Bush Tucker Man:
What's Your Favourite?
I don't mean of the slasher/gore-fest/zombie genres, I mean of the 'It Could Happen' scenario
1. 'OutBreak'
I started watching this at work last night (on a late tea-break) & finished it off at home (after SWMBO had watched 'Billy Elliot'*)
Now that's a scary proposition, an airborne virus gets transported around the world on a passenger jet, with no recognised cause & no known cure:(scared):
There's a scare every so often with Ebola

(Mindst you, it also has the 'hot' Rene Russo in it :(biglove):
2. 'SuperVolcano'
This is also a very scary one, as the title sequence states,
'This Is A True Story, It Just Hasn't Happened. Yet...'
It was a brilliant productionfirst aired on the BBC, & still shows on the 'UKTV' documentary channels on cable/satellite
The basic premise explores the 'what if?' if the Yellowstone Caldera blew (this is a 9,000 square kilometer eruptable spot!!)
Most of you have heard of the phrase 'Nuclear Winter'? If Yellowstone goes, that winter would be a very long one indeed!
* There's a link between these 2 films. know what it is? :wink:

For more scientific information, visit this site & pay attention to the diagrams; the first scale map & the comparative magma outputs.
3. 'Armeggedon'/'Deep Impact'
There's been a few near-misses (in cosmic terms).
If an asteroid was found to be on a known collision course, would 'we' be informed, or kept in the dark to prevent the breakdown of every society & religion??
4. 'Independance Day'
Hey!, it could happen (but hopefully without Will )Smith
So, come on, am I 'hitting the mark here', or have I missed a few

BigSi:
There was a documentary on TV a while ago, which depicted several catastrophic events. One was flooding, virus attack, falling meteorite, and some machine opening a black hole? All these events were very plausible, and certainly made you think!
redhand:
Outbreak was an amercianised remake of a classic british series Survivors http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072572/ Thats the problem with Hollywood no originality
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
28 Days Later
that programme that was on about gridlock on the M25 that then causes massive tailbacks and culminates in aircrashes
Hot Fuzz! trust me, it has happened!
