The Last Winter is a little know scifi/horror in which Nature attacks as the Artic region has warmed and some unknown pathogen makes the driller go insane. It is very creepy and doesn't feel the need to spoon feed the viewer.

Dante's Peak is a film about a Mt. Saint Helens type volcanic explosion in which a scientist is so concerned his superior is leaping to conclusion, bt unfortunantly he's right. It has an old school romance in it too. It's one you could watch and cuddle with sweetheart and she won't mind another guy film.

Supervolcano is a BBC production made like a docudrama where Yellowstone blows and wrecks havoc causing immense dust and acid to form, but eventually causes global cooling and ruins agriculture globally.

Night of the comet.

lots of norwegian stuff is really good, and the scenery nice too

Not a natural disaster, but whatever happened is intentionally unclear, most likely nuclear. Z for Zachariah is a favorite little known Margot Robbie Chris Pine film in which three survivors happen to intersect on her parent's farm. She is such an unusual character as she's a ground kind Christian country girl, a bit naive and trusting two men, neither of whom should probably be trusted.

She's so naturaly lovely in it versus being glamorous. It's a touching film as she trusts people regardless and tries to help them in a broken world where it's foolish tohelp, but the right thing to do.

Here's the trailer. I could watch that film practically every week as it's so unlike a Hollyweird movie. It's more how seventies once were.

Here's another little known film that starts out as a disaster film. Without Warning is a tv docudrama where incoming meteorites are detected and then when some strike, some enter a trance and start saying things. It's made to slowly unfold and the characters realize aliens have arrived.

There is panic as some presume it's an attack and launch a first strike. So they do take our some "craft", and then suddenly hundreds attack presumabky as we do first, though it's unclear as their intent may have been hostile.

Ut's quite good given a small budget.

Even though it's ridiculous from a scientific standpoint The Day After Tomorrow is worth watching as it's old school film where people act nobly in the face of danger when it would be far easier to be selfish. Thus that alone makes it worth seeing. Practically everyone rises the occasion. You know how Americans once acted.

The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)
This is an excellent but forgotten scifi classic at a time when most were schlock. The Earth has cracked due to the USA and USSR simultaneously doing nuclear bomb testing, thus doomed. It stars the quite lovely Janet Munro. Made on a shoestring, but really is an essential disaster film.

The Last Man on Earth (1964)
This was later made into The Omega Man and then I am Legend, but has it's own charm as Robert Neville is the last man left and spends his days burying an endless amout of newly dead, and every night they try to break in. His situation is hopeless as he has food but why go on? Somehow despite the nihilistic tone, he hangs in there when most would just quit.

It's an oddity as usually Vincent Price made bad films, or ones I disliked, yet he's very human and plays against type.

They also screwed up on the copyright so it can be seen in many different ways.

ooops seen you mentioned series

not 'natural disaster' but the tv series Jericho is phenomenal!

as is the ORIGINAL mini series of V,,, not the remake, the one from the late 80s/90s

i;ve seen them both.. but 'V' might be worth a rewatch ..its probably been 15 years..

Turns out petroleum is created through a chemical process all the time... rather than taking millions of years to recycle forests and dinosaurs..

One day, in the future,after a century of clean energy (solar, wind etc..) Oceans of petroleum starts ejecting out of the ground through geysers in densely populated urban centers...

Turns out the earth needed to be milked ....

everyone turns into a satanist and we eat god????

I haven't seen this in ages, but it was a blockbuster when it came out in the 70's.

They had this gimmick where they made the theater vibrate when the earthquake happened in the movie, so the audience could feel like they were experiencing the earthquake too.
