      Ice Station Zebra (Ernest Borgnine), Bat 21 (Gene Hackman.), Air America (Mel Gibson) & Flight Of The Phoenix (Jimmy Stewart) Drama.
      Yes you should do Twister, also Dantes Peak & Volcano (Tommy Lee Jones) Disaster.

    The Poseidon Adventure (1972), The Towering Inferno (1974), and the Airport franchise including Airport (1970), Airport 1975, Airport '77 and The Concorde: Airport '79, were all part of a disaster movie phenomenon that was popular during the '70s. The Airport movies eventually spawned the spoof parody Airplane (1980) as a lampoon.

      Just don't include City on Fire (Shelly Winters was in it) which was absolutely ridiculous although it had a good premise. As well as Irwin Allan's Night the Bridge Fell Down with Leslie Nielsen, good premise, badly written and poor special effects. And never watch Poseidon from 2006 bad CGI not one character you care about either. And finally don't watch Beyond the Poseidon Adventure with Michael Caine and Sally Field so bad it has bled into obscurity.

    Ocean water freezes just like freshwater, but at lower temperatures. Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit but seawater freezes at about 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit , because of the salt in it. When seawater freezes, however, the ice contains very little salt because only the water part freezes.

    Dawn mentioned she liked the music. That's because John Williams composed and conducted the score for the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure. The score was nominated for an Oscar, and Williams' work is considered his first big original score. He went on to great things, mostly for Stephen Spielberg, like Jaws, Star Wars, (Indian Jones) Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, Schindler's List, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, etc etc. The year previous though he had down The Cowboys.

    There was a spate of disaster films in in early to mid-1970s. Airport, Airport '75 (the plot for this one is outrageous), Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, and Skyjacked. The Towering Inferno was the best acted of this bunch.
    The birth of the disaster epic was The High and the Mighty from 1954.

    Hello Dawn Marie!😊 You should check out a younger Leslie Nielsen in the sci-fi film "Forbidden Planet" (1956). That film was definitely ahead of its time. Director Irwin Allen was very big in sci-fi in TV in the 60s, then films in the 70s. In the 60's he made TV shows such as "Lost in Space", "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", "Land of the Giants", and "The Time Tunnel". In the 70s he made disaster films like "The Towering Inferno". This movie still holds up well after 50 years thanks to the direction and the all star cast!!!!🏆 Great reactions to this classic disaster film, Dawn Marie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

    Water is a a much better heat conductor than air. That is, water drains your body heat much faster than air does.
    This is why you can sit in a sauna at 90 degrees (celsius) for a while, but sitting in 90 degrees water would be bad.
    It's the same on the other side on the scale; ocean water can be 4 degrees, which will drain your body heat in minutes,
    while you can stay outside for an hour or so without much problems.

    I highly recommend two 1974 action thrillers in a similar vein of all star casts and suspense. JUGGERNAUT has Richard Harris and young Anthony Hopkins trying to defuse a series of bombs on a cruise ship. And the original THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE has Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau facing off as, respectively, a terrorist who hijacks a NYC subway train and the transit supervisor who must negotiate with him over the radio.

    FWIW, it's not always aliens.
    For an entirely different, and very moving, performance by Ernest Borgnine check out the drama/romance _Marty_ (1955). _Marty_ was nominated for eight Oscars and won four: Best Picture; Best Actor - Borgnine; Best Director; and Best Screenplay.
    Gene Hackman's first Oscar was for the 1971 action/crime/drama _The French Connection,_ which is based on an actual police case in New York.
    Leslie Nielsen's first real comic role was in _Airplane!_ Before that he'd always been cast in serious roles. For a very much younger Leslie Nielsen in a leading, romantic role, check out the 1956 science fiction film _Forbidden Planet._
    Shelley Winters won two Best Supporting Actress Oscars. I think you'd really enjoy her performance in the 1966 comedy/drama _Alfie,_ which stars a very young Michael Caine.

    Water doesn't have to be literally freezing to kill you VERY quickly. The heat drains out of your body and just shuts down. But for people jumping off a ship into near-freezing or sub-freezing water it's a significant shock. Your natural reaction is to gasp - to suck in air, which could mean sucking in water instead. And then you're immersed in water so cold it feels like being stabbed... until the hypothermia sets in a few minutes later.

    • @davestang5454
      @davestang5454 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The water temperature could have been much higher than near freezing and still been deadly. Anyone in that situation inside the ship would have known very quickly how cold the water was just by getting into a shallow pool of it. Just getting soaked by it could have spelled death by hypothermia over time.

    Fun Fact. The Poseidon Adventure is based Loosely on a true event. In 1942, the legendary Oceanliner RMS Queen Mary was being used as a troop ship carrying soldiers from the USA to the Uk. The ship was sailing through rough weather when she was hit side on by a rogue wave and rolled over just marginally avoiding the point of no return. Queen Mary righted herself and sailed on with many injured in the incident. The Queen Mary is also used as the Poseidon in parts of the movie i believe.

    Paul Gallico, who wrote the book The Poseidon Adventure, got the idea when he was on the Queen Mary when she was a troopship in WWII. The Queen Mary (The SS Poseidon is modeled after her.) got hit by a big wave during a storm. She rolled and took a very long time to right herself. Paul thought that the liner would roll over. That experience stuck with him and over twenty years later, Paul Gallico wrote a novel about a luxury liner capsizing.

    I believe the captain's plan was to get the ship sideswiped because he believed the wave hadn't crested. However because it hit some shallows, the wave crested and he had to quickly turn the ship into the wave to pierce the whitewater but he didn't have enough time. The ship was top heavy to begin with anyway.

Which I think the original came out in 1969. And there was a whole slew of them. Along with the towering inferno and other movies of the day. Like the original death wish starring Charles bronson. The Sting with Robert Redford Paul Newman and Robert shaw. And taking of the Pelham 123. The original of course that came out around I don't know 73 or so.

    Dawn, Fresh water freezes at 32 F/ 0 C. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature like -2 C?
    Ernest Borgnine had a huge career. He did a TV show called, McHale's Navy, a WWII comedy. You should check it out. It's still pretty funny. In the cast, there were five Academy Award winners in this movie: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Shelley Winters, and Red Buttons. Thanks for all you do, Dawn. You're the very best!

    Disaster Movies were really big in the 70's and almost all had really big major stars in the cast. Check out "The Towering Inferno."
    The scene where the water starts coming in and all the people who stayed in the dining area drowned is one of the most haunting things I've ever seen.

    Most of the passengers on the Titanic who were in the water died within 15 minutes from hypothermia. The water was -2 degrees Celsius so there was pack ice on top of the water but there is so much water in the ocean that it doesn’t fully freeze. Hope this helps!

    Lovely thoughts at the end, and indeed, this was a film that played a LOT on Sunday afternoon television in the later '70s, and I spent plenty of time curled up under a blanket on the couch watching it. It is weirdly "comfy," as you say, subject matter notwithstanding, and I know many Gen-Xers who also love this film beyond any intrinsic quality.

    Saw this on tv when i was 8 years old (1985) and haven't felt comfortable on water since.
    Great movie!

    I still fondly recall seeing this film on initial release age 13. I read the Paul Gallico novel quickly thereafter which has some interesting differences in characterization. Gallico, incidentally, I much later learned, was inspired by a real life event that he experienced on an ocean liner when a rogue wave rocked the ship badly enough to cause furnishings to shift and topple.

    This was one of the "disaster movies" that were real popular in the early 70's of which Airplane! was a parody.

      Which begs the question: Why was there never a 'Cruiseship!' comedy flick?
