The disaster film genre came to major prominence in the 1970s, with Airport, The Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno and Earthquake. In fact, disaster films were around from the beginning of the 20th century, they just never reached the kind of commercial and critical success the aforementioned movies managed to achieve. Airport garnered 10 Oscar nominations and a Best Supporting Actress Award for Helen Hayes. The genre died out in the early 1980s and remained dormant until Titanic smashed all kinds of records in 1997. 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow brought home over one-half a billion in worldwide box office.
