One: '2012'

In 2009, writer and director Roland Emmerich brought to the audience the apocalyptic sci-fi disaster movie '2012'. The movie follows geologist Adrian Helmsley (Ejiofor) and novelist Jackson Curtis (Cusack) through a natural disaster.

Two: 'Doomsday Crash'

He witnesses a massive earthquake caused by the San Andreas Fault, which absolutely destroys San Francisco and Los Angeles. He and his wife try to rescue their daughter Blake (Daddario), who is trapped in San Francisco, which has been hit by a series of earthquakes.

Three: 'Independence Day'

Getting away from natural disasters for a moment, let's take a look at 'Independence Day,' the iconic movie about an alien invasion of Earth. Starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum, "Independence Day" was released in 1996 and was a box office hit. The king of disaster movies, Roland Emmerich, is back as director of this alien disaster story.

Four: "War of the Worlds"

Science fiction legend Steven Spielberg directed "War of the Worlds," based on the H.G. Wells novel of the same name, starring Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning. Cruise plays crane operator Ray Ferrier, who tries to keep his daughter safe as aliens attack and try to de-terraform Earth.

While "Independence Day" showcased alien attacks on a global stage, "War of the Worlds" is a more intimate story about how far a father will go to protect his daughter. When a tripod of aliens captures his daughter, Ray even allows himself to be captured by them in hopes that he can save her.

Five: "A Prophet"

While this movie isn't a traditional disaster movie like "2012," it does show a world coming to an end, and it features aliens who choose to save John's son and Diana's daughter.

The movie ends with a solar flare destroying life as we know it, and the two children are sent to heaven as the last remaining members of the human race. The mystery surrounding these figures is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, and the destruction of the planet fits right in with the theme of a disaster movie.

Six: "Poseidon"

Wolfgang Petersen's natural disaster movie "Poseidon," released in 2006, is based on Paul Gallico's (1969 novel "The Adventures of Poseidon," in which Robert Ramsey (Josh Lucas) travels to New York aboard the luxury cruise ship Poseidon.

He is accompanied by his daughter Jennifer (Amy Rossum) and her fiancé. Unfortunately, a massive wave hits and capsizes the ship, turning the cruising vacation into a terrifying battle for survival.

Seven: "Greenland"

Released in 2020, "Greenland" follows a comet that is threatening to hit the Earth, just as it did in the movie "Deep Impact. However, in "Greenland," civilians seem to be randomly selected to be taken to a shelter and await the comet's impact, which aligns it with the arc in "2012."

Eight: "The Tornado"

In 1996, Jane de Bont directed the now-classic disaster movie "The Tornado". Starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, "Tornado" gave audiences a behind-the-scenes look at what life is like for storm chasers.

Never before has a movie about the weather been so compelling. With its stunning visuals (at the time), "Tornado" took us on a whirlwind ride, which translated into major box office numbers.

Nine: "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

Director Scott Derrickson's 2008 "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is a modern update of the 1951 film of the same name.

The film introduces the alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), who has been sent to Earth in order to destroy humanity or change its behavior." The Day the Earth Stood Still is an interesting concept that looks at how humans have caused so much environmental damage to the planet. Klaatu's species believes that humans must be stopped by any means necessary.

Ten: 'World War Z'

This list has already seen aliens, meteors and natural disasters. So it's about time our favorite disaster movies (like "2012") included zombies.
