The Towering Inferno (1974)

IMDB

Synopsis:
"The Towering Inferno," one in a string of disaster movies of the 1970s, was promoted as a tribute to firefighters and their heroic work. It was also among the highest-grossing box office draws of the mid-1970s. The finishing touches have just been made to the Glass Tower, a 138-story skyscraper in the heart of San Francisco. A huge celebratory gala, complete with VIP guests, has been planned to celebrate the dedication of what has been promoted as the world's tallest building. But the building's architect, Doug Roberts, suspects all is not right with the building. The contractors have used shoddy wiring, not the heavy-duty wiring he had specified. The overworked wiring develops short circuits, coincidentally enough during the height of the celebratory extravaganza; it isn't long before the Glass Tower becomes a huge towering inferno.

Yeah, brings to mind a couple of those disaster/group of people fighting mother nature. Maybe early 80's too.

What was the name of the one with the volcano on hawaii?
And also the one where a group of people were trying to make their way through a cavern?

Ah, it'll eat at me till I find out...

But what was the one with the people going into a big ship that's upside down, and sinking, to find some gold in a safe or something...?

A really good movie indeed!
But I wouldn't call it drama, it's a catastrophe/disaster/action movie.

<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078856/" target=blank>Beyond the Poseidon Adventure</a>

you can try type all that in the title and see how far you get

i can try drama/disaster... if it fits it will be fixed with that....

hmmm... wadajasay? worth making the effort?

Not bad!

Watched this yesterday.

Although I was initially turned off by it's long runtime (I mean, how long can it take for a building to burn??), but found it quite rewarding actually. Good acting, some rather intense moments and very well made effects makes it a winner. Exept some obvious blue-screen shots, I really couldn't tell how it was made. It sure as hell didn't look like models.

Wonder if the movies about 9-11 will be better?
