Dante's Peak
Volcanologist Harry Dalton comes to the sleepy town of Dante's Peak to investigate the recent rumblings of the dormant volcano the burg is named for. Before long, his worst fears are realized when a massive eruption hits, and immediately, Harry, the mayor and the townspeople find themselves fighting for their lives amid a catastrophic nightmare.

unlabelledView post →Feeling like a disaster movie marathon after Twisters, so onto Dante's Peak. I love this movie in general, but it was filmed near here and is locally famous to the point where we went on a field trip in grade school to the town where it was shot.
unlabelledView post →Dante's Peak is a film about falling in lava
unlabelledView post →I'll watch Twister whenever its on. I don't think it's a great film, I just like looking at tornados cause tornados are cool Volcanos are cool but I wouldn't bother with Volcano or Dante's Peak. That's why you put clips of Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in between the footage of tornados.
unlabelledView post →in my mind there are three ways to watch a movie and find it ~a success~, right - for a good time - for an interesting time - for an elevating artform Dante's Peak is all of these and we should stop pretending otherwise
unlabelledView post →We had a huge upswing in listeners this week, but upon closer investigation, the majority of them are coming from Ho Chi Minh City. So either we're getting swept up by some kind of bots or the people of Vietnam have a deep fascination with the movie Dante's Peak.
unlabelledView post →I'm watching Dante's Peak and I forgot what a hot mess this movie is.

unlabelledView post →anyway, watching Volcano. saw it with my mom and sister when i was 12 and loved it. although.. Dante's Peak is also on tubi, and that's a movie i saw with my dad when i was 12 and loved it. didn't really dislike any movie i saw in a theater until i was maybe 14
unlabelledView post →17 minutes in, I don't think Dante's Peak is gonna be a good movie but it's a "picture" in the old (good) sense, and Pierce Bronsan and Linda Hamilton are both being Movie Stars like we barely make anymore.
unlabelledView post →Dante's Peak (1997), which Ian pointed out is like if Sorcerer was a family film. VERY impressive and clever practical effects, I actually liked the writing a lot even if Brosnan's character didn't do much for me. So much heart and craft is here, I'm sad the movie was HATED on release. 4.8/5
unlabelledView post →Okay, #MovieSky, what's your most-used movie quote? Mine: "Coffe time, coffee, coffee, coffee... cappuccino,Java!" from DANTE'S PEAK And occasionally "You're fired, everybody's fuckin" fired!" from SPEED. (Reserved for stressful days in the shop)
unlabelledView post →Rewatched Dante's Peak earlier. Can't go wrong with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton (and an acid lake and doggo)
unlabelledView post →Put the town on alert! Dante's Peak is coming to 4K Blu-ray. > Kino Lorber will be bringing the Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton volcano film home in crisp 4K UltraHD sometime next year.
unlabelledView post →The acid lake scene in Dante's Peak is the most terrifying shit I have EVER seen in a disaster movie. Goddamn.

unlabelledView post →Are Channel 4 high? They're showing Dante's Peak at 11 pm on a Friday night. That is a ITV 2 Sunday afternoon film!! Friday night on Channel 4 is for dark and twisted and foreign films.
unlabelledView post →I think you mean Dante's Peak, but I would love to see what 1997 would have done with an action movie inspired by Dante's Inferno
unlabelledView post →#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Going to shout out the practical effects in Dante's Peak. The miniatures and explosives were incredible. Definitely an underrated film.
unlabelledView post →Some late 90's or early 2000's time travel movie. If I describe the plot, you will tell me it is The Butterfly Effect. But it isn't. I was trying to figure out what it was several years ago, tried watching The Butterfly Effect, and it was not the movie I was remembering, but it was similar enough in enough ways that I can't find anything else. It feels kinda like how we had multiples sets of similar movies released in that time - Bug's Life and Ants. Mission to Mars and Red Planet. Deep…

unlabelledView post →Man, you couldn't make a movie like Dante's Peak in today's Hollywood. *This wolf thinks the town of Dante's Peak was destroyed during the filming of the movie and has not since been rebuilt*
unlabelledView post →Dante's Peak, a 1997 film. With Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton. I've watched more than 3 times.
unlabelledView post →I was watching Dante's Peak and in a scene where volcanic ash is rushing towards the screen the film reel caught on fire. The theater filled up with smoke and my dad said, "Wow, they're using a fog machine". Then the fire alarms went off

