Okay, I've been asked to come up with some kind of list and I've been thinking long and hard on this. I'm going to try to come up with five movies on my favorites list for disaster movies. First up in the number five position would be a recent movie I just saw called The Wave on Netflix. It's a foreign film with voice over, but it is a great movie. With Netflix doing the now and not the five star ratings, I could only give it a good . The Wave is set in Norway on one of the Fjords there. A tsunami like wave is created when a rock slide happens, which the movie opened up with some past history of that happening. The main character is a geologist working for a company that watches for those slides so they can warn the people in enough time to get to high ground. I hope you will give this a watch if you are into disaster movies. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the recommendation. There is nothing on TV worth watching besides CNN. Having been to the fjords in Norway, I will watch it!

It's new, I think 2015 but not sure. It's a foreign movie. If you have Netflix it's in the lineup.

I have seen this Valerie and I thought it was very very good. Yes it was in Norway and was quite realistic which I liked.

Yes it was, and that's probably why I liked it. I don't like unrealistic movies.

Not a big fan of disaster movies, but I do remember The Towering Inferno... that was pretty bad. The Titanic just jumped into my mind... don't think that I could watch that one more than once!

Not into disaster movies. Horror, true crime and romance are my favorites. I'm such a romantic.

@just4him ......Not saying the 'work' together. No, not at all. Those are the genres I most enjoy instead of disaster.

I don't know how romance can work together with true crime and horror. I guess you need something light and romantic after all the horrific bloodshed.

Comedies have to be very good for me to like them. I can think of only a handful of great comedies. Maybe that will be my next list.

@just4him most comedies are silly but not funny. I can't think of any at this moment but Madea.

One of the most suspenseful disaster movies I watched was "The towering Inferno"

I've been doing that a lot to movies that sound good and then don't have that factor needed to keep watching. There is one however, I want to go back to. It's also a foreign film, with subtitles - I didn't want to read the whole thing that day, but it does look like a good movie and even a tear jerker by the end.

@just4him I read the synopsis in imdb. I do not mind watching movies in a foreign language as long as there are subtitles.

I hope you like it. You might need to put it into English or another language you understand as it's Norwegian. That's what I needed to do.
