The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
One of the funniest and best made disaster movies of the 70s sees the participation of classy actors such as Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters and of course the priceless Gene Hackman. Directed by the luxury craftsman Name Ronald, The Poseidon Adventure promises tension, action, magnificent scenery used in a new and spectacular way, and obviously the game of the stars who fall under the blows of the disaster. Even today we have a world of fun, seeing is believing. Available on CHILI, Amazon Prime Video.
Titanic (1997)
The masterpiece of the eleven Oscars and of every box office record broken – in its time – see James Cameron build a very romantic love story before the explosion of the most spectacular disaster movie ever. Kate Winslet e Leonardo DiCaprio they make of Titanic a moving, absorbing and wonderful film for the eyes. And for the heart, of course! Little else to add, the history of cinema speaks for this epochal film, still reviewed by millions of people today. Stratospheric. Available on Rakuten TVCHILI, Google PlayAmazon Prime Video.
The Perfect Storm (2000)
What a strange operation this was directed by Wolfgang Petersen. Exceptional cast – in addition to the protagonists George Clooney e Mark Wahlberg we want to signal the presence of the always great John Hawkes – portentous special effects for what is instead an intimate and heartbreaking human drama in the heart. The perfect storm is based on a true story and mixes mainstream cinema and human drama with an unstable balance. The mix you don’t expect. The public loved it. For us it remains a fascinating “monster”. Available on Rakuten TV, CHILI, Google Play, Apple Itunes, NOW.
Life of Pi (2012)
Another great drama set largely in the open sea. The Lee adapts the novel of the same name with a personal sensibility an eye to the spectacle for the general public. Life of Pi won the hearts of millions of viewers around the world and won four Academy Awards, including Best Director. An emotional and intense film, visually sublime. The part on the boat is beautiful and heartbreaking, metaphorically vibrant. Great Ang Lee. Available on Rakuten TV, CHILI, Google Play, Apple Itunes, Amazon Prime Video, Disney +.
Captain Phillips – Offshore Attack (2016)
And finally Tom Hanks in one of his best acting performances, captain of a ship taken hostage by pirates. Captain Phillips – Offshore Attack it is a show of very hard tension, truthful staging and adrenaline-pumping editing. Paul Greengrass he confirms himself as a master of cinema of combined commitment and spectacle, producing a film destined to remain etched in the troubled soul of the public. Oscar nomination for best film of the year and great success with the public. All deserved. Available on Rakuten TV, CHILI, Google Play, Apple Itunes, NetflixAmazon Prime Video.
