The holy trinity of The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, and The Towering Inferno reign supreme for reasons that have much to do with their hammy star casts, sprawling narratives, and varying degrees of special effects. The latest installment of the Carreón Cinema Club: "It's a Disaster" Edition spotlights five films that either embrace the camp or offer a more grounded reality to the term "disaster."

1. The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) -- Directed by Val Guest
2. Threads (1984) -- Directed by Mick Jackson
3. The Swarm (1978) -- Directed by Irwin Allen
4. Airport (1970) -- Directed by George Seaton
5. Greenland (2020) -- Directed by Ric Roman Waugh
