	Thank you for letting us help out sporcle!

	Does Cloverfield really count as a disaster movie? I mean, it's more alien invasion

	Kicking222:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	8 points
	You know, for "1997, Pierce Brosnan", I'd argue that "Tomorrow Never Dies" was a disaster in and of itself.

	AtomicIce:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	3 points
	Agreed with above comment about Cloverfield. If Cloverfield counts, so should Godzilla (which I guessed).

	MovieDynamic:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	9 points
	Nicolas Cage, no "h".

	AtomicIce:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	2 points
	Knowing was a very depressing movie, IMO.

	scarletoak:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	1 point
	I agree on the Cloverfield part only on account of I tried like 17 other alien invasion movies haha. &73% for Titanic??? I find that hard to believe more people don't know that..

	Spammo:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	15 points
	I'm also a little suspicious of 9/11 movies counting as disaster movies. I'd argue that WTC a much different genre than something ridiculous like Volcano.

	kublai_kahn:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:38 GMT	24 points
	Isn't every Nicolas Cage movie a disaster?

	MovieDynamic:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:41 GMT	14 points
	Mike: Not "Adaptation." or "Matchstick Men" or "Leaving Las Vegas."

	Supernuke:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:42 GMT	4 points
	Yay! One of my clues made it! Yeah I agree about the 9/11 movies though.

	Bees:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:43 GMT	8 points
	Or Raising Arizona

	lznyc212:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:49 GMT	5 points
	Or "Moonstruck" (imho).

	In an effort to avoid disaster, we have removed Cloverfield and added another movie

	danzam:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	16 points
	I saw George C. Scott was the star and I thought his disaster movie was "Football in the Groin".

	mattrd08:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 04:59 GMT	-2 points
	Hey, I got Titanic but on the results it said I didn't. What happened?

	SowCrates:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	2 points
	I only got six right, but when I clicked to see the most missed list, it showed that I guessed the Core and Daylight, but missed Dante's Peak and The Day After Tomorrow, when the opposite was true

	oldkent:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:02 GMT	6 points
	Funny how you could just guess different natural disasters and get several answers. :P

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:04 GMT	2 points
	Yes, the results are showing up wrong for me too. I got several it says I didn't get and didn't get some it says I did.

	Nathan Jones:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:16 GMT	2 points
	Yeah, there's some errors in the results display. Also, "Cloverfield" is still in the quiz and "Airport" shows in the answers but not the clues.

	Journey2688:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:17 GMT	10 points
	Its funny how "Disaster Movie", which truly was a disaster movie, was a bonus answer.

	bean:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:20 GMT	4 points
	to add to the Cage debate above... Lord of War was pretty good..

	mungar:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 05:35 GMT	4 points
	Only 4.6% got the picture for the quiz lol

	by the looks of some of the films that made this list, this proves to be one of the most ironic of sporcle quizzes.

	beanheadmcginty:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	6 points
	Armageddon outta here...

	fatbeard:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 07:23 GMT	2 points
	My point was that when sporcle asked for suggestions, they said to leave out Alien Invasion type movies, and that is most definitely what Cloverfield is, so it doesn't belong

	starjumper:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 09:06 GMT	0 points
	Daylight was included but Hard Rain wasn't?

	RichN95:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 09:29 GMT	13 points
	It's a pity Airplane! didn't make the list

	OK, why all the hatred of the amazing actor Nicolas Cage? The guy does a hell of a job. Con Air, Next, Nat. Treasure 1 + 2, Gone in 60 seconds, The Rock (With the immortal Sean Connery), Ghost Rider, and plenty more I'm forgetting.

	Vernon Gonsalves:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 11:23 GMT	10 points
	I personally like how Nicolas Cage is misspelt directly under where it's spelt correctly. LOL

	Peanut:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 11:25 GMT	2 points
	Finally my Dad's love for terrible 1970s disaster films came back to help me :P

	spurtle:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 11:47 GMT	3 points
	I was thinking the disaster movie for George Clooney was Batman And Robin.

	bmo1616:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 12:11 GMT	1 point
	Not that this was the greatest movie in the world, but when you think of disasters, where's Pearl Harbor?

	lulubelles:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT	4 points
	Joe Grizzly: You forgot Face off, I love that film

	el_barto:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 12:45 GMT	3 points
	I kept trying Rocky V for the Stallone reference.

	kthejoker:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 13:20 GMT	3 points
	I don't think that Jane Fonda movie really qualifies as a disaster movie. Nothing actually happens as in the other movies. Might as well include all movies everywhere where disaster / terrorism looms but fails to occur.

	lol @ The Core