unlabelledView post →This Volcano death scene is definitely a top 5 silly movie death. Every tiny character reaction and movement in it is just perfect. Dante's Peak really needed a moment like this and just never landed one.
unlabelledView post →Can't go wrong with "Dante's Peak" as: -Not a bad portrayal of hazards while the volcano is erupting -a fun "disaster" movie with some ridiculous things thrown in (good geology quiz to spot the realistic/fake) -Actually a good movie (well-acted/filmed).
unlabelledView post →what's a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. 🎥 Toss up between these two: Deep Impact & Dante's Peak. If they're on telly we watch them - & I own them on DVD just in case.
unlabelledView post →would be very funny if we end up with Scorsese and Malick Jesus films in a Volcano/Dante's Peak situation variety.com/2024/film/ne...
unlabelledView post →Watching Dante's Peak on E4. Very enjoyable disaster film and the climactic special effects and lovely model work are still way better than those in any blockbuster of the last 20 years. Also Gwan Navan dude.
unlabelledView post →I'm so torn. Rear Window is about to start on BBC Two but Dante's Peak is gonna start on Film 4 in 15 minutes. I love rear window, but I feel like Dante's Peak is the drama I need at this time of day.
unlabelledView post →Might be time to watch Dante's Peak again this week. #Filmsky Always the bit in a Disaster Film is when they show up at first and it's always quiet, nothing going on to indicate that it's going to Blow......then things go downhill. The old "It's Too Quiet." you know the noise is coming.
unlabelledView post →A similar thing happens with a certain genre of movie that seems to spike at 30 years ago or even 40 years ago (Aliens, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Dante's Peak, Volcano) bsky.app/profile/zinn...
unlabelledView post →Excited for the Dante's Peak and Volcano versions of the movie about this, "CURRENTLY CLEAN" and "OPSEC"
unlabelledView post →Our dinnertime film was 1957's THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED, with a suitably explosive DANTE'S PEAK after that.
unlabelledView post →Wasn't this movie called Dante's Peak?
unlabelledView post →FUN FACT: Listen closely to Dante's Peak, and you'll hear a Wilhelm Scream! This classic stock sound effect has appeared in over 400 films, but was originally recorded in 1951 for a film called Distant Drums, voiced by Sheb Wooley, singer of the classic novelty song "The Purple People Eater."

unlabelledView post →So after watching Dante's Peak (97) and Volcano (97) it would be rude to leave out the cinematic marvel that is Daylight (86). A relatively low key disaster movie that snuck in just before everything became Emmeriched.
unlabelledView post →Because I'm easily influenced tonight's movie will be Dante's Peak (97). Yeah, fuck you Volcano (97) you third rate action movie. (Although I will probably watch you tomorrow)
unlabelledView post →Rewatching DANTE'S PEAK. Considered a bomb but I always liked it, so underrated -- terrific story, good cast, great FX/ set-pieces: opening, eruption, acid lake, Dreyfus' death, melting tires, pyroclastic cloud, mine collapse... 😀 #filmsky #moviesky #volcanos
unlabelledView post →Dante's Peak (1997) Roger Donaldson One of my favourite catastrophy movie. Excellent effects in this🤌
unlabelledView post →Dante's Peak is probably my favorite Disaster film as of now, this shit is so damn good.
unlabelledView post →me: okay from very scientifically accurate disaster movie (Dante's Peak) to very unscientific disaster movie but it's fun and I'm a pervert wife: I feel like I should know what movie this is me: *puts on san andraes* listen I have a love affair with alexandria daddario's tits. me: also her eyes
unlabelledView post →I swear to god (or something like her) that the header for the review in a famous newspaper in a (once) major city said Dante's Peak: This Movie Just Blows. Apparently not a Pierce Brosnan fan.

unlabelledView post →it's funny how back in the '90s after a big hit movie you'd have big budget imitators as sort of a trend like Twister came out in 1996 and immediately you got Volcano & Dante's Peak in 97 and Armageddon & Deep Impact in 98 and "disaster movie" now gets to be sort of a trend of the late '90s

unlabelledView post →I recently watched a movie with Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan that was horrible because they had zero chemistry and just phoned it in. Right now I'm watching Dante's Peak with Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan, and the chemistry is believable, they're authentic and it's a real, adult relationship.👍
