YA Indie Carnival: 11/11/11

YAY... it's 11th November 2011. It sounds exciting doesn't it? Like the kind of big blockbuster disaster movie with big name actors, a huge budget and fantastic special effects?
In that case, the 11 theme I'm going with here is my Top 11 Disaster Movies!
I LOVE disaster movies, not sure why... probably because I love the way people come together and make everything good in the end. No I do not like disaster movies where everyone dies! They just SUCK!
So, here's my list of 11 of my all-time favourite ever disaster movies, in no particular order:

11. Independence Day

Will Smith kicking alien ass. Do we need anything more?

10. Titanic

Leonardo DiCaprio when he was adorably cute with the beautiful English lass Kate Winslet. Yes I know I said I don't like movies where people die but, well... it's just so epic not to include.

9. The Day After Tomorrow

New York in the worst snow storm, biggest flood ever and it has the most gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal in it.

8. Volcano

Tommy Lee Jones. He just rocks, ya know?

7. Dante's Peak

I can't even count how many times this movie is on TV but it doesn't matter, I just HAVE to watch it, EVERY time! I love it. It helps, of course, that it's got Pierce Brosnan in it!

6. Poseidon

A re-make of the original (The Poseidon Adventure, which was out before I was born), this makes my list purely because it's got Josh Lucas in it. Comprende?

5. Twister

Two people who used to be together that should be together but they're not. 

And all that in the face of flying cows and RVs. You just gotta love it!

4. Armageddon

It's all in the song, baby... "I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep, Cause I'd miss you, babe and I don't wanna miss a thing....." That and the' I'm leaving on a jet plane' song scene!

3. Deep Impact

That scene on the beach, where Tea Leoni's character is on the beach with her dad, the massive tsunami appears and she turns to him and goes "daddy". That just gets me, floods of tears... EVERY TIME.

2. The Perfect Storm

Two words: George. Clooney.

1. Deep Blue Sea

Awesomeness of a movie. I'm now terrified of the ocean but I guess it was Jaws and Piranha that did that to me! Oh and another thing... LL Cool J. Swoon.
