Dramas where a natural disaster is only part of the action
I am firmly convinced that disaster flicks have an inherent flaw, and for that reason cannot be good. That flaw is the fact that a disaster is the principal character in such a movie, while people act principally as victims, fodder. Heroes in such movies tend to be cardboard. And the only thing the viewer is really interested in is "will this or that hero survive or not"? (And it's a no-brainer, too, because usually the characters played by the top-billed actos survive in such flicks.)
Well, for that reason I prefer "normal" dramas, where a disaster is only part of the action (and not a very big one), contributing to people's choices and/or destinies, not determining them altogether. Once again, I concentrate in my list on Hollywood films of the 1930s to 1950s.
