The sheer tension this movie still makes me feel after i watched it about 2 times before, is insane.

[@andrewtaylor940]

It’s always amazing that William’s did the music both for this and Earthquake in the same year. Poseidon Adventure completes his disaster Porn trifecta.

[@framesdaimaginacao]

One of the BEST disaster movies in movie history!

[@7avier_7erez]

And what about the fourth part of Indiana Jones? XD

[@andrewmccormack3395]

The very best one.

[@jeffreykozinski4585]

I fully agree. Their won't be a other movie like the towering inferno with a cast like it has in any future movie now and for awhile.

I was an extra in the dedication seqence. It was freezing cold at the Bank of America HQ plaza the night they filmed this at midnight. I lived in San Francisco for 17 years, and I had never been that cold up to that time. This is one of my favorite movies and I got to watch the special premiere for the families of firefighters who died the light of duty at a theater on Geary Boulevard. Got the beat Irwin Allen later quite by accident and I could not go to the party. He was throwing. I wish I had. I probably have watched this movie about 50 times.

An absolutely amazing score for the greatest disaster flick of all time. Just watched the movie again recently, and it still holds up brilliantly. It wasn’t just that this movie was stacked with an impossible amount of star-power, it’s that they also delivered excellent performances. Seriously, Steve McQueen AND Paul Newman AND William Holden AND Faye Dunaway AND Fred Astaire. I mean, holy smokes, the second stringers are Robert Vaughn and Robert Wagner, etc.. Hell, even bit-parts are played by serious actors, like Dabney Coleman. The result is a movie where suspension of disbelief is super-high, due to everyone, even small roles, delivering great performances, with excellent writing, remarkably good practical effects, and John Williams outstanding music.

I could not have said it better! Perfection.

Won Oscar for Cinematography ! Opening sequence with helicopter flying off California coast - then popping thru Fog to see Golden Gate bridge and John Williams opening score - Won for award at the beginning !

[@smakfu1375]

@@w9gb When I thought about it, I realized that may have been the first time anyone had done that sort of sweeping, theme driven opening. Today it’s somewhat of a cliche, but prior to The Towering Inferno, I don’t think it’d been done before.

[@xandejove9667]

Obra prima do Cinema com a luxuosa colaboração do Mestre John Willians 👏 👏

[@blunite545]

WOW. Awesome video. My favorite movie back when i was a kid seeing it at the drive-in. Still my top favorite as well as the Poseidon Adventure.

[@Yuhon100]

I hope they do a re-make of this movie with a different name but close to this title.

[@neonboy99]

The fashion then was timeless ❤❤❤

[@jawoody9745]

It was the Best Movie in the World when I was 13. I saw it 12 times. I had the soundtrack album. Had read both books, and loved this music.

[@danielesteve8359]

Such an excellent work of edition!!!

[@robertheath3064]

Good job I really like that opening for the movie

Thanks.

[@derekseven1647]

Even though this music is from The towering inferno, this music always reminds me of Superman flying around saving people

Já passaram 40 anos desde que vi a primeira vez. E cada vez que me deparo com ele novamente, não consigo desgrudar os olhos.

[@Karpuffelstein]

After the fire has been extinguished, the lights are still on in large parts of the tower. Despite the fire, and tons of water that have been rushed trough it! Maybe, Simmons didn't do such a bad job after all. :)

[@jimvinespresents...8463]

Disaster movies don't get any better than...THE TOWERING INFERNO (but "The Poseidon Adventure" is a very close second)!!

[@user-fp5mu1es9g]

パニック映画の傑作‼️

[@RichardEKranz]

Excellent. Can you do one for Jaws and Superman the Movie?

[@evenstrongmencry866]

Wow, well done I hope you are film students. Steve at the end a little out of sequence perfect meld with Mr Willams sound track.

[@IvanMar1994]

Я решил посмотреть после Крокуса, там примерно такая же была ситуация, как и в этом фильме, тоже не соблюдение противопожарной безопасности и поэтому так много жертв! Вечная память всем погибшим!

[@samuelbarber6177]

Let’s be honest, the main reason to watch this movie is to experience the legendary clashing of egos with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen duking it out so hard for top billing that they had to put their names diagonally in the credits.

[@Guyverman01]

Is that tower a prop? If so, I get the feeling Godzilla could show up at any moment and smash it.

A matte painting in the film was recycled in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan(1982).

한국의 대연각 호텔 화재를 바탕으로 만들어진 영화라는 말도 있던데.. 감독의 속사정은 본인만이 알듯. 대연각 호텔 화재 사건 검색해보면 진짜 끔찍하다.

So, where's the 4K?
