You'll have to watch it on YouTube, but watch the British film, Threads ... you want catastrophe ... that's catastrophe!

Oh I agree with domergirl, Threads is GREAT. The best of that awful genre IMO!
On a campier note, the 70s brought us wonderful disaster pictures with Surroundsound and Quake-O-Feel or whatever theater effects. If you like old 70s all-star casts, you might enjoy The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure. In TI, watch the keylight follow Faye Dunaway around in the crowd scenes  |

Sorry, but Threads makes The Day After look like the day after a haircut.

Damnation Alley
Last Night - this I believe is a Canadian movie, it's definitely about a catastrophe but in a more cerebral way. Think "Stranger Than Paradise" but set to the end of the world.
Warning Sign
Night of the Comet - such 80s fun!
And of course, I have to watch this one myself as I have only read the Stephen King short story on it - The Mist.
