Why are they mashed together here, when "Star Trek" gets its own board under "Film: General"? Sorry, folks: Gone With the Wind and The Towering Inferno are as different as apples and squids.
sharei was really miffed to finally get a disaster board and see it pre-obfuscated with unrelated crap
shareWell, at least we can agree that in this case, segregation might be the right answer. The genres are totally unrelated--why not mix "Westerns" with "Nature Films" because lots of John Ford movies have shots of the outdoors?
shareExcept claudius has the rights of it -- "epic" and "disaster" aren't the same thing at all.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure (original) are epics.

I can see that. One could say that all disaster movies are epics but not all epics are disaster movies. Or are there disaster movies that somehow are not an epic as well?

What do you mean? Apples And Squids Are Both Edibles That Play Important Roles In Mythology. Therefore Apples And Squids Are Both Edible Myths: the same.
