[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 349951, member: 5079"] For New Year's Eve: THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (1972). It's odd to me that this is so often considered a "bad movie" or even a "so bad it's good" movie. I think it's straight up good, certainly better than any of the other 70s disaster films. The plot is efficient, with a sense of urgency; in comparison, THE TOWERING INFERNO felt downright lacksidasical. The special effects are topnotch and hold up surprisingly well for a 50 year old movie. The actors are mostly excellent, although I'm a little iffy about Red Buttons' performance. The disparate characters are likable or relatable and, for the most part, behave as one might expect in such a dire situation: stressed, desperate, squabbling but occasionally noble. I have no idea why Roger Ebert and other film critics were so snobby about this. What else would one expect from a movie about an upside down boat?
