The original Poseidon Adventure as someone else said, from '72 I believe. It's a true classic with an excellent cast for the time.

Day After Tomorrow's okay.

Cloverfield's not bad.

I like the ones from the '70's where the whole genre started like Airport, The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure and Earthquake.

I love disaster movies. Many good ones mentioned already.

Supervolcano is good (about Yellowstone erupting)

Fatal contact: Bird flu in America

The testament (or maybe it was just "Testament"). The movie follows a family of five from just before the start of a nuclear war.

Threads. Too slow and long but basically good.

When the wind blows.

The day after tomorrow.

Airport (all of them) The Concorde in particular.

Turbulence.
