - TDAT was a good idea but I just never enjoyed it, I think because I never saw it on the big screen.

As a foot-note I think it's a reflection on the genre that I've made my choices on what I dont like as opposed to what I enjoyed.

I always thought that if they combined the first half of Armageddon with the second half of DI thye would have had a near perfect movie.

True. I did like the lack of a totally happy ending in DI (does that make me evil?!)

Twister Vs. Armageddon - yes i know armageddon had a gr8 theme song and chunks of the usa got hit by asteriods BUT Twister is my fav because it was more believable and there moments where its was brilliant.

Twister Vs. Armageddon

I really enjoyed Twister, but I found Armageddon to be a little bit too 'America Saves The Day Again' for my liking.

Same here. Twister was very well made without being "in your face". I enjoyed Armaggedon but Twister was a better all round film.

Twister v Armaggedon
