4 out of 5 stars Great, if a bit one-sided!.......2003-03-07

This documentary was originally shown on AMC 2 years ago, made by the same great company that makes all those other cool documentarys like "The Fantasy Worlds Of Irwin Allen", "Lost In Space Forever"and "20th Century Fox:The Blockbuster Years". This details all of the great disaster movies from the silent days to Fox's 1997 Titanic. They neglect the greats from other studios like "San Francisco", but overall this is a really good overview of a neglected genre.
